‏ Revelation of John 8:13

8:13  a The ancients regarded the eagle as a symbolic messenger of God (see 4 Ezra 11:7-8; 2 Baruch 77:19-26).

• Terror, terror, terror: A threefold announcement would be recognized as a message from God (see Acts 10:16  b).

• The terror (Greek ouai) that sounded like an eagle’s screech was directed against humans of this world who were not among God’s faithful people (Rev 6:10  c; 9:4  d, 20  e).
