Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types
or Isaiah 66:3 (b) This type describes the terrible depravity of a man wherein he lives in his filthy sins, and yet offers a sacrifice to GOD as though he were a godly man.
Matthew 7:6 (b) The ungodly person who wallows in his wickedness is described by this filthy animal. We are not to present the precious truths of GOD, and His sweet promises to such a vile person. He would not understand, nor appreciate, those messages in which the Christians delight.
Luke 15:15 (b) This wandering boy was mingling with the people of the world who lived in sin, lust and rebellion. Unsaved people are looked upon by GOD as being in their sins, unrighteous, unholy and stained with evil and wickedness. The Christian has no business seeking to find his satisfaction among them.
