In the Millenium reign of Christ the few who enter the kingdom from the Sheep/Goat Judgement will be ruled with a rod of iron. They will repopulate the earth and live long lives as the early patriarchs did but death is still in effect.

Not really but do hold to this teaching.
Dispensationalists are often pre-millennial, meaning they believe in the literal return of Jesus Christ to establish a thousand-year reign (the Millennium) on Earth.
The previous parable as well this one: But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. (Mt 13:23)...But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. (Mt 13:26)
What is "the Word" and who bear fruit after hearing that Word? The Word is the Gospel and only those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ bear spiritual fruit. The tares are the fake wheat.
Interesting take.
Personally I believe it should be called the parable of the soils. Notice where the seen fell. Some on parched soil, some on rocky soil, some on thorns, and, other seed fell on the "prepared" soil.
Then you've missed the point. The "sowing" of the Gospel seed is the critical factor. Of course there are different soils. And as the next parable shows, the fruit of the believer is in view. Without being saved, no one can bear spiritual fruit. And without hearing the Gospel, no one can be saved (Mark 16:15,16).
And the Millennial reign of Christ is the 7th day, the Shadow of things to come, the Sabbath Day
16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a sabbath. 17 These are only a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ. Colossians 2
