So Parabolically, the scriptures are organized so that the earthly thinkers will take them as stated and the Spiritual will understand the True meaning.
Yes, the true meaning of parables are always spiritual. The Lord just uses the physical medium as a way to explain them to us.
Matthew 13:35 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.”
Here, the Bible mentions that parables are a way to communicate what was hidden since the foundation of the world. However, when God was creating the Earth, physical items mentioned in the parable did not exist yet.
Matthew 9:16-17 discusses the Parable of New Cloth on Old Garment. Yet, in the Garden of Eden, it was only after Adam and Eve sinned that they realized were naked and sought to create clothes. So, at the foundation of the world, no garments existed yet.
Matthew 18:23-35 talks about the Parable of The Unforgiving Servant. Yet, at the foundation of world, there were no human kings and human servants yet, only Adam and then Eve and all their descendants. They came afterwards, but they weren't at the very beginning.
However, certain concepts have always existed since the foundation of the world. For instance, God's plan for Jesus to sacrifice Himself on the cross for humanity's sins, God's foreknowledge of the serpent going to the Garden to tempt Eve and the very concept of Christian Universalism, to save everyone and restore all back to Christ. Ideas have no physical characteristics, they're concepts.
The only one who was there at the very beginning is the Almighty Lord. He had these ideas before creating the world, before the physical realm was created.
