I was having an online conversation with a preterist, and he made some statement I don't remember, but I brought up the 1000 yr reign with Christ upon the earth, he said , show me that in scripture, so I showed him, then he wants me to prove that this takes place on this earth after the rapture when we return with the Lord , because in his mind God would never set up the reign on this earth with all the dead bodies stinking up the place,lol.

So in studing this out I came across a discovery, that also gives an answer to anybody who questions what is really being said in Luke 17:37 after he goes through verses 34-36 about two in the field, one taken and the other left , two in the bed, two women grinding one taken the other left.

verse. 37 Jesus is asked where are they taken?, he of course does not answer that question, instead he gives a hint as to what will happen to those who are left, by saying Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together... eagles are translated (vultures) what do vultures do? eat dead things..

so where is the cool discovery? that answers the preterist question as well as gives understanding to Jesus' answer in verse 37

Start reading in Revelation 19:11 then in verse 14, Here we come, those who were taken, we are the armies who follow Jesus back to the earth to make war against those that were left from Luke..

Then in verse 17 here come them gathered meat eating birdd from Luke, they are called unto the supper of the great God.

verse 18 is where they eat those stinking dead bodies that the preterist was so concerned about...

THE END

Interesting insight of verses I always wondered about. I will copy this for more study on my own.
Thanks for posting.

But is there anywhere in the Bible that talks about how the world will be in the millennium? I know Isaiah 11, but I wonder about all the destruction that man has done with oil spills, chem-trails etc etc.
Hmmm... I just looked at a commentary on BlueLetterBible and it mentions Romans 8:19-22 Here is copy and paste from what I found

Romans 8:19-22 says: The earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.

Nature is waiting for the transformation that will come when the Messiah reigns and believers are glorified.

Linda, excellent answer, good for you!

Wow, won't there be a feast like never before for the vultures!!! The Lord's personal clean up crew! What an awesome God we serve!!
