EXODUS, GENESIS AND EAGLE'S WINGS

Genesis 1:1-2 KJV  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.  (2)  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.  (3)  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.  (4)  And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.  (5)  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.  (6)  And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

Deuteronomy 31:19 KJV  Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

Deuteronomy 31:30 KJV  And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.

Deuteronomy 32:1 KJV  Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

Deuteronomy 32:8-11 KJV  (8)  When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.  (9)  For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.  (10)  He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.  (11)  As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:


Moses wrote Deuteronomy and chapter 32 is a prophetical song of Moses.

Deuteronomy 32:1 KJV  Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

Just like Genesis, the song of Moses begins with reference to the heaven and the earth.
Deut 32: .  (10)  He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

God found Israel in the desert which is the wilderness we read about in Exodus.
Deuteronomy 32:11 KJV  As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

Here is another instance where WORDS FOUND IN GENESIS 1 are used here.
Genesis 1:2 KJV  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

God’s Spirit is known to be like a dove or bird.

Genesis 1:2 GW  The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep water. The Spirit of God was hovering over the water.

Genesis 1:2 YLT  the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness is on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters,


God literally fluttered as though with WINGS over the waters that covered the earth in Genesis 1:2.
Deuteronomy 32:11 KJV  As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

Egypt was like a nest, as filthy as Egypt was, for Israel, whom God likens to infant eagles.
Deuteronomy 32:11 YLT  As an eagle waketh up its nest, Over its young ones fluttereth, Spreadeth its wings--taketh them, Beareth them on its pinions; --

And the eagle actually bears the little ones on its own wings.
Exodus 19:1  In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.

Exodus 19:3  And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;  (4)  Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.

When they arrived at Sinai, God said He had borne Israel upon eagles’ wings and brought them to Himself.
Ezekiel 16:8 KJV  Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.

God exchanges the idea of covering Israel with eagles’ wings for covering her with his skirt, which was a manner of speaking of MARRYING Israel.

Look at WHAT POINT God gives Israel EAGLES’ WINGS.

Revelation 12:5 KJV  And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

The WOMAN in Revelation 12 is like ISRAEL in the Exodus.

Revelation 12:6 KJV  And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Just as Israel was delivered by the Passover blood on the doorways of their homes, we read there is a war in heaven and Michael and his angels battle the devil, and the church overcomes by the blood.

Revelation 12:7 KJV  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Revelation 12:8 KJV  And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

Revelation 12:11 KJV  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

It actually mentions the BLOOD OF THE LAMB to point us back to the PASSOVER.

And Just as when Israel fled Egypt and Pharaoh was defeated by the Passover and then chased Israel, we read the dragon chased the woman and the woman was GIVEN WINGS OF A GREAT EAGLE.:

Rev 12:13-16 KJV  And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.  (14)  And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.  (15)  And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.  (16)  And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

Israel passed through the Red Sea just as the woman was given wings of a great eagle.

Exodus 14:13-14 KJV  And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.  (14)  The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

STAND STILL – WAIT.

Exo 14:23-28 KJV  And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.  (24)  And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,  (25)  And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.  (26)  And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.  (27)  And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.  (28)  And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.

And Moses described this event later on by saying:

Exo 15:9-12 KJV  The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.  (10)  Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.  (11)  Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?  (12)  Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

THE EARTH SWALLOWED THE ARMIES just as Revelation 12 said the earth swallowed the flood sent from the mouth of the dragon.

So the point in which GOD CARRIED ISRAEL ON HIS WINGS in Deut 32:11 was when THE RED SEA OPENED UP.

Notice that God told Israel to STAND STILL AND SEE GOD’S SALVATION.

Isaiah 40:28-31 KJV  Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.  (29)  He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.  (30)  Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:  (31)  But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

God is said to not get weary nor faint.

So the wings of the eagle lifted Israel AT THE POINT OF THE RED SEA.

But the great eagle carried Israel to HIMSELF.
