43+ Bible Verses about Eagles that Inspire Overcoming Obstacles!

“You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.”

In this verse, God speaks to the Israelites, reminding them of the miraculous deliverance from Egypt. The mention of “eagles’ wings” symbolizes God’s strength and protection. Just as an eagle carries its young on its wings to safety, God carried the Israelites out of bondage.

“Like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them aloft. The Lord alone led him; no foreign god was with him.”

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

“The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach.”

And on that account, all the people who bide their time for the almighty Heavenly Father, the Supreme Being of all the universe, shall have their power restored; they shall be able to rise up high by the help of their wings, like that of eagles; And therefore, they might travel in a hurry, but they will not grow tired; they might make their way through roads, but they will not collapse to the ground.

How an eagle lays out his wings in the sky, how a snake crawls on rocks, how a boat floats on deep waters, and how a man makes loves to a maiden should be considered. 

“Like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them aloft.”

“Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a human being, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle.”

And on that account, do you think that the eagle makes his way up and builds his roost at such a height because of your orders? He wanders amidst the rocks and builds a settlement for himself there, on the rough and stony cliffs and on top of towers. From there, he spots his targets about to turn into his meal; his eyes catch sight of them from a great distance. The babies he gave birth to feed on blood, and he will be present at all the places where the ones who have been put to death are laid down.

And in front of the royal seat was something like a sea of mirrors, something similar to crystal. And surrounding the royal seat, on either of its ends, were four living souls, with eyes at the back and in front: a bullock, an eagle, a lion, and a human. And on that account, all four living souls, the lion, the eagle, the bullock, and the human, had six pinions each, with eyes all over and on the inside as well.
