Terrible destruction is prophesied against Judah and Jerusalem. The trumpet will sound the battle call, but no one will get ready, because they are under God’s fury.

Yesterday in Matthew 25, we heard two parables that speak about being ready for Christ’s return. Something that is repeated in the parables on this topic is that, “outside there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Jesus is by that teaching an important idea: That the punishment in hell will be conscious punishment (shown by the weeping), and it will be painful (as shown by the gnashing of teeth).
Translation notes:
31 “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the
angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. 32All the
nationse will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the
people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will
place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left.
Translation note:
14 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip. He called together his servants and entrusted [them to do business with//0] his money [0//to them] while he was gone.
21 “The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and
faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small
amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. [Come! Celebrate together with me!//Let’s celebrate together!]’
23 ending same as at the end of 21.
25 I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it [a hole in the ground//in the earth]. Look, here is your money back.’
45 “And [I/he] will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’
