"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. So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Sometimes it is hard, so very hard to remember that I am called to present the Good News to all, not just the individuals I like. It is hard, so very hard to remember that the separation of the evil from the righteous will be at the end of the age, not now. It is hard, so very hard to remember that I am not called to make the separation but specially designated angel will be.
