Note 11 at Mt 24:28: Many people are very offended that anyone would interpret the carcass ("carcase") in this verse as being Jesus and the eagles as being true believers. However, the context would seem to suggest that.

The point that has just been made is, "Don't let anyone deceive you about the coming of Christ, because you will not be able to miss it. Everyone will see the Lord coming just like lightning is visible to everyone." Then the Lord said that just like eagles are somehow always able to find a carcass, so His followers will be gathered unto Him.

The analogy that Jesus used is very fitting. Just as eagles feed off of a carcass, so we must feed on Jesus (Joh 6:47-58). A carcass speaks of death also, and that was the means that Jesus used to provide us with His life (Mt 17:22-23, 20:18-19, 28; Joh 10:17-18, and 12:23-24).
