Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

This parable is speaking of the kingdom of heaven; the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ on earth. The promised earthly kingdom, in which, Israel will be a holy nation, over which they will be kings, and priests. Revelation 5:10

13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

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.

In this parable, the time of the harvest is the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. At his coming, he will establish his millennial reign in his kingdom on earth. The wheat are the righteous believers, and the tares are the unbelieving wicked. The tares are the apostate, unbelieving Jews. The wheat is the believing Jewish remnant.


13:41 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;

13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

In the verses below, the Lord is speaking of the end of the world. At his coming, the just, and the wicked will be seperated. The wicked will be cast into hell, and the just will shine.

13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Oh, prolly much more likely that some handy conclusions have been jumped to, that fit nicely with our preconceptions, I bet. See how our def of Eternal does not even fit with Millenial here, and etc
