Honey
Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types
or Exodus 3:8 (b) Honey and milk are the products of life. The one comes from the living bee, the other from the living cow. The land of Canaan represents that place in the Christian's life wherein by utter consecration he begins to receive his richest blessings from the living Lord on the throne. (See Deuteronomy 8:8).
Deuteronomy 32:13 (a) The rock represents the Lord JESUS, and the honey represents the sweetness, the loveliness and all those precious graces which one receives from CHRIST by faith.
Leviticus 2:11 (c) Here honey represents natural human sweetness. In the sacrifices to the Lord, nothing is acceptable to GOD except the virtues of CHRIST. All the natural graces which we admire in one another are to be completely omitted from everything that pertains to sacrifice for sins or for merit before the Lord. Honey is a type of all that is good and best in the human heart and which some desire to offer as a sacrifice for sin.
Judges 14:9 (c) The lion represents the Lord JESUS and the honey represents the lovely and delightful sweetness which the believer enjoys as he comes and takes out of CHRIST's heart and life the blessings which are so freely given.
Job 20:17 (b) This evidently refers to an abundance of comforts, the luxuries of life, things over and above the natural blessings.
Psalm 19:10 (b) The Word of GOD is to the soul what honey is to the body. The Scriptures are frequently referred to as honey and the honeycomb. (See Psalm 119:103; Ezekiel 3:3; Revelation 10:9).
