"The eyesight for an eagle is what thought is to a man."
My spiritual sight has height and distance.
Father, today's reading below is powerful from any interpretation that my mind chooses to take. What I can't really tell is if the body that Jesus refers to is His resurrected body, where we will all gather around like birds of prey wanting a piece of Him when He comes again in all His glory . . . or if the body is our dead carcass where birds of prey will gather around us once we are taken to be with You. I also wonder if this could also mean 'the dead' who have not experienced Your Grace or Love through their own choice and who have chosen through their own acts not to belong to You. Are they the ones left behind? There are more than three interpretations here but under any account, I want to be with You alive in the spiritual sense, full measure, pressed down, running over, now AND once my body is all used up and physically dead. In any instance, I want to be with You. I give myself to You anyway You want or will have me. I can also see how we could all be the body and Your and Your angels are the eagles picking out who will be taken. This is most certaily a deep Scripture as they all are and this one will likely keep my mind busy for quite some time. One thing I do not want to do is 'miss the boat' in the literal and spiritual sense as those in Noah's time did. Thank You for the depth of awareness You have given me today. I Love You! I'm crazy about You and You are on my mind, all the time.
26 "As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of man.
37 And they said to Him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is (as in where a carcass falls), there the eagles (birds of prey) will be gathered together (to devour it)."
