Refers to the eagle (or possibly the griffon vulture), a majestic raptor carrying rich symbolic weight in both classical and biblical tradition. Jesus uses the image proverbially — 'where the carcass is, there the eagles will gather' (Matt 24:28; Luke 17:37) — likely evoking vultures converging on the dead, a vivid picture of inevitable judgment. In Revelation, one of the four living creatures has the face of a flying eagle (Rev 4:7), an eagle cries 'woe' in mid-heaven (Rev 8:13), and the persecuted woman receives eagle's wings for escape (Rev 12:14). Translations converge: Spanish 'águila,' French 'aigle,' German 'Adler.'
