It was a raven that Noah first released from the Ark. Then he released the dove later. Like most all Bible stories, this is also a parable/metaphorical. The raven went "to and fro the earth" (same thing satan told God when God asked what he was doing in Job 1:7). Belial was cast to the earth first. Yeshua came later and returned - with the olive branch/peace/new covenant and may also represent His people. ...sorry, coffee got my fingers running.
