The Fish Net

The casting of the net is the Father’s Spirit in us that preaches the gospel. The Spirit gathers good and bad into the Father’s House of Prayer. When the gospel to all the World is completed, the Father will hand the judgment to Jesus in the Temple’s Most Holy, written on a roll of Seven Scrolls, each with its Seal. Before the Father and Jesus enter the Temple’s Most Holy, the final work of separating the sheep and goats will be completed. The Sealing Angel will seal the foreheads of the Bride numbered 144,000 before the Father departs the Sanctuary in the Holy City and is flown to the Temple’s Most Holy, where he waits a short time before Jesus joins him there. After the Father left Jesus in the Holy City, Jesus (Michael) stood up to protect his Bride of 144,000. He leads them a short way into the wilderness, where Angels will protect and care for them for the last 3.5 years of Great Tribulation. Their garments are spotless, and Jesus tells them to keep themselves clean. He also tells them they can follow him into the Most Holy with their prayers. Not prayers of confession, for they are overcomers like Enoch and Elishia who were taken to heaven without seeing death, for they walked with God.

Jesus saw how the existence of false brethren in the Assemblies would cause the “Way of Jesus” not to be respected by unconverted nominal believers. Many in the Assembly would turn away from instruction, and evil words would be spoken about the Father’s instructions given to Moses, the Prophets, Jesus, and his faithful followers. The world would come to hate the bible and the message of love found in the gospel because of the inconsistent lives of men who say they are followers of Jesus. Many men will stumble because they saw that the Father’s sent Holy Spirit did not control many who claim to follow Jesus. Because these sinners were in the Assembly of worship, many are in danger of thinking that God excused their sins. So, Jesus lifts the veil from our eyes so we can see that character, not position, money, or popularity, will decide man’s destiny. The parable of the tares and that of the net teach that there is no time when all the wicked will turn to God. The wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest. The good and the bad fish are together drawn ashore for a final separation. Again, these parables teach that there is to be no probation after the Father has moved into the Temple’s Most Holy. In his right hand, he holds the Sealed Scrolls, written the Judgment or Sentencing that now will punish the wicked. The apostate people who man have once decided to follow Jesus and were filled with the Fire of God but have allowed themselves to become lukewarm, lacking the daily anointing of “Oil” to keep their Lamb filled each day. When the work of the gospel ends, Matthew 24:14 immediately follows the separation between the good and the evil, and the destiny of each class is forever fixed. Probation is closed, the Gospel Door is shut, and no man can open it Revelation 3:7.

The Almighty Father and Jesus do not desire the destruction of any person born into this world. “As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn ye from your evil ways, for why will ye die?” Ezekiel 33:11. Throughout probationary time, His Spirit entreates men to accept the gift of life. Only those who reject His pleading will be left to perish. God has declared that sin must be destroyed as an evil ruinous to the universe. Those who cling to sin will perish in its destruction.

After Probation has closed Matthew 24:14, the falling away from the Truth has finished, and everyone has made their choice. As in the days of Noah, so it will be at the time of the end, and it will come. The time of the end begins the last 3.5 years of Judgment or Punishment or Sentencing upon the guilty. It is now time for the man of sin to be revealed, and when we see him standing in the holy place in the Great City of Jerusalem, know that your destiny has been sealed as guilty or forgiven.

There are two groups of Saints as Jesus opens up the first Seal in Revelation 6:1,2. The Bride of 144,000 who will go through the Great Tribulation and will be alive to see Jesus arrive from the Eastern sky. Then, the second group of Saints, also in the Lamb’s Book of Life but were not Sealed by the Sealing Angel, will face the war that the Dragon will demand the Saints to worship the Great Whore and the Beast. This group is given a tremendous promise in Daniel chapter 11, which all should read many times so that we don’t forget what the Father has promised this group. The Probation had to close before the last 3.5 years, so the Father only helps those not sealed but are in the Book of Life.
