This phrase is part of the Parable of the Weeds, where Jesus explains the coexistence of good and evil in the world. The "both" refers to the wheat and the weeds, symbolizing the righteous and the wicked. The instruction to let them grow together highlights God's patience and the current age of grace, where judgment is postponed until the appointed time. This reflects the reality of the church and the world, where believers and non-believers coexist. The concept of waiting until the harvest aligns with the biblical theme of divine timing, as seen in <a href="/ecclesiastes/3.htm">Ecclesiastes 3:1</a>, which speaks of a time for every purpose under heaven.At that time I will tell the harvesters: The "harvesters" are identified later in the parable as angels (<a href="/matthew/13-39.htm">Matthew 13:39</a>). This indicates a divine intervention at the end of the age, where angels are tasked with executing God's judgment. The use of angels as agents of judgment is consistent with other biblical passages, such as <a href="/revelation/14-14.htm">Revelation 14:14-19</a>, where angels are involved in the harvest of the earth. This phrase underscores the authority of Christ, who commands the angels, and His role as the ultimate judge.First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; The "weeds" represent the sons of the evil one, as explained in <a href="/matthew/13-38.htm">Matthew 13:38</a>. The act of collecting and bundling them for burning signifies the final judgment and the fate of the wicked. Burning is a common biblical metaphor for judgment and destruction, as seen in passages like <a href="/malachi/4.htm">Malachi 4:1</a>, which describes the day of the Lord as burning like a furnace. This imagery serves as a warning of the consequences of rejecting God.then gather the wheat into my barn.’” The "wheat" symbolizes the sons of the kingdom, the righteous who will inherit eternal life. Gathering the wheat into the barn represents the final gathering of believers into God's eternal kingdom. This imagery of a barn as a place of safety and provision is consistent with the biblical portrayal of God's care for His people, as seen in <a href="/psalms/91.htm">Psalm 91:1-2</a>. The barn signifies the security and rest found in God's presence, contrasting with the fate of the weeds.
