They are frequently associated with beauty, transience, and the glory of God's creation. The imagery of flowers serves to illustrate spiritual truths and moral lessons, reflecting the fleeting nature of life and the splendor of divine craftsmanship. Symbolism and Imagery 1. Transience and Mortality: Flowers are commonly used to symbolize the fleeting nature of human life. In <a href="/isaiah/40-6.htm">Isaiah 40:6-8</a>, the prophet declares, "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever." This passage emphasizes the temporary nature of human existence in contrast to the eternal word of God. 2. Beauty and Glory: Flowers are also emblematic of beauty and the glory of creation. In the Song of Solomon, the beloved is compared to a flower, highlighting her beauty and desirability. <a href="/songs/2.htm">Song of Solomon 2:1</a> states, "I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valley." This poetic imagery underscores the aesthetic and romantic qualities attributed to flowers. 3. Divine Provision and Care: Jesus uses flowers to illustrate God's provision and care for His creation. In <a href="/matthew/6-28.htm">Matthew 6:28-30</a>, He says, "And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these." This teaching encourages trust in God's provision, as He clothes the flowers with beauty and will surely care for His people. Cultural and Historical Context In biblical times, flowers were an integral part of the natural landscape of the Near East. The region's diverse flora included lilies, roses, and other wildflowers that adorned the fields and hillsides. These flowers were not only appreciated for their beauty but also held cultural significance in various rituals and celebrations. Flowers in Worship and Rituals While the Bible does not explicitly mention the use of flowers in worship, their presence in the natural environment would have made them accessible for use in religious and cultural ceremonies. The beauty of flowers could have been seen as a reflection of God's glory and an appropriate offering in the context of worship. Lessons from Flowers The biblical references to flowers serve as reminders of several key spiritual truths: · Humility and Dependence: Just as flowers depend on the sun and rain for growth, believers are reminded of their dependence on God for sustenance and life. · Eternal Perspective: The transient nature of flowers encourages believers to focus on eternal values rather than temporary, worldly pursuits. · God's Creative Power: The intricate design and beauty of flowers point to the Creator's power and artistry, inspiring awe and worship. In summary, flowers in the Bible are rich in symbolism and serve as powerful illustrations of spiritual truths. They remind believers of the beauty and brevity of life, the assurance of God's provision, and the call to trust in His eternal promises.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Very few species of flowers are mentioned in the Bible although they abounded in Palestine. It has been calculated that in Western Syria and Palestine from two thousand to two thousand five hundred plants are found, of which about five hundred probably are British wild-flowers. Their beauty is often alluded to (Cant. 2:12; <a href="/matthew/6-28.htm">Matthew 6:28</a>). They are referred to as affording an emblem of the transitory nature of human life (<a href="/job/14-2.htm">Job 14:2</a>; <a href="/psalms/103-15.htm">Psalm 103:15</a>; <a href="/isaiah/28-1.htm">Isaiah 28:1</a>; <a href="/isaiah/40-6.htm">40:6</a>; <a href="/james/1-10.htm">James 1:10</a>). Gardens containing flowers and fragrant herbs are spoken of (Cant. 4:16; <a href="/james/6-2.htm">6:2</a>). <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>FLOWERSflou'-erz (BLOOM, BLOSSOM, etc.): (1) gibh`ol, literally, "a small cup," hence, calyx or corolla of a flower (<a href="/exodus/9-31.htm">Exodus 9:31</a>, "The flax was in bloom"). (2) nets (<a href="/genesis/40-10.htm">Genesis 40:10</a>, nitstsah, "a flower" or "blossom"; <a href="/job/15-33.htm">Job 15:33</a> <a href="/isaiah/18-5.htm">Isaiah 18:5</a>). These words are used of the early berries of the vine or olive. (3) nitstsan, "a flower"; plural only, nitstsanim (<a href="/songs/2-12.htm">Songs 2:12</a>, "The flowers appear on the earth"). (4) perach, root to "burst forth" expresses an early stage of flowering; "blossom" (<a href="/isaiah/5-24.htm">Isaiah 5:24</a>; <a href="/isaiah/18-5.htm">Isaiah 18:5</a>); "flower" (<a href="/nahum/1-4.htm">Nahum 1:4</a>, "The flower of Lebanon languisheth"). Used of artificial flowers in candlesticks (<a href="/exodus/25-31.htm">Exodus 25:31</a>). (5) tsits, "flower" (<a href="/isaiah/40-6.htm">Isaiah 40:6</a>); plural tsitstsim, flowers as architectural ornaments (<a href="/1_kings/6-18.htm">1 Kings 6:18</a>); tsitsah, "the fading flower of his glorious beauty" (<a href="/isaiah/28-1.htm">Isaiah 28:1, 4</a>; also <a href="/numbers/17-8.htm">Numbers 17:8</a> <a href="/job/14-2.htm">Job 14:2</a>, etc.). (6) anthos, in Septuagint equivalent of all the Hebrew words (<a href="/james/1-10.htm">James 1:10, 11</a> <a href="/1_peter/1-24.htm">1 Peter 1:24</a>). The beauty of the profusion of flowers which cover Palestine every spring receives but scant reference in the Old Testament; <a href="/songs/2-12.htm">Songs 2:12</a> is perhaps the only clear reference. It is noticeable that the native of Syria thinks little of flowers unless it be for their perfume. our Lord's reference to the flowers ("lilies") is well known (<a href="/matthew/6-28.htm">Matthew 6:28</a> <a href="/luke/12-27.htm">Luke 12:27</a>). For details of the flowers of modern Palestine, see BOTANY. The aptness of the expression "flower of the field" for a type of the evanescence of human life (<a href="/job/14-2.htm">Job 14:2</a> <a href="/psalms/103-15.htm">Psalm 103:15</a> <a href="/isaiah/40-6.htm">Isaiah 40:6</a> <a href="/james/1-10.htm">James 1:10</a>) is the more impressive in a land like Palestine where the annual display of wild flowers, so glorious for a few short weeks, is followed by such desolation. The fresh and brilliant colors fade into masses of withered leaves (not uncommonly cleared by burning), and then even these are blown, away, so that but bare, cracked and baked earth remains for long months where once all was beauty, color and life.
