Weeping and wailing of teeth warning study

            Here is a warning study over all the situations where people in the bible end up weeping or wailing and gnashing their teeth. This is always your disobedient people who find themselves in hell, outer darkness or rejected by Jesus because they rejected and disobeyed Him in what He would have them do. We do need to accept Jesus as our personal Lord and savior and obey Him to our best or we ourselves may well find ourselves weeping and wailing and gnashing our teeth in regret over the situation that we find ourselves in after death or rapture. I present these as warning examples in love to show us what we need to avoid in our walk, and this teaching I am going to add a salvation tract afterwards so you can know Jesus too, if you do not know Him as your personal Lord and savior already.

The first example are the people of the kingdom who did not accept Jesus then (as He knew they wouldn’t being cast into outer darkness (hell) and then ending up weeping and gnashing their teeth in regret

(Matthew 8:5)  And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

(Matthew 8:6)  And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

(Matthew 8:7)  And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

(Matthew 8:8)  The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

(Matthew 8:9)  For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

(Matthew 8:10)  When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

(Matthew 8:11)  And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

(Matthew 8:12)  But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

(Matthew 8:13)  And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

The second example is the guy who weeps and gnashes his teeth after being cast into outer darkness after lacking his wedding gown in the parable of the marriage feast. This is just my thoughts but this likely was a false or disobedient disciple.

(Matthew 22:1)  And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

(Matthew 22:2)  The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

(Matthew 22:3)  And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

(Matthew 22:4)  Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

(Matthew 22:5)  But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

(Matthew 22:6)  And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

(Matthew 22:7)  But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

(Matthew 22:8)  Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

(Matthew 22:9)  Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

(Matthew 22:10)  So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

(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.

(Matthew 22:13)  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.

(Matthew 22:14)  For many are called, but few are chosen.

In Matthew chapter 24, the weeping and gnashing of teeth is for those who foolishly say the Lord is delaying and then act in varied evil ways very foolishly and then find themselves being appointed their portion with hypocrites(which they are by their foolish behavior) and weeping and gnashing their teeth in regret after such, finding themselves missing the coming rapture and going through the tribulation period (needlessly) (or even cast to hell with the other unsaved hypocrites)

(Matthew 24:44)  Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

(Matthew 24:45)  Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

(Matthew 24:46)  Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

(Matthew 24:47)  Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

(Matthew 24:48)  But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

(Matthew 24:49)  And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

(Matthew 24:50)  The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

(Matthew 24:51)  And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The last of the three instances is where the lazy and slothful servant is thrown there after having buried the talent given him by his Lord in the Parable of the talents told by Jesus in Matthew 25. Jesus tells this parable as a stern warning to not waste the giftings that are given us by God for us to use for His glory for this guy is most severely punished for doing so out of his fear(as he admits), but the others who do use their talents and multiplied them are very much rewarded for their efforts by the same Lord. He then weeps and gnashes his teeth in deep regret over the situation he know finds himself in.

(Matthew 25:14)  For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

(Matthew 25:15)  And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

(Matthew 25:16)  Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

(Matthew 25:17)  And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

(Matthew 25:18)  But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

(Matthew 25:19)  After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

(Matthew 25:20)  And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

(Matthew 25:21)  His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

(Matthew 25:22)  He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

(Matthew 25:23)  His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

(Matthew 25:24)  Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

(Matthew 25:25)  And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

(Matthew 25:26)  His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

(Matthew 25:27)  Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

(Matthew 25:28)  Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

(Matthew 25:29)  For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

(Matthew 25:30)  And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew chapter 13 is another good example of where in this case the tares are thrown into a furnace of fire, and these are representative of evil people sown into the kingdom and these will wail and gnash their teeth in regret after ending up there. This parable has an interpretation too.

(Matthew 13:24)  Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

(Matthew 13:25)  But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

(Matthew 13:26)  But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

(Matthew 13:27)  So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

(Matthew 13:28)  He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

(Matthew 13:29)  But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

(Matthew 13:30)  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.

(Matthew 13:36)  Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

(Matthew 13:37)  He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

(Matthew 13:38)  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

(Matthew 13:39)  The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

(Matthew 13:40)  As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

(Matthew 13:41)  The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

(Matthew 13:42)  And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

(Matthew 13:43)  Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

The brief parable of the net is similar with a similar result where the bad pearls are cast away into hell and wail and gnash their teeth in regret. These are undoubtedly people who chose to reject Jesus in their lives and end up dying unsaved and wind up in hell as a result

(Matthew 13:47)  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

(Matthew 13:48)  Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

(Matthew 13:49)  So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

(Matthew 13:50)  And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Jesus speaks this to all those who reject Him as He will push them all away, and those pushed away will weep and gnash their teeth.. He encourages all though to enter in to the straight gate, being obedient. This is in Luke chapter 13

(Luke 13:24)  Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

(Luke 13:25)  When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

(Luke 13:26)  Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

(Luke 13:27)  But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

(Luke 13:28)  There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

(Luke 13:29)  And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

(Luke 13:30)  And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

Now I am adding in a few other warning and encouraging scriptures. The first is from this same Luke 13 encouraging all to repent

(Luke 13:1)  There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

(Luke 13:2)  And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

(Luke 13:3)  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

(Luke 13:4)  Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

(Luke 13:5)  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

(Luke 13:6)  He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

(Luke 13:7)  Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

(Luke 13:8)  And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

(Luke 13:9)  And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

The other is the verses in Matthew chapter 7, encouraging all to similarly enter in at the narrow path, and stay in the Father’s will, hearing Jesus word. These scriptures here are a perfect compliment to those in Luke chapter 13 which also encourage all to enter into the straight gate as well.

(Matthew 7:13)  Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

(Matthew 7:14)  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

(Matthew 7:15)  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

(Matthew 7:16)  Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

(Matthew 7:17)  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

(Matthew 7:18)  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

(Matthew 7:19)  Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

(Matthew 7:20)  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

(Matthew 7:21)  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

(Matthew 7:22)  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

(Matthew 7:23)  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

(Matthew 7:24)  Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

(Matthew 7:25)  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

(Matthew 7:26)  And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

(Matthew 7:27)  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

I present these scriptures in love not wanting any to end up like the people in them but for people to realize where they are and repent of any and all things that the Holy Spirit might bring to their minds and accept Jesus if you do not already know Him as your personal Lord and Savior. It is my strong desire to see souls saved and in heaven with Jesus and not end up going to hell in any form or miss the coming rapture. Now I am concluding this with a salvation tract where you can accept Jesus as Your savior and have a wonderful relationship with God to which nothing can compare.

The first verse of this states that none are righteous, not one and all have turned back on their own

(Romans 3:10)  As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

(Romans 3:11)  There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

(Romans 3:12)  They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

All have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory in fact but redemption is in Christ

(Romans 3:23)  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

(Romans 3:24)  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

These two verses in 1 Corinthians 15 remind us that Jesus did die for our sins and rose again

(1 Corinthians 15:3)  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

(1 Corinthians 15:4)  And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

The wages of sin are death but God’s gift of eternal life is through Jesus

(Romans 6:23)  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

God’s love for us is such that Jesus died for us while we were sinners

(Romans 5:8)  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

In Hebrews it is pointed out that Jesus has appointed to put away sin and it is for man to die once and be judged but people can look to Him for salvation

(Hebrews 9:26)  For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

(Hebrews 9:27)  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

(Hebrews 9:28)  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Here again in 2 Corinthians chapter 5 this message of all being dead but Jesus died for all and rose so we might live for Him

(2 Corinthians 5:14)  For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

(2 Corinthians 5:15)  And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

Here is the way to be saved- confess Jesus as Lord by your mouth and believe God raised Him from the dead which is explained in these two verses

(Romans 10:9)  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

(Romans 10:10)  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Paul reminds us all who call on Jesus (the Name of the Lord) will be saved.

(Romans 10:13)  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

(Romans 10:11)  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

(Romans 10:12)  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

God did not appoint us to wrath but unto salvation to live together with Him so I leave you with these words in 1 Thessalonians 5 to comfort you

(1 Thessalonians 5:9)  For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

(1 Thessalonians 5:10)  Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

(1 Thessalonians 5:11)  Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

God sent Jesus to die to restore the relationship with man which was severed by sin. There is nothing that can compare or come remotely close to a relationship with God. I am now including a prayer which you can say to invite Jesus in your heart and begin this incomparable relationship with God. Please pray this prayer with me

Heavenly Father I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I confess to You that I am a sinner and cannot save myself. I confess and repent of all of my sins and unrighteousness. Right now I confess with my mouth Jesus as the Lord of my life and believe in my heart that You, God did indeed raise Him from the dead. I thank You for cleansing and forgiving me of all of my  sins and unrighteousness and for saving me. I thank You for sending Your Son to die in my place for my sins, and for the inexpressible gift of eternal life that I now claim through the death of Jesus on the cross. Thank You, Lord, again for saving me. In the Name of Jesus I pray Amen

God bless you and yours
