Bible Note: 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. |
