Matthew 13:24-30,
"Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
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?
He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
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."
Jesus tells the multitudes of people this parable, then He explains it to His disciples:
"He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
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;
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear." (Matthew 13:37-43)
We see that both are growing together, and we see this presently in this world. Wickedness like a weed is even overtaking goodness. Not that it can defeat goodness, but it is saturating every segment of society. Our world is so much LOOSER than it was even 30 years ago, and 300 years ago was so much LOOSER than say, the 1950s and so on. The Bible predicted "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." (2 Timothy 3:13)
We see the same principle at work in the parable of the net, which is pretty self explanatory:
Matthew 13:47-50,
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
Now let's focus on 2 things here:
1) In the parable of the wheat and tares the angels are commanded in regard to the tares, or weeds, to "bind them."
2) In the parable of the net the angels are to "sever the wicked from among the just."
The whisked shall be BOUND in that, they are wicked and unrepentant: therefore the only recourse is to bind them to be handed over to Gods righteous judgment. This will also include vast multitudes of professing Christian church members who have never been born again, or have in the "latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron" (1 Timothy 4:1-2)
They shall be SEVERED from among the just. Christ shall return to take the elect, and there shall be a severing, as well as a binding: "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come." (Matthew 24:40-42)
We see an ominous admonition at the end of Revelation - "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still." (Revelation 22:11)
Oh people, I would admonish you this day to not let it reach that point in the history of this world without making sure your salvation and your soul right with God. That means repentance from any and all sin. No more justifying of sin, whether it's a moral sin in regards to sexuality, or something like telling lies, or drunkenness, or filthy communication from your mouths. I have seen such a disgusting example set forth by so many who will tell me they are saved, they supposedly know Christ, but in works they deny Him, and they take His Holy name in vain by living contrary to the blessed Gospel, and they bear bitter, and rotten, and sour fruit: for Jesus said, "By their fruits ye shall know them!" (Matthew 7:20)
There needs to be some serious trembling and healthy fear of Almighty God in the land, and in the churches! The old thunder, and the fire, and the Holy storm needs to be unleashed from the pulpit, that perhaps people at ease in Zion: that is, comfortable in their pet version of Christianity, be awakened, and seek and turn to Jesus with all their hearts.
And in society, people need brought in to the Masters house, and sit at His table, and feast on His Word. Let it be as in days of old when saloons closed, and gambling halls ceased to operate because people were converted and there were no more customers for these dens of iniquity!
Revelation 14:14-20,
"And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs."
This is NOT an ALLEGORY, nor something to be spiritualized away as some inner work, with no ramifications in the physical world. Christ will return as assuredly as He said He would, and He shall send those angels, and the wicked shall be BOUND, and SEVERED from among the just, and where they go is into the winepress of the wrath of God, which in Revelation 19:15 Jesus Himself in all His power and majesty, "treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God." Not only the wrath, but the fierceness and wrath: a double whammy you do not want any part of!
You want to be wheat, not weeds. You want to be Salmon, not Eel.*
* Eel are considered unclean in Scripture, and their blood is toxic. An Eel would have been one of the fish that were cast away.
Romans 11:22, "Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off"
And there's the perseverance of the saints right there. Be sure you are in Him, growing in grace, and being in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting the coming of the day of God.... (2 Peter 3:11-22)
