There | There are no reports in ornithological journals or from the study of eagles by scientists that would indicate that eagles carry their young on their wings. | ||
What does happen is that young eagles start to hop around the nest. They will test their wings in the wind and gradually build up strength in their muscles sufficient to start rudimentary flying. They will glide to nearby branches. Once they actually begin to fly they are then known as "fledglings". | What does happen is that young eagles start to hop around the nest.

==Doesn't the Bible talk about this?== | |||
There are a couple of places in the KJV that refer to this phenomena: | |||
:''Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.<ref>The Holy Bible: King James Version, Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version. (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009), Ex 19:4.</ref> | |||
:''...like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them aloft.<ref>The New International Version (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2011), Dt 32:11.</ref> | |||
===Is the Bible talking about an eagle?=== | |||
In Micah 1:16 we read: | |||
:''Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; Enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; For they are gone into captivity from thee.<ref>The Holy Bible: King James Version, Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version. (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009), Mic 1:16.</ref> | |||
There are a couple of points to make about this passage: | |||
Shave your head in mourning | |||
for the children in whom you delight; | |||
make yourself as bald as the vulture, | |||
for they will go from you into exile. | |||
The New International Version (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2011), Mic 1:16. | |||
William Branham did not see the eaglets on the wings of their mother. And we would challenge any followers of William Branham to send us evidence that this actually happens in real life. | William Branham did not see the eaglets on the wings of their mother.
