Dear Doves,

 

Matthew 24:28

"For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together."

 

Luke 17:37

"Whever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together."

 

Both of the preceeding Scriptures, which are both giving us the 'time-frame of the rapture',  and are also both referring to the following Scripture:

 

Ezeliel 39:4 & 17

"....I will give you to the birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured."

"And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field: Assemble yourselves and come; Gather together from all sides to My sacrificial meal which I am sacrificing for you, a great sacrificial meal on the mountains of Israel........You shall be filled at My table.....with all the men of war, says the Lord God."

 

Therefore, we are told in these Scriptures that the rapture will happen at the end of the "shortened" Gog-Magog War in Israel at the time the eagles are gathered together to devour the dead carcasses and bodies of the men of the war of the Gog-Magog army after God kills them  on the mountains of Israel.

 

Matthew 24:28 and Luke 17:37 and Ezekiel 39:4 & 17 are all referring to the very same time-frame surrounding the rapture.

 

According to Your Word, come Lord Jesus!
