why is it a dove?

[joris]

simple question... why is it a dove?
ow wait, what am I talking about just now? ;) I'm thinking of baptism Jesus accepted, as told in the gospel; when He was baptised... as a dove/like a dove, John saw the Holy Spirit come unto Jesus

Hmm, very good question.
So that is, the Dove leading the LAmb.

I think maybe because the dove may be the meekest of birds like the lamb is the meekest of animals???
Just an idea...

Very true Alana... :)

E-79 Is there some here without the Holy Spirit that would say, "O God, if... I know I've let the world creep into me, and I know when the--what--where the world creeps in, the Holy Spirit took Its flight."
As I preached the other night, the dove and the lamb , is the only two creatures that could dwell together. The dove couldn't dwell with the wolf, neither could the lamb .
So if you are a lamb , the dove will be with you. But if your--if your soul hasn't been shaped up, and your desires, and you measure your life to meet the requirements of to be meek, and humble, and lowly, and be led by the Holy Spirit, would you raise your hand and say, "Brother Branham, remember me, and, God, this is my hand. I want You to give me the Holy Ghost." God bless you, you, you, you. Many of you.

33 But a lamb is so gentle that it can be led. And that's the reason that God represented Christ as the Lamb and Himself as the Dove . And on the day that John baptized Jesus at the river of Jordan, one of the greatest events that had ever taken place, taken place right there. Notice, how beautiful. The Lamb , the meekest of all the creatures of the earth, and the Dove , the meekest of all the fowls of heaven, now, that's the only way that they could ever be united. It's the only way that the Dove would ever come on the Lamb . Now, when the La-- Dove came down, John saw Jesus, and he said, "Behold the Lamb of God, that take away the sins of the world." And John said, "I bare record, seeing the Spirit of God like a Dove coming down, and abiding on Him." Hallelujah. There you are. The Dove and the Lamb united together. That's when God and Man became one. That's when heaven and earth embraced each other. Hallelujah. That's when God was made flesh...?... it; that's when God came down from the Spirit form and was made a Man and dwell among us. That's when all eternity embraced each other. That's when the human fallen race of Adam's people and Jehovah God and every angel come together, when God and man was made one on that great memorial day when John baptized Jesus. Now, what if they would've been a wolf? The sweet cooing of the Dove would've never been able to stand by the wolf.
