Does this parable of Jesus speak of the unrepentant (Wicked)humans and the forgiven (Just)humans?

Matthew 13

47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

    It speaks of a judgement, dividing the good from the evil.

    This Parable deals with ALL levels, Man, Creation, all.

    Since the Creation Man has expected a 'reward' after the punishment of Life, because of the curse given to the couple and the serpent.

    This 'redemption' comes well before the Messiah - Yeshua - and is perceptible even in people not associated with neither the Law given to the nation of Israel neither the Jews that turned Christian after Yeshua's presence on earth. These were Abram - later Abraham - and Job, both people of faith, expecting a resurrection.

    Before the 'end of the aion' (system of things) there will be a separation of two groups: the "good seed" and the "bad seed". Another Parable identifies Yeshua speaking about "an enemy who sawed BAD SEED (that also kills Man. literally), as well as represents other evil things. Now we are talking about viruses, microorganism and the like, all designed to kill Man by his enemy who "was a Man slayer from the beginning" and brought death into the world.

    All those will be eliminated as well, with the 'evil' persons. The Angels already know who they are, because we are being "marked" as we speak. Our heart denounces us.
