Jesus says about the Judgment Day, “The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will
gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will
cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous
will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him
hear!” Jesus then says, “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man
found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the
kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one
pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it” (Mt. 13:41-46).
