fly in Jeremiah 49
FLY
This creature shows up in Jeremiah 49:22: “Behold, he will come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah. The heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Jeremiah 49:22
“Behold, he will come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah. The heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.”
What kids can learn
When you hear fly in Jeremiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Jeremiah 49:22 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
