:''A prophet in the Bible is a eagle. He goes higher than other birds, and he can see way off, things coming.<ref>HEAR.YE.HIM_ CHATTANOOGA.TN SATURDAY_ 58-0301E</ref> | |||
:''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> | |||
