The "end of the age" is a concept that appears throughout the New Testament, indicating a time when God's final judgment will occur. In <a href="/matthew/24-3.htm">Matthew 24:3</a>, the disciples ask Jesus about the signs of His coming and the end of the age, showing their understanding of a future climax in God's redemptive plan. This phrase underscores the certainty of divine intervention in human history, aligning with Old Testament prophecies such as <a href="/daniel/12.htm">Daniel 12:1-3</a>, which speak of a time of great tribulation followed by deliverance and judgment.The angels will come: Angels are often depicted in Scripture as messengers and agents of God's will. In the context of judgment, they are seen as executors of divine justice. <a href="/hebrews/1-14.htm">Hebrews 1:14</a> describes angels as ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation, indicating their role in God's plan. The imagery of angels coming to carry out God's judgment is consistent with other biblical passages, such as <a href="/revelation/14-17.htm">Revelation 14:17-19</a>, where angels are involved in the harvest of the earth, symbolizing the gathering of people for judgment.And separate the wicked from the righteous: The act of separation is a common theme in Jesus' parables, illustrating the final judgment. This separation is reminiscent of the parable of the sheep and the goats in <a href="/matthew/25-31.htm">Matthew 25:31-46</a>, where the righteous are distinguished from the wicked based on their actions and faithfulness. The concept of separation is rooted in the holiness of God, who distinguishes between those who follow His ways and those who do not. This separation is not merely a physical act but a spiritual discernment, reflecting the moral and ethical standards set by God. The righteous are those who have been justified by faith, as seen in <a href="/romans/5.htm">Romans 5:1</a>, while the wicked are those who have rejected God's offer of salvation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The speaker of this parable, Jesus is teaching about the Kingdom of Heaven and the final judgment. 2. <a href="/topical/a/angels.htm">Angels</a> Heavenly beings who serve God and are tasked with separating the wicked from the righteous at the end of the age. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_wicked.htm">The Wicked</a> Those who have rejected God and His commandments, destined for separation from the righteous. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_righteous.htm">The Righteous</a> Those who have accepted God’s grace and live according to His will, destined for eternal life. 5. <a href="/topical/e/end_of_the_age.htm">End of the Age</a> A future event when God will judge the world, separating the righteous from the wicked.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_certainty_of_judgment.htm">The Certainty of Judgment</a> The passage assures believers that a final judgment will occur, emphasizing the importance of living a life aligned with God’s will. <a href="/topical/r/role_of_angels.htm">Role of Angels</a> Angels are depicted as active participants in God’s plan, reminding us of the spiritual realities beyond our physical world. <a href="/topical/r/righteousness_and_wickedness.htm">Righteousness and Wickedness</a> The distinction between the righteous and the wicked is clear, urging believers to examine their lives and ensure they are living in accordance with God’s standards. <a href="/topical/u/urgency_of_the_gospel.htm">Urgency of the Gospel</a> Knowing that a separation will occur at the end of the age, believers are encouraged to share the Gospel with urgency, so others may come to know Christ. <a href="/topical/h/hope_for_believers.htm">Hope for Believers</a> The promise of being gathered with the righteous provides hope and encouragement for believers to persevere in their faith.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_matthew_13.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Matthew 13</a> <a href="/q/what_if_a_net_catches_all_fish.htm">What happens when a net catches all kinds of fish?</a> <a href="/q/what_does_'gnashing_of_teeth'_mean.htm">What does 'gnashing of teeth' mean?</a> <a href="/q/what_does_the_bible_say_about_hell.htm">What does the Bible say about bodies in Hell?</a> <a href="/q/what_is_the_theme_of_the_second_death.htm">What is the theme of The Second Death?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/13.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 49. - So shall it be at (in, Revised Version) the end of the world (cf. vers. 39, 40, notes): the angels shall come forth (ver. 41), and sever.
