Read the wheat and the tares (Matt. 13: 42-30). The tares are taken first - the wheat is left behind. I would rather be left behind!

In that section of Matthew’s Gospel record Jesus is addressing Jews under the Jewish compact written about in Daniel’s weeks. The reference to wheat and tares refers to what occurs at the end of the Tribulation, not before it starts, as the Rapture will happen with the Church, under the covenant with the Bride, before the tribulation period dealing with the close of the covenants with the Jews.

I thought both are harvested at the same time, and separated, the tares in bundles to be burned at the wheat in heaps to be winnowed.

They are harvested together but the tares are separated from the wheat, bundled then burned,
