Parable Of The Net By Jesus Is About The End Of The World: Infographic

The Parable of the Net

A Story of Fishing, Choices, and the Kingdom of Heaven

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net..."

13:47

Matthew

Jesus used a simple, everyday story of fishing in the Sea of Galilee to explain a profound truth about the world and the age to come. Let's explore the data behind the parable.

The Fisherman's Process

The life of a fisherman in ancient Israel was a cycle of hard work. The process was crucial for providing for their families and was a common sight for those listening to Jesus.

1

Cast the large dragnet into the sea.

2

Draw the full, heavy net to the shore.

3

Sit down and begin the meticulous sorting.

4

Store the good fish and discard the bad.

A Catch of Every Kind

The dragnet was not selective. It gathered a diverse collection of sea life, representing the mix of all types of people in the world.

Sorting the Catch

This was the most critical step. The fishermen separated the valuable from the worthless. This action is the central metaphor for the final judgment.

The Final Separation

Jesus explains that at the end of the age, angels will separate the evil from the righteous, leading to two very different eternal outcomes.

What Kind of Fish Will You Be?

The parable is a call to action. It encourages us to live lives of kindness, love, and obedience to God, choosing to be the "good fish" gathered for the kingdom.
