The Wheat and the Chaff
In the parable of the tares and wheat in Matthew 13:24-30, the "man" symbolizes Jesus, the "good seed" symbolizes every good work that God has ever done in the world especially His good works that He has put into every living human, and the "field" symbolizes the world. Ecclesiastes 9:1. The "tares" symbolize evil which the Devil has injected into the being of every human. Evil is foreign to the beings of humans because God created all humans to be "very good." Genesis 1:31. Original sin, which is spiritual death, causes good humans to sin, but sin also caused spiritual death as it did with Adam and Eve. Romans 5:12.
God cannot lose anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14. All of God's creations has been polluted by evil, but in the end of the world, God will absolutely recover and recreate all of His good creations, including all living humans. Romans 11:36; Romans 8:18-23; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5.
According to verse 29, God will not allow the tares to be separated from the wheat as long as the wheat still grows. God will cause every living human to complete the good works that He has given them to do. The Devil aims to nullify a part of God's good works to show that God's Love cannot be Almighty. The Devil aims to cause God to permanently lose something that He created and loves. The Devil desires to eventually be able to overthrow God and take His place. Isaiah 14:12-17. God will not allow any individual human's good works that He has given them to do to be lost from Him because His good life in every human has been rooted up before his human growth as wheat has been completed. In other words, God cannot lose and will recover all of His good works and good lives that He has ever created and put into every living human. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Romans 11:29; Romans 11:36; Revelation 4:11; Revelation 22:11-12.
According to verse 30, in the time of "harvest," which symbolizes Christ's Judgment in the end of the world, God will effect an absolute separation of all His good works and good lives that He has put into every individual human confined within the regions of death from their spiritual deaths which He will cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 22:11-12. But in order to avoid a permanent spiritual death of their good lives, they must return to the faith that God put into them that the Lamb of God can save them from the regions of death. This event will happen as prophesied in Revelation 5:11-14. Christ will be able to separate their sins and spiritual deaths from them because He bore them all upon the cross and left them all behind in Hell when He rose immaculate from the dead. All of the Old Testament burnt offering sacrifices symbolizes Christ's descent into Hell to accomplish this form of salvation. Genesis 8:20-21; Hebrews 2:9. Jesus did not apply this parable to humans saved by grace because God annuls their spiritual deaths the moment they repent and believe. John 5:24. All humans saved by grace will enjoy a home with God in Heaven forever. All humans saved from the regions of death will enjoy recreated lives on God's eternal, recreated earth. In the end of the world, God will gather His "wheat" into His "barn," which symbolizes His recreated earth. Revelation 21:1-5.
