Heavenly Symbols of the New Testament in the Divine Oikonomia of Salvation

Summary/Abstract: The Old Testament mystagogy that was perceived within the existence and movement of celestial symbols as integral parts of the overall eventful symbolism of the economy of salvation, are continued in the appropriate Christological analogies in the New Testament, too. The New Testament aspects of gnoseological horizon relate not only to the times of the Lord’s earthly Liturgy, but also to the times in which we live today. Since we are until the end of times holders of the New Testament vision of existence, we should not overlook either of multidimensional, equivocal traditions of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Church traditions include the traditions related to the celestial symbols of existence. More than ever, the totality and accelerated progression of the symbolic celestial and earthly events oblige us to recognise a unique understanding of the divine oikonomia of salvation not only on the “earthly” level, but also on the the movements of celestial symbols of God’s creation.
