Symbolism of Birds: Abundance and Scavengers in Scripture
Ravens and crows symbolize abundance and resourcefulness in biblical contexts. While Matthew uses a more generic term for birds, Luke specifies ravens, emphasizing their scavenging nature. Ravens, as non-kosher birds, represent resilience and adaptability, living off a diverse diet despite being considered unclean. They thrive in circumstances that would challenge other species, showcasing a form of abundance without conventional means like food storage or preparation. This distinction highlights the divine provision for even the most unassuming creatures, illustrating a broader message about trust and abundance in life.
