THESE GATHERINGS AND "BURNINGS" ARE NOW, JUST BEFORE THE HARVEST.
"So at the end of time the Son of Man will send out his angels, who will gather out of his Kingdom whatever makes men stumble, and all whose deeds are evil, and these will be thrown into the blazing furnace, the place of wailing and grinding of teeth. And then the righteous will shine as brightly as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. If you have ears, then hear." (Matt 13:40-43 NEB).

By the following, and according to the foregoing scripture, we will understand that the angels will remove either the evil spirit deed(s), or whole person(s), from The Christ's Kingdom on earth.

THE MEANING OF THE SYMBOLIC "BLAZING FURNACE".
A darnel is a weed, which grows among the good seed. The devil, our Lord said, sowed the darnels. The darnels, he also said, are for the children of the evil one. Both kinds of "seed" represent spirit activity. Evil spirit dispositions grow near to, and in some cases within, spirit sons of the Kingdom who are the good seed. So when the angels gather these symbolic darnels out of the Kingdom of our Lord, they are in reality gathering out the devil's weedlike sowing of evil spirit dispositions in humans that cause stumbling to those within the Kingdom. These are the things that are being put into the symbolic "blazing furnace". The "blazing furnace", means the resulting human condition of "wailing and grinding of teeth", experienced among those who have their downfall shown up to them by the exposure (Ezek 3:20 NEB) and removal of these sins and/or their stumbling blocks, by angels of our Lord. After which, as it says of corrected ones: "And then the righteous will shine as brightly as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father". (Matt 13:43 NEB).

Mainly regarding righteous ones that our Lord was referring to, it is now at the end of time that they must have all things stumbling them and any stumbling-blocks they may be placing before others, removed. When these spiritual acts of stumbling within Kingdom members are removed, then the Kingdom of our Lord will shine for those remaining in it in the "Jacob age", which is about to begin with the Lord's Spirit reign over the earth.

If those who have previously been living according to Kingdom principles of our Lord refuse to have any evil spirit disposition(s) that have been sown in or alongside them removed (by seeing their weedlike sin), refusing to repent and cease sinning thereafter (by their 'wailings' as a sign of contrition), then their "furnace" will instead completely destroy their spirit place in the everlasting Kingdom of God by His Christ.

It should be clearly understood that the angels have not been sent to gather these evil darnels out of the kingdom of this world of satan, but out of our Lord's own spirit Kingdom within His few remaining people. It should also be understood that until these very things that cause stumbling are removed, the righteous cannot ever hope to shine as brightly as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father.
