🎙️Jesus Teaches Disciples The Reality of Judgement 🎧

🎙️Welcome to today’s episode, Jesus Teaches Disciples The Reality of Judgement 🎧

In Matthew 13, Jesus tells the parable of the wheat and the tares. A farmer plants good seed, but an enemy scatters weeds among it. The servants want to pull the weeds up, but the master says, “Let both grow together until the harvest.” At harvest time, the separation happens: the wheat is gathered into the barn, and the tares are burned.

This is not just a story—it’s prophecy. Jesus was preparing His disciples to understand the final judgment. The righteous and the wicked grow together now, but the harvest is coming.

That’s why He told them in Matthew 13:16–17: “Blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see and did not see it, and to hear what you hear and did not hear it.” They were seeing God’s plan unfold in real time, a plan the prophets could only anticipate.

And Revelation gives us the full picture of that harvest. In Revelation 14, John sees “one like a son of man” with a sharp sickle in His hand. The earth is reaped. The faithful are gathered to the Lord like wheat brought into the barn. But then another angel swings his sickle, and the grapes of the earth—representing the wicked—are thrown into the great winepress of the wrath of God. It’s the same truth Jesus taught in parable form: there will be a day when God separates forever, the righteous to eternal life and the wicked to judgment.

The parable of the wheat and the tares, and the vision in Revelation, stand together as one message: God’s patience allows both to grow for now, but His justice will not delay forever. The harvest is coming.

Today, we’ll walk through how Jesus opened His disciples’ eyes to this reality, how it connects to Revelation’s vision of the end, and what it means for us right now.⁠
