Part 11 Israel a dead body. "where the carcass is there the eagles are gathered" SHORT!

 

the truth is simple.

"where the carcass is there the eagles are gathered":

Let's look at the scripture parts to see the meaning behind the enigmatic words of Christ.

According to the Old Testament Law of Moses, the eagle was an abomination. see Lev 11:13 these are they which you shall hold in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey.

The Roman army carried eagle images were on their shields and flag poles.

"upon the wing of abomination.." *Daniel 9:26 (other translations say "for the overspreading of abominations)

.............................

"where the carcass is"

In context, Jerusalem, and the dead body was the nation Israel.. DOA 70 AD. on the 9th of Av, the day of wrath, judgement, and destruction.

Mark 13:14 “But when you shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not be”

The desolation was the work of the Romans who destroyed the city and the temple.

Luke 13:35 Jesus prophesied: Behold, your house is left unto you desolate;

Luke 21:20 “And when you His disciples) shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is near. -The Romans encompassed Jerusalem for over 5 months.

The desolation was administered by Rome.

Titus was "the prince of the people that shall come". His father was Emperor Vespasian, Titus is the prince named below in Dan. 9:26..

Dan 9:26 .....the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.

And the end thereof shall be with a flood,

and until the end of the war desolations are determined.

The Romans under the banner of the eagle-abomination carried out the desolations", plural, of destroying the the temple of God, Jerusalem, and Israel became a dead carcass.

Death was the prescribed penalty for adultery in Moses' law, and the unfaithful woman, Israel, was put to death by the sword of Rome to fulfill the law.

Leviticus 20:10

“‘And the man that commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he that commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

The Israel God created through the prophets, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, ended in the death of God's Israel.

The New Testament Israel of God created through Jesus Christ, a spiritual kingdom not of this world, is now the Israel that inherits the promises. It is populated by both Jew and non-Jew who have been born again and citizens of the "NEW Jerusalem".
