"For the timeis comethat judgment must begin at the house of God: and ifitfirstbeginat us, what shall the endbeof them that obey not the gospel of God?"
In the Parable of the Tares we see the field showing up altogether a different result over a period of time. The servants ask their Master, "from whence then hath it tares?/He said unto them, An enemy hath done this." (Mt.13.27-28) The Lord of the house is longsuffering and he is fully aware of Satan and his wiles. "Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them./Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn."(Mt.13.29-30)
"But gather the wheat into my barn." The will of God has reserved where His barn shall be. "In my Father's house are many mansions," including the outer darkness and lake of fire. It is presented when the new heaven and new earth are inaugurated. "for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea." The physical world is out and also the sea that was designated symbolically for ungodly nations. In the will of God was a body, a glorious spiritual prepared for the Son. and consequently nothing of the natural body of man what is designated as earthy shall remain. This is the House of Prayer for all nations. "Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people."(Isa.56.4-7) The Spirit refers 'even them' inclusive of Nations of Israel and of Gentiles who hold on to the everlasting Covenant. They shall have an everlasting name besides the name of the Father in their foreheads. (Rev.14.1); "and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written."
