eagle's wings
The eagle symbolizes strength, power, and freedom, especially in the Bible, it means God's salvation, guidance, and protection.
Even in the Old Testament church, God's hand in the most dramatic event has been compared to an eagle (Exodus 19:4). The church in the New Testament is also not an organization that has to be persecuted and disappear in the middle of history after being persecuted. This is because, in the face of the persecution of a huge dragon trying to devour the church, God attaches the wings of a great eagle to the church to protect it.

The church is an institution supported by God that fulfills God's redemptive work that penetrates the center of human history.
This is God's work, and it is God's activity. So, the church and the saints will be protected and victorious with God's eagle wings.
