The wind, as all else, is used by God to work out His purposes with man (Ex. 10:13; Psa. 135:7; Ezek. 13:13). As the unseen wind comes and goes we know not whither, “so is every one that is born of the Spirit” (John 3:8). Its power is felt, and the result abides. The wind is also used as a symbol of the unseen influence of Satan (Jude 12); and where permitted he carries out his evil designs by the wind (Job 1:19).
