Vultures


Someone tossed a McDonald's sandwich out their car window as they drove by my house. It laid in the gutter for about four days before a murder of crows found it and took turns guarding, snatching and flying away with pieces of the delicacy and now all that remains is the distinctive yellow wrapper. I’m reminded of the signs of the end of the age. Jesus said, “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the desert,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather” (Matt 24:26-28 NIV).
