maybe there's something to that, but i don't know. the kjv bible says that a "bastard" (from the word "mamzer", i.e. a race-mixed part-israelite) may not enter the congregation until the tenth generation, but it's possible that that's an idiom basically meaning never. in context it does seem to be meant as a literal ten generations. i myself am not qualified to say who are the tares at this point, which is likely why jesus himself told his disciples not to gather them up, and that this would be done by his angels when he returns.
