Matthew 24:28 Meaning

[Christ] meets with an objection: if he come in the east or in the west, how shall those elect persons come to him who shall be so far removed from that place as is the west from the east. He answers, and teaches that as the eagles from all quarters are shortly gathered to the place where the carcase is, so shall all the elect be swiftly gathered together to the place where Christ shall show his bodily presence at his second coming to judgment.

Matthew 24:28 Meaning – Where the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together

We need not trouble ourselves about the swift dispatch of the last judgment, how or in what place of the world the convocation of the elect shall be; this is sufficient, we shall meet with Christ where he shall be; for, Where the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

Dickson, David – A Brief Exposition of the Evangel of Jesus Christ According to Matthew (1651)

Cf. Luke 17:37, a proverbial saying. So Job 29:30; Habakkuk 1:8. The application here is more general than in Luke.
