    What is the importance of an "Eagle Ministry"?

    What the Bible says

    The KJV Bible uses the world "Eagle" 34 times:

    1. Five (5) verses refer to vultures, not eagles (Job 39:27, Prov 30:17, Micah 1:16, Matt 24:28 and Luke 17:37). For a detailed discussion, see our article on Matthew 24:28.
    2. Four (4) verses refer to the 'unclean' animals that were not kosher to eat (Lev 11:13 & 18 and Deut 14:12 & 17).
    3. Five (5) verses refer to 'bad eagles' (, Ezek 17, Hos 8:1, Obadiah 1:4).
    4. refer to characteristics of eagles and are used as illustrations or metaphors. None of these illustrations relate to prophets. (Deut 28:49, 2 Sam 1:23, Job 9:26, Psalms 103:5, Prov 23:5, Prov 30:19, Isaiah 40:31, Jer 4:13, Jeremiah 48:40, Jeremiah 49:16, Jeremiah 49:22, Lam 4:19
    5. refer to metaphors for God (Exodus 19:4, Deut 32:11,
    6. The rest refer to angels,
    7. and identifying people of strength

    So it appears that an eagle is a type of fierce swiftness and strength, not of prophetic wisdom or vision. Other than King Saul, we could not find a prophet or seer that was likened to an Eagle.
