Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather

Matthew 24:15-31
In the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation' (Daniel 12:11)  is the end of the age, the end of time. Thus could be reference to the emperor's image on the ensign carried by the Roman soldiers.
The end of the age is dreadful and terrify, there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now and never to be equaled again.
For as lightning that comes from the east is visible seen in the west, so will be the coming of the son of Man.
Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather. carcass is dead man. It is a parable that said to the situation of church.
It is a proverb, Gathering vultures are tell-tale signs of a corpse. The coming of the Son of man will be equally obvious.
At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power ad great glory.
Why?
There re not signs of the end. When the end does come, it will be clear warning signs of the destruction of Jerusalem. The rest of Jesus' teaching in this section comes in the form of parables: he uses stories to drive home the points of the previous chapter.
V 29-31:Symbolic language. In the light of  'immediately' cannot be taken literally. Jesus appears to telescope the two comings in judgment.
End of time is judgement day, it is terrify and hold on our faith. Jesus will coming on the cloud and will be seen obviously.
How?
Trust in Jesus and be aware there are many false prophets. Take chance before the end of age turn to the Jesus Christ may have the eternal life in heaven.
