The Last Harvest An Exposition of the Parable of the Tares (Matt 13.24–30, 36–43) The watershed between this age and the age to come is Judgment Day. Scripture (Hos 6.11; Joel 3.12, 13; Rev 14.14–20) and ancient literature (2 Baruch 70.2; 2 Esdras 4.26–32) adopt the metaphor of a harvest to describe it. So did Jesus in this parable. If there is one point to be made, it is this: For now, the wicked coexist with God's kingdom. In the end, they will be taken away in judgment. •The Parable of the Tares (Matt 13.24–30) •The Parable of the Tares Explained (Matt 13.36–43) ✓Setting: private and privileged ✓Symbolism: the seven elements of Jesus, the world, believers, unbelievers, the devil, Judgment Day, and angels ✓Substance: before the harvest time, during the harvest time, and after the harvest time •The Parable of the Tares Applied ✓Embrace a biblical perspective on the church and the world ✓Tremble at the coming doom of the wicked ✓Rejoice in the hope of the righteous
