Also: Fishes

What it means

A believer; souls of people.

A lot of fish means a revival or the coming gathering of the saints.

Fish without scales means an unbeliever (Leviticus 11:9).

Your ability to 'catch' people, or to reveal secrets from the deep things of God.

✦ When it is positive

  • A believer or soul ready for the Gospel
  • Revival — many fish = many souls being gathered
  • Evangelism and soul-winning
  • Catching fish — winning people, or drawing out secrets from the deep things of God

⚠ When it is a warning

  • Fish without scales = an unbeliever (unclean per Leviticus 11)

How to tell the difference

The condition of the fish (with or without scales) determines believer vs unbeliever meaning.

Scripture

and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive.”

Luke 5:10 (WEB)

“‘You may eat of all these that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.

Leviticus 11:9 (WEB)
