Bible Question: What was so special about the raven That God used it both with Noah and Elijah ?1st kings 17 vs 4 |
Bible Answer: Hi Delilah44, Not sure if the raven was so special. According to the law, ravens were unclean animals which were forbidden for Jews to consume them as food. In Noah's case, it was used to determine whether the environment (after the Deluge) was safe for the occupants of the Ark to come out. In Elijah's case, God used it to feed the dismayed prophet. To Noah and Elijah, the ravens were indeed special. Are these animals special to you some personal way? The subject how crows are useful to our lives, if that is your concern, should be a forum for environmentalists. I am confident you can find some website to discuss that. Instead of looking at the raven, we should be looking at the omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent God who is gracious, merciful, faithful, unchanging, loving, just, righteous, and caring. He loves the world so much that gave His only begotten Son. Do you believe this? iktoose |
