Ezechiël 36:5

Studie

       

5 Daarom, zo zegt de Heere Heere: Zo Ik niet in het vuur Mijns ijvers gesproken heb tegen het overblijfsel der heidenen, en tegen het ganse Edom; die Mijn land zichzelven ten erve gegeven hebben met blijdschap des gansen harten, met begerige plundering, opdat de landerij daarvan ten rove zou zijn!

Cattle

  
Cattle in a pasture.

Animals in the Bible generally refer to spiritual activity, the things we actually do on a spiritual level. "Cattle," as typically used in the Bible, mean a collection of domesticated animals owned by one person or group (including other animals along with cows). It makes sense, then, that cattle would represent the spiritual activities we "own" and have "domesticated."

What are the good things we like to see in ourselves and encourage? What true ideas do we keep in mind, ponder, and use in our decision-making? These can come in great varieties and from many different sources, just as a variety of animals could be part of "cattle," but the key is that we own them, care for them and use them.
