The Parable of the Net
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:”
Matthew 13:47 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 13:47
The parable 'The kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind' teaches the mixed nature of kingdom response and final judgment. The net indiscriminately gathers good and bad fish; likewise, the gospel call goes to all, but not all respond genuinely. Separation comes when the net is full (end of age)—angels will 'sever the wicked from among the just.' This warns against presuming that everyone in visible kingdom community is truly redeemed.
