The Accursedness of Owls -
Owls can be very cute and amazing birds as a part of God's creation. However, the owl is also used as a symbol in he Holy Bible, it is associated with idolatry, accursedness, harlotry and wickedness. Owls are considered an 'abomination' to the LORD.
Owls are used by occultists to symbolize 'wisdom' and by many secular companies in their logos, not the least of which is 'Hooters'. This is not by accident. The owl, a night creature, is a symbol of occult knowledge and power.
Below are several of the many references to owls in the King James Bible. The owl is always regarded as an 'unclean bird'
These references in Isaiah are about the LORD's vengeance. Owls are also mentioned several times in Leviticus and Deuteronomy as an 'unclean' bird and an 'abomination to the LORD'.
Isaiah 34:10-15 - King James Version (KJV)
10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.
14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.
15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.
Isaiah 13:21 (Regarding Babylon's Destruction & Desolation.)
"But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
Jeremiah 50:39 39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
Micah 1:7-9 (God's cursing on Judah because of idolatry.)
7 And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
8 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
9 For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Both of these verses are about the feeling of being 'accursed':
Job 30:29 "I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls."
Psalm 102:6 "I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert."
