In response they said to Him, “Where, Lord?” He said back to them, “Wherever the body is, there the vultures gather.”
Luke 17:37
Jesus does not answer with a specific place. This is prophecy. We can see that very clearly by the wording Jesus uses. What he does do is answer the question, just not in the way they wanted.
What He means here is that those who do not escape suffer Divine judgment. The reminder of Lot’s wife is the most clear indication of this. But His choice of illustration in this verse also indicates that this is what He is speaking of.
Heavenly Father, when we think of Your just wrath we are so afraid. There is nothing in this world worth a man’s fear but Your displeasure. All may go against those who are in Your care, and peace will attend them. But to be the target of Your wrath is a thing too terrible for me to fully comprehend. Oh God that we will seek Your face and be repentant! Our bodies and minds are corrupted and we cannot stand before You. I give You all praise for Chirst! Only through Him may I see You, know Your truth, or escape Your just allotment of destruction. Thank You for Him! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
