Forgotten Promises Resurrected, Matthew 13:43

End of Days

If you aren’t familiar with the Parable of the Wheat and Tares it can be found in Matthew 13:24-30

…Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”

Wheat and Tares

Jesus answered and said to them: "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.  The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.

The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.  Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

I will break this down so that it may be easier for you to understand:

• The Son of Man is Jesus

• The sons of the kingdom are believers.  In other words, those who accepted Jesus as their personal savior.

• Wicked one is the Devil—the Father of lies 

• Harvest in the end of days, rather the end on the world 

• Wheat refers to believers

• Tares can become wheat at any time, they have free will

Matthew 13:39 Commentaries: and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels.
