Chris.
Weeping and gnashing of teeth is for people who have been cast out of the Kingdom of God. There are two important facts here. First fact: Weeping and gnashing of teeth is physically something that may take place as punishment. Second fact: It will be the experience for those people cast out of the Kingdom of God. I realise my need today of two things: the Fear of the Lord and Wisdom from the Lord.
