Verse 26, the days of the Son of man are days of destruction of life on earth. Jesus will have to fight in this war. A world destruction, the end of days told by John of the future. This is nuclear World War 3. There will be no warning on the news before the first nuclear missile hits, it will be a total surprise to all but the aggressor. The Son of man is revealed in this war. Verse 31, war is happening, let those in helicopters not come down to rescue any of their belongings, perhaps even including people, in an area of nuclear blast. They can not be rescued because they are deathly radiated. No belonging can ever be used again if saturated in radiation. A soldier in the field can not return to a base that has been nuclear blasted. Neither can a person at work return home to an area of nuclear contamination. Verse 33, if man places value on earthy things and considers his life defined by his car, jewelry, money etc. then he will lose his life if he tries to rescue this stuff. But if a man realizes that his life is more valuable that earthly possessions then he will save his life by not trying to retrieve these items. Verse 34, the night is night of conflict, the bed is the battlefield the men are opposing armies. One will win, one will lose. The same symbolism applies with women as this war affects everyone. The body is the battlefield, the eagles are fighter jets.
