Can you provide Scripture?
Sure...and some hermeneutics too:
The reason GOD sows HIS people into the world and allows the devil to sow the people of evil among them (greatly out numbering them),
Matt 13:36-39, is so HIS sinful people of the kingdom can learn by face to face experience that the tares are not who they claim to be, ie, they are not the same in nature as the slinful elect, but are as GOD claims them to be, ie, the abhorrent wicked, condemned already for being eternally sinful, unable to be redeemed.
If the story of the exodus is a metaphor for our personal journey out of slavery to sin to the Promised Land (Paradise, Eden restored) then we also wander in the wilderness of daily life because of our attitude to our evil and the evil of the reprobate tares being not so bad, ie, the sin of the Amorites is not yet
full: Genesis 15:16 In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure." Anyone with any understanding of YHWH at all knows that their sin is full enough for HIM, He has condemned them already and is only waiting for the sinful elect to separated from them,
2 Corinthians 6:17 Therefore, "Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." so the
postponement of their judgement may end,
Matt 13:27 The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’ 28 ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. [a reference to the
explanation (no more metaphor) of this parable in verses
36-39]
So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’[
to bring the judgement upon them?]
29 ‘NO!’ he said, [
postpone the judgement because...]
‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. The time of the harvest is the time of the maturity of the wheat and the only maturity that saves a sinner from the judgment is a mature holiness! Thus their sins separated them from the holy elect and are the cause of the continued suffering of mankind on this earth.
To prove to HIS sinful elect that the tares do not make good family people and must be judged, HE gave us the example of Abraham's generations and Lot's family. To prove that a Church of specially called ones does not make the reprobate worthy of eternal life HE gave us the Judges and the people went to idols. Then the people said "If we only had a King to lead us the tares would follow them and not have to be judged!" but the tares did not follow and the kings turned from YHWH and all was corrupt.
So, after trying to bring HIS sinful elect to repudiate the tares among them and to consign them to justice by means of a Patriarch to lead them, of a Judge to lead them, of a King to lead them, HE instituted the Holy Spirit Himself to lead HIS church to paradise by proving to them that
the Amorites will never repent, they cannot receive the Holy Spirit and they must be left to HIS justice...they must be consigned to death, man woman and child before Paradise can be reached. Only when the last sinful elect, that is, legitimate child of GOD within the church, repents of their idolatry of the sinful Amorite, Cain, within the church and embraces HIS call for justice will the judgement day finally arrive, cleansing the world. That is why a life of holy godliness
speeds up the coming of that terrible day:
2 Peter 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and speeding / hastening the coming of the day of GOD.
There is NO worldly system of governance that will bring the reprobate to faith and end the suffering of their evil; no family, no wise man, no strong man, no holy man of the spirit can do this. They can only be dealt with by the Judgement Day and only when the heart of each lost sheep gives up HIS desire to protect the evil ones in his family, in his legal structure, in his country and in the church, from judgment of any kind and is willing to consign them all to death if HE so judges.
It is the sinful elect, the ones who can be redeemed but who not not think the evil of the non-believers (who are their children, friends and neighbours and fellow countrymen) are enough to judge them forever to hell that keeps us in this wilderness, out of the Promised Land. Only when our attitude to the judgement expresses the joy of
Malachi 4:2 But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, and you will go out and frolic like calves from the stall, 3 [when]
you will trample the wicked, for they will be as ashes under the soles of your feet on the day I am preparing, says the LORD of Hosts. the image that makes the so called
holy church cringe with embarrassment and horror, will we ever be free of this world and its suffering. The image of being gathered into our LORD's barn while the tares are gathered and burnt is filled out and the full emotional experience of that event is given in this small verse from Malachi.
Jesus didn't die for Satan. He died for humanity. The comparison isn't valid.... or try to make it valid from the Scriptures.
Jesus died for the sinful good seed, the sinful people of HIS kingdom called the sheep gone astray into sin, not for all humanity and definitely not for the people of the evil one (
Matt 13:36-39), the goats who are condemned to hell already,
John 3:18.
