People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God — the eschatological banquet table receives guests from every direction while the gatekeepers of the covenant are excluded. The great reversal that closes the section: indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last. The kingdom inverts every expectation about who is inside and who is outside.
