Meal
2Ki 4:41 (c) This meal may be taken to represent CHRIST Himself, or it may be the Word of GOD. Both CHRIST and His Word are able to dispel all poisonous thoughts in the life, and to deliver safely from the evil doctrines and teachings of false religions. Since the meal offering represents the life of CHRIST offered to the Father instead of our own, we are rather inclined to believe that this meal may represent the blessed Person of our Lord JESUS who delivers from all evil doctrines, and every poisonous faith.
