- John Adams, a devout Christian, helped choose the bald eagle as the symbol for America. I believe it was an inspired choice.
- The bald eagle has come roaring back from near extinction.
- An eagle's youth is renewed as it gets older as researchers continue to discover and as the Bible tells us (Ps 103:5).
- Interestingly, the flying eagle is one of four faces described throughout the Bible (Eze 1:10,10:14; Rev 4:7) of "man-like" (Eze 1:5) creatures that surround the throne and ceaselessly say "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come" (Rev 4:8). Well many believe that these four faces represent the four main characteristics of Jesus with each of the four gospels emphasizing one of the four. The flying eagle is thought to symbolize Jesus as the Son of God, emphasized in John's gospel, as the one who will fly back to us in his second coming.
To me, these are all very hopeful symbols and aspects that point to the possibility and hope of God, not man, reviving America and giving her "a new birth of freedom" until Jesus returns for his bride. (All bets are off after that.) I also have some personal reasons why I think America's freedom and prosperity may be renewed because of clear promises of God's blessing and greatly prospering me and others for the next 60 years or so before I go to Heaven.
Hm, thank you for sharing those.
What you say is quite encouraging.
