(34) I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. (35) Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. (36) Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. (37) And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? and he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
In these figures, the Lord very plainly and fully confirms his doctrine of distinguishing grace. And everything in life as decidedly answers to our Lord's discourse. What a blessed account of it Jesus hath given! Matthew 11:25-26. And what a testimony the experience of God, in all ages, bears to it! 2 Timothy 2:19. Reader! let not you or I put the unnecessary question, Where, Lord? For everywhere, and in all things, where the carcase of the ungodly is, destruction, like the eagle, will smell the scent afar off: and wheresoever Jesus is, thither will his people fly, as doves to their windows. Isaiah 60:8.
