Bible Question (short): Who is gathered first ? |
Question (full): Who is gathered first - tares or wheat? (Question re-worded) According to the text alone, in Matt. 13:30, who is gathered first -- the tares or the wheat? What does this text actually SAY? NASB Matthew 13:30 'Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, "*FIRST* GATHER UP THE TARES and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn" ' (emphasis added). If the tares (the wicked) are gathered first, does this affect your interpretation of eschatology (the doctrine of future things; prophecy)? |
