Do you remember the parable that Jesus told about the wheat and the tears?

The servants came and said, should we pull them up?

And that the angels will do the harvesting. And they'll separate the wheat is the world and it's the end of the age, that the angels will do the harvesting,

True and false are going to flourish.
