Cuckows []


Some cuckows build their nest on the ground in shrubs so they represent people of the flesh. Their name can mean ‘shrub death’. Adam may have named them because of that. But the word also means ‘emaciated’, or ‘wasted away’. The nickname of the cuckow could be ‘Bone-y’.

Those who are spiritually dying are not a good source for spiritual teaching. Jesus used the word ‘dead’ to refer to those who are spiritually dead. [1] The person who does more and more bad things is wasting away and we should not learn from them.

The person who stops learning about God, stops learning good things and falls backwards to do the old bad things.
