BARBEL

A barbel fish hiding in muddy water, barely visible beneath the surface — A person who never truly repented and remains hidden in sin, unwilling to surface or change their ways

A barbel dwelling deep in murky riverbed, constantly burrowing deeper into sediment — Someone who is not a true child of God, continuously involved in sin and spiritual darkness

A barbel fish camouflaged in mud, obscured from light and view — A false believer whose true nature remains concealed, lacking genuine spiritual transformation

Multiple barbels lurking in the depths of a murky river, never rising to the surface — People trapped in habitual sin, refusing to emerge from their spiritual bondage or acknowledge their need for salvation

Dreaming of a barbel as a freshwater fish that behaves like a sea creature — This represents the hidden spirit of man - someone who appears to belong to fresh, clean waters (the community of faith) but whose true nature relates to the mysterious depths of the sea, symbolizing the concealed spiritual condition and inner darkness of the unregenerate heart
