ELTB CC Flying things
God wants everyone to know him, so all things created teach us something about him. [1] We don't learn from hands, feet, air and earth by looking at them, but by what God says about them; by the symbols.

The flying things were created to fly or live in the air. They represent characteristics of the spirit. Our spirit is supposed to love God. The flying things in this list swarm or crawl on the earth, symbolizing people who follow the crowd instead of God. There is an old saying, "If it is popular, there is something wrong with it." [5]
The insects we can eat, teach us behaviors we should learn. The animals that creep, will be a list of things we shouldn't follow.
