Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types
or John 12:32 (a) This word is used throughout the Scripture to indicate an unseen power which pulls men by an irresistible force either to do good or to do evil. (See Song of Solomon 1:4). The context will always indicate whether the power is from GOD, or from some evil source. In some cases, it refers to an actual physical act, as in2Ch 5:9. This should be contrasted with Exodus 25:15 where Israel was instructed not to draw out the staves from the ark. In the time of Exodus, the ark was in transit, Israel was traveling from place to place, and this may represent the vacillating life of most Christians. In2Chronicles, however, the ark was in its final resting place in the temple of GOD, and it was to be carried about no more. This may be taken to represent the position of consecration in which the believer hands himself, his body, soul and spirit over to the Holy Spirit to wander no more, but to walk only with GOD.
