And then the Fifth thing is this, That a Family or People 1from whence God hath withdrawn his protection and blessing, is a dead carcass.
- 1Obs. 5.
Then, He is dead, that I take to be the meaning of that in Mat. 24. 28. For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the 1Eagles be gathered together; though it's true, it's spoken about the coming of Christ, yet I do not think that the Carcass is Christ, and the Saints like Eagles, and so will be where Christ is, yet it hath been carried so by divers; now though it's spoken there of Christs coming, yet it's meant, of his coming against Jerusalem, there's a great part of that Chapter of the coming of Christ in his Judgments against the people of the Jews, and now they were as a dead carcass, God having forsaken them; And the Eagles, Birds of prey, would come upon them: And it might have reference to the Romans coming upon them, whose Ensign is the Spread Eagle, those Eagles would 2come. The body of the Jews that had forsaken God, and his Truth, and so was but as a dead carcass, the Eagles would make prey of them. A people, or family that forsakes God and his Worship is as a dead carcass.
