I started to research this verse today and was suprised at how many different answers there were.
The conclusion that I have arrived at is not any of those that I have seen so far.
The one common element in Matthew 24:28 and Luke 17:37 is mentioned just previously to the verses in both books. It is he second coming of Christ.
The only other mention that I can find about "fowl of the earth" that is tied into Christs second coming is in Revelation 19:17-18.
The word "carcase" means "to fall". The carcase are fallen ones, physically and spiritually. Those who are not children of God and are destroyed at the brightness of His coming. The eagles that gather are the fowls metioned in Revelation to feast on the wicked, the supper of the great God. I try to let scripture interpet its self and with prayer this is the conclusion that I have arrive at.
