Bible Question: What does the candle or lamp signify? |
Bible Answer: Prov 20:27 The spirit of man is the lamp of the LORD, Searching all the innermost parts of his being. The lamp here refers to a mans spirit that reveals to God all things. So lamp refers to spirit and spirit of a man refers to a persons conscience in this passage. Here is another passage were sprit can mean conscience. 1 Cor 2:11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? |
