19 “All the firstborn males that are born in your herd and your flock you are to consecrate to Adonai your God. You are to do no work with the firstborn of your herd or shear the firstborn of your flock. 20 You are to eat it before Adonai your God year after year in the place Adonai chooses—you and your household. 21 But if it has any blemish—if it is lame or blind or has any serious blemish—you are not to sacrifice it to Adonai your God. 22 You are to eat it within your gates, the unclean and the clean together, just as they eat the gazelle or deer. 23 Only its blood you are not to eat—you must pour it out on the ground like water. Three Harvest Festivals16 “Observe the month of Aviv and keep the Passover to Adonai your God, for in the month of Aviv[a] Adonai your God brought you out from Egypt by night. 2 You are to sacrifice the Passover offering to Adonai your God, from the flock and the herd, in the place Adonai chooses to make His Name dwell. 3 You are not to eat hametz with it. For seven days you are to eat matzot with it, the bread of affliction—for you came out from the land of Egypt in haste. Do this so that all the days of your life you will remember the day when you came out from the land of Egypt. 4 No hametz should be seen with you in all your territory for seven days, and none of the meat you sacrifice on the evening of the first day may be left overnight until the morning. 5 You may not sacrifice the Passover offering within any of your gates that Adonai your God is giving you. 6 Rather, at the place Adonai your God chooses to make His Name dwell, there you will sacrifice the Passover offering in the evening at sunset—the time of your coming out from Egypt. 7 You are to cook and eat it at the place Adonai your God chooses, then you will turn around in the morning and journey home. 8 For six days you are to eat matzot. On the seventh day there is to be a solemn gathering for Adonai your God—on it you are to do no work. 9 Seven weeks you are to count for yourself—from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you will begin to count seven weeks. 10 Then you will keep the Feast of Shavuot[b] to Adonai your God with a measure of a freewill offering from your hand, which you are to give according to how Adonai your God blesses you. 11 So you will rejoice before Adonai your God in the place Adonai your God chooses to make His Name dwell—you, your son and daughter, slave and maid, Levite and outsider, orphan and widow in your midst. 12 You will remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and you are to take care and do these statutes. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2015%3A19%E2%80%9316%3A17&version=TLV |

And it shall be that everyone who calls 22 “Men of Israel, hear these words! Yeshua ha-Natzrati—a Man authenticated to you by God with mighty deeds and wonders and signs God performed through Him in your midst, as you yourselves know— 23 this Yeshua, given over by God’s predetermined plan and foreknowledge, nailed to the cross by the hand of lawless men, you killed. 24 But God raised Him up, releasing Him from the pains of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held by it. 25 For David says about Him, ‘I saw Adonai always before me, 29 “Brothers, I can confidently tell you that the patriarch David died and was buried—his tomb is with us to this day. 30 So because he was a prophet and knew God had sworn with an oath to him to seat one of his descendants on his throne, [c] 31 David saw beforehand and spoke of Messiah’s resurrection—that He was not abandoned to Sheol, and His body did not see decay.[d] 32 “This Yeshua God raised up—we all are witnesses! 33 Therefore, being exalted to the right hand of God and receiving from the Father the promise of the Ruach ha-Kodesh, He poured out this—what you now see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens; yet he himself says, ‘Adonai said to my Lord, 36 “Therefore let the whole house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him—this Yeshua whom you had crucified—both Lord and Messiah!” Teshuvah—Thousands Immersed37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the rest of the emissaries, “Fellow brethren, what shall we do?” https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%202%3A21%E2%80%9342&version=TLV |

Radio Logo
EagleWings Online Radio Logo
The introduction of the EagleWings Online Radio logo is a monumental moment that extends beyond a mere branding exercise. This emblem, richly layered
with symbolism and intent, embodies the soul, vision, and unwavering dedication of EagleWings Online Radio, an important and integral ministry extension of Eagle Wings Charismatic Ministries International (EWCMI). Every element within this insignia has been thoughtfully created to resonate deeply with the core values and aspirations of the ministry.
The Circular Display
At its core, the circular form of the logo transcends mere aesthetic choice. It encapsulates the profound philosophy of unity, continuity, and wholeness. By adopting this universal shape, the logo speaks of a radio station that is not confined by geographical boundaries. Instead, it reaches out, touching the hearts and souls of believers across continents, cultures, and languages. This circle, representing our planet, becomes a symbol of global outreach, an emblematic hug that embraces every listener in its spiritual fold.
Radiating Beams
The radiant beams originating from the logo's core effectively symbolize the dual function of the station. Superficially, they represent the far-reaching and omnipresent nature of radio waves, seamlessly transmitting the Gospel's teachings and messages to even the most remote locales on Earth. But on a more profound level, these beams serve as a metaphor for the Holy Spirit's enlightening power, influencing hearts, directing souls, and guiding countless toward spiritual growth. Furthermore, these beams, unrestricted in their direction, signify the diverse array of musical styles and languages featured on EagleWings Online Radio, emphasizing the station's global reach.
Blue, Gold, and Orange
Color plays a crucial role in lending depth and meaning to the logo. The dominant royal blue is not merely a color but a tribute to the divine royalty of Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Jesus the Christ. It serves as a constant reminder of His supreme reign, His benevolent rule that stretches across time and space. In contrast, the gold nuances emphasize His unparalleled purity, reminding us of the invaluable teachings He imparted. The vibrant shade of orange, reminiscent of a flame, captures the essence of the Holy Spirit - fiery, passionate, and transformative.
Eagle Wings
The eagle's wings, gracefully spanning the emblem, carry multifold meanings. They epitomize the expansive distribution and Proclamation of God's Word, soaring across barriers to touch myriad lives. Additionally, they serve as a comforting assurance of God's promise: His eternal protection, His unwavering vigilance, and His sheltering embrace that shields His followers from worldly tribulations.
A Microphone Invitation
Centered in this rich tapestry of symbols is the microphone. More than a broadcasting tool, it stands as an open invitation, a beacon for like-minded ministries and artists. It encourages them to join hands with EagleWings, to amplify their voices, and to spread their God-centered messages to an eager global audience.
A distressed look
The vintage and distressed appearance of the EagleWings Online Radio logo is a deliberate design choice, evoking a sense of timelessness and enduring commitment. Such a design choice resonates with the idea that while the medium of radio and technology may evolve, the timeless messages of the Gospel and the enduring principles of the ministry remain constant. This worn-out aesthetic also creates a nostalgic connection, reminiscent of the rich history and heritage of faith. By combining the modernity of online radio with a design that has an age-old feel, the logo beautifully bridges the past with the present, reflecting the ministry's dedication to preserving traditional values while embracing contemporary methods of outreach.
All with All
In totality, the EagleWings Online Radio logo is not just an emblem; it's a narrative. A story of faith, commitment, and divine purpose. It weaves together the station's past, present, and future, promising listeners a spiritual sanctuary and reaffirming its pledge to remain a beacon of hope, enlightenment, and unity in the world.
