MATTHEW 13 44-58

   🍃🕊️02/16 - GospeL Verses 🕊️🍃

44 - (Jesus continues.) “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure that’s hidden in a field! A person at finding it, will cover it up again, and then in joy will go and sell all that they have and will go and buy that field.” {The treasure of Truth is hidden in plain sight, in intriguing riddles? Father likes a good riddle?}

     45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 and when he finds one pearl, of great value, will go out and sell all that he has and buy it.

      47And again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that is thrown into the sea and gathers fish of every kind. 48 And when it’s full, men draw the net ashore and sort the good from the not good. And they will gather the good but throw back the bad. 49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the evil from the righteous 50 and throw them into the fiery furnace.” {Judgment, consequences, results.} There will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.” {Fiery judgment simultaneous with Jesus’ return beginning his long second advent - Mt.13:30 is both Rev.16:14-15-16 and Mt.25:1-13. And they rise into GWT judgment ‘day’ initially some gnashing teeth.. which progresses to weeping..}

     51 “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes.” 52 And he said, “Every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the head of a house, who brings out of their store, treasure that is new, and treasure that is old.” [2Tim.3:16]

     53 And when Jesus had finished these parables, he left there, 54 and coming to his hometown he was teaching in the synagogue, and they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works? 55 Isn’t this the carpenter's son? Isn’t his mother called Mary? And aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? (We have letters written later by James and Jude.) 56 And don’t all his sisters live here? Where then did he get all this?” 57 And they were offended at him. But Jesus said, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own household.” 58 And he was not able to do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.
