In the context of Scripture, sparkling often symbolizes purity, holiness, and the glory of God.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/ezekiel/1-7.htm">Ezekiel 1:7</a> :</b> "Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf, gleaming like polished bronze." While the term "sparkled" is not directly used in this verse, the imagery of gleaming or shining is akin to sparkling. This description is part of Ezekiel's vision of the cherubim, where the brightness and radiance of these heavenly beings reflect the glory and holiness of God. The polished bronze suggests a divine purity and strength, characteristics often associated with God's heavenly realm.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/job/41-18.htm">Job 41:18</a> :</b> "His snorting flashes forth light, and his eyes are like the rays of dawn." In this passage, describing the Leviathan, the imagery of light and dawn conveys a sense of awe and majesty. The sparkling eyes of the Leviathan symbolize power and the untamed nature of God's creation, reminding readers of the Creator's unmatched authority and the beauty inherent in His works.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Themes:</b><br><br>· <b>Divine Glory:</b> Sparkling is often associated with the divine presence and glory of God. The brilliance and radiance that accompany divine manifestations in the Bible serve to remind believers of God's holiness and majesty. The sparkling elements in visions and descriptions of heavenly beings underscore the purity and perfection of God's nature.<br><br>· <b>Purity and Holiness:</b> Sparkling imagery is frequently linked to purity and holiness. Just as precious metals and stones sparkle when refined and polished, so too are believers called to reflect the purity and holiness of God in their lives. The sparkling nature of divine elements serves as a metaphor for the sanctification process, where believers are refined and made to shine with the light of Christ.<br><br>· <b>Creation's Beauty:</b> The use of sparkling imagery in describing elements of creation, such as the Leviathan, highlights the beauty and intricacy of God's handiwork. It serves as a reminder of the Creator's attention to detail and the inherent beauty found in the natural world, which reflects His glory.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>The concept of sparkling in the Bible, though not extensively detailed, carries significant theological implications. It points to the transcendence and immanence of God—His glory is both beyond human comprehension and yet present in the world He created. The sparkling elements in Scripture invite believers to contemplate the majesty of God and to strive for holiness, reflecting His light in a world often shrouded in darkness.<br><br>In summary, while the term "sparkled" itself may not be prevalent in biblical texts, the imagery it evokes is rich with meaning, pointing to the divine attributes of glory, purity, and the beauty of God's creation.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Sparkle.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/naylor/heart_talks/talk_seventeen_what_the_redbird.htm"><span class="l">What the Redbird Told Me</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Snow covered the ground.
