Our paragraph topic is: (Parable of the net) Part 2.
The net will gather all. The kingdom of heaven is like a net that is cast into the sea and when it is full it is taken up and the fish are separated. The good fish are kept and the bad fish are cast away. All are captured in the net. All are brought to shore. All are separated. This is the parable that Christ tells his disciples that they may understand the coming of the kingdom of heaven and the separation that will take place. The wicked will be separated from the just. The workers of iniquity will be separated from the those who do good. The fruit will be separated from the weeds and all will be judged according to their works.
Christ tell his disciples that they may know and understand the truth of the kingdom. He tells them stories and parables that they may have the wisdom of the kingdom. He gives them knowledge that they may be able to past their knowledge upon those who will follow them. For they will be the new shepherds. They will be the new leaders. They will be the messengers of Christ after his work is finished. So, he wants them to have clear understanding and knowledge of the kingdom of heaven.
He concludes his parable by telling the disciples of the end times. He says, "So will it be at the end of the world. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from among the just, and will cast them into the furnace of fire, where there will be the weeping, and the gnashing of teeth.
The prophecy has been spoken. Time will reveal the truth of its making. The angels will come and separate but the net will capture all. Will you be among the just or will you be among the wicked? The furnace of fire awaits the separation. Our God is a loving God. He wants all to be separated into the just. He wants no one to be put into the furnace of fire. This is the why of the prophecy that is given to us today that we may understand. This is the why of the prophecy that is given to us today that we may know. This is the why of the prophecy that is given to us today that we may have the wisdom of the kingdom of heaven. Will you heed the message? Will you take action today to receive the kingdom?
