Question 12
What happens to the wicked at Christ’s coming?
Bible
Matthew 13:30
"In the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them."
Bible
2 Thessalonians 2:8
"That wicked one shall be consumed by the brightness of His coming."
Answer
The wicked that are living when Jesus comes will be overcome and consumed by the brightness of His coming. Like the parable that Jesus told about the Wheat and the Tares, the wicked, which are symbolized by the tares, will burn and perish.
