The word symbol does not appear in the Bible, instead the word used is sign and sometimes signet. A sign can be as miraculous as the way the sun, moon and stars appear in a certain conjuncture or as simple as an altar that is given a name. One thing is certain, there is no symbolism over substance in the Bible, everything has a meaning and a purpose. Exodus 28:36, “You are to make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.”
"Rejoice with them that rejoice, and weep with them that weep."
Ro 12
Thought for Today: Thursday May 22
In the midst of the current world’s confusion, wars, crimes and sins, YHVH’s omnipotent hand moves, working out His unchanging plan and purpose. By His providence He sustains every believer and behind the scenes He is working to bring about His divine purpose of each of us. What might that purpose be? Paul recorded it this way: “That… He might gather together in one all things in Moshiach, both which are in heaven and which are on earth” (Ephesians 1:10). Someday soon, all bad things, sin and rebellion of this corrupt universe will be destroyed, and Moshiach’s Kingdom of Righteousness and Peace will rule for ever.
Today is the 40th day of the Omer Count. (On the earlier Omer count)
The day Yeshua ascended back to the Father. Acts 1:3
Here is a piece of music a fellow believer composed for the commemoration of this day some 300 years ago.

i love your conciliation between the perceptions of the 'new' camp vs the 'old' camp.
i will add that i think even if the witnesses were present, they could not aspire to pass the bar of being sinless, and so to throw a stone is to ask for them to be thrown at yourself (for your as yet hidden sin).
also, again, i think, we are all that woman, just as ezekiel 16 is talking directly to us, who else?
has somebody NEVER worshipped an idol? 'cos that's adultery.
