The parable of wheat and tares is revisited in Revelations, when the Angels are sent forth to first gather the tares and take them for burning, before harvesting the wheat. Since the Bible teaches to some of us that Christians will be Raptrued away before the Great Tribulation, who would you estimate are the wheat of Revelations?
Hmm, got an extraneous “s” on the end of Revelation. Meant to refer tot he book, not the particular passages generically.
A lot of people fail to study far enough to understand that one don’t they. The gathering of the tares is happening AFTER the 1000 year reign of Christ on earth.
Post-tribs, such as myself, in terms of a harvest, see the rapture in Rev. 14:14-16. Relating it to the parable of the wheat and the tares, the harvest of the wheat is in 14-16, the tares in 18-20. In Revelation, the tares are equivalent to those who take the mark of beast, the wheat are faithful Christians.
The mark of the beast serves to gather the tares out of God’s kingdom into the antichrist’s kingdom, the tares are thus gathered to be burnt. Not burnt then, gathered to be burnt. The wheat are then harvested as we see in Rev. 14, followed by the burning of the tares.
Pay attention, Tennessee, cause you ain’t going anywhere. Don’t forget our little discussion here. You’ll have to deal with this in the tribulation, as to whether you’ll take the mark and be tares or not.
In my view, things like the recent SCOTUS decision are already separating people out. To be finalized in the tribulation.
Good luck; as I've been waiting a LONG time for and answer to, "Who are the Dead in Christ?"
