Coincidentally, as we inch forward to "the ultimate deal" as President Trump puts it, the nation is becoming more and more divided politically.
Throwing these, which I think shows the increasing divide, out there for discussion:
Portland brawl between 'ANTIFA' and 'Patriot Prayer' this past week:
Violence in NYC involving leftists and Proud Boys:

I remember it being bad during the Nixon administration, and again during the 2nd Bush years, but this mess we're in now seems worse. It may be because there's more angles to this one. I know there were bombings and violence during Nixon's time, but we have so much going on with schools shootings, attacks against police, and the list just goes on and on. The whole world seems to have gone mad.

This is the separation of the wheat from the tares. Both parties have their sins and denials of Christ. |

This is the separation of the wheat from the tares. Both parties have their sins and denials of Christ. Socal, I read your post and realized that the wheat and the tares are both less-than-desirable (as you have mentioned) as far as the Lord is concerned. Thus, it is not the "saved barley," but the wheat. Thus the order: barley (Rev. 14:1), the enraptured wheat (Rev. 14:16), the harvested grapes (Rev. 14:16), the pressed So if the tares are separated from the wheat at Rev. 14:16, then by definition the tares must be the grapes. It does't have any great meaning except that the wheat cannot be harvested from the tares (v. 14:16) until after the barley is enraptured (v. 14:1). So it is not the separation of the wheat from the tares just yet. |

Tares are a weed that resemble wheat. They can't be grapes.

Tares are a weed that resemble wheat. They can't be grapes. That is so true. So at the point that the wheat is harvested then the tares are burned, and later the grapes are pressed. |
