Loaves And Fishes in the Bible — Hidden Meaning & Symbolism
Loaves and fishes = the word of God and faith, multiplied. In the feeding of the five thousand, 5 loaves are 5 servings of God (the word of God) and 2 fish are 2 servings of faith — given without limit, they feed the whole multitude of your thoughts. The story is not a miracle of bread; it is the teaching that when you give truth and faith, they multiply far beyond what you started with, and twelve baskets are left over.
Read the whole map. Every symbol in the Bible is a state of your own mind — the book lays out the entire system, from Genesis to Revelation, in plain language.
