WHY ARE THE EAGLES GATHERED TOGETHER AND WHAT IS A SIGN OF ?

 

Matthew 24:28

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

 

Luke 17:37

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

 

Both the above Scriptures were given by Jesus in conjunction with and significant to His describing the future rapture. Both of these Scriptures are describing the end of the great tribulation in Israel just before Jesus appears to rapture His Church in Matthew 24:29-31 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days......"

 

They are both in conjunction with the prophecy of the Gog-Magog War which is the great tribulation of Israel also known as the time of  Jacob's Trouble given in;

 

Ezekiel 38:14 and 16

"Therefore Son of Man, prophesy and say to Gog...It will be in the latter days that I WILL BRING YOU AGAINST MY LAND"

 

Ezekiel 39:4

"You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to the birds of prey of every sort......to be devoured."

 

Ezekiel 39:17

"And as for you Son of Man says the Lord God, Speak to every sort of bird...: Assemble yourselves and come, gather together from all sides to My sacrificial meal......on the mountains of Israel that you may eat flesh and drink blood....you shall eat the flesh of the mighty........and drink blood til you are drunk.......You shall be filled at My table with horses (carcasses) and riders (bodies)......with mighty men and all the men of war, says the Lord God."

 

The eagles are gathered together at the carcasses and bodies as a sign that the great tribulation of Israel is over.
