<250319> Lamentations 3:19 (c) This may be taken as a prophetic utterance concerning the bitter experiences of the Savior on Calvary.
<300612> Amos 6:12 (a) Strangely enough men's hearts are so wicked that they turn God's blessings into curses. That which God does for their good they renounce and feel bitter at God because of His actions. (See under "PLOW.")
<440823> Acts 8:23 (b) By this word is described the unhappy and wretched condition of this man who was deceived about the Holy Spirit.
<262230> Ezekiel 22:30 (a) Probably it is a type of the gulf between the Lord and His sinning people. Christ Jesus came to fill up this gap and to bring us to God. In those days perhaps it referred also to the lack of a high priest who would be faithful to God, or also to a Godly king who would stand between an angry God and a disobedient people.
<180816> Job 8:16 (a) By this term Bildad describes the beautiful life filled with radiance and fragrance of that one who walks with God, and lives for His glory.

<220412> Song of Solomon 4:12 (c)We may take the expression as a picture of the Church in which God's people are the flowers, and their worship is the fragrance. (See also <220501>Song of Solomon 5:1; 6:2; 11.)
<230108> Isaiah 1:8 (a) Here is a type which describes the woeful conditions of the nation of Israel which should have been filled with useful and beautiful fruit, but instead produced only a strange, worthless, useless fruit of the cucumber vine.
The cucumber was one of the articles of food that Israel had to eat in Egypt when they were slaves. It is not a stable fruit as apples, but soon decays, and even while it is in good form it is of little use for sustaining life. This is like the pleasures which the world offers. Sports exhilarate for a few moments, but leave no permanent value in the lives of those who see them. The pleasures which God offers are for evermore. (See also <230129>Isaiah 1:29-30.)
<235103> Isaiah 51:3 (a) Here we find that the Lord gives His definite promise that the nation of Israel which now is of so little use to God will one day be a fruitful nation blessing the earth, and bringing joy to the heart of God.
<235811> Isaiah 58:11 (a) Here we see a beautiful type of the happy condition of the soul of that one who walks with the Lord, learns from His Word, and rejoices in the presence and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
<236617> Isaiah 66:17 (b) Probably this type refers to the lives of those who live in wealth with plenty for their bodies to enjoy, while their souls are in rebellion against God.
<243112> Jeremiah 31:12 (a)By this type the Lord is describing to us the blessing that will rest upon the nation of Israel in the millennium when they have turned back to God, and He has removed all cause for the grief and sorrow.
<250206> Lamentations 2:6 (b) In this way the Lord is referring to the transient character of Israel. He is telling us that He will remove the nation as the small shelterhouse in a garden is easily removed and destroyed.
<421319> Luke 13:19 (b) Here is a picture of the fair earth in which foul religions develop. It is also a picture of the nation of Israel in which false beliefs and practices arose and flourished.
<431941> John 19:41 (c) Joseph of Arimathea, a rich man, had a garden in which Calvary was located. It was not a bare hill as we often sing. No garden is a

His vines would produce so abundantly that he could use the wine for every purpose; figuratively he could use it for laundry purposes. This is just a picture of the great abundance which God would give to this wonderful man.
<196911> Psalm 69:11 (c) These are the prophetic words of our Lord in which He stated that from head to foot He was covered with grief and sorrow because of our sin and iniquity.
<197306> Psalm 73:6 (c)This refers to the fact that evil and hostile actions against the things of God completely envelop the one who does them, as a robe covers the entire body.
<19A226> Psalm 102:26 (a) By this type our Lord is describing the eventual destruction of this physical earth, as well as the heavens. He will discard them, He will destroy them, and will not try to mend them. (See also
<580111> Hebrews 1:11; <230509>Isaiah 5:9; 51:6, 8.)
<19A402> Psalm 104:2 (a) By this picture we see the complete envelopment of the Lord in light effulgent. The Savior was covered with this light on the Mount of Transfiguration.
<19A918> Psalm 109:18 (a) This is a description of Judas Iscariot. The cursing was not with oaths but rather it was his curse upon Christ, wherein he consigned the Lord Jesus to the wrath of His enemies, and wished for His destruction. He did it with his whole person. From his feet which carried him to the garden to the lips which kissed the Savior, his whole person was involved in his wicked action.

<203004> Proverbs 30:4 (a)This type represents the boundaries of the ocean or the lakes or the rivers whereby God controls the extent of their influence and their power.
<210908> Ecclesiastes 9:8 (c) This word typifies the religious profession and confession which are made by Christians before the world. They are to live lives that are unspotted, unstained and unreproachable.
<235906> Isaiah 59:6 (a) The Lord uses this term in regard to the efforts made by men to weave their own garments to cover their own nakedness. All men's efforts to protect themselves from the gaze of God's righteousness will be unavailing. All such man-made righteousnesses are of no avail.
<235917> Isaiah 59:17 (a)This figure represents the anger of God against a disobedient people. His whole being is aroused to take vengeance on those who know not God, and obey not His gospel.
<236103> Isaiah 61:3 (a) In this beautiful way the Lord describes the radiance, the happiness and the sweetness that fills the heart and the life of the child of God who loves the things of God, and lives for the glory of God.
<236110> Isaiah 61:10 (a) That eternal life which God gives to us whereby He makes us His child is a complete covering for the Christian. All of his own natural person is covered by the Lord Jesus Christ so that we are found "in Him" not having our own righteousness, but the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ. We read that this righteousness "is for all, and upon all them that believe." In this way it is compared to a garment.
<261618> Ezekiel 16:18 (a)This word undoubtedly refers to the grandeur, the glory, and the beauty that God gave to the nation of Israel when they flourished so wonderfully under previous leaders. They took these riches and gave them to
their enemies as they joined up with their neighbors in their wicked practices.
<380303> Zechariah 3:3 (a) We think that Joshua in this verse is a type of the nation of Israel and that the garments are a type of the wicked ways, actions and deeds of these people. He stood before the Lord of heaven who took pity upon him, removed the filthy garments and gave him heavenly robes. This is probably a picture of the redemption of Israel when God again works on and in this great people to make them a holy and righteous people when they accept the Messiah.

<400916> Matthew 9:16 (b) This represents the old nature of the unsaved man. The Lord does not patch the old nature and try to make it better. He gives a new nature that needs no patching.
<402211> Matthew 22:11 (b) The type in this Scripture represents the covering of imputed righteousness which the King of heaven, God the Father, gives to every one who trusts His Son, the Lord Jesus. This man would not have God's robe. He came into the presence of the King wearing his own robe, which is a figure of human, self-made righteousness. The King rejected him because of his refusal to lay aside his own self-made righteousness and receive the righteousness which is God's gift. (See also <450517>Romans 5:17; 10:2-3.)
<590502> James 5:2 (b) The type in this Scripture refers to the evanescent and transient character of the position and power which riches give in this life. These rapidly disintegrate as the trials of this earth and the disappointments of life eat them away.
Jude 23 (b) This garment refers to the righteousness which must be worn in the presence of God. It must be entirely from heaven, and not be tainted in any way by human works, merits, or activities.
<660304> Revelation 3:4 (a)This is a type of the profession, confession and public life of certain Christians in Sardis. They kept themselves clean, upright, honest and undefiled in their daily lives. (See also <661615>Revelation 16:15.)
<401244> Matthew 12:44 (b) This type describes the professing Christian who "goes forward;' joins the church, but who does not know the Savior personally. He gets rid of the evil things in his life and takes on some of the lovely things of the church. He becomes an usher or he sings in the choir. He participates in the activities and gives of his money. As he puts on all these things, the Savior calls it garnish. The evil spirit comes back to such a man because he is empty--Christ has not entered; the Holy Spirit has not come into his life. (See also <421125>Luke 11:25.)
<402329> Matthew 23:29 (b) This is a description of the flowery words used by the Pharisees to describe the virtues of the dead prophets while they themselves rejected the teachings of those same prophets.
