Psalm 102:7 (a) Our Lord Himself uses this bird as a type of His loneliness in His life on earth. He had been with angels, archangels, seraphim, cherubim, and with GOD His Father throughout eternity. Now He was dwelling among those who hardly understood Him, or cared about Him. They could not live the life that He lived. He lived a lonely life for lack of companions who understood Him. The sparrow is seldom seen alone, and rarely on the housetop. It is usually under the eaves, or out in the road, or down in the grass, and always in flocks. This is a picture of the lonely, desolate life of our Lord JESUS on earth.
