CHRONICLES OF NARNIA

By John Baker:
 
In the last battle, in the end Aslan says:
That the old Narnia was just the shadow of the glorious new paradise, the new Narnia.
That got me thinking that the world right now is a shadow of the real world, the world that we belong in (But we belong in this world right now). And I think that the new Narnia can be symbolic of the Celestial Kingdom. And when the earth ends I think that the Celestial Kingdom will take the place of its shadow.
 
In the Magicians Nephew Polly asks Aslan if our world is as bad as if our world is as bad as Chaunn (I don’t know how to spell that), then Aslan says: “No. Not yet”. And that would have been a sort of a long time ago and since then the world has grown worse, and it will soon be like Chaunn.
 
In the Voyage of the “Dawn Treader” I think Aslan’s Country can also be symbolic of the Celestial Kingdom, and since Aslan lives there that He is symbolic of Jesus Christ.
 
Here are some discussion questions:
 
1. What do you think the lilies in the Voyage of the “Dawn Treader” are symbolic of?
 
1. What is the wardrobe in the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe symbolic of?
 
1. Who would be the character who wants something and over comes challenges to get it?
