Eagle
A majestic bird of prey symbolizing strength, renewal, and divine protection. Exodus 19:4 records God telling Israel, 'I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.' Deuteronomy 32:11 pictures God 'like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them aloft.' Isaiah 40:31 promises, 'Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles.' Ezekiel 1:10 and Revelation 4:7 include an eagle-like face among the four living creatures around God's throne. Proverbs 30:19 marvels at 'the way of an eagle in the sky.' The eagle represents God's transcendent power and tender care.
