Christ reveals, in parables or symbolic figures, the processes of the heavenly kingdom’s development among humans, and shows how it progresses in preparation for the reality. Among other parables, the one of the net is a rather clear and impressive illustration of the gospel activity from the time it was first proclaimed until it is concluded in the reality.
The parable is as follows:
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” (Matt. 13:47-50.)
