Luke 17

"34 I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. 36 Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.”[f]37 And they answered and said to Him, “Where, Lord?” So He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”

“Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together" (also in Matthew 24:28) has always intrigued me, however, I haven't come to a full understanding of its meaning in the context. Whether this eagle is symbolizing the good or the bad is also worth discussion. In the Bible eagles have been dipicted as both the good and the bad.

Bad
"And these you shall regard as an abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the buzzard" (Leviticus 11:13)

“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." (Hosea 8:1)

Good
“Saul and Jonathan were beloved and pleasant in their lives,And in their death they were not divided; They were swifter than eagles, They were stronger than lions." (2 Samuel 1:23)

"Who satisfies your mouth with good things,So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s." (Psalm 103:5)

"Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; They fly away like an eagle toward heaven." (Proverbs 23:5)

Both times this verse is mentioned it is after Jesus explains what will happen in the last days. Carcass and dead body usually have a bad connotation. In the case of these verses, it sounds like the eagles are acting as vultures ready to devour the carcass. It sounds as if the eagles will gather to deceive people according to context. However, the 'body' or 'carcass' seem to also refer to the body of Jesus when it died. In that case, what would the eagle be referring to? Is it symbolizing something good or something bad? If it is attracted to Jesus to support it, then it would be good. But if it is gathered to harm the body, then it would be bad. Either way, has anyone heard any explainations on this?
