Hello peaceful dove, He did not know them after the door was closed because He did not know them while the door was open. See Luke 13: 23-27 for another illustration of this parable. The bible teaches us that there is a time when the offer of salvation will pass, that is, the Lord will return to set up His kingdom and the lost will be lost forever (see Revelation Chapter 20). The "door" will be closed and it will be to late. The bible teaches us that there are many who confess to be christians that are not and will not be saved. The "knowing" here refers to the personal relationship that Christ has with those He has saved. 2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Not all who name His name do depart from iniquity. You might say that they are living, at times, the culture of christianity (going to church etc.) but they have not believe in faith in Christ as their savior. They do not serve Him, they do not obey Him. Luk 13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. Luk 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. It's no small point to be made that those He did not know "ate" and "drank" yet no mention of their having participated in serving. Yet they heard the truth as it was taught, they apparently took no part in it other than their own benefit. I hope this is helpful in getting you started to better understand the verse and it's context. sincerely, Jeff |
