“Remember, I pray, the word that You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations; but if you return to Me, and keep My commandments and do them, though some of you were cast out to the farthest part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and bring them to the place which I have chosen as a dwelling for My name.’ ” (Nehemiah 1:8-9 NKJV)

African Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer) by Africaddict
“Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.” (Exodus 19:4 KJV)
One of the first videos shown on the blog was of the African Fish Eagle. That was back when this blog first started up. I have repeatedly shown it over the years.
First my favorite one with the music:
“For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.” (Jeremiah 48:40 KJV)
Now here is a great one to show in slow motion.
“They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.” (Job 9:26 KJV)
What a CREATOR!!
