When the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Christ, John exclaimed in jubilation at the magnificent sight. (Matt 3:16). The sheep is symbolic of the Christian. In Old Testament times, sheep were clean and edible to humans and a precious sacrifice to God. They chewed the cud and had cloven hooves. We Christians are the sheep in Christ"s pasture as we chew the cud and meditate on His Word, and we are cloven-footed as we live in this world with hearts that long for our Heavenly Home. All of the Animals in the Bible is the complete scholar"s handbook for Biblical research and study of animals found in Scripture. This 2nd edition has been updated and revised to provide even more valuable information on the subject.
