Let them both grow together until the harvest....
Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.
...they do not understand his plan, that he has gathered them as sheaves to the threshing floor.
(Sheaves of grain would be opened up and the stalks spread across the threshing floor. Pairs of donkeys or oxen (or sometimes cattle, or horses) would then be walked round and round, often dragging a heavy threshing board behind them, to tear the ears of grain from the stalks, and loosen the grain itself from the husks. After this threshing process, the broken stalks and grain were collected and then thrown up into the air with a wooden fork-like tool called a winnowing fan. The chaff would be blown away by the wind; the short torn straw would fall some distance away; while the heavier grain would fall at the winnower's feet. The grain could then be further cleansed by sieving.)

Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Go in, tread, for the wine press is full. The vats overflow, for their evil is great.
Now is that time.
A lot of what's written in "the bible" is crap that has been mistranslated and manipulated, and on top of that misinterpreted. It's just a book. Like any other book. Truth is everywhere if you choose to see it. I am not a christian. Religion is a death trap. But truth is truth. And the bible has some very accurate truths.
Most cannot get past the history and religion of the book and therefore are never able to see the truth for what it is.
But I see it.
The imagery is beautiful if not profound.
You don't have to believe it. But if you could at least allow, that it is uncanny metaphor.
Alas maybe your sense of "imagery" is not so strong.....
And maybe you cannot allow....
And maybe you cannot allow....
Your loss!
But for those that can see it..... This is that time. And what the metaphor means is that the wheat must grow to full maturity right along with the weeds. This is the time, unlike any other time, that evil will be allowed to fully mature, max out, give it its best shot. God (or anything else) will not stop it.... till its fully ripe. Then it will all self destruct under the elementary guise of "the wrath of god".
The angels....? What would fall under the same elementary guise as "aliens"?
Who knows.....................!?!
(i do)
