Although an eagle isn't directly mentioned in the book of Genesis, it does have an implied mention. at Gen. 3:24, Cherubs, as well as a flaming sword, are stationed at the entrance to the Garden of Eden to prevent Adam and Eve from re-entering.

These Cherubs have bodies like men, 4 wings, and the hands of a man under the wings, and each one has 4 faces: a man, a bull, a lion, and an eagle--on the 4 corresponding sides of their faces. (Ezekiel 1:10)

Throughout the Law of Moses, eagles are used to symbolize heavenly wisdom, farsightedness, and swiftness. (Job 39:27, 29. Deuteronomy 28:49)

We can gather from this that since the Cherub had a head like that of a "flying eagle", and the role that Cherubs play in carrying out God's will, that this would encompass all of these qualities as they are needed.(Revelation 4:7, 8:13)

Since God's name, יהוה‎, translated YHWH, and pronounced "Yahweh" or "Jehovah" literally means "He Causes to Become", he would undoubtedly put any of this eagle's symbolic qualities to use as he deems necessary, whether swiftness, farsightedness, or great wisdom.

What is the biblical significance of the Bald Eagle?

Eagles are known for their vision and Native American cultures believe they are able to see into the near future. If you happen to see one fly by it is a sign that you are on the right life path, or if you are unsure about a tough decision or situation they are telling you things will work out fine. If the eagle lands somewhere you should watch the eagle's mannerisms and try to interpret their body language as they are trying to tell you something specific to you.
