Again the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind.

When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad.

So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the

righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace in that place there will be weeping and

gnashing.

Amen, let's get into it.

In this episode we're going to talk about why we need judgment the problem in judgment and lastly the solution of judgment.

So in the first two verses again the kingdom of heaven is like a net that is thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind when it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted good, the good into containers and threw away the bath.

So in this passage passage the word bad actually means rotten. And Jesus is using the example of something that they would have seen all the time and that is fishing. The rotten fish were

useless, they were worthless and so they would throw away them into the trash

because they were worthless and we're gonna see what Jesus likens that too, but he's talking about the judgment and most importantly what happens when God's judgment comes down and that day is coming. But Jesus uses an illustration that they would have

really known and seen all the time, especially those who live next to the Sea of

Galilee. Back then and still today there was three main ways of fishing.

The first one is the line and the hook, right?

The fisherman goes, it's a line, throws it in the water,

hooks a fish, brings it in.
