Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 13:39

"and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels." — Matthew 13:39 (ASV)

The devil is the sower of evil men. There were none such until he came into Paradise, but now they are everywhere, not only in the field of the world, but in the garden of the Church.

Now is the time of growing. The harvest hastens on, and the reapers are already chosen by the great householder.

We may rejoice that angels, and not men, are the reapers. At what hour the consummation of the age will come, we do not know, but it is surely drawing near.
