It refers to a large, carnivorous bird of prey known for its long feathers, wings, speed, power in flight, and keen eyesight (2Sa 1:23; Psa 103:5; Isa 40:31). It serves in the famous &#8220;eagles&#8217; wings&#8221; passage as the bird on which the Lord brought Israel to Himself (Exo 19:4). The eagle represents the Lord as He hovers over His people to care for them (Deu 32:11). It was forbidden as food to Israel (Lev 11:13; Deu 14:12). It is employed figuratively as a bird of prey to represent the attack of Israel&#8217;s enemies (Deu 28:49; Job 9:26). God is the creator of the eagle (Job 39:27).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Spiros Zodhiates breaks down its characteristics as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Large<\/strong> in size<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Carnivorous<\/strong> bird of prey\u2014or predatory.
