I'm of the opinion that all of God's Word must corroborte each other; and Matthew 13:30 disagrees with your perspective.
The first to be gathered are the tares.
Matthew 13:41-43 further corroborates that those taken away are the faithless, while leaving those who remain, shining forth.
So what does this mean?
As the kingom of heaven currently is within all individuals (Luke 17:21); the kingdom of heaven will then be taken away from the faithless, while awarding the second installment of God's kingdom to the faithfull who shall then shine forth on earth (Matthew 13:43).
Further corroboration for my perspective in which the kingdom of God will be removed from the faithless, while the faithful are awarded the kingdom of God appers in Isaiah 60:1-3. Without the Lords kindom the faithless will have no direction and thus be in darkness. They will need the illumination of the Lord through His people for direction.
This is also refered to as the sudden destruction the faithless will experience when the Lord comes as a thief in the night (1 Thessalonian 5:2-3), from whom the Lords presence will be removed (2 Thessalonians 1:9).
Do you see how all these scriptures corroborate each other?
