The Unsettling Solution for Just About Everything Part 3: Party Pooper

December 12, 2021 • Zach Thwaits

The end times banquet is a theme we see throughout scripture. Isaiah prophesied about this banquet roughly 700 years before the birth of Jesus (Isaiah 25:6-9). It is a beautiful picture of how God will have a feast for people from all over the world at the end of the age. At the time of Jesus, there was much debate over who would participate in this feast. Isaiah’s prophesy became quite unpopular due to his belief gentiles would be a part of the banquet. At a sabbath meal, presumably after worshipping together at the synagogue, a Pharisee asks Jesus his views on who will be present at the end times meal.
