*Francis Reign* (Ap & Coach)
_"Raising excellent agents of change and transformation, well equipped with Truth and Wisdom."_
*UNDERSTANDING THE ACTS AND WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST (163)*
_"Again, the Kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad"_ (Matthew 13:47-48).
Why doesn't our heavenly King sort out His earthly realm? Is this really the best God can do? How can so much evil and injustice exist in the world? Why doesn't God act? That's a question that never goes away. What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now! King Jesus explains to His hurting people, "Not so fast. God will finally sort out His world, but not yet." It's not a popular answer. Some of His subjects are angry: "If God has the power and He cares, He can't let this go on. Is He impotent, or doesn't He care? Within the world, you find all sorts of people, good and bad, in close proximity. The fish can't sort themselves out. They have to wait until the One in Charge decides it's time to pull out the net.
It's not that God doesn't know, or doesn't care. He will, but He's waiting for the right time. He won't sort it out until the end of the fishing expedition. It's not up to the fish to separate themselves; God will give that task to His angels at the end of the era. There will be a great sorting out. The bad ones will be destroyed in the fiery furnace with great lament and regret, so only the right ones enjoy the King's reign forever. Human rulers don't have that kind of patience. Mortar rulers only have a brief time to impose their will.
The one who reigns forever is in no hurry to force His subjects into submission, to make them behave. He's waiting for the harvest to grow in His field. He tolerates the weeds rather than damage the wheat. His mustard seed is still growing into the tree that fill the world. Like yeast working through the dough, His Kingdom is still rising. Yes, there are good and bad fish in God's lake. He already has the net in the water, and He will draw it out, very soon. And then we shall all appear before the judgement seat of God, no exceptions. Take heart, justice is on the way.
*EXCELLENCE KEY* 🗝️
_To speak of God's Kingdom is thus to invoke God as the sovereign one who has the right, the duty and the power to deal appropriately with evil in the world._
