{{:Beetle
The beetle comforts us from fear. Perfect love casts out fear [1]. The beetle suggests that love accomplishes this by teaching. As we learn who God is and that he is in control we can trust him and not fear in the midst of any circumstance.

Grasshopper
The grasshopper reminds us of those people who preach the gospel of life through the resurrection of Christ. The 'great and terrible day of the Lord' [1] was the day of the cross. It was a terrible day because the wrath of God was poured out on the sin of mankind born by the flesh of Christ Jesus. But it was a great day as the source of eternal life.

The exchange
Le 11:23 But all [other] flying creeping things, which have four feet, [shall be] an abomination unto you. Le 11:24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even. . The evening is the symbol of the cross where grace meets judgement. The sins of man are covered by the works of the Son. Whoever needs forgiveness is unclean until he comes to the cross. [1]

Carrying the carcase [∞]
Whoever brags on sin needs forgiveness offered by Jesus through the cross. If they follow the bad teachers, they shall cleanse their minds and works through the word of God.

Creeping things
Le 11:29-31 These also [shall be] unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, 30 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. 31 These [are] unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
Creeping things are those things which reproduce quickly. The things listed will all be things that God does not want to spread. creeping things... on the earth sharats שרץ - increase abundantly [in the flesh], the ox shur שר death ץ. |

Weasel The weasel represents the teaching of this age, or this world. The world teaches us to succeed. God teaches us to love.
Mouse The mouse is a symbol of the abounding flesh. The mouse chases his success.

Tortoise Some shield themselves from God, such as refusing to read the New Testament, or refusing to read the Bible.
|
|
Ferret The ferret makes all kinds of noises: whimpering, whining, screeching, screaming, barking, snoring. Perhaps Adam heard one sound like he was groaning and named him that. The whole earth groaned until Jesus came for us. [1]

Might and power are the opposite of the spirit [1].

The lizard represents those whose desire for God has become dead.

The mole represents those who have died desolate. Suggestive of dead authors who were not alive in the spirit. |
