THE KINGDOM PARABLES<br />
4.4 PUTS FORTH LARGE BRANCHES THAT THE BIRDS OF<br />
AIR CAME AND MADE NESTS IN ITS SHADE.<br />
The large branches capable of offering nests for the birds of the air is<br />
evidently not possible in a mustard herb however large it grew. Birds of<br />
the air, or birds of the heaven always symbolize the Satanic powers.<br />
Whenever the ‘the birds of the air" is used symbolically it means<br />
children of the prince of the air. Prince of the air is Satan. Eph. 2:2 says<br />
"wherein you once walked, according to the course of the world,<br />
according to the prince of the powers of the air." Again Eph 6:12 says:<br />
"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against<br />
principalities, against powers, against the world rulers of this darkness,<br />
against the spiritual powers of hosts of wickedness in heavenly places."<br />
Birds of the air are the birds of the heaven - the high flying birds of<br />
prey. These are considered unclean birds, not to be used as food.<br />
Remember we are now not talking about birds - but birds as an image.<br />
Our Lord clearly identified them in his interpretation of the first parable.<br />
"Birds are the evil ones " - Satan and all the forces of evil.<br />
