Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types
or Psalm 19:4 (c) By this illustration we see the gorgeous beauty and the sovereign power of CHRIST JESUS. As the sun is chief in nature, so CHRIST is chief in all humanity and in all human affairs.
Psalm 84:11 (a) This is typical of GOD as the One who gives light and life, warmth and strength to His people, even as the sun gives to vegetation.
Psalm 121:6 (b) This is a promise that the natural forces of earth will be restrained from injuring the children of GOD who walk in intimate trust with Him.
Jeremiah 15:9 (b) We may understand from this type that the end of life and of opportunity had come before its time. Punishment came because of disobedience.
Malachi 4:2 (a) This beautiful type represents the Lord JESUS when He shall return to this earth in power to heal all human woes, and to remove all curses from the earth.
Matthew 13:6 (b) Probably this type represents trials, difficulties and opposition which keep the Word of GOD from being effective in the heart and mind. Sometimes it represents earth's light from human minds, mental arguments and reasonings which destroy the effective power of the Word of GOD in the soul. (See Mark 4:6).
Revelation 12:1 (b) No doubt this represents Israel, which nation had the light of GOD, the Word of GOD, and produced the Son of GOD who is the Light of the world.
