Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The fire judgment applied to the weeds at the harvest is applied to the sons of the evil one at the end of the age. The comparison between the agricultural burning and the eschatological judgment communicates the certainty and the finality of the separation: what happens to the weeds in the field is what will happen to the wicked at the end.
