2 Pe 2:22 “But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, the dog is returned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.”
We all know the Parable of the Prodigal Son. The story of the father’s son who leaves the father’s house and ends up in the pig pen and eventually comes to himself and returns to the father’s house.
2 Peter 2:22 could be called the Parable of the Prodigal Pig. It is the story of the pig who decided that he wanted to go and live in the father’s house. So he takes a bath and puts on some cologne and ties a pink ribbon around his neck and takes off for the father’s house. He gets there and lives with the father’s children for awhile but one day he looks at the mud hole beyond the father’s gate and "HE COMES TO HIMSELF" and says, "I can’t stand being clean and eating at a table and sleeping on clean sheets. I know what I will do. I will arise and go back to my mud hole and wallow.”
Not to mention, of course, the Parable of the Prodigal Pup also found in 2 Peter 2:22.
