This edition of Psalm 91 Today will examine some poetic parallels between the natural world and the Spirit of God. In the upcoming weeks, we will look at more on how eagles interact with the wind, and how this forms a type of believers flowing in the Spirit of God. (For more information, you may order a copy of my book, Heaven’s Eagle from this website.
The Winds Portray the Spiritual World
The soaring of an…..
In 2 Corinthians 2:14 Paul uses an analogy of being in a Roman triumphal procession. He tells his readers, “But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere” (NIV).
A Roman triumph originated as a grand entry of an army into Rome, displaying captives and plunder. Triumphal parades were only awarded when a general conquered a formidable foe in foreign lands,…..
There are seven ways that a believer can see like an eagle:
1) Like an Eagle, a Christian Believer Can See From a Higher Elevation. Psalm 91, which tells the story of an eagle raising its young, refers to God, in the figure of an eagle, as the “Most High.” Believers can gain eagle-like elevation through praise and worship. As we enter into God’s presence, we feel his power begin to elevate our mood and spiritual outlook. Eagles are raptors,…..
This week we stay in the mode of a diversion from our normal blog about Psalm 91 and how it is the story of an eagle raising its young. (For more info on this subject, purchase my book, Heaven’s Eagle, from this website.)
The Bible tells us, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons” (Gen. 1:14). Hence, the events going on…..
Today, we take a little diversion from Psalm 91 to investigate Palm Sunday.
Jesus enters Jerusalem just before Passover, and is met by a huge crowd. He comes to them riding on a donkey, thus fulfilling Zechariah 9:9, which says, “Your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey” (NIV).
This fulfillment of prophecy also causes us to look at Zechariah 3:8 and 6:12, which speak of the Messiah as a “Branch” that God will…..
We have in this blog, week after week, been making allusion to how the Scripture likens the Holy Spirit to an eagle. However, are there false eagles? In the spiritual realm are there entities that try to mimic the way that the Holy Spirit resembles a mighty eagle?
Of course, much of our discussion to this point has centered on the way that Psalm 91 tells the story of an eagle raising its young. The psalm mentions the eaglets in…..
Today in my blog, Psalm 91 Today, I want to look at the image of an eagle (a type of the Holy Spirit) fighting a dragon (a type of Satan or the Antichrist).
In previous blogs, we have looked at details of how eagles and dragons are used as symbols in Scripture, but how about the details of an actual warfare?
Some species of eagles are capable of firing talon strikes with as much as three times the muzzle energy…..
In my last blog, I mentioned how eagles are renowned for trampling snakes and other serpents. I also touched on how Moses, the likely author of Psalm 91, encountered dragon-like creatures several times in his life, and with God’s help, overcame them.
God uses the image of the eagle to speak of Himself in a number of places in Scripture. For instance, he tells Israel, “You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on…..
Today in this blog, Psalm 91 Today, we are examining the eagle versus the dragon. The eagle, of course, represents the Holy Spirit.
Psalm 91 speaks about the Holy Spirit training believers in the figure of an eagle raising its young. For instance, verse 13 of the Psalm tells us: “Thou shalt tread upon the lion and the adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet” (Ps. 91:13 KJV).
Almost one third of the approximately 70…..
The name of this blog is Psalm 91 Today. Here we examine how the Holy Spirit is training believers in this hour. We compare this training to the way an eagle trains its young, for that is what Psalm 91 is about – an eagle training its young, just the way the Holy Spirit trained Moses, the author of the psalm.
Psalm 91 tells us so much about eagles, that the psalm is a key that opens understanding for many…..
