Jesus used metaphorical and symbolical meanings. Read few passages before should help you get the sense that Jesus was giving a few conditions/examples that would take place before his presents and of the Kingdom. The “eagles,” which are known to be farsighted, represent Christians, with farsightedness, will be present at the “body/carcass”-which represents Christ. Compare Matthew 24:28.

The eagles could also represent any bird of prey and symbolize an enemy army

Luke 19:
41 And as He nears, beholding the City, and He laments on Her,
43 That shall be arriving days upon Thee,
and Thy enemies shall be casting up a rampart/siege-work to Thee
and shall be encompassing Thee,
and pressing Thee from-every-side............


Revelation 19
17 And I perceived one messenger standing in the sun, and he cries-out in great voice, saying to all the birds, the ones flying in mid-heaven,
"hither! be ye being gathered! into the Supper<1173> of the Great God.
18 That ye may be eating fleshes of kings

Revelation 18:13
..............and of horses, and of chariots,
and of bodies<4983> and souls<5590> of men.

Hab 1:8
Their horses also are swifter than leopards,
And more fierce than evening wolves.
Their chargers charge ahead;
Their cavalry comes from afar;
They fly as the eagle
that hastens to eat.
Aquila (Roman) - Wikipedia
An aquila, or eagle, was a prominent symbol used in ancient Rome, especially as the standard of a Roman legion. A legionary known as an aquilifer, or eagle-bearer, carried this standard. Each legion carried one eagle. The eagle was extremely important to the Roman military, beyond merely ... The signa militaria were the Roman military ensigns or standards.

First, the Eagle is Christ. And His Elect are the Eagles. Allow me to explain.

We read in Scripture that we, Elect, who fly to the Lord's holy mountain. The eagle is symbolic of the Lord's people, who take on "His" Characteristics. Thus they are both protected and have judgment. "Know ye not that we shall judge Messengers", 1st Cor 6:3. This is the same elect who have the power to shut heaven that it rain not, and have power over waters to turn them to blood. Because they have Spirit of God in them and come with the word of God in their mouths.

Revelation 12:14
  • "And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."
As the great old hymn, "Flee as a bird to your mountain, thou who art weary of sin."

Psalms 11:1
  • "In the Lord I take refuge. How then can you say to me: Flee like a bird to your mountain."
We dwell in the spiritual mountains as eagles, and this because we are representative of God, and thus we take on the characteristics of God. Just as the passages in Job:

Job 39:27-30 KJV
[27] Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
[28] She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
[29] From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
[30] Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.

The Eagle, being one of four creatures as aspects of God, is a characteristic of God's protection and judgment.

Revelation 4:6-8
  • "And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
  • And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
  • And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come."
This image of the four living creatures symbolically represents certain diverse characteristics of God. The Lion, the lamb, the man and the flying eagle [aetos]. Likewise, His elect is also characterized as these same creatures. And that is why they are the ambassadors of God, sent with the word that judges. The word against this body as that which brings death.

Therefore, when God has removed His Elect (the one taken), out of apostate Church where God has authorized them to prophesy judgment upon unfaithful congregation.

Revelation 18:9-11 KJV
[9] And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
[10] Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
[11] And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

This is where eagles have gathered together upon the dead body of the Church. Spiritual discerned. Not a physical event. The Elect mourns over the spiritual condition of the church because she no longer follows God because of false prophets and Christs ruling within her.

The eagle was an ancient Roman military ensign.
They also used trumpets.
I really didn't think about that until I watched the 3 videos that guy made concerning 70ad Jerusalem. I went online to find out more on that.

Go to about the 2:20 minute mark.


I found this site

The Sound Of The Trumpet
For if the Trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle?
(1 Corinthians 14:8).


The Apostle Paul used the Roman military trumpet as a metaphor for spiritual battle. First-century historian Josephus wrote that the Roman army did nothing, except by trumpet signals. He listed three specific trumpet sounds, all of which can be devotionally applied.

The first trumpet was a signal to prepare to depart. "Now when they are to go out of their camp, the trumpet gives a sound."(1) The Bible believer should be ready to depart swiftly for any field of conflict as ordered, always ready to fight the good fight of faith (1 Tim. 6:12; 2 Tim. 4:7).

The second trumpet was a signal to form up: "Then do the trumpets sound again, to order them to get ready for the march."(1) At this stage, a believer should have on the whole armor of God. The Lord wants skilled warriors, lined up with others, who will do battle against the wiles of the Devil (Eph. 6:11).

The third trumpet sound was the order to march: "Then do the trumpets give a sound a third time, that they are to go out."(1) Some have suggested that this is the equivalent of "the last trumpet" that Paul referred to in 1 Corinthians 15:52 concerning the Rapture of the church: Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed--in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (1 Cor. 15:51-52).......
====================================
Just as the 7 priests at Jericho, so there are 7 Messengers/Priests in Revelation...

Allusions in Revelation from Old Testament

Joshua 6:4
and seven priests do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark, and on the seventh day ye compass the City seven times,
and the priests blow with the trumpets,

Revelation 8:6
And the seven Messengers having the seven trumpets make ready themselves, that they should be trumpeting
[Joshua 6:4/Matt 24:31]

and ye eat flesh and ye drink blood.[Revelation 19:17-18]
Revelation 19
17 And I saw one Messenger standing in the sun, and He cries-out in great voice, saying to all the birds, the ones flying in mid-heaven, "hither! be ye being gathered<4863>! into the Supper of the Great God.

ROMAN SIEGE AND SACK OF JERUSALEM


The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD

Of the Jews destroyed during the siege, Josephus reckons not less than ONE MILLION AND ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND, to which must be added, above TWO-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN THOUSAND who perished in other places, and innumerable multitudes who were swept away by famine, and pestilence, and of which no calculation could be made.

I just explained it with verses in my previous post. You don’t like it. That’s all. Eagle was one of God’s aspect (one of four creatures in Revelation) which means to judge and he used his elect as an eagles to prophesy judgment upon unfaithful congregation (dead body).

Revelation 4

9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

The fourth beast, which is like a flying eagle, gives glory, honour, and thanks.
There is no mention or implication of judgment.

Nor is there any Scripture which characterizes the elect as eagles.

In Matthew and Luke, the Greek is translated most accurately in the context as "vultures".

No, The Greek word, "aetos" is eagle. The vulture is placed in some modern bibles by the translators is metephorically inaccurate. They were reading into Scripture thinking that the birds are supposed to be "bad" or "eat" on something. While they did translate other verses with eagles because they assume the birds are friendlier. For example:

Revelation 12:14 KJV
[14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle ("aetos'), that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

Do you honestly think the woman flew with the help of the vultures to a place where she will be protected from the serpent? It does not make any sense. Rather, these are the eagles symbolically protection or judgment, depending on the context, that helped the woman (church) into a wilderness (world) where she was fed with gospel (nourished) for a period, safe from Satan.

Again the eagle is symbolic of the Lord's people, who take on "HIS" characteristics. Do you even know what is God's characteristics are? The Bible is it's own interpreter. Is not the waters that bring life contrasted with the poisons that bring death? Is not the lamb contrasted with the wolf? Is not the good tree contrasted with the bad tree? Israel with Israel, children with children, sacrifice with sacrifice, nation with nation, kingdom with kingdom? So no, it's not ridiculous, it's exactly what we would expect if we have been studying the scriptures and know the consistency of God in His perfect design, cryptic imagery, and Biblical harmony. The symbolism isn't new or different, only the meaning is. No, it's not odd that God's Kingdom construct is symbolized by four living creatures of Revelation 4 and 5. For example, a Lion, a Lamb, a Man and Eagle. And Satan's kingdom construct is symbolized by four beasts, a Lion, a Bear, a leopard, and a four beast with a combination of all the first beasts. It's not odd interpretation at all, it's in harmony with the interpretations seen throughout the whole Bible. That the wind of heaven brought these four beasts is not odd either, as it illustrates God's immutable sovereignty over even this. God sends these four beasts, which are DEFINITELY NOT four literal nations or empires as tradition teaches:

Hosea 13:7-9
  • "Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
  • I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
  • Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help."
God will be unto them "AS" the Lion, the Leopard and the Bear, and come against Israel...as a judgment. How? By sending against them with people of those kingdom - the kingdom of the beast. Sound familiar?

Selah!

My point is, how does God appear to the woman in Revelation 12? To help her flee from Satan? By giving her an eagle's wings? Not Vulture. Likewise, in Matthew 24, how does God appear to the unfaithful congregation? To send against her the EAGLES which symbolically God's Elect who brings judgment message to her. Not physically eating anyone. But, as I say, it's Spiritually discerned, so indeed many may disagree because of their traditions and doctrines, but the wise will understand that all is not as it seems. It is the foolish who mook things they do not understand.

Moreover, anyone may think it ridiculous that an image in Daniel of four beasts, one looking like a lion, one like a bear and another as a leopard could symbolize the rule of Satan over unsaved people throughout earth history? Hmmm! Then let me ask you "pointedly" if you also think it ridiculous that in Revelation a very similar image of four living creatures, with wings, one creature like a lion, another like a calf, another with a face as a man, and the fourth like a flying eagle, could be symbolic of the rule of Christ over His people?

You see it's not strange or ridiculous at all. Christ is the eternal promise of the Lion of the tribe of Judah, Christ is the calf or Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, Christ is the Man who would take away the sins of the world, and Christ is the eagle, the protector of all His people under His wings. So no, this type of interpretation is NOT Ridiculous at all.

...Selah!

In case one haven't learned yet, scripture interprets scripture, not man, not history books, not a popular opinion, not world news, and most certainly not Church tradition (though I readily admit, most Christians today may think so). Satan "IS" the spirit and rule over people that contrasts the Spirit and Rule of God over His Elect. He is the pseudo-Christ, the antithesis of God. So it is not only "not ridiculous," and, not only plausible, but these contrasting four creatures and four beasts reveal the truth of it. And God sends his people AS THE EAGLES together to prophesy judgment over the dead body of an unfaithful congregation which I believe is happening right now. I am one of the eagles.

Wasn't there a valley around 1st century Jerusalem?

For the days of your slaughter and your dispersions are fulfilled;
You shall fall like a precious vessel.

Works for me.

Hos 8
1 “Set the trumpet to your mouth! He shall come like an eagle against the house of the LORD,
Because they have transgressed My covenant And rebelled against My law.
2 Israel will cry to Me,‘My God, we know You!’
11 “Because Ephraim has made many altars for sin, They have become for him altars for sinning.
14 “For Israel has forgotten his Maker, And has built temples;
Judah also has multiplied fortified cities; But I will send fire upon his cities,
And it shall devour his palaces.” [Revelation 16:19]

Matthew 23:

37 - “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her!
38 Behold! your House is being left desolate<2048>
Luke 13:
34 - “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her!
35 Behold! your House is being left desolate<2048>,

Rev 16:19
Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell.
And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.

Revelation 18:19
And they cast dust upon their heads and cried out, lamenting and mourning, saying "woe! woe! the great City in which are rich all the ones having the ships in the sea out of the preciousness of Her, that to one hour She was desolated<2049>


The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD
The Destruction Of JERUSALEM
An Absolute and Irresistible PROOF OF THE DIVINE ORIGIN OF
CHRISTIANITY:


....The day on which Titus encompassed Jerusalem, was the feast of the Passover....

Lest, however, the army of Titus should not be sufficiently designated by this expression, our LORD adds, "Wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together." Matt. xxiv. 28.
The Jewish state, indeed, at this time, was fitly compared to a carcass.
The sceptre of Judah, i . e . its civil and political authority, the life of its religion, and the glory of its temple, were departed. It was, in short, morally and judicially dead.
The eagle
, whose ruling instinct is rapine and murder, as fitly represented the fierce and sanguinary temper of the Romans, and, perhaps, might be intended to refer also to the principal figure on their ensigns, which, however obnoxious to the Jews, were at length planted in the midst of the holy city, and finally on the temple itself.

The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD

History records few events more generally interesting than the destruction of Jerusalem, and the subversion of the Jewish state, by the arms of the Romans. -- Their intimate connexion with the dissolution of the Levitical economy, and the establishment of Christianity in the world ; the striking verification which they afford of so many of the prophecies, both of the Old and New Testament, ........................

Nevertheless, the city was at this time crowded with Jewish strangers, and foreigners from all parts, so that the whole nation may be considered as having been shut up in one prison, preparatory to the execution of the Divine vengeance.................

Of the Jews destroyed during the siege,
Josephus reckons not less than ONE MILLION AND ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND, to which must be added, above TWO-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN THOUSAND who perished in other places, and innumerable multitudes who were swept away by famine, and pestilence, and of which no calculation could be made....
======================

12 "For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land. 13 "Indeed all the people of the land will be burying, and they will gain renown for it on the day that I am glorified," says the Lord GOD.
17 " And thou son of adam, thus says my Lord Yahweh, say thou! to bird of every wing, and to all of beast of the field: 'be assembled/06908 qabats ye! and come ye! together/0622 'acaph ye from round about on sacrifice of Me which I sacrificing for ye, a great Sacrifice on Mountains of Israel, and ye eat flesh and ye drink blood.
18 Flesh of mighty-ones ye shall eat, and blood of princes of the Land ye shall drink.....[Revelation 19:17-18]
