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: Greetings heartfire! The MacArthur NKJV Study Bible states.. "24:28 the eagles will be gathered together. The location of a carcass is visible from great distances because of the circling carrion birds overhead (cf. Job 39:27-30). Similarly, Christ's return will be clearly evident to all near and far. The same point is made by the lightning in v. 27. The eagle-carcass imagery here also speaks of the judgment that will accompany His return (Rev. 19:21)." - Nolan |
