1 | What does Matthew 24: 28 mean? | Matt 24:28 | heartfire | 19433 | ||
Hello. This has puzzled me for a long time. Does anyone have any idea what this is about. I noted two things: that Jesus was talking about the 2nd coming and that it sounds like a bad thing (corpse, vultures). | ||||||
2 | What does Matthew 24: 28 mean? | Matt 24:28 | Searcher56 | 19452 | ||
Heartfire, welcome to the forum and thank you for your input. Vultures go in and tear into a carcass, which is a dead animal. I don't think they killed the animal, just feed on what remains. This could be either Christ tearing into the dead, corrupt, smelly world ... or the vultures of the world feeding on the people died. The vultures live because something else died. Hope this helps, Searcher |

Thanks for the welcome! Yes, vultures don't kill. They're scavengers. But that isn't exactly very nice-sounding either. Well, at least not like eagles. But honestly, how important do you think understanding this passage is? Would it be okay to just keep it in the back of your head, and just do what's expected (pray/watch/read God's Word)? Well, personally, I think that should be okay. But I'd like to know another's point of view. |

A third view is that Christians, the living, are feeding on the world, the dead. Searcher |

Dear Heartfire...Another view.... When vultures come they come just at the right time. They will circle in the air untill just the right time, in this case waiting for when something is completly dead. When the Son of Man comes it will be just at the right time. When He comes it will be unmistakable (v.27), in God's own time (v.28). When He comes it will be just at the right time. Hope this helps :) God Bless...Jensen |
