Biblical Characters in the Light of Correspondence Author: John Kim (Ph.D) This book is not a historical survey of biblical figures. It is a spiritual map-a symbolic journey through the soul, guided by the lives of those who walked before us in Scripture. "Whose life am I living today?" "Which biblical figure mirrors my current state of heart?" These are the questions that sparked the writing of this work. In the doctrine of correspondence, every biblical person, name, and deed reflects a spiritual state. Cain is not just a murderer-he is the image of knowledge without love. Nimrod is not simply a city-builder-he is the prototype of religious systems devoid of inner life. David is more than a shepherd boy-he is the warrior of truth. Abraham becomes the obedient will, Joseph the faithful soul in darkness, and Paul the wrestler between calling and misunderstanding. Drawing from Emanuel Swedenborg's spiritual insight, this book opens a new dimension of biblical reading. Each figure becomes a mirror-inviting the reader to examine the movements of their own soul and listen for the voice of God within. This book is for: seeking deeper symbolic meaning in biblical narratives desiring to understand their own spiritual condition through the Word interested in Swedenborg's theology and the law of correspondence and spiritual directors exploring the inner life through Scripture who wishes to encounter the Bible not as a past record, but as a living revelation Read the Bible not as history, but as prophecy of your own heart. Find yourself in the figures-and let their path illuminate your own.
