OK, the tares, who are these people, for it would seem they are very easily identified by some people in the parable? How do we know they are very easily identified? Quite simply, because the Lord's parable tells us they will be easily identified, but, of course, with one caveat; you must be one of His brothers or sisters or truly Born Again in order to identify these tares. If you're not, you will not be able to do so. How's that I hear you say; again, quite simply, because the tares are counterfeits and very deceptive counterfeits? Counterfeit money that is printed on the right kind of paper can be very difficult to identify unless you are completely familiar with the real thing. Many Christians have been taught that the tares are discernable weeds growing amongst the wheat, so therefore easily spotted, but that's not true. They are very tricky to identify unless you are 'qualified' to do so, and that's because the tares are also a type of wheat.
In the Greek MSS we find the words "bearded darnels" instead of the word 'tares':
Matthew 13:25 In yet the to-be-down-lounging (to-be-drowsing) the humans came of him the enemy (the Devil) and on-sows (sows-over) bearded-darnels up midst of-the grain and from-came (came-away).
So what are 'bearded darnels'? From Strong's Concordance:
G2215 zizanion dziz-an'-ee-on Of uncertain origin; darnel or false grain: - tares
Bearded darnels are a degenerate type of wheat or grain, a type of wheat that was fine in the beginning; in its original state, but later became bastardised, contaminated or corrupted. Now how familiar does this scenario sound? It should sound very familiar if you are conversant with my other writings. This parable is a forewarning by the Lord Jesus Christ of what Paul later confirms and later warns of in 2 Thessalonians 2:7-11. Here Paul describes this tare phenomenon as the Mystery of Iniquity which was already at work. Please see my article: "The Deluded Condition of Mainstream Christianity" for the details. There is also a second dimension (another duality of Holy Scripture) of the tares as revealed within the spirit realm. These tares were the third of the angels who fell from grace. Like the bearded darnels they were 'good wheat' in the beginning - in their original state, but became corrupted and adulterated, as did Satan the Devil.
Adam Clarke states in his commentary that we are plainly dealing with another seed that takes on all the appearances of the real thing, but in reality it is an imitation; a fake or a phony representation. Notice, too, that we are dealing with bad seed and this issue of bad seed brings into question its origin, which the Lord clearly tells us about in Genesis specifically with regard to Cain and, later on, Canaan. Please see my series of articles: "Did Eve Have Sex With the Devil or Did She Just Eat Some Fruit? - Parts 1 - 4" and also my two articles: "Were Abraham, Isaac and Jacob Jews? Genesis 38: Royal Judahites and the Canaanite Jews - Parts 1-2" The tares are sown, put there deliberately by the Devil himself, amongst the good wheat or those chosen and called by the Father to His Son. The first sowing of this seed took place before the flood when the so called 'sons' of God came and took the daughters of men for their wives - Genesis 6:2. This event culminating in the redeeming of Noah and his family - the only good seed left on the earth at that time.
Adam Clarke also informs us that if this degenerate wheat finds its way into the bread and is consumed it causes dimness to the eyes and vertigo. So here we can plainly see why the tares or bearded darnels have to be separated from the wheat at harvest time and then burned. So what is this damning evidence telling us? It's telling us that there are counterfeit Christians in existence who are sown there by the Devil. These counterfeiters invariably worm their way to the top and preach from pulpits. In turn, their message, because it's a tare message makes their flocks unable to see the Truth through dimness caused to their eyes - Spiritual blindness.
Matt 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares?
Here we can plainly see that the servants of the householder i.e. the disciples of the Lord are asking where the tares come from, for they thought, and quite correctly too, that the Lord had sowed good seed, and of course He had, but, He explains, the Devil had come; and please note "whilst men slept" and sowed his wicked seed amongst the good seed. Now this is just a type of what occurred in the Garden of Eden, for the Devil came surreptitiously and sowed his evil seed within Eve. The Lord, here, is not talking about us going to bed and having a good night's rest, no, He is talking about a very different kind of sleep. This is a sleep of Spiritual indifference
Let's now copy all the verses in question here so that we can properly analyse what the Lord Jesus Christ was actually saying:
Matt 13:24-30 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Now it could be said that I am like the disciples (the learners) and I am calling for the uprooting of the tares that have now overrun mainstream Christianity, but nothing could be further from the Truth. All I am doing is drawing true sons and daughters of God away from the counterfeit edifice that the bearded darnels now dominate and control. This is the very thing The Lord calls for in Revelation:
Rev 18:4-5 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Dear brother's and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ; are you hearing His call and are you listening or are you going to continue living in your sleepy spiritual denial? Are you still living in the futile hope that your fellowship, with its in house ravening wolf or wolves in the pulpit is/are going to repent (change) and give up on its 'salvation by works' non-gospel and tax exempt status - their idolatrous non-tithe homage to Satan's system - some call it a gagging order? Do you want to be a fellow recipient of their plagues and by your association with them, a partaker of their sins!!?? I give you these warnings in love for, notice, the sins of this religious edifice have reached heaven and the Father has remembered all that they have done. Make no mistake they are a stench in His nostrils.
OK, I have digressed, as is my want at times, but there we are, these things need to be said, nay they have to be said, and said out loud if there is to be a major rescuing of the Ecclesia - the called out ones - the Lord's anointed people from Cain's counterfeit church or from Satan's clutches.
OK, after The Lord has spoken this parable His students (the learners) immediately ask Him to explain the meaning:
Matthew 13:37-42 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41 The Son of man shall send forth His angels, and they shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
First of all we can see that the furnace is not literal, for those who are cast into it are wailing and gnashing their teeth. Real furnaces of fire do not bring forth wailings and teeth gnashings, they might bring forth screams of pain for a very short while, but then complete silence would follow as the immense heat consumed them almost instantly. This means we are dealing here with a place of punishment, not death - a place of no nonsense purging. This means repentance will eventually be forth coming, when they have learned their lessons and understood the severity of their evil demonic crimes.
The next important point here is the term "end of the world" which doesn't mean the end of planet earth or its destruction; it means the end of this age. This, in turn, tells us it's the end of the Devil's rule on this earth; the end of his age through his descendants Cain and Canaan i.e. Cain's world and his system. Let's be clear about this: The New World Order, the Cain/Canaanite Babel/Babylonian/Romish/Popish politico/religious system began in the Garden of Eden with Eve's sin and her demonic offspring Cain. This seed line bridged the flood through Ham and the incestuous blood line of his whore mother Naamah the Cainitess - enter the Canaanites; the Canaanite non-Jews via Shuah and finally the tares.
Right, I think I will call it a day on this article, as I want to move on to the real nuts and bolts of the second resurrection in part four, so as always, stay with it folks.
