"Here is another story Jesus told: 'The kingdom of heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field. But that night as the workers slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, then slipped away. When the crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew.
The farmer's workers went to him and said, 'Sir, the field where you planted the good seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from?'
'An enemy has done this!' the farmer exclaimed.
'Should we pull out the weeds?' they asked.
'No.' He replied, 'You'll uproot the wheat if you do. Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell you the harvesters to sort out the weeds, tie them into bundles and burn them, and to put the wheat in the barn." MATTHEW 13:24 - 30
This story represents the transition from earth to heaven where there is a mix of good and bad in this world. Where the farmer is God, who plants the good seed, and the "enemy" is Satan who plants the weeds. But if the weeds are pulled, it'll provide no contrast between good and bad and the good will have no mission. Also it would corrupt the good. But at the end of the season, or rather a lifetime, the good and the bad, or the wheat and the weeds are separated and the weeds are burned (Hell) and the wheat is stored and kept in the barn or rather, in heaven.
