Bible Question: 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). |
Bible Answer: 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 |
