<TITLE>10. Par -</TITLE>L-933-Q-239 Now, the fourth question:
239. Matthew 24:28: (The person's coming right down. They never signed it; yes they did. I beg your pardon. I won't call these names, because it's not necessary. See?) Matthew 24:28: "For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together." Who is the carcass and who are the eagles?
Now, that's a good question, nothing wrong with that. What is the carcass? The carcass is what the eagles feed on. Now, a eagle is considered in the Bible, a prophet. A prophet is the eagle. God--God calls Himself a eagle, and we're "eaglets" then, the--the believers. You see? And what is the carcass that they feed on? Is the Word. Wherever the Word is, the true nature of the bird will show itself. See? A eagle, which wants fresh meat, he must have his fresh meat. He's not a--not a buzzard; he--he's an eagle. You can't give no denominational stuff to him; he's got to have eagle's food; that's the freshest of the meat, not what Moses done, not what somebody else done, not what Sankey, Finney, Knox, Calvin, but right now, the Meat that's killed for this day. And that's the part of Christ that died to make this Word be confirmed. That's what they eat on. Get it? See, see?

L-933-54 Not what Noah done, what Moses done, they're examples; we see and read what they did, but it's what He promised to do now. He was the Word back there; that was the Carcass for that day. The day of--of Wesley was a carcass for that day; the day of Luther was a carcass for that day; but they don't go back to that. That's already contaminated. What was left over must be burned, of the communion even; don't leave it for the next generation. The Bible said when you're taking the communion, what's left over of it, don't even let it lay till morning; burn it. So refer back to that? No, sir. We got fresh Food today; that's the Word that's promised to this hour be made manifest in this hour. That's where the eagles are, where the carcass is. We can stay a long time on that, but I'm sure you understand what I mean.

L-933-Q-240 All right, fifth question:
240. Will the Bride be gathered together in one place at the rapture, and will it be in the west?
Nope, don't have to be there. Yeah, the Bride will be gathered together in one place. That is true, but not until the resurrection. See? "For we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord..." Ephesians--II Thessalonians the 5th chapter, I believe it is. "We which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (or hinder) those which are asleep (universally); for the trumpet of God shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise, and we shall be caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air." Therefore, the Bride will all be together when it goes to meet the Lord. See? It will be together, but it don't necessarily mean that we--they all have to be setting in one place like this; because the Bride is sleeping in the dust of the earth around the world, from the Arctic to the tropics, and from--from the east to the west, from north to the south.

L-934-56 Jesus said, "When the Son of man shall appear," why, said, "it'd be like the Light that shines from the east even into the west." The whole thing, there'll be a resurrection, a rapture, and away it'll go. And before it ever go up to meet Him...
Watch the wisdom of the Lord. Now, let's say, for instance, in talking this... I'm saying this through thoughts of grace and faith in the Word, that I say "we." I'm throwing myself in with you all and I--and with the whole Body of Christ, universally. I'm--I believe that. And when I say "we" then, I mean, by grace I--I believe it. By faith I believe it in His grace, that we will be among those people that'll be caught up.
