Matthew 24:26-28
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
26 Therefore, if they say to you, ‘Behold— He is in the wilderness’, do not go out; ‘Behold— He is in the inner-rooms’, do not believe it. 27 For just as the lightning comes out from the east and is visible[a] as far as the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 Wherever the corpse[b] may be, there the vultures will be gathered.

- Matthew 24:27 Or, shines.
- Matthew 24:28 The corpses may be those killed at the return of Christ; both His coming and its aftermath will be unmistakable. Or, linking this with v 24, the false prophets (the vultures) will gather upon the spiritually dead (the corpses). Or, linking this with v 15-26, Jerusalem (the corpse) will attract the Roman ‘eagles’ (as ‘vultures’ can also be rendered). Or, this may be a general rule: As corpses attract vultures, so the spiritually dead will attract judgment.
