The Wheat, Tares & Chaff

Jeremiah 2:21, “Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?” 

Matthew 13:38 "...but the tares are the children of the wicked one.."

Matthew 13:25 "But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way."
Revelation 18:4 "...Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."
Acts 10:34 "...God is no respecter of persons..."

Matthew 13:39 "... and the reapers are the angels."
Angels = messengers (God's people who proclaim the truths to the world)

Matthew 13:39 "...the harvest is the end of the world;"

world - greek word "aion" which means an "age" preceding Christ's return

1844 - testing truths came and investigative judgment started (harvest begun where angels(God's messengers) started to reap & gather the wheat from the tares by presenting the testing truths to the world)
wheat - accepted the 3 angels messages
tares - rejected the 3 angels messages

Events DURING & AFTER the Harvest:
1. reapers reap or cut the wheat stalks and separates the wheat from tares and bundle the wheat stalks together (in the field)
----- Wheat & Tares - wheat will accept the truth while tares will cling to errors
2. taking the bundled wheat stalks into the threshing floor where the wheat will be sifted in order to separate the wheat and the chaff (in the threshing floor)
----- Wheat & Chaff - after the wheat receives the truth, sifting and winnowing process follows and the chaff will be blown away with the wind
3. the wheat grains are then gathered into the barn
4. the tares and chaff are burnt (Matthew 13:40, 42; 3:12)
