or Numbers 19:2 (c) By this type we understand the spotless character of our Lord JESUS CHRIST on whom there was no sin nor fault, and in Him no evil of any kind. (See also Numbers 28:3; Numbers 29:17; 1 Peter 1:19).
Deuteronomy 32:5 (b) The Lord brands His people as the Shepherd brands the sheep. In this case those mentioned do not bear the mark of GOD's ownership. Probably the mark was that of a godly life, holy ambitions, and obedience to the Word of GOD. (See also Revelation 3:12).
Song of Solomon 4:7 (c) This may be taken as a statement by the Lord concerning His church, or His bride, for He sees no fault nor sin in His people who are washed in the Blood of the Lamb. Or, it may be taken as the Word of the bride concerning the Bridegroom, for certainly He is absolutely perfect, beautiful, sinless and stainless. Both things are true.
Ephesians 5:27 (b) Here we see a beautiful type of the perfection of GOD's church, each member of which has been cleansed in the Blood of the Saviour, made pure and white in GOD's sight.
1 Timothy 6:14 (c) Probably the type in this case represents a perfect obedience, in which there is no hypocrisy, and no compulsion. It is an obedience based on the love of GOD, and from a grateful heart.
Hebrews 9:14 (a) By this figure we understand that the Lord JESUS offered Himself to GOD, with no sin connected with His offering, no pride, no selfishness, no ulterior motives, no evil of any kind. He was a perfect offering in every sense of the word, and therefore was acceptable to GOD.
2 Peter 3:14 (a) It is the will of GOD that the Christian should live a clean, true, pure upright life, with no blemishes that would disfigure his life and cause the people to point to him with scorn. The Christian is to be a good example of a blameless believer.
Judges 1:12 (b) The presence of an ungodly man among the people of GOD blots and blurs, hinders and harms the fellowship of GOD's saints.
Judges 1:23 (b) This probably refers to any so-called righteousness or plan of salvation, which is contaminated by the works of the flesh, or by depending upon merit in the sight of GOD.
