Christ's Return Among The Post Christians and Vultures
Luke 17:37 The words of Jesus. "Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather."
Luke 17:20-37
This statement appears at the end of a section on the day(s) of the Son of Man. It will happen suddenly, without warning and all will see it. This is the answer to the question, "Where?"
It's a bit puzzling. What is meant by a dead body? Can a body be a group, or many groups (ocean size), of people? Can the dead be those who are not saved or who have rejected Christ? I think it could be.
Can the vultures be those who seek to destroy? Those false prophets who lie and deceive to keep people from seeing and seeking the truth? The devil is called a liar and the father of lies. Could it be?
We can certainly see that happening more and more over time, especially in those countries that have historically been predominantly Christian. Europe, right now, is predominantly post Christian. Look what is starting to happen. Groups who have openly stated their goal to destroy the countries of Europe have followers among those healthy young men massing to Europe. How many will it take to cause destruction? America is growing toward being post Christian and Canada is slightly ahead in it's quest to be post Christian. The issues about immigration being debated are the same. Will the vultures descend or have many already come in the form of leaders who deny the Lord and lack respect for, and question, the word of God, the Bible?
There are many countries in the world riddled by the vultures of war, poverty, disasters and oppression. So sad. Some are not post Christian, they simply do not believe much at all except superstitions and luck. They, too, are dead to the Christian faith.
What has been foretold by Jesus and in prophecy will come to pass, whether we think so or not. So what do believers need to do? The post Christians and those who have rejected Christ or do not believe the message, along with those who have no knowledge, will do nothing at all. A message like this is nonsense to them. "Just as it was in the days of Noah...." (They consider that story a fairy tale so why would the quote by Jesus mean anything to them?)
Believers and followers need to stand firm and not waver, as Noah stood firm and believed the Lord. He did what he was directed to do. So belief and action go together. Watch, pray, witness, serve, believe, study and follow the Lord faithfully no matter what others are choosing to do.
God bless you.
