Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe -So Jesus saith, “let both grow together until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them;” and this He explains, “The harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the Angels”Matthew 13:30,Matthew 13:39.
