**I am amazed both at your ignorance of scripture and your ignorance of spelling rules.***

I figured you would catch the spelling error. I didn't have my dictionary handy at that moment.

God also said he had delivered the Israelites out of Egypt "on eagle's wings" yet my reading shows they walked it all the way.

Perhaps I'm getting forgetful. But I have it in my noggin that the 'eagle's wings' phrase is about a future END TIMES event. IIRC the flight to Petra.

Some have speculated that it will involve American Aircraft. I'm skeptical of that. I think God is much more likely to do it supernaturally.

I have no trouble, IN THIS CASE seeing 'eagle's wings' as being a metaphor. I think in the blood case, a metaphor is highly unlikely. Seems to me there was mention somewhere of the stench etc.

The passages are different, RDB. "Eagles Wings" is clearly a metaphor.

The waters turning to blood was obviously testimony of a miracle; a miracle necessary to influence the mind of the Egyptians, Israelites, and especially of Pharaoh.

The resurrection is also a miracle. Do you consider that simply a metaphor?
