It's Day 30 and we're in Matthew 24.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 3 - There is a plan.
Help:
- Verses 4-51 - This all is generally considered to have to do with "end of the world" stuff. There's a ton of details here, but the two key verses are 36 and 42. Verse 36 reminds us how much we don't know. Verse 42 reminds us to always be ready.
- Verse 34 - The word "generation" can mean "generation" or "race." Some take the verse to refer to the Fall of Jerusalm in A.D. 70, which would put it with a generation. Some take it to mean that it'll happen before the end of the world.

Your Questions:
- Chapter 22: "Vs 8 says "those who were invited were not worthy" .... Yet in verse 10 ..."servants sent out and gathered both bad and good" .... Question: were those bad that were gathered worthy? Am I missing something?" - It's important to include v. 11 in your consideration, because there the king shows that he expects the guests to have the proper clothes. Here's the analogy: the Jews were those originally invited who rejected the invitation; because of that, God opened the opportunity to everyone; even though the invitation has been extended, we still need to "dress" in the clothes that are proper for the wedding (i.e. the righteousness of Christ). The fact that everyone (good and bad) had the opportunity to come doesn't mean that any behavior is ok - they needed to be dressed in Christ's salvation.
