On Eagle's Wings...to Himself!

"You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself." Exodus 19:4

In the Revelation there is a prophecy of Israel and eagle's wings once again wherein the woman, which we know to be Israel by her birth of a special son, is given two wings of a great eagle to fly to a refuge. A place of refuge is of course what we look to our Lord to provide. We also look to meet the Lord Jesus in the clouds at the Rapture, which would also be a place where eagle's wings could take us if they are ordained by Him.

Eagle's wings speak of travel high, far, and fast. Travel away from danger and into the loving arms of our Savior. But the eagle's wings must also go into a shrieking dive to rend and kill. True, for now, but that is what the eagle must do to get by in this fallen and cursed world. We have similar activities that we do to get by until the reunion with our Lord. What we look, somewhat enviously we may admit, to the eagle for is that ability to fly high and far at great speed. And God uses that metaphor to remind us of that glorious destination in this amazing flight - to Himself! He brought Israel to Himself in the wilderness and daily He brings you and me to Himself with speed in this wilderness of the world. One day, as on wings of eagles, He will bring us to Himself forever.

Have a great day in the Lord Jesus!
