Which verses mentioned the Eagle and Bear to fight each other?
371801
As far as I know this is the only passage that mentions the word eagle and a bear.\n\nDaniel 7:3  And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.  (4)  The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.  (5)  And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.\n\nMost scholars wouldn't say these beasts represent the United States and Russia. However, it's possible that this prophecy could have a near and a far fulfillment.\n\nIn the near fulfillment the lion with wings of an eagle is supposed to represent Babylon and the Bear is supposed to represent the Medio/Persian empire.\n\nhttp://web.express56.com/~bromar/

Jehovah's Witnesses look to the bible itself as the source of their teachings. This passage from Revelation seems to proceed directly from a description of Armageddon to a description of Christ's Millennial Rule.\n\n(Revelation 19:11-20:6) And I saw the heaven opened, and, look! a white horse. And the one seated upon it is called Faithful and True, and he judges and carries on war in righteousness. 12 His eyes are a fiery flame, and upon his head are many diadems. He has a name written that no one knows but he himself, 13 and he is arrayed with an outer garment sprinkled with blood, and the name he is called is The Word of God. 14 Also, the armies that were in heaven were following him on white horses, and they were clothed in white, clean, fine linen. 15 And out of his mouth there protrudes a sharp long sword, that he may strike the nations with it, and he will shepherd them with a rod of iron. He treads too the winepress of the anger of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 And upon his outer garment, even upon his thigh, he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. 17 I saw also an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice and said to all the birds that fly in midheaven: “Come here, be gathered together to the great evening meal of God, 18 that YOU may eat the fleshy parts of kings and the fleshy parts of military commanders and the fleshy parts of strong men and the fleshy parts of horses and of those seated upon them, and the fleshy parts of all, of freemen as well as of slaves and of small ones and great.” 19 And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage the war with the one seated on the horse and with his army. 20 And the wild beast was caught, and along with it the false prophet that performed in front of it the signs with which he misled those who received the mark of the wild beast and those who render worship to its image. While still alive, they both were hurled into the fiery lake that burns with sulphur. 21 But the rest were killed off with the long sword of the one seated on the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth. And all the birds were filled from the fleshy parts of them. 20 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 And he hurled him into the abyss and shut [it] and sealed [it] over him, that he might not mislead the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be let loose for a little while. 4 And I saw thrones, and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them. Yes, I saw the souls of those executed with the ax for the witness they bore to Jesus and for speaking about God, and those who had worshiped neither the wild beast nor its image and who had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand. And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years.\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/jt/article_04.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/lmn/article_10.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/dg/article_10.htm\n\n\nFollowup to additional question:\n\nChrist is and becomes a King in more than one sense.\n\nChrist became a king immediately upon his death, but only of the Kingdom of the son of his love (the Christian congregation).\n(Colossians 1:13-14) He [Christ Jesus] delivered us from the authority of the darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love, 14 by means of whom we have our release by ransom,

Gladly.\n\nThe Wild Beast of chapter 13 speaks "blasphemies" and "great things" vs. 6 and 7 tell us.  The prophecy of Daniel 7:7,8 speak very similarly of the fourth beast of his vision.  Therefore, there must be at least some similarities between the two.  In verse 7 of Revelation, it also says that authority was given it to "wage war with the holy ones and conquer them, and authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation."  So this beast would have control over the world and would persecute God's "holy ones".  It also, as verses 16 and 17 bring out, would have the authority to control who can buy or sell things, who would have the power to have business, and the like.  Even so far as to say in verse 15, he could say life or death of a person.  Certainly, this would be symbolic of someone who had earthly control and power.  No doubt this beast would be ruled and controlled by the "ruler of this world" Satan the Devil.  However, these descriptions aptly describe the world's governments as a whole, who have, throughout history, told people what they ought and ought not to do, controlling business and the like, as well as persecute God's people.  Even religious leaders have poked their head into the business of governments and told them what to do and what not to do.  Interestingly, verse three says it got a deathstroke but then came back and got healed.  This happened quite in line with the League of Nations' evolution into the United Nations, as they emerged from a "deathstroke" in WWII.  The Wild Beast, controlling the world, would aptly then fit the World's Nations as they, unknowingly led along by Satan, persecute and rule mankind.

sure you don't mean beat. this is probably one of the most famous quotes in the bible and is on a statue in front of the UN\n\nIsaiah 2:4  He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.

These verses aren't saying the same things at all, and you aren't understanding them because you are looking at them out of context.  These are all from the NRS.\n\nGen 3:  14 The Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you among all animals and among all wild creatures; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will strike your head, and you will strike his heel."\n\n16 To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pangs in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."\nhttp://bible1.crosswalk.com/OnlineStudyBible/bible.cgi?word=Genesis+2&section=0&version=nrs&new=1&oq=&NavBook=ge&NavGo=2&NavNextChapter=%3E%3E&NavCurrentChapter=2\n\nHere in Genesis 3:16, YHVH is telling Eve that her punishment for eating of the Tree of Knowledge is to have pain during childbirth, and yet to still desire sexual relations with her husband in spite of it; that her husband will rule over her on account of her desire for sexual relations with him.\n\nGen 4: 3 In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, 4 and Abel for his part brought of the firstlings of his flock, their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.\n\n6 The Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it." \nhttp://bible1.crosswalk.com/OnlineStudyBible/bible.cgi?passage=ge+4&version=nrs&language=en&showtools=0\n\nHere, in Gen 4:7, YHVH is telling Cain that if he does good things he will be happy; that Cain should desire to do good things because good things desire Cain to make good things manifest.  But evil things also desire Cain to make evil things manifest, and so Cain must learn to control himself - to gain mastery over himself - in order to differentiate between good and evil, and then presumably choose good over evil because man's natural state is godlike and therefore good.

yes. The joke is: "If you and I are being chased by a bear, I don't have to run faster than the bear, I just have to run faster than you."

KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE - "Achieve two objectives with a single effort. It would be remarkable indeed if someone slinging a stone at a bird got one bird, let alone two. Ovid had a similar expression in Latin nearly 2,000 years ago. Related phrases were in English and French literature by the 16th century. Thomas Hobbes used the modern version in a work on liberty in 1656: 'T. H. thinks to kill two birds with one stone, and satisfy two arguments with one answer.'"

I remember a similar poem from Peter Opie’s The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren, published in 1959:\n\n"One bright day, in the middle of the night.  Two dead men got up to fight.  Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other.  A deaf policeman heard the noise and came and shot the two dead boys.  And if you don't believe this lie is true, ask the blindman, he saw it too."\n\nalong with:\n\nOnce upon a time there were two skunks; one named In, the other named Out.  Now when In was in, Out was out.  And when Out was in, In was out.  Well, one day, Out was in and In was out.  The Mother Skunk said, "Out, go out and bring In in."  So, Out went out and brought In in.  The Mother Skunk asked, "How did you find In so quick, Out?"  Out replied, "In stinked.".

These were figurative and not literal representations.\n In Genesis...\nGen 3:1  Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? \nSatan is represented as a serpent (snake) here..alludes to his sneaky nature and the poison which he spreads..\n\nIn Nehemiah..\nNeh 2:13  And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well...\nthe word translated in from Hebrew to mean dragon actually means...sea serpent or jackal\n\nIn Revelations...\nRev 20:2  And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, \n\nThe word used for dragon, here, means...(from Strong's greek and hebrew Dictionaries)\n"a fabulous kind of serpent (perhaps as supposed to fascinate)"\n\nThe Bible is not endorsing the idea of a literal flying, firebreathing reptile. It is symbolism..so that only the "chosen" would understand.\n\nHere's an example:\n(Rev 17:7)  And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.\n\n(Rev 17:8)  The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.\n(Rev 17:9)  And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.\n(Rev 17:10)  And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.\n(Rev 17:11)  And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.\n(Rev 17:12)  And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.\n(Rev 17:13)  These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.\n(Rev 17:14)  These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

On Children\n\nAnd a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, "Speak to us of Children." \n\nAnd he said: \n\nYour children are not your children. \n\nThey are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. \n\nThey come through you but not from you, \n\nAnd though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. \n\nYou may give them your love but not your thoughts. \n\nFor they have their own thoughts. \n\nYou may house their bodies but not their souls, \n\nFor their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. \n\nYou may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. \n\nFor life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. \n\nYou are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. \n\nThe archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. \n\nLet your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; \n\nFor even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

A Golden Eagle's muscles are about 3 times as powerful as a humans per pound.  They can easily crush a rabbit or large hare.  A harpy eagle could probably have you for lunch if he caught you unaware.  They aren't real fast in straight flight, probably 50 mph but can fly very fast in a stoop, over 70 mph.  Strong and powerful are synonyms so dido for the first sentence.

I have not heard of that quote before.\n\nJesus said: Luke 14:27 (NKJV)  \n    And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. \n\n\nMatthew 11:28-30 (NKJV)  \n    Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

This verse was meant to be an example of the usefulness of tolerence - to not be quick to judge or fight - yet so many misconstrue it to mean that Christians should not show anger or fight - which is not true - Christ himself showed anger when he cleared the temple of the money changers who had turned the place of worship into a place of business - many good men of God have gone into battle at His command - I believe what this verse intends is that we as Christians set an example for peace and choose our battles - it does not mean we are cowards and do not take a stand - as the story goes "the Bible only says once!"
