The first verse set symbolizes the church's covetous desires. We have received all that we ever need in the blood of Christ, in our freedom through Christ, but today's American church will literally read between the lines looking for those verses that say they will be prosperous with money, and they will be rich, when Jesus Christ preached contrary to that.
The second verse is still about the church, the whole cd is about the church by the way, about how we don't have faith in God to provide what we need, but we look to the world to provide the things we want but don't need. The church is selfish and is greedy, but they say its God. They prefer the life of the world than the life given to us by Christ. They don't have faith that God will provide exactly what they need, but are ashamed because they think that that kind of life isn't worth living. Its a shame.
The last little part about buying a husbands jealous love i think is a prophetic warning to those preachers and pastors who preach prosperity, deceiving the bride of Christ.
The whole whore/son thing is just describing who the church is. We are whores, we are prodigals, but God makes us new and will care for us.
