The Dragnet

Matthew 13:47
Summary
A dragnet is cast, which gathers all kind of fish.  Once on shore, the bad are sorted out from the good. 

The Parable
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind, which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away.  So it will be at the end of the age.  The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just, and cast them into the furnace of fire.  There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

Lesson
The sorting of good and evil men at the end of the age. The saved will enter eternal life, but the lost will be cast into hell. See “The Tares.
