The dove is mentioned over fifty times in the Bible. Doves and pigeons are closely related and many make reference to them interchangeably, and so do we. Rock doves and pigeons seem to be one in the same; these birds would permanently locate in crevices and not migrate. Our birds are white trained homing pigeons that return to ‘home sweet home’ (in ordered to be fed and loved on). The white dove is symbolic of the Holy Spirit that descended upon Jesus at his baptism (Matthew 3: 16; Mark 1:10; Luke 3:22; John 1:32). In the Old Testament, Noah’s use of the dove was symbolic of God’s reconciliation with humanity (Genesis 8: 8,10). In Genesis 8:8-12, we read, "And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated." Noah first sent out a raven, because it was a strong, aggressive bird and would return to its mate. But the raven only flew over the water and returned to perch on the ark. So Noah looking for a bird better suited to his purpose, turned to one of the most loving and tender birds he knew, the dove. It would not only return to the ark, but would go to the cage of its mate. If it found green food it would regurgitate a portion for her or its young. This is precisely what happened, the dove came back, and Noah saw it feed its mate little green olive leaves (for the dove never carries food in the beak, but swallows and then regurgitates it) to its mate and young. Among the lovers in the Song of Solomon, the dove is a symbol of tender and devoted affection (Song of Solomon 1:15; 2:14). By the prophet Isaiah, the dove is even used in mourning (Isaiah 38:14; 59:11). The prophet Jeremiah points out that doves were migratory, yet he urges people to live in solitary places and be peaceable, loving, and faithful like the rock doves (Jeremiah 48:28). The prophet Hosea compares the dove with people. He believes that like the dove, people appear foolishly trusting and yet at the same time easily frightened (Hosea 7:11; 11:11). It has been said that the dove is the happiest of birds. • "And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding: they call unto Egypt, they go to Assyria" (Hosea 7:11). • "They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will make them to dwell in their houses, saith Yahweh" (Hosea 11:11). |
