Summary
All of these birds were named by Adam because of the behaviors he observed. [1] God then used the names he gave to teach us about good and bad teachers, and good and bad spiritual characteristics. We learn from what God said about the animals after Adam named them. He used the riddles of the alphabet to call them something else.
The Hebrew alphabet is part of the work of Christ as he reveals the invisible Father. When God looks at us, he does not see the names we have been given by others. He sees the work of Christ in us and gives us a new name or reputation based on the works of Jesus. [2] [3]
