<TITLE>11. Par -</TITLE>L-14-8 This old eagle, when she gets ready to build her nest, she goes way high in the rocks, and she builds her nest high. Because she's got... She wants to protect her little ones.
That's the way God does. He lifts His church into a place, if you'll just let Him, and He'll put you into a place where you'll be away from the vultures of the earth. Certainly He will.
How much different is it from the chicken. The chicken's a bird too, but he builds his nest out in the barnyard somewhere, down in the ground where weasels, and snakes, and everything else can get his young. He don't know nothing about the heavenly, yet he's a bird; maybe a denominational brother, but be--but he's--he's on the ground. He don't know nothing about the heavenly, flying high, somewhere way up there where it's blue and pretty.

L-15-3 The old mother eagle, when she makes her nest... How I've watched them many times go out and get the big sticks, and put them down into them rocks, and pull it over here with their big beak, and tie it down, and take briar vines, and tie it around. And the inside of the nest is made of briars mostly to tie the big kind of poles like together that she packs up there; but she anchors that nest so there's no storm can blow it away.

L-15-4 I'm glad. "Upon this Rock I'll build My church, and the gates of hell can't prevail against It." What kind of a rock? A spiritual revelation.
"Who does man say I, the Son of man am?"
"Some say Elias, some say Moses."
"But what about you?"
Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of God."
"Blessed art thou, Simon, the son of Jonas. Flesh and blood didn't reveal this to you. You never learned this in a seminary. You never learned this by somebody telling you. But My Father which is in heaven, has revealed this to you. Upon this Rock I'll build My church, and the gates of hell can't prevail against it. The storms of life will never shake it."

L-15-6 That's the reason He said He was an Eagle. He built the nest. Then the old mother eagle, making ready for her little ones to be born, she goes out, and she gets everything that she can, soft leaves; she takes her big beak and puts them back in the corners and fixes up all the stickers around so they won't stick the little ones. She goes out and gets her a lamb or either a rabbit or something, eats the meat of it and then takes the--the hair, the fur off of it and daubs the nest up. Oh, she makes it real pretty for her little ones to come.
That's the way Jehovah Eagle does too. He just fixes it all up. Oh, my, when the new baby's born, why, in the Kingdom of God, he just... He thinks he can walk, but he's always bumping up and down and running around; but he's having a good time. He's in the nest where it's all feathered you know. The--the falls don't hurt. And so, that's the way mother Jehovah Eagle does. She fixes her nest real fluffy and nice for her little ones that's going to be born.

L-16-2 After while the eggs come. Along comes the little eagle, and she goes down, her and papa eagle, and they feed all their little ones till they get pretty good size.
Then when they get to a certain size... Now, mama eagle is going to be positive that them eagles ain't going to be anything like chickens. That's right. She don't want them earthbound. They're eagles, and she knows they're eagles.
That's the way Jehovah Eagle does. He don't want us chickens, barnyard chickens. He wants us to be eagles, up in the blue, the nature of us, to be up there where we're free. "He, who the Son has made free, is free indeed." There, wants them up there.
