Last night, the Lord put on my heart this parable about the tares in the wheat. He is promting me to examine this word.<\/strong> Interesting how Jesus says the tares are sons of the devil, planted by him, the enemy. And not to remove them lest you uproot the wheat. The wheat being the sons of the Kingdom. There is also a distinct difference between the two, they are not the same. Whilst the sons of the devil are around us, we are separated by our identity as sons of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mathew 13:24-30 NKJ<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another parable He put forth to them, saying: \u201cThe kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.  <\/sup>But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.  <\/sup>So the servants of the owner came and said to him, \u2018Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?\u2019  <\/sup>He said to them, \u2018An enemy has done this.\u2019 The servants said to him, \u2018Do you want us then to go and gather them up?\u2019  <\/sup>But he said, \u2018No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.  <\/sup>Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, \u201cFirst gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mathew 13:36-43 NKJ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Parable of the Tares Explained<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 <\/sup>Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, \u201cExplain to us the parable of the tares of the field.\u201d He answered and said to them: \u201cHe who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.  <\/sup>The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.<\/em>  <\/sup>The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.  <\/sup>Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.  <\/sup>The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,  <\/sup>and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.  <\/sup>Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
