The dove is a picture of the Holy Spirit. This symbol became clear when He manifested as a dove and rested upon Jesus at the River Jordan.
“Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”” (Luke 3:21-22 WEB)
Each Hebrew letter represents a different picture. I believe the Holy Spirit brought this to my attention as I was preparing this message. The Hebrew word for "dove" is "yonah" which comprises the Hebrew letters: yod (hand), vav (nail), nun (child), hei (Grace).
This forms the meaning of: the hand nailed for the child of Grace.
"The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God." (Romans 8:16 NKJV)
This is main ministry of the Holy Spirit to believers today: to bear witness with our spirit, assuring us of our righteousness in Christ.
Even when we fail at times due to our own foolishness, we are still righteous children of Grace. The Holy Spirit saw Jesus' hands nailed at the cross for us. He saw the precious blood that poured out, which paid the debt we owed for all our sins.
Watch my sermon “Avoid the Raven and Embrace the Dove” to learn about the revelation of the "raven" and the “dove” in the Hebrew language, and also how these birds point to Jesus in the story of Noah’s ark: https://www.facebook.com/miltongohblog/videos/786254705049168/?vh=e
