"FETH"

These are some pretty cool ideas about some of the words in the Old Testament and what they stand for:

"Spaciousness- Christ is limitless and inexhaustible in His riches (Eph. 1:3; 3:8, 17-19)

Good- Christ embodies goodness, pleasantness, and excellence (Phil. 3:8)

Water- Christ is a stream, a fountain, and a spring of living water that is refreshing and quenches our thirst (John 4:10-14; 7:38)

Valleys and hills- Christ is both a valley of suffering and a hill of overcoming (2 Cor. 4:11-12; 6:9-10)

Wheat- Christ is the power to die to self (John 12:24-25; Phil. 3:10)

Barley- Christ is resurrection life, which overcomes death (John 6:9-13; 11:25; 1 Cor. 15:22-23)

Vines- Christ is the real Vine (John 15:1-5). He is also the fruit of the vine-the crushed grape and the new wine that gives joy and gladness to His people (Judg. 9:13; Ps. 104:15)

Figs- Christ is our sweetness and the fruit of the Spirit (Judg. 9:11; Gal. 5:22-23)"
