Bible Question:
Jesus teaches about the second coming. In Luke 17 v34 Where, Lord? they asked. He replied, "Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather." I thought the question was about about where the one was taken to? and also what is meant by Jesus's reply? |
Bible Answer: Greetings, GITS and welcome to the forum. The answer that was given by Jesus in LK 17:37 is what’s know as a Hebraism, i.e. and old Hebrew saying as it were. It actually means that, “Where justice is needed justice will be metered out.” In this case to follow in swift chronological order the wrath of God will be quick in coming upon those left. 2 Thes. 1:6-10 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |
