Definition: "Parallels" is a Biblical term used to describe two or more similar things connected or interconnected in relation to one another. It can also refer to objects, events, or ideas that are similar but not identical. The parallel between two concepts refers to how they have similarities without being identical, such as the similarity of water and liquid. Parallels exist in literature and mythology where gods, humans, and creatures share a similar nature through their actions or interactions. In the Bible, the word 'parallels' is used metaphorically to describe the relationship between two or more distinct people, ideas, or situations that are not identical yet have common characteristics.
