Idioms, spiritual meaning.

[L8Gr8Apost8]

Hey, if you two want to overthink a simple metaphor then count me in.

Water represents people, nations...
Then get to the harbor where you and God are the sea. A place within the Kingdom of God.

This is what I found online, on a Christian page.

Here is the link/the source.

And here is their meaning for the word "ship".

Ship

Ships represent the human journey through life and the passage to eternity after death. At the beginning of life, people leave the safe harbour to cross the sometimes stormy seas (life) in the safety of the ship (faith) and eventually return to the harbour (eternity).

...
English is not my mother language. In my mind, "The ship has left the harbor..." is like "You are safe with God now..."

What do you think? What comes to mind?

Thanks.

It's not a biblical idiom, if it was, it would mean a spiritual crossing either in symbolism showing death or death.
