The End of the World compared to Harvest.
Mat. 13.39. — The Harvest is the End of the World.
When the Harvest is ripe, 'tis cut down; the Husband-man sends Reapers into the Field: So when all the Elect are ripe for Heaven, and Wickedness is grown to full Maturity; so that ungodly Ones are all ripe for Hell, the End of the World will come, and then God will send Reapers into the Field, which are the holy Angels; and they will cut down, and gather out of the Field, all Things that offend, and them that do Iniquity.
WHen the Harvest is ripe, 'tis cut down; the Husband-man sends Reapers into the Field: So when all the Elect are ripe for Heaven, and Wickedness is grown to full Maturity; so that ungodiy Ones are all ripe for Hell, the End of the World will come, and then God will send Reapers into the Field, which are the holy Angels; and they will cut down, and gather out of the Field, all Things that offend, and them that do Iniquity.
II. At the Harvest, the Reapers divide between the good and evil Grain; they bind up the Wheat by it self, and the Tares by themselves, &c. So shall these spiritual Reapers do, they shall gather all the Elect, like Wheat, into God's Garner, and bind up the Tares into Bundles, to be burned.
