Matthew 24:28

Where there is a dead body, there the eagles (vultures) gather."
[This proverb is based on Job 39:29–33, the point being that eagles (or vultures, as the word can also mean) can be seen circling their prey from a long distance. When Jesus returns, it will be seen from afar and it will be obvious. The verse before uses the analogy of lightning that is visible to all, see verse 27. The image of a carcass also speaks of death and difficult times, which characterize the end of tribulation. The dead body can also be an image of Jesus, and the eagles his followers who gather around him. Jesus himself uses similar imagery earlier, see John 6:49.]
