Eagles removed from In-Danger List.

In 1963 Prayer and Bible reading were removed from U.S. public schools by the Supreme Court. That same year there were only 417 eagle pairs left in all of America.

In 1973 our country made it legal to murder babies, that same year bald eagles were put on the Endangered Species Act. This generation of babies (prophets) has been "In Danger" for 34 years. This is another signpost that abortion is gonna end and the babies will no longer be "In Danger." God is taking them off of the "In Danger" List!! (If the church prays!)

Now in 2007 there is more prayer among the youth in churches, schools and on campuses then ever before in history. At the same time there are 10,000 eagle pairs again flourishing on our soil.

Also Art Katz passed away on the same day June 28th, 2007. One eagle falls into the ground and dies and a whole generation WILL BE BORN to rise and fly!

I would love to hear some comments and more prophetic insight concerning this...



Bald Eagle Soars Off Endangered Species List
It’s official!
After nearly disappearing from most of the U.S., the bald eagle is now flourishing and no longer needs the protection of the Endangered Species Act. The nation’s symbol has recovered from an all-time low of 417 nesting pairs in 1963 to an estimated high of 9,789 breeding pairs today, and will be removed from the list of threatened and endangered species.
To ensure that eagles continue to thrive, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will work with state wildlife agencies to monitor eagles for at least five years. If it appears that bald eagles again need the protection of the Endangered Species Act, the Service can propose to relist the species. The Service is also making the draft post-delisting monitoring plan available and is soliciting public comment for 90 days.
The bald eagle first gained federal protection in 1940, under what was later named the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. The law curbed illegal hunting and shooting of eagles for their feathers, but they soon fell victim to another threat: DDT. The widespread use of the pesticide DDT after World War II caused eagle populations to plummet towards extinction. When DDT washed off into waterways, it was absorbed by aquatic plants and animals. When eagles ate contaminated fish, they would then be poisoned. DDT prevented the proper formulation of calcium necessary to produce strong eggshells. Consequently, the thinned eggshells cracked when an adult bird tired to incubate them. Widespread reproductive failure and a precipitous decline in numbers followed. As a result, the bald eagle was protected in 1967 under the precursor to the Endangered Species Act. The eagle continued to be protected when the Endangered Species Act of 1973 was enacted.
The legal protections given the species by these statutes, along with a crucial decision by the Environmental Protection Agency to ban the general use of DDT in 1972, provided the springboard for the Service and its partners to accelerate recovery through captive breeding programs, reintroductions, law enforcement efforts, protection of habitat around nest sites and land purchase and preservation activities.
The bald eagle will continue to be protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

Interesting post. I was reading the Milwaukee newspaper this morning and there was an article about the first bald eagle to be born in the Milwaukee (my current residency) metro area in 100 years. Right now it is only 3 months old but they are expecting it to spread it's wings and fly any day now. I don't have much insight on your post but I found it interesting that two hours after reading about this bald eagle in the paper I read your prophetic post on eagles.
