It is often used in the New Testament to describe the fate of the unrighteous in the final judgment (<a href="/matthew/8-12.htm">Matthew 8:12, 22</a>:13, 25:30). The imagery suggests not only physical suffering but also deep emotional and spiritual torment. The "weeping" indicates sorrow and loss, while "gnashing of teeth" conveys anger and frustration. This expression underscores the seriousness of rejecting God's salvation.when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are the patriarchs of Israel, representing God's covenant promises to His people (<a href="/genesis/12.htm">Genesis 12:1-3, 26</a>:3-5, 28:13-15). Their presence in the kingdom of God signifies the fulfillment of these promises and the inclusion of the faithful. The mention of "all the prophets" highlights the continuity of God's revelation and the faithfulness of those who proclaimed His word. This scene emphasizes the reality of the kingdom and the reward for those who have lived by faith, as seen in <a href="/hebrews/11.htm">Hebrews 11</a>.but you yourselves are thrown out This phrase serves as a stark warning to those who assume they are part of God's kingdom based on heritage or external observance rather than genuine faith and repentance.

The exclusion from the kingdom is a consequence of rejecting Jesus as the Messiah and failing to produce the fruits of repentance (<a href="/matthew/7-21.htm">Matthew 7:21-23</a>, <a href="/luke/3-8.htm">Luke 3:8-9</a>).

No less than six times is this terrible formula, which expresses the intensest form of anguish, found in St. Matthew's Gospel. St. Luke only gives us the account of one occasion on which they were spoken. They indicate, as far as merely earthly words and symbols can, the utter misery of those unhappy ones who find themselves shut out from the kingdom in the world to come. "Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob." In his revision of St. Luke's Gospel, Marcion, the famous Gnostic heretic, in place of these names, which he strikes out, inserts "all the just."
