In study today I was searching for an answer to a problem but was given an answer to a verse that I didn't realize needed an answer...until my eyes were opened. Christ warned His disciples about the tribulation of end times.....
The passage shows Christ warning us about the liars, then about lightning from the east, then telling us about the carcase and eagles (properly translated - vultures). After all of that He says..."immediately after the tribulation of those days!!!" I believe all of that was about the tribulation and includes the coming of the son of man from the east because....this is the fake christ coming pretending to be Christ. I believe we are being told that the "son of man," coming as lightning from the east....is none other than Satan! Satan transformed as the son of man, an angel of light...lightning from the east.
That's why this so-called son of man is sandwiched in-between warnings of liars and the mention of the carcase and vultures. This pretend son of man comes from the east, the direction God warns us to watch, and with him...."wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles (vultures) be gathered together."
As we are the Body of Christ...the spiritually living body, the body of Satan is a carcase - spiritually dead and Satan's vultures hover around them.

Matthew 24:24-28 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, He is in the desert; go not forth: behold, He is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles (vultures) be gathered together.
24:29-30 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

As we are the Body of Christ...the spiritually living body, the body of Satan is a carcase - spiritually dead and Satan's vultures hover around them.
