 William Branham stated many times (see the list of quotes below) that the Bible compared God's prophets to eagles.  However, he never provided one scriptural example of where this was the case.  Here are a few of William Branham's quotes on the subject of eagles and prophets:
-:''“Before God moves to action, like He did in the days of Noah, he sent forth an Eagle.  When he brought Israel, and Pharaoh’s army was ready to go, He sent an eagle.  Every time, He sends an eagle at the last, end of it.  And here He sends an eagle, again.”'' (63-0322, The [[Fifth Seal]])

-:''The Bible likens His prophets to being eagles. Now, a eagle can soar higher than any other bird. If another bird tries to follow an eagle, he'd die, because he--he--the eagle's made special, and he can go so high if the hawk trying to follow him, the hawk would disintegrate in the air. He just couldn't follow him; his feathers would fall out; he'd come apart. But the eagle is a special bird. Now, what good would it do him to go way up there in the air unless he could see way off? He'd be blind himself. But see, nature has provided the eagle with an eye that he can see as high till you can hardly see the eagle yourself: some of them fourteen feet across their wings. You can hardly see the eagle with your eye. But he can see any little moving object on the ground. Now, God likened His prophets, His preachers, to eagles. He calls Himself, "Jehovah Eagle." He's a eagle Himself.<ref>FORMER.AND.LATTER.RAIN_  PHOENIX.AZ  THURSDAY_  60-0303</ref>

 An old friend of our family, William Booth-Clibborn, once told William Branham, "Brother Branham, you just don’t know your Bible.” (61-0218 - Balm In Gilead) . I personally think his statement was correct.  William Branham's understanding of scripture was significantly flawed.  He was a fan of proof texts and would take passages of the Bible completely out of context to support his own views.  He would read his thoughts into the Bible rather allowing scripture to speak from the plain meaning of the text.
