47
The kingdom of the heavens is like a dragnet thrown
into the sea, and gathering up [fish] of every kind.
48
When it got full they [the
angels] hauled
it up onto the beach [put people
into the heavenly church of the 1AC, the first call into faith], and sitting
down [in judgement], they collected the fine ones into
vessels, the rotten they threw outside [of
the vessels into Gehenna, the fiery furnace. So the vessels must be salvation
covenants].
49
This is how it will be in the
conclusion of the system of things. The angels [1NC
Kings] will go out and separate the
wicked ones out of the midst of the righteous ones, and will cast them into the fiery
furnace [the extinction level
volcanic event, the flood of lava].
There is where the weeping and the gnashing of teeth will be
(Matthew 13).
There are no repeated countable nouns, there are no double designations and there is no parallel account. It therefore has no word symbolism. The parable is about the church 1AC (the beach). Verse 49 is not an explanation of the parable it is a comparison of the parable (and by implication of its meaning) with the conclusion of the system of things.
So what is going to happen on earth at the end is what has been happening in heaven from the beginning.
