The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Jesus will send out his angels to remove from his kingdom everything that causes harm and everyone who chooses to do wrong.
There's coming a day when all the toxicity gets cleaned out for good.
📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus is teaching parables to crowds in Galilee during His earthly ministry around 30 AD, emphasizing the nature of God's kingdom amidst a world mixed with good and evil. This verse is part of Jesus' explanation of the Parable of the Weeds, where He describes how the Son of Man will use angels to separate the wicked from the righteous at the end of the age. It reflects the Jewish expectation of divine judgment and highlights the temporary coexistence of sin in God's kingdom until that final harvest.
