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 carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.” Who is the carcase and who are the eagles?
53 Now, that’s a good question, nothing wrong with that! What is the carcase? The carcase 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 carcase 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 (see?), 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?
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 Carcase for that day. The day of–of Wesley was a carcase for that day; the day of Luther was a carcase 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 carcase is. We can stay a long time on that, but I’m sure you understand what I mean.
All right, fifth question:
