Let’s examine the approximate 20,000 people Jesus fed in Galilee with 2 fish and 5 loafs. A year later He returned and discovered they as a collective group had not forsaken their sinful ways, despite His miracles, and said the generation of Nehemiah would stand in judgement against them because they repented but ye repent not.
More like the possibility of 6- 8,000 people, nothing near 20,000.
What is amazing too, is that the 2 fish are symbolic for the 2 witnesses (the saintly believers, when 2 or more are gathered in His name), that would come in the gospel age. And 5, the biblical number for grace, that God would later dispense through them after Pentecost, as they gathered up the remaining fragments that they shouldn’t be lost (bringing in yhr sheaves, the gathering of the faithful ecclesia in the gospel age), and placed them into 12 baskets (the number of God’s government) that they should stand in judgement against the wicked at the last day of fiery indignation, when His office of redeemer shall have closed, having put all opposition to His Government under His feet, and so shall be the kingdom delivered back up to God…….be blessed
There's symbolism in the parables, but not in the regular writing.
