re the vultures ?

Hi Dave!
I think the sin unto death is idolatry. Check this verse out at then end of 1 John. First he warns about
the sin unto death and then doesnt mention what it is. But at the end of 1 John he warns about a
specific sin.

1Jn 5:21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols!"

In the OT, the Israelites constantly fell into idolatry.

Exo 32:31 So Moses returned to Yahweh and said: Oh! this people has sinned a great sin, and they made for themselves an elohim of gold.

Lev 26:30 I will exterminate your fane heights, cut down your incense stands and bestow your corpses upon the corpses of your idol clods; thus My soul will loathe you.

What do you guys think?

psalmsinger:
Thinking back to back to vs. 23-24 ......   Eagles are birds of prey.  They seek the dead to devour, much like satan and his angels feed on the dust.  I took it as a warning not to seek "Jesus' coming" in a crowd where false prophets are feeding off of the flesh of the dead congregation. We can watch that on TV and watch it live in many of the churches. Most of us have experienced those vultures tearing at our flesh, trying to get control of our minds and pocketbooks :) He is not in the desert, He is not in a secret place that only your pastor knows about.  You don't need to look in the deserts and dry places when the truth is as blinding as the light of day as God chooses to reveal it to you.  I could be wrong, but I'm thinking now that the many are the dead body, the few are those who heed the warning to come out of her my people to the Light.

Matt 24:23-28
23   Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24   For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25   Behold, I have told you before.
26   Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27   For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28   For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
(KJV)

Rest in the Lord,
Barbara

Hi Dave,

Mat 24:28 Wheresoever, the corpse, shall be, there, shall be gathered, the vultures! (Rotherham)

Luke 17:37 And, answering, they say unto him—Where, Lord? And, He, said unto them—Where the body is, there, the vultures also, will be gathered together. (Rotherham)

I think "the body" is talking about the few.  And "the corpse" is, our dying to the carnal/flesh.  And that is what the vultures are symbolic of, as you see they gather to a dead animal, and spiritually these symbolic vultures are gathered to our dying flesh.

2Co 4:10  Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
v. 11  For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

mercy, peace and love
Kat
