Question

Jesus parable about good and bad people,and the end of the age.Question: which will be removed first at Christ's return.Also,when two people are working in the field,when one is taken but another left,why are the people being taken and where to.

Answer 1

Taken by Anti-christ..The ones left are the good ones working in the fields..

The Tares are Satan children.
13:38 The field is the world *; the good seed are * the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil *; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

Answer 2

Jesus parable about good and bad people,and the end of the age.Question: which will be removed first at Christ's return. Since the judgment will apparently be one by one, neither may be 'removed' first.
AS for the people in the field, one taken, one left; there is a very definite pattern in scripture. Often, the people to be spared destruction are taken before it happens(Enoch, Lot & family before Sodom& Gomorrah destroyed, Noah, etc) I would not be surprised if faithful Christians are taken before the second coming, which is also before Judgment Day (others can come to Christ after the faithful leave but before Judgment Day).

Answer 3

Matt.25:31-34,61,64 Angels do not die. Luke 20:34-36 and for sure the fire is everlasting and for sure any put there is there and not in favor with the God they oppose. The sheep or wheat or just and meek are spearated from the goat.

John 6:39,40,44 and John 14:3 A place is prepared for them to be raised up at the last day, Rev.12:1 [ Michael holy angels of Gen.3:15 prophecy ] cast down to earth 3,4,6-11,12 [ Satan and unholy angels of Gen.3:15 prophecy to be under the feet of the raised up Rom.16:20 and Luke 10:18 ]; Michael is ther to the end or finish 1Thes.4:15-17 [ Jesus returned to heaven to wait intil his enemies are a stool for his feet or upon the footstool earth Acts 2:27-35; Matt.22:42-44; Heb.1:1-13 ];

Michael of Jude 9 or Daniel 12:1-13;

Dan.12:1-7 [2500 after Babylon ]; 8-10 [ 2520 after Babylon ]; 11 [2580 and 12 is 2670 ]; Michael and holy angel stand against Satan and unholy angels for all the time SATAN HAS A SHORT TIME AND IS ANGRY BEFORE Rev.20:1-6 [ No Satan ]; But the heavenly of new heavens are there with Jesus to 12,13 resurrect those for the new earth.

Answer 4

Good people will be taken first, and the bad ones left...

When all the good people leave, some that were undecided about God will probably convert, and then when they die they will go to Heaven. But because they did not accept before, they all will go through the tribulation period, which will last 7 years. Then God will come and take away the people who realized he was real.

The reason God will take the good people is to end the time they must spend on this earth, and to start the end of the world, so He can make all things new again.

Those that are taken will be taken strait to Heaven, without having to die. It is believed that they will be taken out of their very cloths... and taken to Heaven.

Hope that answers your question!

Answer 5

With the context of the parable concerning the lives of the pharisees and the other surrounding parables...I think the parable is talking about not trying to live a separitist lifestyle. The separation of good and evil people is not for right now, that is in the future and will be done by God Himself, not us. This is most likely in response to the pharisees and others who were trying to force the Kingdom of God (as they saw it) on their own culture at that very moment.

Answer 6

Matthew 13:30 ...gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Two people working in the field (Matther 24:40) is comparing the end of the world to Noah's time. It is saying that people will be working together and some will be taken to heaven and some will not. I take that to mean that some in the church will not go to heaven and some will. "Working in the field"...would be giving the message to the world.

Answer 7

Some use this as the rapture, but it is really just a way of saying that some will go to heaven and some will not. Letting the tares and wheat grow together insures that those that are true Christians are not accidental destroyed along with the weeds.

Answer 8

The wheat and the tares are two types of people in the church. Some church goers are true Christians, others are Christian in name only. Satan has sown the false Christians in with the true Christians to corrupt the church. It is easy to see that this tactic has worked very well by the responses of some professed Christians on YA, and by the actions of many professed Christians that we meet on a daily basis.

Prior to the second coming of Christ, there will be a separating of the wheat from the tares, the sheep from the goats. It is important to understand that both the wheat and the tares are in the church. Those in the world have already made their choice. God judges the heart and knows the innermost thoughts. Because God alone is all knowing, the wheat must be separated from the tares so that only the true Christians in thought and deed enter the kingdom.

The judgment of the righteous happens first. Described in Daniel 7, this judgment happens in heaven. All those who believe in Christ are judged favorably and possess the kingdom. When Jesus comes according to Revelation 22, His reward is with Him to give to the righteous. Only true believers are judged at this time. These are represented by the wheat in the church. This judgment is called the investigative judgment. It is for the benefit of the angels and other heavenly beings in whose presence the redeemed will live. These heavenly beings who are not all knowing will want to be sure that only true believers are in heaven. They will want to be sure that it will be safe to have me and you there, former sinners. This judgment will answer any questions the heavenly beings have about the justice of God in allowing some to be saved while others perish.

When Jesus comes, the wheat are taken back to heaven. All the rest of the inhabitants of earth die at the second coming. Matthew 24:37-41 states:

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left

Notice what happens when Jesus comes back. The righteous (wheat) are taken back to heaven. The wicked are left behind as those in Noah's day were left behind who did not get in the ark. What happened to those in Noah's day? They all drowned. Those who are wicked when Jesus comes back will cry for the rocks and mountains to fall on them to hide them from the face of Jesus, the Righteous One.

During the millenium, the believers are in heaven going over the books to discover why the wicked are not there. It is at this time that the fallen angels will be judged as well.
This second judgment is to answer the questions the redeemed have about the justice of God in allowing some to be saved while others are lost.

Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 1 Corinthians 6:3

Punishment will be meted out according to what is just for each nonbeliever. During this 1000 years, according to Revelation 20, Satan and his demonic angels are confined to this earth with no one to tempt. All the righteous are in heaven. The wicked are dead. Satan will be bound in that there will be no one left to lead astray.

At the end of the 1000 years, the New Jerusalem will come down from God out of heaven with all the redeemed. The wicked will be raised to receive sentencing. This last judgment, known as the executive judgment will show the wicked exactly where they have rejected the call to salvation and will answer their questions about why they are not fit for heaven and eternal life. Every knee will bow, including Satan's to declare God to be just in his dealings with sin and sinners.

Fire will come down out of heaven and destroy the wicked according to the sentence each one received. God will destroy sin and the sinners who insisted on clinging to that sin despite God's best efforts to save them from destruction. Sin and sinners will be no more. God will create a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness will reign.

Answer 9

Jesus spoke in parables so you would not understand. Give it up.

Mark 4:11-12
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
