1 | WHERE are they taken? | Luke 17:36 | CDBJ | 140009 | ||
Hi Doc, I know I heard Bob, pastor Thieme, teach what I have commented on with connection to Luke 17:36 and the Hebrew idiom. I was under his teaching for close to 25 years and he has thousands of hour of studies on tapes, since he has held services six days a week for over 50 years, but to put the exact time and date on it escapes me. Pastor Thieme speaks fluent Hebrew and Koine, along with several other dialects of Greek. Billy Graham once made the statement, “Pastor Thieme is one of the best scholars alive in the United States when it comes to the Hebrew and Greek of the Bible.” When one is on the back side of sixty, as I am, the old computer just doesn't work like it did when I was in my thirties. I sure wish I could help you more but if you would get a hold of them at Berachah Church I am sure the could pinpoint what was taught and even send you the tape. I wish I could do better, CDBJ |

He sure sounds like a great pastor and teacher, sir! I wasn't trying to impune anyone or anything -- including your memory! It certainly sounds like Pastor Thieme would be the kind of scholar that would know this kind of thing. My tendency is to try to verify it when I hear something like this. Sorry, just the way I am! Is it possible that you Thieme meant an Hebrew proverb rather than an idiom? I found in the commentary by the scholars Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset, and David Brown the following: "As birds of prey scent out the carrion, so wherever is found a mass of incurable moral and spiritual corruption, there will be seen alighting the ministers of divine judgment," a proverbial saying terrifically verified at the destruction of Jerusalem, and many times since, though its most tremendous illustration will be at the world's final day. |

Hi Doc, I assumed that you checked most of the popular commentaries, but then I am not sure what you have available to you? Look what I found in one of the first ones I checked! Hard Sayings Of The Bible, “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather” means in effect “Where there is a situation ripe for judgment, there the judgment will fall.” That must be the blind squirrel and the acorn concept, but you still might want to check out pastor Thieme, or as some of us call him, “Didaskalos”, CDBJ |
