From the Gospel of Matthew    9 
from the righteous, and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will 
weep and gnash their teeth.'   (Mt 13:47 50). 
    Again, it is clear that good and evil coexist on earth until a time when 
angels separate good from bad. The Church may be compared to the net, 
which gathers both good and bad. The Church on earth contains both good 
people and evildoers. Those members of the Church who do not repent from 
their evil deeds will be thrown into Hell. 
A Prophet in His Own Country (Mt 13:53 58) 
     And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.  
(Mt 13:58). 
    This teaching is true for many places and periods of time. When a person 
or a group of people have little faith in God, they can accomplish little of 
lasting value. When the people living in a particular place or time have little 
faith in God, He does fewer mighty works for them. 
The Loaves and the Fish  
    Yes, Jesus gave us a miraculous sign by providing food for a multitude of 
people from only a few loaves and fish. This sign was a miracle from God; a 
miracle with a meaning. And it happened twice.  
    In one miracle of the loaves and fish, 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish fed 
5,000 men. There were 12 baskets of pieces left over. Descriptions of this 
miracle are found in Matthew 14:13 21, Mark 6:30 44, Luke 9:10 17, and 
John 6:1 14. In the other miracle of the loaves and fish, 7 loaves of bread 
and a few small fish fed 4,000 men. There were 7 baskets of pieces left over. 
This miracle is described in Matthew 15:32 39 and Mark 8:1 21. 
    The miracles of the loaves were prophetic events; they tell us about the 
future of God's Holy Church. In the miracle described in Matthew 15:32 39, 
the seven loaves represent the seven parts of the Church. During the 2010's, 
the Church will have greater unity than it had before, but there will still be 
divisions between Protestants and Catholics, and between several Protestant 
denominations. During the first half of the Forty Years (A.D. 2000 to 2019), 
there will be some consolidation and some steps towards unity within the 
Church. 
    There are seven loaves because there will be seven main groups of 
Christians. The few small fishes perhaps represent a few small churches or 
groups which are not part of those seven. These are farther away from unity 
with the rest of the Church. 
    The crowd has nothing to eat. This means that there is a lack of food or 
an outright famine in many countries of the world (including Europe). This
