    Actually, I believe God uses everything in life as metaphors and symbolism's. I believe nature is not only here to provide us with food, water, the ability to cloth and shelter ourselves, while at the same time providing a beautifull view from our living room windows, but to provide a vast wealth of understanding many of the mysteries around life, why we are here, what our purpose is, how we are to conduct ourselves and what is going to happen when we die.

    Anytime an individual finds some meaning in an object, situation, or event is a victory for God. He wants us to use the 10% of our brain allocated for use in this lifetime. He wants us to grow spiritually, emotionally, intellectually. By seeing some meaning in something even as obscure as hockey being a metaphor of hell freezing over and a fight of good and evil, He has succeeded in assisting one of his children to grow. Just saying this as jest means the questioner is using his brain. Using your brain gets it active and allows for growth.

    So, while we all laugh at this question, by asking it growth is occurring, by answering it we are provided a means to grow as well, and the laugh we get from it is another good coming from it.

    Thank you for sharing this metaphor with us here at Answers. I think this is an excellent question and I really appreciated it, for stretching my mind, and a great laugh as well. Much happiness and growth your way.

    It's a game. There's no symbolism between Heaven, Hell and Hockey.

    Hell is a physical place outside Jerusalem called the Valley of Hinnom. This is where the Biblical term, Gehenna, came from. I have a picture of it during a snow storm, so I can say I've seen hell freeze over!

    a million. Canada might develop right into a sub-tropical paradise. 2. Hawaii might get the subsequent enlargement crew. 3. Sabers followers might include Brett Hull. 4. The Florida Panthers might win the Stanley Cup.
