The Turtledove’s Cry, A Song of Remembrance
Sacred Turtledove is a Rare Fowl Being from the Hebrew Age, costing 2 faith with 2 strength and 1 hope. Its special ability, Prophecy, activates when the Being is Created, allowing you to draw a verse and replenish your hand with fresh Scripture-based resources. As part of the Fowl tribe, it fits beautifully into tribal decks, supports draw-heavy control strategies, and brings early-game consistency for combo and tempo-based builds.
God doesn't despise the small beginnings
The turtledove holds a special place in the heart of Scripture. Gentle, pure, and faithful, it became a symbol of devotion and worship in Israel’s offering system. In Leviticus, it was the humble gift of the poor, a sign that even the least among the people could draw near to God.
The turtledove represents those who belong to the Lord, the ones who have nothing but Him. In the Psalm, it speaks of the people of God surrounded by darkness and enemies, yet held close by the Lord. Their souls cry out not for vengeance, but for deliverance. It’s a reminder that God never forgets His own. Even when the world rises against His people, He sees, He knows, and He remembers. The sacred turtledove soars as a symbol of the faithful who are heard, loved, and lifted.
This card's verse is Psalms 74:19:
"O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever."
This bird whispers of covenant and care. Its wings carry not only innocence, but the prayers of the congregation. In every offering, in every cry, in every verse drawn by faith, God shows He is near to the poor in spirit. The Sacred Turtledove reminds us that worship isn’t measured in riches, but in the heart. And every single heart offered in faith is remembered forever.
Jesus, Heaven’s Offering and the Voice of the Poor
Jesus is the fulfillment of the turtledove’s plea. He came lowly, born in a stable, offering Himself for all. He is the Lamb of God and the gentle Savior. And just like the dove in Psalm 74, He was surrounded by the wicked, yet never forgotten by the Father. When He cried out from the cross, it was not abandonment, it was fulfillment. He bore our poverty so we could inherit His kingdom.
His life fulfilled the deepest meaning of every offering. He was the pure sacrifice, given for the poor in spirit, the weak, and the broken. And now, those who call upon His name are lifted like the turtledove, drawn up by grace. “He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill.” – Psalm 113:7. We are not forsaken. We are remembered, redeemed, and restored in Christ.
Believer, your voice is heard in heaven. When you feel small, or pressed down, or forgotten, remember the Turtledove. God doesn’t overlook the poor, the quiet, or the humble. He sent His Son to draw you near, and every time you open His Word, every time you lift your heart in faith, He fills you again. You are not just remembered, you are rejoiced over.
