Bible Question: We are studying the "Keys to the Kingdom" WHAT IS YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SAVED PEOPLE BEING OUTSIDE THE GATES OF THE KINGDOM. |
Bible Answer: SAVED PEOPLE BEING OUTSIDE THE GATES OF THE KINGDOM First, I'd have to ask "saved from what?" If you are asking about people who are IN heaven and see sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven, but later get cast out. Matthew 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Yes, that occurs, the scattering part of the scatter/gather (four carpenters and four scatterers) cycle as illustrated by the repetitive cycle beginning with Eden, repeated over and over in the garden with the hedge around it/jerusalem with a wall around it, being invaded by Assyria and Babylon and even in minor scale where Jesus was "captured" and His apostles scatter. Mark 12:8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. Luke 20:15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Though scattering "seems bad" (remember the talking donkey, and Jospeph being sold) Seeds must scatter to survive. Back on topic, yes, some are cast out, those who enter by any way other than the gate, get in, but are cast out. Revelation 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. Isaiah 31:3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together. Daniel 11:34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries Luke 1:54 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; 1 Kings 18:4 For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.) 1 Kings 18:13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water? but, yes come are cast out of eternal heaven Matthew 22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: Matthew 22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are chosen. how did he get in in the first place? John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. Acts 14:27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. Hebrews 4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: Jude 1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. These were "saved" out of the bondage of Egypt, but never entered the "promised land" ... Thos who later entered, were "cast out", and later "gathered" as Jesus sent disciples to gather the scattered remnants after feeding the multitudes, so Jesus sends Angels to gather the elect, after the supper. |
