| '''Pelican'''
| |
| | |
| Perhaps Adam watched a pelican scoop up his meal, and then vomit up the shell and rocks. He named it 'vomit after'. That's gross.
| |
| | |
| Vomit, like spit, is a symbol of rejection. <ref>{{bgw| Job 20:15 }} He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.</ref> Those who reject the word should not be teachers of the word. <ref>{{bgw| Pr 26:11 }} As a dog returneth to his vomit, [so] a fool returneth to his folly.</ref> The pelican represents those who reject the word of God.
| |
| | |
| * pelican ''qa’ath'' קאת - vomit קא after ת.
| |
| | |
| '''Gier eagle'''
| |
| | |
| The name contains the Hebrew root 'to love'. The birds are mated and seldom separated. This maybe part of what Adam saw, but if this was all, we would have difficulty understanding why it is an unclean bird. Love is a good thing to learn. But the gier eagle eats almost nothing but carrion or road kill.
| |
| | |
| The name actually means 'not understanding love'. Though they are together in the appearance of love, they eat nothing but dead things. It is true that when we eat the bread of communion, we are learning from his death, but it is followed by the wine or 'blood of the grape' which is a symbol of his life. <ref>{{bgw| Le 17:11 }} For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul.</ref>
| |
| | |
| Paul teaches that if we don't have love, our faith, generosity, and sacrifices mean nothing. <ref>{{bgw|Co 13:2,3 }} And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.</ref>
| |
| | |
| The one who truly loves eats the living word of God with others.
| |
| | |
| * gier eagle ''haracham'' הרחם - not understanding ה love רחם.
| |

| |
| '''Stork'''
| |
| | |
| Storks are primarily carnivorous and eat reptiles, small mammals, insects, fish, amphibians and other small invertebrates. He devours almost all living things without mercy. It is perhaps this destruction of living things that Adam observed when he named the stork "not understanding holiness and mercy". Holiness and mercy are the attributes of God, so he named it "Not understanding God".
| |
| | |
| The main purpose of God is to teach us that He is Holy or different and separated. <ref>{{bgw| Le 11:45 }} For I [am] the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I [am] holy.</ref>; He alone is God. He also teaches that He is Love. <ref>{{bgw| 1Jo 4:8 }} He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.</ref>
| |
| | |
| * stork ''chaciydah'' החסידה - not understanding ה*ה holiness , mercy חסיד
| |
| | |
| '''Heron'''
| |
| | |
| When the heron hunts, it stand very still in the water looking for it's prey. When it sees something, it moves it's head back and forth to get the targeting range through the water. Perhaps Adam named it 'yearning undulation (back and forth movement)' for this behavior. Once it had that name, by word-play it became 'her anger'.
| |
| | |
| Jesus said that if we were angry, we were guilty of murder. Angry words can hurt people for a very long time. But they hurt you even more. <ref>{{bgw| Mt 5:21,22 }} Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.</ref> .
| |
| | |
| When you are angry, you allow something else to control you. You think you are real important and should be treated better. But see how easily you are controlled? You can be made to be angry simply if you are told that it is bed time. You are out of control. The one who is in control does not need to be angry.
| |
| | |
| The heron also has a wild headdress that may have made it look angry to Adam.
| |
| | |
| * heron ''anaphah'' אנפה - anger of her ה.

| '''Lapwing'''
| |
| | |
| The lapwing is known for the irregular pattern of beating it's wings. Flap-flap- - flap - flap, flap, flap.
| |
| | |
| God commanded Moses to strike the rock for water the first time. The second time he told him to speak to it, but Moses struck it. This is a silly play on words: Moses gave the rock an irregular (or at the wrong time) beating. He forfeited the privilege of entering into the promised land. <ref>{{bgw| Nu 20:12 }} And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.</ref>
| |
| | |
| * lapwing ''duwkiyphath'' דוכיפת - beat דוכ the mystery פ plan י which was finished ת.
| |
| | |
| '''Bat'''
| |
| | |
| As mentioned previously, the Bible does not say the bat is a bird. It says that it is a 'flying thing'. 'Bird' is a poor translation.
| |
| | |
| Bats are known for their irregular flight patterns. The lapwing had an irregular wing flap and the bat flies all over the place. The name of the bat suggests one who wanders from the path or deviates from God's will. These should not be our teachers.
| |
| | |
| The path represents God's plan for your life. His plan is to bless you <ref>{{bgw| Jer 29:11 }} For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.</ref> if you allow him.
| |
| | |
| God wants us to learn from teachers who are steady in their faith, teaching and lives; not those who are unpredictable.
| |
| | |
| * bat ''atalleph'' עטלף - turn aside עטף from the teaching ל.

| '''Summary'''
| |
| | |
| All of these birds were named by Adam because of the behaviors he observed.
| |
| <ref>{{bgw| Ge 2:19 }} And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof.</ref>
| |
| By the riddle they become representative of behaviors we don't want for ourselves. When God looks at us, he does not see our behaviors. He sees the work of Christ and gives us a new name or reputation based on that of Jesus.
| |
| <ref>{{bgw| Isa 62:2 }} And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.</ref>
| |
| <ref>{{bgw| Re 2:17 }} He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it].</ref>
