Warm Honey

Book excerpt: What does warm honey have to do with the Bible? The word "Honey" occurs 61 times in the New King James Version of the Bible. Joshua led the Israelites into the promised land flowing with "milk and honey". "Milk and honey" are used in this case as a metaphor representing God's blessings. Jesus ate fish and honey with his disciples after he was resurrected (Luke 24:42). In this case, the honey represented the joy that Jesus and the disciples experienced at their reunion and of the resurrection of Jesus.Honey is symbolic for joy, prosperity, good health, God's blessings, and especially God's word-the Bible. God's word is sweet to the spirit and soul just like honey. Humans love physically sweet things like honey, chocolate, candy, ice cream, cake, etc. Our soul and spirit are the same way craving the sweetness of God's word. This book discusses the sweetness of God's word.
