       The next verse states: “Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!”” (Revelation 8:13, ESV). After these judgments are accomplished, John tells us that he sees an eagle flying directly overhead. This could be a number of different types of eagles, though most of us will bring to mind a Bald Eagle. The eagle, then, flies over the earth, whether of regular size or supernatural size we don’t know, but his voice can be heard by all. He tells the inhabitants of the earth, those who are still alive after all of these plagues, that there is greater destruction to come. The eagle has the ability to speak here, as animals, we know, in their naturalistic and pure form, before the fall, may have all been able to speak. The eagle says the warning “Woe” three times which shows the frightening warning of what is to come, and the fact that three more Trumpet Judgments are to come.
