Matthew 24:28

A parable or proverb (Luke 17:37). Just as, wherever a carcase may happen to be, eagles or vultures will invariably be found; so at Christ's second coming, wherever a man dead in trespasses and sins is found, there also will Christ be revealed as an avenging judge. Thus 'the carcase' represents the- wicked, and 'the eagles,' Christ and His avenging angels of judgment. Those who suppose the fall of Jerusalem to be meant, understand by 'the carcase,' the Jews, and by 'the eagles,' the Roman armies.

29-42. Most commentators refer these vv. (in the main) to the Second Advent, though some think that the fall of Jerusalem is still meant.
