Topical Encyclopedia In the Bible, birds are often depicted as creatures that inhabit various terrains, including the mountains. The mountainous regions provide a unique habitat for certain species of birds, and the Scriptures make several references to this natural setting.One of the most notable mentions of birds dwelling in the mountains is found in the Psalms. Psalm 50:11 states, "I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are Mine." This verse highlights God's omniscience and ownership over all creation, emphasizing that even the birds in the remote and elevated regions are under His care and knowledge. The mountains are also depicted as places of refuge and safety for birds. In the book of Job, the eagle is described as making its nest on high. Job 39:27-28 says, "Does the eagle soar at your command and make his nest on high? He dwells on a cliff and lodges there; his stronghold is on a rocky crag." This imagery portrays the eagle as a majestic bird that finds security and a vantage point in the mountainous cliffs, symbolizing strength and freedom. Furthermore, the prophet Jeremiah uses the imagery of birds in the mountains to convey a message of desolation and judgment. In Jeremiah 4:25 , it is written, "I looked, and there was no man; all the birds of the air had fled." This passage suggests that the absence of birds in the mountains is a sign of desolation, as these creatures typically inhabit such areas. The mountains also serve as a backdrop for the prophetic visions and messages in the Bible. In Ezekiel 7:16 , the prophet speaks of those who escape judgment, saying, "The survivors will escape and live in the mountains, moaning like doves of the valley, each for his own iniquity." Here, the mountains are depicted as a place of refuge for those who mourn and seek solace, with the doves symbolizing lamentation and repentance. In summary, the Bible presents birds as inhabitants of the mountains, using this imagery to convey themes of God's sovereignty, refuge, judgment, and lamentation. The mountainous regions serve as a natural habitat for these creatures, reflecting the diverse and intricate design of God's creation.
