Foreword
This is the compilation of Wilson's Bible Types and King James. It contains 1,046 definitions and 178,732 cross-references. The reason for the high number of cross-references is that each word within a given definition is further linked to its own definition in Wilson Bible Types, if such a definition exists. We have also included the King James Bible and linked the Bible references from the dictionary. And we have referenced the use of the definitions in the Bible back into the dictionary.
How to study types: Lesson one
The student should first decide whether the word under consideration is used by the Spirit as a type. Not all objects are types. Care should be used in arriving at a conclusion on this matter lest one distort the Word of GOD and thus arrive at decisions which were never intended by the Lord.
A safe rule is to ascertain whether an object is said plainly to be a type. When Paul wrote in 1Co 10:4, "They drank of that spiritual rock... and that rock was Christ," we knowthat the rock in the wilderness was a true type of CHRIST.
When we read of the good and bad fish in Mt 13:47, we know that these fish are typesthough the passage does not say so. The story is a parable intended to teach a lesson. It is needfultherefore to learn just what they do represent and also what the net represents.When we read of the "Red Sea" or "the Jordan," we know this to be a type just because it teachesso many very interesting and profitable lessons.But even though we decide that an object is a type there still remains the problem of learningwhat it represents. Here great care is needed. Let us ask, "What constitutes a type?" Let us seekan answer by a series of comparisons:
There is likeness of appearance as "clouds" and "dust." (
Na 1:3
)
There is likeness of action as "the leopard" and "Alexander the Great." (
Dn 7:6
)
There is likeness of effect as "rain and snow" and "the Word of GOD." (
Is 55:10
)
There is likeness of relationship as "nurse" and "Paul." (
1Th 2:7
)
There is likeness of value as "gold" and "the Lord JESUS." (
Is 13:12
)
There is likeness of position as "head" and "Israel." (
De 28:13
)
There is likeness of character as "the spider" and "the sinner." (
Pr 30:23
)
How to study types: Lesson Two
Certain principles and processes are essential in the study of Typology. It is Scriptural to studythis subject for the writers of the Scripture and our Lord Himself used types constantly forteaching great lessons. As a good knife is of most value in the hands of a skillful surgeon, so theWord of GOD is most effective when used by those who best understand its hidden meaning.The study of types is illuminating, for the Spirit uses the things which are seen, to teach usconcerning the things which are unseen. The study of types equips us with a handy means andmethod of presenting the truth of GOD, for types are about us on every hand ready to be used.Some suggestions for the study of types:
Think of the opposite of that which is under consideration;
As the golden city (
Re 21:18
) and the gilded city (
Re 18:16
);
The lion (
Re 5:5
) and the lamb (
Re 5:6
);
The woman clothed in red (
Re 17:4
) and the woman clothed in white (
Re 19:8
).
Think of comparisons:
Great Goliath and little David;
Joseph of the Old Testament and JESUS;
The river in
Eze 47
and the river in
Jn 7
Look up the several occurrences of the type to ascertain how it is used. Learn whether this type is referred to anywhere else in the Scripture as a type. Consider the characteristics of the type being studied as the sea with its greatness, its depth, its restlessness, its size, its waves, its commerce. Think of the lessons which may be learned from the type as the leaves in Is 64:6,
How they fade
How they reveal the kind of tree
How they show whether young or old
How they fall from the tree or hold on
By considering these various thoughts, the student will be enabled to quickly and easily learnlessons from the subject under consideration. If questions should arise in regard to any of the suggestions given, the reader may feel free to address an inquiry to the author. Such communications will receive prompt attention.
How to study types: Lesson three
Quite often an object is used as the same type or a type of the same thing by several writers. This repetition confirms the object as a type and assures us of his true meaning.
Moses uses the rock as a type of CHRIST in
Nu 20:8
David uses the rock as a type of CHRIST in
Ps 18:2
Isaiah does the same thing in
Is 32:2
The Lord Jesus also refers to Himself as the Rock upon which the church is built in
Mt 16:18
Balaam used trees to represent the nation of Israel,
Nu 24:6
David used a tree to represent a godly man in
Ps 1
Jeremiah follows the same plan in
Je 17:8
Daniel used a tree to represent the king in
Dn 4:10
. He received this message from GOD
Isaiah used the same type for the eunuch in
Is 56:3
Jesus used the tree as a type of the people of Israel in
Lk 13:6
It is well also to note that an object cannot be a type of certain things.I heard a preacher use "Joseph's coat of many colors" as a type of the doctrine of sinlessperfection. It was a very grotesque comparison, utterly without foundation or truth. Leaven is often used as a type of the Gospel which, of course, it could not be. The contexts concerning leaven all through both the Old Testament and the New indicate clearly that it is atype of some evil which should be removed. It will be most helpful for the student to ask himselfcertain questions in regard to the study of types and this will guide him in his investigation.How is this object or subject first used in the Scripture? What meaning does it have in the first place where it occurs? To what does this object or subject refer in the last passage where it occurs in the Scripture? What are the characteristics of this object or subject which make it a suitable type? CHRIST is compared to a lion in Re 5. In Is 53, CHRIST is compared to a lamb. As the characteristics of these two animals are studied, then the likeness will be more clearly understood. This plan should be followed in each case. Types should be grouped according to that which they represent. There are types of CHRIST, Israel, the nations, the Christian, the hypocrites, the worker, the state of the soul, Satan, and many others. Types may also be grouped according to their character. There are types taken from the mineral kingdom, the animal kingdom, the vegetable kingdom, the celestial kingdom, the human family, human actions, human attitudes, postures, etc. It will help the student to understand types more fully if these groupings are made while the study is being pursued.
This publication contains 1046 entries and can be classified as a required reference book for any good study library.

About The King James Bible
The King James Bible is often referred to as the King James Version (KJV). There are slightly different versions of the King James Bible and in this e-book we use the King James Pure Cambridge Version which we call KJB for short. The following information is an excerpt from Wikipedia:
King James Version - General History: The King James Version (KJV), also known as the Authorized Version (AV) or King James Bible (KJB), is an English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England begun in 1604 and completed in 1611. In 1612, the first King James Version using Roman Type was issued. This quarto version is only second to the 1611 folio KJV. First printed by the King's Printer Robert Barker, this was the third translation into English to be approved by the English Church authorities. The first was the Great Bible commissioned in the reign of King Henry VIII (1535), and the second was the Bishops' Bible of 1568. In January 1604, James I convened the Hampton Court Conference where a new English version was conceived in response to the perceived problems of the earlier translations as detected by the Puritans, a faction within the Church of England.
James gave the translators instructions intended to guarantee that the new version would conform to the ecclesiology and reflect the episcopal structure of the Church of England and its belief in an ordained clergy. The translation was done by 47 scholars, all of whom were members of the Church of England. In common with most other translations of the period, the New Testament was translated from Greek, the Old Testament was translated from Hebrew and Aramaic text, while the Apocrypha was translated from the Greek and Latin. In the Book of Common Prayer (1662), the text of the Authorized Version replaced the text of the Great Bible – for Epistle and Gospel readings (but not for the Psalter which has retained substantially Coverdale's Great Bible version) and as such was authorized by Act of Parliament. By the first half of the 18th century, the Authorized Version had become effectively unchallenged as the English translation used in Anglican and Protestant churches, other than for the Psalms and some short passages in the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England. Over the course of the 18th century, the Authorized Version supplanted the Latin Vulgate as the standard version of scripture for English-speaking scholars. With the development of stereotype printing at the beginning of the 19th century, this version of the Bible became the most widely printed book in history, almost all such printings presenting the standard text of 1769 extensively re-edited by Benjamin Blayney at Oxford; and nearly always omitting the books of the Apocrypha. Today the unqualified title 'King James Bible' commonly identifies this Oxford standard text.

Aaron -
Wilson's
Heb 5:4
(c) Aaron is a type of CHRIST
i
in many ways. - As he entered into the Holy of Holies once a year with the blood
i
of an animal, so our Lord
i
JESUS entered into Heaven
i
by His own blood
i
, not just once a year, but forever. - Aaron bore the names of the twelve
i
tribes on his shoulders, so the Lord
i
JESUS carries His people and their burdens on His shoulders. - Aaron bore the breastplate
i
of twelve
i
stones over his heart
i
, and our Saviour bears His own children on His heart
i
. - Aaron wore a gold band on his forehead
i
bearing the inscription "Holiness to the Lord
i
." So our Lord
i
JESUS was holy, pure and perfect
i
in all His ways, words and character. - Aaron pleaded with GOD for the people, and pleaded with the people for GOD. So our Lord
i
JESUS "ever liveth to make intercession for us," and appears in GOD's presence for us. He also reveals GOD to us. - Aaron was chosen by GOD to be the High
i
Priest
i
, and GOD chose CHRIST
i
to be our High
i
Priest
i
. - Aaron's garments were prescribed by GOD and were called holy garments. So the garment
i
of our Lord
i
JESUS is called "the robe
i
of righteousness, the garments of salvation,"
Is 61:10
.

Abraham -
Wilson's
Ge 24:2
(c) In this passage Abraham is a type of the Father who sent His servant (the Spirit) to obtain a bride (Rebecca) for his son Isaac
i
. The servant represents the Holy Spirit, and Isaac
i
represents the Lord
i
JESUS CHRIST
i
. Of course, Abraham represents GOD the Father. Rebecca. represents the Church
i
. The Holy Spirit knocks at the heart's
i
door
i
, tells of the loveliness, the riches and the glory of the Son of GOD, and thus wins the stranger and makes him willing to leave his old haunts and companions to live for and with JESUS CHRIST
i
, the Son.
Rm 4:3
(c) He is a type of the true believer from the standpoint of "faith." - He was called out of idolatry by GOD, and so are we. - He took the path
i
of separation, and so should we. - He obeyed GOD, and walked in a path
i
of obedience, as we should do. - He believed GOD about the "seed
i
" (CHRIST
i
), so do we. - He was made righteous through believing in CHRIST
i
. So are we. GOD revealed His secrets to Abraham, the man
i
of faith, and so He does today to those who believe His Word
i
. Abraham was the father of the faithful, and we too who believe GOD should have spiritual children who have faith as we have.

Abel -
Wilson's
Ge 4:4
(c) He is a type of the true believer in regard to salvation. He felt his guilt, he realized his insufficiency to pay the price. He obtained an innocent lamb
i
. He offered this lamb
i
as a sacrifice
i
, killing it and burning it upon the altar
i
whereby he proved his faith in the animal who died for him, and shed his blood
i
for him. This is the path
i
the true believer takes today. As a sinner he feels his need as Abel did. He goes to the innocent and holy Lamb
i
of GOD, JESUS CHRIST
i
, by faith. He kneels a suppliant for mercy at Calvary, where the blood
i
was shed. He believes the Word
i
of GOD that the "blood
i
of Jesus Christ
i
, His Son, c1eanseth us from all sin,"
1Jo 1:7
. He trusts his soul
i
and life to the living Lamb
i
on the Throne
i
of GOD who makes the death
i
of Calvary and the shed blood
i
effective for the one
i
who believes.

Absalom -
Wilson's
2S 14:25
(c) This son of David
i
may be taken as a type of a human being without GOD. - He had developed his body
i
to perfection
i
. Those who observed him could see nothing but physical beauty. From head
i
to foot
i
there was no blemish
i
in him. With all of this, however, his heart
i
was wicked. - He hated his father David
i
who was GOD's chosen king
i
. - He refused and rejected GOD's plan and purpose in regard to Solomon. - He was fit for neither Heaven
i
nor earth
i
, and so he died between the two
i
of them on the tree
i
. So is the religious hypocrite of today. He presents many aspects of beauty and characteristics of loveliness, yet his heart
i
is not right with GOD.
2S 15:2
(c) In this passage Absalom is a type of the ingratitude and infidelity of professing Christians who are not really saved. When the test came he proved to be an enemy of GOD's king
i
, and of GOD's program. He did not take his place on GOD's side
i
. He wanted to assert his own sufficiency and his own supremacy.

Accursed -
Wilson's
De 21:23
(c) This word
i
represents GOD's wrath against the sinner. It is manifest in many ways throughout the Scriptures. - Sometimes it is a nation
i
that is accursed. - Sometimes it is an individual. - Sometimes it is that which the world would call a "blessing," for the Lord
i
said, "I will curse your blessings,"
Ml 2:2
. This passage may refer to the so-called "blessings" given by great ecclesiastical leaders which frequently are cursed by GOD. 16
Jos 6:18
(c) In this passage all that was in the city
i
of Jericho
i
belonged to GOD. Not a bit of it was to be taken by any man
i
. The word
i
is used here to indicate that what is GOD's property becomes an accursed thing to the one
i
who takes it unlawfully and wrongfully.

Achan -
Wilson's
Jos 7:1
(c) This man
i
is used as a type of a selfish, wicked, religious professor. He rejected GOD's word
i
about the property of Jericho
i
which belonged to GOD, and took some of it to enrich himself. The ungodly
i
who join the church
i
, partake of the Lord's
i
supper
i
, and teach the Bible which they do not believe are like Achan.
Jos 7:25
(c) Achan may be taken in this place as a type of a trouble maker who, because of his sinful, hypocritical practices in the church
i
, causes trouble there. Because of his actions the church
i
is in a turmoil and even perhaps may be divided because of him. Such a person is to he expelled from the church
i
as in
1Co 5

Achor -
Wilson's
Jos 7:24
(c) This valley
i
represents a place of sorrow and trouble in human lives. As Achan
i
was stoned there, and his sin put away, so in our lives times of trouble and sorrow may be called "the place of Achor." There GOD's remedy is to be applied to the difficulty.
Ho 2:15
(c) The valley
i
in this passage is described as a door
i
of hope. When sin is judged and put away, then hope for GOD's blessing is revived, and joy
i
replaces sorrow.

Adam -
Wilson's
Ge 5:2
(c) This man
i
is a type of CHRIST
i
in that he was the head
i
of the human family
i
, and CHRIST
i
is the head
i
of GOD's family
i
. Adam was sinless in the first part of his life, and then deliberately and knowingly became a partner in Eve's
i
sin in order that he might be with her, partake of her punishment, and continue to have her for his very own. So our Lord
i
JESUS was sinless and perfect
i
. - He willingly and knowingly took upon Himself the form of a servant, - and was made sin for us that He might forever have us with Him. (See
1Tm 2:14
). As by the sin of Adam all who are in Adam were made sinners, so by the obedience of CHRIST
i
all who are in CHRIST
i
are made righteous (
Rm 5:18
).
Rm 5:19
(b) Adam was the first of the earthly
i
family
i

i
is the first of the heavenly family
i
. Our bodies are in the likeness of Adam, and in the new creation we shall be like CHRIST
i
, the last Adam.

2Pe 1:5
(b) This figure describes the growth in grace of the Christian who learns to know the ways of GOD as described in this passage. When any person is born

again, then he changes his ways, his practices and his thoughts so that there may be in his life the graces given by the Spirit, and the knowledge of heavenly things that GOD desires to give to each of His children.

Adder -
Wilson's
Ps 58:4
(b) This serpent
i
is used to describe a wicked person who injures the souls and damages the lives of' others by that which comes out of his mouth
i
. That which such a person says poisons the hearts and the minds of those who hear
i
. By this means the listeners are deceived by Satan and are led astray
i
from GOD's path
i

Ps 91:13

enemy and the secret foe).

Tit 2:10
(b) As jewels make a person more attractive, and as pictures make a room
i
more beautiful, and as color
i
schemes add
i
to the delightful beauty of the room
i
, so the Christian graces in the believer's life are an ornament of beauty to those who observe them. These attributes from Heaven
i
make a person more attractive, and the Christian life more desirable. These "adorn" the believer.

Adullam -

1S 22:1
(c) This cave
i
is a picture
i
of the refuge
i
in the time
i
of storm
i
which GOD gives to His people. It is "the secret place of the Most High
i
." It is the "shadow of a great rock
i
in a weary land." It is the quiet secret place of prayer. Those who were in distress, despondent and in debt came there to David
i
for relief. So we may go to our "cave
i
of Adullam," into the presence of our wonderful Lord
i
to find rest and relief from the troubles, cares, problems and griefs of life.
Mic 1:15

i
in that secret place, and under the wings of the Almighty

Adultery -
Wilson's
Jm 4:4
(b) This word
i
in this passage carries a spiritual significance. As those who are married may turn against each other secretly to find another companion, so one
i
who is married to CHRIST
i
and takes the place of being a Christian may turn against the Saviour and become a lover of the world and the things of Satan. 18 This is called spiritual adultery. This person professes to be a Christian, takes the place of belonging to CHRIST
i
, but finds his real enjoyment, his love and his pleasure in the things that Satan offers.

Adversary -
Wilson's
Mt 5:25
(b) The adversary in this portion evidently refers to GOD who sends His porter
i
, death
i
, to take men from this scene to the Judge, the Lord
i
JESUS. Being found guilty, the Lord
i
JESUS hands this wicked sinner over to one
i
of His angels who is the officer. The angel
i
takes the lost
i
sinner to hell, which is GOD's prison
i
house
i
. Since the prisoner can never pay the debt he must remain there forever.
1Tm 5:14
(b) The adversary in this passage refers to critics of GOD's people who in their opposition to CHRIST
i
are quick
i
to find fault with GOD's people, and to call attention to the failures of Christians.

Adversity -
Wilson's
Is 30:20
(b) This expression represents the sorrows on which GOD's people will feed when they turn their backs on their Lord
i
and become disobedient. They will feed on their difficulties and pains. They will meditate on them, talk about them, and grieve over them as though they were something to be treasured and sought after. This thought will be further developed under the word

"ASHES

Advocate -
Wilson's
1Jo 2:1
(a) This title is applied to CHRIST
i
in His office of pleading for us before GOD. He pleads for GOD's people in the presence of GOD when Satan accuses them before GOD. He shows His wounded hands and feet
i
as He defends His people before the Judge of all the earth
i
. He shows by the wounds that He paid the debt for the believer whom He represents. AGAG
1S 15:9
(c) This King
i
of Amalek
i
is a type of some wicked habit or evil way
i
which is promoted and cultivated in the life of one
i
who knows better. Haman was a descendant of the Agag family
i
, and caused Israel
i
great trouble in the time
i
of Queen
i
Esther. Saul should have killed Agag. In that he spared his life, he is a picture
i
of the believer who spares things in his life that are hurtful to his own soul
i

Agrippa -

Ac 26:28
(c) This man

Aha -

(b) This little word

Alabaster box -

Mt 26:7
(c) This may be taken as a type of man's
i
best graces, efforts and talents which he had saved heretofore for himself, but now in consecration he brings to JESUS' feet
i
. Some have thought that this alabaster box
i
was the girl's hope chest of the olden days. It was filled with sweet perfume
i
of various values and sealed shut. It is said that there were several grades, cheap china, medium and 20 expensive china. When a girl approached the marriageable age, she obtained a box
i
according to her ability to pay and her station in life. She saved it until she found the man
i
to whom she was willing to give her life, and with whom she desired to live. When her lover requested her hand
i
and heart
i
in marriage
i
, then the girl, if she desired to answer in the affirmative, obtained the box
i
from its hiding place and broke it at his feet
i
. This was her declaration that her quest for a lover was ended. I cannot vouch for the truth of this statement, but it seems to fit nicely in each passage where this box
i
was mentioned. (See
Mk 14:3

Lk 7:37

Alive -
Wilson's
Lk 15:24
,32 (b) The word
i
as used here indicates that the life of this wayward, prodigal was again what it should be. While he was in the far country
i
living for himself and completely out of touch with his father, his condition was described as being "dead
i
." There was no communion with his father, no contact with his home, no fellowship with his brother
i
. He was still the child
i
of his father. The relationship was not broken
i
, but only the fellowship. When he ceased the life of disobedience and came back
i
to his father, then his condition is described as being "alive." Now his life was as it once was, and as it should be.
Rm 6:11
(a) Here the word
i
"alive" refers to the presence of the new eternal life in the soul
i
which is given to any person when he trusts JESUS CHRIST
i
. It is the presence of this new nature that enables the believer to live for GOD and to understand the things of GOD.
1Co 15:22
(a) The resurrection is in view in this passage. All who belong to Adam
i
are dead
i
in trespasses and sins. When these have CHRIST
i
revealed to their souls by the Holy Spirit through the Word
i
of GOD they are said to be made "alive" because they belong to CHRIST

Ge 17:1
(a) This is the first mention of the wonderful title of GOD. By this name

His power to supply every need of man

i
"Almighty."
Ex 6:3
(a) The title in this verse refers to the power of GOD to deliver Israel
i
from their oppressors. He is Lord
i
over every other lord
i
and is able to deliver His own people from every form of oppression. 21
Ps 91:1
(a) Here this title is used to describe GOD's power and ability to protect and preserve His children through all the vicissitudes, troubles, sorrows and problems of life.
2Co 6:18
(a) This title describes the GOD who is able to supply every temporal need of His own people who refuse the provision of this world, and refuse to accept deliverance or provision from the children of Satan. Those who sever themselves from a place of dependence from the world and reject Satan's schemes, find that GOD is able to furnish them with all their necessities.
Re 1:8
(a) In this passage the Lord
i
JESUS is given the title because of His sovereign ability to begin everything, and to make everything, to sustain everything, and to bring everything to an end

Almond -

Ex 25:33
(c) The almond on the golden candlestick
i
in the tabernacle
i
is a type of the fruitfulness which will characterize that one
i
who sheds abroad the light
i
of life in his life. Each one
i
who dwells in the holy place, holds forth the Word
i
of Life, and brings light
i
to those who sit in darkness, will be a fruit-bearing Christian. This almond is connected with the flower which indicates the beauty of that life and also with the knop
i
which represents the fullness of the Christian life.
Nu 17:8
(c) Only Aaron's
i
rod yielded almonds. Israel
i
was to learn from this miracle that the family
i
of Aaron
i
was to be the fruit-bearing family
i
in the service of the GOD of Israel
i
. The other families were to have no part in the priestly ministry. He only, as a type of CHRIST
i
, was to be known as the fruit-bearing priest
i
of GOD. All others would be as intruders and thereby rejected. (See under "FLOWER" and "KNOP
i
.")
Ec 12:5
(b) In this place the word

i
with them bitter memories of former injustices and feel a spirit of hatred toward others.

Alms -
Wilson's
Mt 6:1
(b) The word
i
is used in a general sense here. It represents good deeds done for the blessing and benefit of others, regardless of who they were, but particularly for the poor. The lesson is that we should not be advertising our good deeds expecting that men will give us rewards. If we do tell what we do for GOD, then the plaudits that we receive from man
i
is all the reward we shall 22 have. If, however, we do these good deeds for the glory of GOD, then He will give us the reward in due time
i
.
Ac 10:4
(b) In this place the word
i
is used in regard to gifts of money
i
given particularly for GOD's work and GOD's people. The angel
i
carries the gift
i
up to Heaven
i
, presents it before the Lord
i
, and before the rest of the heavenly group so that all will know that the money
i
placed in the collection and the money

given to assist otherwise in GOD's work represents your interest in it.
Ac 24:17
(b) These alms refer to the sacrifices, the money

Ps 45:8
(c) This perfume
i
represents the worship and praise, the adoration and thanksgiving that emanates from a heart
i
that has been touched by the love of GOD. It probably was one
i
of the constituents of the perfume
i
which was placed in the alabaster boxes mentioned in the New Testament. - It is that which makes the fellowship of the Lord
i
so fragrant and sweet to both His heart
i
and ours. - It may have been a part of those spices brought by the wise men to make His baby garments sweet. - It probably was a part of the perfume
i
brought by the woman
i
in
Lk 7
, who made His traveling garments fragrant. - It may have been a part of the spices brought by Mary in
Jn 12
, when she made fragrant those garments which JESUS was to wear during His last week on earth
i
before Calvary. - No doubt it was a part of the perfume
i
brought by the unnamed woman
i
in
Mk 14
, when she anointed His head
i
two
i
days before the Passover
i
and made those trial garments fragrant. - It may have been in the mixture that Nicodemus brought to make His grave clothes fragrant. - It probably is considered as part of those perfumes which we living saints may send up to Heaven
i
as our praises to fill the golden vials in the hands of the four
i
and twenty elders. (

Alpha -
Wilson's
Re 1:8
(a) In this passage our Lord
i
JESUS Himself applies this name
i
to Himself as He does also in
Re 1:11
. In
Re 21:6
, He again applies that name
i
to Himself and also in
Re 22:13
. He wants us to remember and never forget that He is the beginning of all literature. There would be no such thing as education, or understanding, or learning, were it not that He gave man
i
the ability to 23 learn, and then unveiled to man's
i
mind the multitude of matters which we call education. All information about creation has come from Him. Those who shut Him out of their lives and thinking are in darkness, or return to darkness. He is the author
i
of the solar system and of all chemicals. He is the designer of the earth
i
and the heavens. He originated the plan of salvation. He is the author
i
of every kind of life in the vegetable kingdom, the animal kingdom and the human kingdom. CHRIST
i
JESUS is first, He is before all in every department of the universe. As Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, so CHRIST
i
is the first cause of everything that exists.

Altar -
Wilson's
Earthen
i
Ex 20:24
(c) This altar may represent the Cross
i
of Calvary on which JESUS as the Lamb
i
of GOD died for those who break the holy law
i
of GOD. Immediately after giving the Ten
i
Commandments, the Lord
i
requested that this altar be built
i
at once. He knew that His laws would be broken
i
, He knew that men would need a sacrifice
i
for their sins; He therefore planned that this altar should be built
i
at once so that men could have a way
i
of forgiveness and salvation immediately. It is called an altar of earth
i
because it belongs strictly to this earth
i
. GOD makes no provision for forgiveness and salvation after death
i
. No sacrifice
i
of any kind is available to the lost
i
sinner after he dies. There is no altar in hell. Stone
i
Ex 20:25
(c) This altar is to be made of stone
i
to indicate that it is permanent, substantial, solid and cannot be tampered with by man
i
. No tool
i
was to be used in the making of it. Stones are made by GOD. It is a picture
i
of Calvary which was GOD's institution. He planned it, He designed that JESUS was to die
i
there. It must not be tampered with by man
i
. Its blessings are eternal. Calvary came from the heart
i
of GOD through the ages
i
of eternity. Brazen
Ex 27:1
-2 (c) This may be taken as a type of the cross
i
of Calvary, where the Lamb
i
of GOD was offered as a sacrifice
i
for original sin, and a sacrifice
i
for sins committed, and also as a sacrifice
i
for our own wicked selves. CHRIST
i
must die
i
for our character, as well
i
as our conduct. On that altar, the animal represented the Saviour who died both for us and for our sins. He died for what we are as burnt offering
i
. He died for our deeds as the trespass offering
i
. Golden
Ex 30:1
-3 (c) This altar represents the Cross
i
of CHRIST
i
where the beautiful and perfect
i
life of CHRIST
i
was offered up to GOD as a sweet perfume
i
and fragrant incense
i
. The life of CHRIST
i
which was perfect
i
was offered to GOD instead of our lives which are so imperfect. It is typical also of the consecrated life of the believer from which there ascends to GOD as a sweet odor
i
the sacrifices of our lips in thanksgiving, worship and praise. Idol
i
1K 18:26
(c) Here we may think of a false altar which is a type of the religious plans and schemes of men wherein they hope to appease the god of their imagination, and to obtain his favor even though what they are doing is not Scriptural. False
2K 16:10
(c) Here and elsewhere we find altars built
i
ostensibly for the worship of GOD, but really for the worship of idols. These false altars are symbolical for the world's religious schemes and plans under the name
i
of Christianity. Worldly men devise worldly plans for the worship of those who live in their sins, and yet seek a religious outlet for their feelings. Every false religion has an "altar" of this kind. Deserted
Ps 84:3
(c) Here is brought before us clearly that GOD's people had forsaken both the worship and the service of the Lord
i
to such an extent that the fires had gone out, the altar was cold
i
, and no priest
i
was near. The birds felt so much at home around these altars that they built
i
their nests where the priests should have been serving, and the fires should have been burning. Christian
Mt 5:23
(b) This probably teaches us that there is a place of worship called "the altar" to which the believer goes for worship, praise and prayer. It may be in the church
i
building
i
or in the home. When we come to this hallowed place, we are to come with a heart
i
that is open
i
and free from bitterness, free from spite, and free from grudges. We are to be a forgiving people if we expect forgiveness from Heaven
i
. Unknown
Ac 17:23
(a) This altar is probably typical of the false faiths by which people go through the motions of seeking and worshipping GOD, though their words and actions indicate clearly that they do not know Him, nor His character, nor His ways.
Heb 13:10
(a) The word
i
here probably represents the Lord's
i
table
i
, and all the holy associations which accompany the Gospel of CHRIST
i
.
Re 8:3
(c) From this we learn that in some mysterious way
i
there is such an altar in Heaven
i
. At that altar the fragrant incense
i
of the prayers and the worship of Christians ascends to GOD and permeates Heaven

.

Amalek -
Wilson's
Ge 36:12
(c) The meaning of this word
i
is "a people that take away all." Originally Amalek was a grandson of Esau
i
. Esau
i
is a type of the flesh
i
, and Amalek is also a type of the flesh
i
which has no place in the economy of GOD. He was outside the family
i
of GOD, and no effort was ever made to bring him into the family
i
of GOD. So the human flesh
i
is at enmity with GOD. That which is born
i
of the flesh
i
remains flesh
i
. The flesh
i
never gets converted, and never becomes holy in itself. There is no help for the flesh
i
found in the Scriptures.
Ex 17:14
(c) Amalek was to be kept in subjection by Israel
i
, and this is a type of our flesh
i
which is to be kept in subjection by the people of GOD. As the flesh
i
lusts against the Spirit (
Ga 5:17
), so Amalek fought against Israel
i
constantly, and the Lord
i
declared that this battle
i
was to continue and never cease.
De 25:17
(c) Here again Amalek is represented as a type of Satan and of the flesh
i
, both of which attack GOD's people, especially when they are weak, weary and sick
i
. Those who lag behind in the service of the Lord
i
thus separating themselves from Christians who are on the march, will find that this enemy Amalek will make inroads in their souls and lives.

Ambassador -
Wilson's
2Co 5:20
(a) This title is given to those Christians who carry
i
GOD's message to a lost
i
and hostile world. It probably does not apply to all believers for many of GOD's children are afraid to become His messengers, and they keep the good news to themselves The true ambassador comes out boldly for his king
i
and for his country
i
.
Eph 6:20
(a) Paul used the title in this passage because he was representing Heaven
i
on earth
i
. He carried the King's
i
message to the rebels who were bent
i
on killing him. He was GOD's representative to bring to men the Word
i
of his Lord
i
both for their salvation and their condemnation.
