Although the Bible does not frequently mention wax directly, its properties and uses can be inferred from the cultural and historical context of the ancient Near East. Symbolism and Usage 1. Symbol of Transience and Change: Wax, due to its ability to melt and change form, is often associated with transience and transformation. This symbolism is reflected in the Bible, where the melting of wax is used metaphorically to describe the power and presence of God. In <a href="/psalms/68-2.htm">Psalm 68:2</a> , it is written, "As smoke is blown away, You will drive them out; as wax melts before the fire, the wicked will perish in the presence of God." Here, the melting of wax signifies the inevitable defeat and disappearance of the wicked in the face of divine judgment. 2. Illustration of Fear and Awe: The imagery of wax melting is also used to convey fear and awe in the presence of God's majesty. In <a href="/psalms/97-5.htm">Psalm 97:5</a> , the psalmist declares, "The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth." This vivid picture emphasizes the overwhelming power of God, before whom even the most formidable natural features dissolve. 3. Craftsmanship and Utility: While the Bible does not explicitly describe the use of wax in craftsmanship, historical evidence suggests that wax was used in the ancient world for sealing documents, making molds for metal casting, and as a component in various artistic endeavors. The process of using wax in lost-wax casting, for example, was well-known in antiquity and allowed for the creation of intricate metal objects. 4. Symbol of Purity and Preservation: In some biblical interpretations, wax is seen as a symbol of purity and preservation. The process of refining and purifying beeswax can be likened to spiritual purification. Although not directly mentioned in the Bible, this symbolism aligns with the broader biblical theme of refining and purifying one's faith and character. Cultural Context In the ancient Near East, beeswax was a valuable commodity due to its versatility and utility. It was used in religious rituals, as a waterproofing agent, and in the production of candles and lamps. The use of wax in lighting is particularly significant, as light holds profound symbolic meaning in the Bible, representing truth, guidance, and the presence of God. Conclusion While wax is not a central theme in the Bible, its properties and uses provide rich symbolic meaning that enhances our understanding of biblical texts. The imagery of wax melting before the presence of God serves as a powerful reminder of His supreme authority and the transient nature of earthly power.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Made by melting the combs of bees.
