The Net


Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

This is like the wheat and tares parables. This is about Revelation taking out the unrighteous people from the righteous people. This will be just like the days of Lot or the days of Noah when people did not expect God. This will be the day when men are totally wicked and only few good men are found. God will took all the wicked to be killed and leave the good one to inherit the land.

Remember Lot’s wife! She could not bear to leave her house so she looks back and by doing so she becomes the pillar of salt. Revelation will be like this when the angels will come and instruct people what to do. So we better trust and fallow the instruction of the angel not to turn back on what we use to do. We must lose everything we have to carry on. We must not turn back to get some things.

Remember Noah when people are mocking him and when the ark is finish the flood came and killed all the wicked people. Noah’s family inherits the land.
Related verse…

He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” (Revelation 21:7-8)

"And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. (Matthew 24:31)

“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,
but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. (Matthew 24:36-39)

Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. (Matthew 24:40-41)

but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:13-14)

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (matthew 10:28)
