offspring whose natural and ultimate fulfillment is suckling a child. C) The concept of a natural father’s female offspring as the milk producers of the family is brought over to the church. Thus, the term defines the church of the Lord Jesus Christ as the milk dispenser of His word. See 1 Peter 2:1–4. D) Symbolically, a city and its citizens, for instance the Bible terms Israel’s cities the daughters of Israel. E) Term of endearment, “apple of my eye,” was a paternal one. Its use meant God was saying that is what Israel was to Him (Deuteronomy 32:10), along with Zion (Zechariah 2:8) a daughter city that He cherished greatly. See Milk. Psalm 48:11 and 97:8; Isaiah 16:2. 347. David—“Beloved of God.” Israel’s second king who also stood in the office of a prophet. This was not a major phenomenon since most ancient kings of his day were expected to do the same. That is, the king was to be the a) shepherd of the land, b) priest of the land, c) prophet of the land, and all in addition to fulfilling his role as the king of the land. Also, the king was automatically commander-in-chief since his ascension to the throne, in most cases, was facilitated by his warrior prowess. Study the book of 1 Samuel and 1 and 2 Chronicles. 348. Day—Shining. The full twenty-four-hour period between sunrise to sunrise, or in the case of the Hebrews, sunset and sunset. The literal day portion is the twelve hours of light that is distinguished from the equal number of hours of darkness. Genesis 1:5, 8. Symbolically, the day refers to the time of exposition, revelation, and manifestation. The day of something is also the period spiritually aligned with the biblical day where something ordained of God occurs as His prophetic word coming to pass. In that day is a phrase often used in the Bible. That day refers to the time marked on the Creator’s calendar for the appearance of something prophetically ordained that cannot be annulled or avoided. 349. Day, the Lord’s—The Sabbath. The day of rest. In the New Testament church, it is Sunday, the first day of the week, when the Christians gather according to the book of Acts 20:7 and Revelation 1:10. In Christ, the term refers to the period of history that ensued upon His resurrection and ascension that will never end. It is the era of the New Creation church. When encountered in prophetic or symbolic contexts it may pertain to the spiritual implications of any one of these explanations. Hebrews 3–4; Revelation 1:10. 350. Daybreak—Symbolically this terms refers to the interruption of darkness, specifically a dark hour of trouble or sorrow, with the illuminations of God. In
