And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.” (Luke 17:37 ESV)
Jesus has just described the great separation - the taking away of people who refuse to enter His kingdom, who reject Him. The disciples now ask Him where they go. As He often does He uses a graphic picture to describe Death. It's where the corpses are; you will see the vultures flying around there. That is where a rejection of the King, a refusal to enter the kingdom will get you - Death.
