Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 17:37

37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

Concerning the Sense of this Proverbial Expression, and the various application of it by Interpreters. See the Notes on Matth. 24.28 In our Evangelist (where it is [non-Latin text not transcribed] not [non-Latin text not transcribed] (as in Matthew) the Word there properly signifying a dead Body, the Word here a living Body) it seems to be applyed to Christ's glorious coming to Iudgment: Where I shall be, who am to be the Judge both of the Quick and the Dead; thither shall all the World be gathered before me, but my Saints especially, who have Eagles Eyes, Senses exercised to discern betwixt Good and Evil, to discern me as their Redeemer, and the true Messiah, according to that, Psal. 50.5, 6. Gather my Saints together unto me, those that have made a Covenant with me by Sacrifice. And the Heavens shall declare his Righteousness: for God is Iudge himself.
