Eschatology
Kingdom of God: The Beginning of the End
Put metaphorically:
"What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? It is like a
mustard
seed, which a man took and planted in his garden.
It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches." (Luke 13:18-19)
"The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and
sowed weeds among the
wheat
, and went away." (Matthew 13:24-25)
"The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet
when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a
tree
, so that the birds come and perch in its branches." (Matthew
13:31-32)
"The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of
flour
until it worked all through the
dough." (Matthew 13:33)
"The kingdom of heaven is like
treasure
hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all
he had and bought that field." (Matthew 13:44)
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine
pearls
. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold
everything he had and bought it." (Matthew 13:45-46)
"The kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of
fish
." (Matthew 13:47)
"The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a
wedding
banquet for his son." (Matthew 22:2)
