Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 24:28

"Wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together." — Matthew 24:28 (ASV)

Judaism had become a carcass, dead and corrupt; fit prey for the cultures or carrion-kites of Rome. Eventually, another day will come when there will be a dead church in a dead world, and the eagles of divine judgment will be gathered together to tear in pieces those whom there will be no one to deliver. The birds of prey gather wherever dead bodies are to be found; and the judgments of Christ will be poured out when the body politic or religious becomes unbearably corrupt.
