Did you know that
the word dove is mentioned in the bible thirty one times?
Everybody probably knows the story of Noah and the ark,
|
6 And
it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the
window of the ark which he had made:
7 And
he sent forth a raven, which went forth to
and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 Also
he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from
off the face of the ground;
9 But
the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned
unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole
earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in
unto him into the ark.
10 And
he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out
of the ark;
11 And
the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an
olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from
off the earth.
12 And
he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which
returned not again unto him any more. |
But not everybody knows the story of when Jesus was baptized that a dove
descended
upon him.
|
21 Now
when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also
being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 And
the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and
a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in
thee I am well pleased. |
So in remembrance of those that has gone on before us we
release these doves,
signifying the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit.
