Heaven Bound

“And the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, in order that she might fly in to the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. ” Revelation 12:14

Early this morning I had a short dream that I would like to relate here.

In this dream I was in Israel. What I was doing there is rather fuzzy. Next thing I know two large Eagles are flying towards me. One is a Bald Eagle and the other is a Golden. The Bald Eagle proceeds to land on my right shoulder with the other Eagle landing next to him.

Pretty short dream. But interesting nonetheless. I ran it by my daughter and she immediately thought of Revelation 12:14 as quoted above.

Now, I think it’s safe to say that these Eagles are not literal but rather symbolic for we also read in the book of Exodus how the Israelites were brought out of Egypt on the wings of Eagles … and as we know there were no literal Eagles involved.

“You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.” Exodus 19:4

Therefore it is an obvious figure of speech comparing God’s protection and care to that of an eagle; very similar to what we read in Deuteronomy chapter 32 verses 10-12.

“In a desert land he found him, in a barren and howling waste.
He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of his eye, like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young,
that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them aloft”.

So, its possible that once again the imagery could be figurative as it was in Exodus. But it could also be symbolic of a country that has the ways and means to make this happen.

And that country would of course be the United States for whom the Bald Eagle is its national bird.

Therefore, I think it’s a strong possibility that the wings of Eagles in this instance could very well be the United States as both eagles (Golden and Bald) represent this country in strength, power and freedom. And perhaps more importantly – money.

How soon this might happen is anyone’s guess. But, we know Bible prophecy is moving forward rapidly with the situation in the Middle-East changing by the day so anything could happen. In the meantime, we watch and wait knowing that in God’s time and in God’s way all of these things will be fulfilled just as he said.

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem they shall prosper who love thee” Psalm 122:6

Watching and waiting with YOU for the soon return of Jesus! Cindy
