Psa 46:4 (b) This is a picture of the spiritual ministry placed at the disposal of the people of GOD as they journey through this desert world.
Psa 78:16 (b) By this picture we understand the rich blessings for the people of GOD that flow from the Lord JESUS as the author of eternal life.
Psa 126:4 (c) Probably this may be considered a type of the flowing waters of the warmer countries which produce such wonderful vegetation, fruits and flowers, in those desert places where the ground is dependent upon the streams, rather than upon the rains.
Son 4:15 (c) Here we see a type of the rich and refreshing influence of the church of GOD. The streams from the mountain of Lebanon are cold, clear and life giving. This should characterize the ministry of GOD’s people as they serve together in the church.
Isa 30:28 (b) The flow of GOD’s judgment is described in this way, for no power can stop it, and it cannot be hindered nor changed.
Isa 33:21 (a) By this type we understand the great flow of the blessings of GOD in which He alone is responsible to carry us along in His everlasting arms, and to provide for every need of our bodies and souls. The ships that are mentioned refer to the fact that GOD’s blessings are not based either on our work (the galley with oars), nor on our fighting ability (the gallant ship).
Isa 94:9 (b) The Lord is telling us that He will destroy the sources of blessing and dry up the waters of pleasure and profit so that life will become wretched and miserable instead of sweet and pleasant.
Isa 35:6 (b) The blessings of GOD flow into the lives of GOD’s people who walk and talk with Him in sweet fellowship, even though they are going through times of barrenness, sorrow and disappointment.
Isa 66:12 (a) It seems to be GOD’s plan that the wealth of the Gentiles will be brought to His people Israel in great quantities, and in great abundance. We find this same thought in other Scriptures. GOD’s people are to be the head of the nations, and all nations will borrow from her, and she shall lend to all peoples.
Dan 7:10 (b) This type represents the great outpouring of GOD’s wrath against His enemies in the day when He sets up His throne to judge and to rule the world.
Amo 5:24 (b) This is typical of the abundance and the irresistible power of the righteous judgments of GOD at the time when men are brought before Him to settle for their deeds. It is typical also of the righteous judgment of GOD upon Israel for their sins. It is represented as a stream because of its abundance, its permanence, and its continual operation.
Luk 6:48 (b) Here we see a symbol of the powerful and multitudinous troubles that are released in men’s lives, and which would overwhelm them if they were not anchored to the Rock of ages.
