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.
"Eagles wings" can just mean safely and swiftly.

Exd 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and [how] I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
