Happy 20th post~! Now on to the subject...
I was reading my Bible and I noticed a phrase. It popped out at me!
(KJV) Luke 13:32
"Go ye, and tell that fox,"
Now all who have watched Flyleaf's "Call You Out" video, have seen that it consists of rabbits, a bear, a fox, and a certain crow.
People have interpreted what the lyrics mean:
"I think maybe this song is about sin and Satan. The person is living
their life in sin and not living for God. They are close with Satan and
fulfilling his wants and needs. But finally, they realize the truth and
love in God and are turning their back on Satan. 'Shut up, get out.
Truth called you out.' God is the truth and he is telling Satan to get
out of their life. Just my loose interpretation."-autumnrome (songmeanings.com)
Now the video shows the bear going after the rabbits. He is obviously a symbol for hatred, evil, and Satan. The bear traps the rabbits in a cage and destroys their homes. Meanwhile, the crow is flying over the forest. It speaks to a fox, supposedly telling him about what's going on. The fox starts to run, finds the bear, and stalks it.
They get to a mountain (cliff), and the crows distract the bear. The fox takes the cage and frees the rabbits. Now everyone is against the bear. The edge of the cliff breaks, and the bear falls down to his death.
The bear is a symbol for hatred, evil, and Satan.
The rabbits are a symbol of innocent people, vulnerable to sin and evil.
The fox is a symbol of a righteous and good person; saving the rabbits from "Satan".
The crow is a symbol of an angel (or God), speaking to the fox and telling him to help. And at the end of the video, hundreds of crows help the fox and rabbits by distracting the bear. Obviously, God always helps in these situations.
At least, this is what I believe. ;)
"The video was directed by Brad Scott who has this to say about creating
the clip: 'Our team has been a fan of Flyleaf since the very beginning,
so working on a music video for the album ‘New Horizons’ was a great
honor. Flyleaf’s new song ‘Call You Out’ is about the power of truth
rising against evil.'" (loudwire.com)
TRUTH rising against EVIL.
Now what brought me to write this is that verse. "Go ye, and tell that fox,"
In verse 31, it says: "That same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee." (to Jesus)
"32And he said to them, Go ye and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected." (Jesus to the Pharisees)
I'm not sure about how this may relate to Flyleaf's "Call You Out", but I was shocked when I read "and tell that fox". Because that's exactly what the crow did. Oh well, just what was on my mind recently.
