And they asked Him; where Lord?
And He said; Wheresoever the bodies are there will the birds be gathered together.
Luke 17:37

Matthew 24:28
Wheresoever the bodies are there shall the birds be gathered together.

the marriage of the Lamb
Revelation 19:7

And I saw an angel, standing in the sun,
and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly
in the midst of the sky; Come and gather yourselves together
unto the supper of the Great God.
Revelation 19:17

the appearing of our Great God and savior Jesus Christ.
Titus 2:13

...and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
Revelation 19:21

The only thing is that no birds of this kind are found anymore in those places and that could a sign that this scripture is not literal-literal but it does have a figurative meaning...

We all don't know these things. You saying so just reveals your level of presumptions.

Bring what on?

Not another endtimes argument that never ends until it gets closed by the Steward, I hope.

You did generalise, which attracts criticism.

One of many fallacies of logic that does.

I have taken the passage that begins this post as pointing to time. In bed, in the field and at home grinding are activities done at different times of the day. Therefore, on that day, no matter where someone is on the planet people should flee. 

The body/eagle reference simply tells us its not far ahead. You can see your are getting close to it.

Interesting statement by our Lord, given that day and night are both represented as possible times for one to be taken and the other to be left, that no matter where someone is or what they are doing God has access to everyone.

Some commentators explain that those taken are taken in the Wrath of God's Judgment, and those left are spared the Wrath of His Judgment to reign with Him in the Millenium. 

Shalom, Michael37.

OR, the mention of DAY AND NIGHT might be that it will be an ENDURING attack! One that lasts longer than a day! 

Also, I might mention that the Greek word "klinees" ("κλίνης") translated as "bed" is also what they called the couch upon which they reclined for meals. I think some people have been "weirded out" by the idea of "two men in one bed!" But, it's not so strange after all, when one realizes that it's just two men sitting down to dinner together.

And, I might also throw in that all we have here are the adjectives! "Notice that at least in some versions, the word "men" is in italics telling us that the word was supplied by the translator and was not actually in the Greek text. In many languages, when you have a pair of men, the adjective is masculine, but also if you have two people, one man and one woman, the adjective is still masculine! Only in the case where there are two women do you have an adjective that is feminine. So, in verse 35, where the word "women" is also in italics, the adjectives are feminine suggesting that there are indeed two women.

Haha .. excellent observation there brother.

I was hoping nobody noticed actually in case nobody answered I was going to use it to lead into another related subject about night and day ..

Since you so excellently spotted that, I will share it now ..

Isaiah 28:14-19

14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.

15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

 

That's the attack and occupation of Israel that is to come.

Thanks for commenting brother.

 

Shalom, Serving.

You're absolutely right.

Remember, too, the atrocities that are performed on the inhabitants of the Land before the Messiah liberates them:

Zechariah 14:2-3 (KJV)

2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled (looted), and the women ravished (raped); and half of the city shall go forth into captivity (shall be exiled), and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 THEN shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

This will all take TIME to accomplish!
