VULTURES TOUCHDOWN!























 Recently my Mom and I were sitting on her porch. Suddenly

we kept seeing shadows coming from the roof of the house.

We couldn't figure out what was causing this scene. 

Then two vultures swooped  near where we were sitting.

This action made us tremble in our chairs. We had never 

seen vultures that close before.  They landed on our

street.




















 One of the vultures went in to the woods 

in front of the street. He pulled out a dead animal.

It looked like a cat.  We couldn't get a good look

at the animal because two vultures began fighting.

This was a disgusting sight because the animal was

 getting torn to pieces. Each vulture flew off with

a bloody piece. The sky became filled with other

vultures circulating over the woods.


My neighbor got up close to the vultures to take

pictures on her cell phone. She shot photos of the

vultures eating and fighting. I wouldn't think 

of doing this because those vultures may

have become angry.  Today, was proof

to me that vultures have a phenomenal

sense of smell.


I have read about "survivor of the fittest"

among animals. I never thought I would

witness a close encounter. Seeing predatory 

vultures in action was distasteful to me.


This experience caused me to ponder something.

Are vultures were mentioned in the Bible?

Here are the passages I discovered:



13.  "And these are they which ye shall have in abomination

 among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination:

 the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,"

14.   "And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;" 

 Leviticus 11:13, 14


12.   "But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, 

and the ossifrage, and the ospray," 

"13.  And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind," 

Deuteronomy 14: 12, 13 


"There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's

 eye hath not seen:" 

Job 28:7 


"There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, 

and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be 

gathered, every one with her mate." 

Isaiah 34:15

HAVING EARS TO HEAR!

"Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; 

which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:"

 Jeremiah 5:21 


"To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? 

Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: 

Behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they

 have no delight in it."

 Jeremiah 6:10 


"Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom

 of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."

"And other ( seeds) fell on good ground, and sprang up, and 

bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things,

 he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."

34.  "Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith

 shall it be seasoned?"

35.  "It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men

 cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."


 Luke 14:34, 35


"For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears 

are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against

 them that do evil." 

1 Peter 3:12 


7.  "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith 

unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give

 to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the 

paradise of God." 


17.  "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the

 churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden

 manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new 

name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it." 

Revelation 2:7, 17
