Ishaiah 65
8 Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.
A remnant of Hebrews are chosen for salvation.
Matthew 13
24 ....The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field....
A remnant of all mankind, Hebrews and Gentiles, are chosen for salvation.
Romans 8
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
A remnant of Christians are chosen for salvation. And, finally, the fate of those not chosen:
Isaiah 65
11 But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.

Poisonous Rye
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.
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;
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;
42 and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
The saving grace of Jesus Christ and the profound comfort that comes it - it is hard to comprehend in the face of this parable. I can smell the burning flesh - of this burnt offering.
And yet....I pray, peacefully....with blessd assurance....

Fire
Leviticus 2
3 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
5 And Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD.
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.
Fire in old testament was for burnt offenings. In the New Testament, fire is for the unsaved.
