Matthew 13:40 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 13:40

As therefore the tares are gathered
As it is represented in the parable, that in the time of harvest, the tares shall be gathered out from the wheat first; and being bound in bundles, shall be

burnt in the fire,
prepared for that purpose,

so shall it be in the end of this world;
hypocritical and heretical men, and all formal professors, shall be gathered out from among the saints, and the several churches, among whom they have been; and shall be together cast into everlasting burnings, prepared for the devil and his angels, whose children they are.

Matthew 13:40 In-Context

38 the field is the world; the good seed--these are the sons of the Kingdom; the darnel, the sons of the Evil one.

39 The enemy who sows the darnel is *the Devil*; the harvest is the Close of the Age; the reapers are the angels.

40 As then the darnel is collected together and burnt up with fire, so will it be at the Close of the Age.

41 The Son of Man will commission His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of sin and all who violate His laws;

42 and these they will throw into the fiery furnace. There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.
