These acts demonstrated God's power and judgment against Egypt's false gods and oppressive regime. The firsthand experience of these events served to strengthen the Israelites' faith and trust in God's sovereignty and deliverance.<p><b>and how I carried you on eagles’ wings</b><br>The imagery of being carried on eagles' wings symbolizes God's protection, care, and swift deliverance. Eagles are known for their strength and ability to soar high above danger, representing God's ability to lift His people out of peril. This metaphor also suggests a nurturing aspect, as eagles are known to care for their young. It reflects God's guidance and provision during the Israelites' journey through the wilderness.<p><b>and brought you to Myself</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the purpose of God's deliverance: to bring the Israelites into a covenant relationship with Him. It signifies not just physical liberation but a spiritual calling to be God's chosen people. This relationship is foundational for the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai, which follows in the subsequent chapters. It also foreshadows the New Covenant through Jesus Christ, who brings believers into a personal relationship with God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The speaker in this verse, reminding the Israelites of His mighty acts and His protective care.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The recipients of God's message, who were delivered from slavery in Egypt and are now at Mount Sinai.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/e/egypt.htm">Egypt</a></b><br>The place of bondage from which the Israelites were delivered by God's power.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/m/mount_sinai.htm">Mount Sinai</a></b><br>The location where God is speaking to Moses and the Israelites, preparing to give them the Law.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/e/eagles'_wings.htm">Eagles' Wings</a></b><br>A metaphor used by God to describe His care and deliverance, symbolizing strength and protection.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_deliverance.htm">God's Deliverance</a></b><br>Reflect on how God has delivered you from past difficulties, just as He delivered the Israelites from Egypt.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/d/divine_protection.htm">Divine Protection</a></b><br>Trust in God's ongoing protection and care, as symbolized by the imagery of eagles' wings.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/covenant_relationship.htm">Covenant Relationship</a></b><br>Recognize that God brought the Israelites to Himself, emphasizing the importance of a personal relationship with Him.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/gratitude_for_past_acts.htm">Gratitude for Past Acts</a></b><br>Cultivate a heart of gratitude by remembering and acknowledging God's past acts of deliverance and provision.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/strength_in_god.htm">Strength in God</a></b><br>Draw strength from God, knowing that He empowers and sustains those who trust in Him.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_exodus_19.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Exodus 19</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what's_the_essence_of_god's_love.htm">What is the essence of God's love for humanity?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_did_god_grant_israel_a_king.htm">If God disapproved of Israel’s request for a king (1 Samuel 8:7), why did He still grant it? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_did_moses_mean_by_'let_my_people_go'.htm">What did Moses mean by "Let my people go"?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_can_a_merciful_god_justify_this.htm">Psalm 136:10 refers to striking down Egypt’s firstborn; how can a merciful God justify the death of innocent children? </a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/19.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(4) <span class= "bld">I bare you on eagles' wings.</span>--<span class= "bld">Comp. </span><a href="/deuteronomy/32-11.htm" title="As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes them, bears them on her wings:">Deuteronomy 32:11</a>, "As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, <span class= "ital">beareth them upon her wings." </span>When its young are first fledged, the eagle is said to assist them in their flight by flying beneath them, so that they may settle upon its wings or back, if necessary.
