or Genesis 15:11 (c) These are a type of Satan and his angels who are always enemies of any sacrifice for sin, and especially for any types or shadows of Calvary. Satan was defeated at the Cross, and he ever tries to get men's minds to be occupied with every other kind of remedy for sin, except the one remedy of the Blood. In this particular case, Satanic powers wanted to hide from Israel the value of GOD's preserving care, and His rich provision for their needs.
Daniel 7:6 (b) Here is a type of the swiftness with which Alexander's four armies and generals would progress in their campaign to conquer the earth.
Matthew 6:26 (b) The Lord calls our attention to His care for the bird family so that we may realize His care for us. We are more precious than the birds, and all of the children of GOD have His promise that He will preserve and provide for them.
Matthew 13:4 (a) Here is a type of evil spirits who pounce upon the Word of GOD when the sinner hears it in order to take it out of his heart and mind. (See also Mark 4:4; Luke 8:5).
Mark 4:32 (b) These birds represent evil spirits who make their home and perform their activities in religious systems. (See also Matthew 13:19).
Acts 10:12 (b) These birds represent unclean people who were saved by grace, washed in the Blood of the Lamb, and thereby made fit to live in Heaven. The Lord is telling us that when He saves any kind of a wicked person, He makes that person a fit subject for Heaven, the company of angels, and the presence of GOD. (See Acts 11:6).
Revelation 19:21 (b) By this type we understand the destructive and consuming power of the armies who would destroy their enemies.
