Bear (the animal)
Bears represent the power of the literal external stories and ideas of Bible, separate from their deeper meanings. Since they are wild carnivores, this is usually used in a negative way, showing how people can read the Bible, misunderstand it and twist the ideas they find there to justify their evil desires. But it can also be used in a positive way, showing how people can read the Bible with open minds and draw power from it, even without understanding its true depth.
In 2 Kings 2:24, this signifies the literal sense of the Word separate from its internal sense.
In Daniel 7:5, this signifies the second state of the church when the Word is read, but not truly understood. (Apocalypse Revealed 574[2])
