Good point....Jesus said explicitly...."Let them BOTH grow until harvest......first gather the tares to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn."

The tares are the evil ones. The harvest is the end of age, the harvesters are angels. The angels will weed out all who do evil and will throw them into the fiery furnace. The righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their father.

Indeed. As I figure, it's too late for all rapture theories beyond 2003; so endure unto the end now applies to all.
Not to mention a dozen verses in OT and NT flat out stating partiality (respect of persons) isn't good nor Godly. What applies to any applies to all. By Law it's cursed every one: Galatians 3; And all perish: Colossians 2. By Grace it's blessed every one; And none perish.
Such allness of Law vs Grace notably applies to them vs us: 1Thessalonians 5:3 vs 1Thessalonians 5:9; With us-ward being what's accounted as "salvation": 2Peter 3. So then, them-ward would be accounted as the opposite: extinction; like <--BC and AD--> are accounted as opposite times.
So we'll go us-ward with Grace in AD to global salvation.
Global Reconciliation (through Jesus --> Christ) to God.
Notably by not law imputing any sin & death to anyone.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
