The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares
The underlying cause of all of this
sin within this Nation and within the House of the Lord can
be traced directly back to the obsessive self-centered, self-aggrandizing,
culture that rose in the 1970’s. That lifestyle of selfishness
and rebellion was then brought into the House of the Lord and
codified in an assortment of doctrines and traditions that have
served to make two standing generations of “so-called believers”
who are in reality nothing but tares, happy in their sin and
corruption and thereby inoculate such “so called believers”
against any preaching of Sin Righteousness, and Judgment.
We note there that Jesus Christ
Himself prophesied that in the last days that such an overthrow
of the wheat in the church would occur by the tares to the place
that one could look out in the fields of the Kingdom and see
nothing but tares as far as the eye could see as the remaining
wheat would become so sparsely scattered and overshadowed by
the tares in the field – that it would become virtually invisible
to the naked eye.
Matthew 13:34-30 Another parable put he (Christ) forth unto
them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which
sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, (The preachers and teachers and watchmen upon
the walls) his enemy
came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But
when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then
appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said
unto him, (Acting all shocked surprised and dismayed these servants reply)
Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? (Here these lazy careless sleeping servants say “it wasn’t
us” and then proceed indirectly to blame God, and put out the
proposition that it was the seed of the gospel that He sowed
that was at fault for the rise of these tares in the fields.)
from whence
then hath it tares? (Indirectly these same slothful servants declare that the Gospel
they were supposed to teach was flawed and somehow produced
the tares, rather their having strayed the teaching of the
pure Gospel of Christ and pure scripture in favor of the populist
man centered doctrines and traditions that they have taught
for centuries this has caused the rise of the tares under their
watch over the fields) He said unto them, An enemy
hath done this. (In the parable Christ will have none of the corrupt accusations
of the blind leading the blind, knowing full well that the devil
and his hireling angels of the light of darkness have done this
as they sowed their populist man centered doctrines and traditions
for generations to produce what we see all around us today)
The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather
them up? But he said,
(This
is should given one great pause as to their submitting themselves
and discipling themselves to the preachers and teachers of our
day.) Nay; (This is an utter vote of no confidence that Christ has neither
faith nor trust in the corrupt slothful and selfish and self-appointed
preachers and teachers of our day.)
lest while ye gather
up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
(Christ is further
stating that if these “End-time” preachers and teachers were
to get their hands on the
“hidden wheat” that yet remains they would up root and
destroy it as well.)
Let both grow
together until the harvest: (Christ here declares to these careless, slothful, and sleeping
preachers and teachers of the last days, that they have been stripped of their ministry, and
that they
no longer have any authority over the fields of His kingdom.) and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers,
(Christ
here calls none of these slothful servants to do the work of
the ministry, but rather Christ calls into His
service others to do the work His servants should have normally
been doing. Just as Christ stripped the vineyard away
from the Scribes and Pharisees and the Sanhedrin so in these
last days has Jesus Christ stripped away the vineyard from the
self appointed hirelings that rule the churches and denominations
of this day.[Answering the cry that arose a generation ago “Where
is the power of God.”]) Gather
ye together first the (The many of the) tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: (casting out all
that shall cause offense in the kingdom)
but (And
then) gather the (The few of the) wheat into my barn. (These “called” reapers, these “Divinely appointed”
reapers have been given the discernment and power to remove
the tares without uprooting or causing the least harm to the
“hidden wheat” that is to remain to the very end. [So much for
the idea of a rapture for the hidden
wheat.])
Understand that Jesus Christ in the parable of the wheat and
the tares is citing the words of Isaiah the prophet. And knowing these things by the Spirit gives me the power
to rightly divide the word of truth in this parable that we
may understand what Christ spake to
His disciples in private.
Isaiah 56:9-11 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts
in the forest. His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all
dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving
to slumber. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never
have enough, and they
are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their
own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
By
rightly linking the parable of the tares to the scripture Christ
was citing [Rightly dividing the word of truth 2 Timothy 2:15] we can plainly see
why when Christ spoke these parables that the Pharisees and
other rabbinical orders of the Sanhedrin were infuriated and
wanted to destroy Him.

Corinthians 6:14-15
-- For what fellowship
hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and
what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath
Christ with Belial
(satan)? Or what part
hath he that believeth with an infidel? (The unfaithful aka the tares)
This choking and strangling
by the unbridled lust for the things of this world by design
renders quasi-children of light and darkness -- fruitless, (That they shall be gathered and burned) it renders them as salt that has no savor, (That they shall
be cast out and trampled underfoot)
it renders them as lukewarm (That they shall be vomited out of Christ’s body).
How great is the darkness of Bible Believing
and Spirit-Filled Christians that abandoned the word of God
for a bunch of feel-good psychobabble that has rendered them
spiritually fruitless and in abject sin and rebellion before
God?
How great is the darkness of most Bible-Believing
and Spirit –Filled Christians’ whose marriages today are
either on the verge of failure, or have already failed?
How great is the darkness of these
Christian husbands and wives unrighteously separated or unrighteously
divorced as they will not and do not fall on their faces before
God and repent and then proactively seek to be reconciled one
to another?
Have we really been so beguiled
from the word of God and Christ’s commandments that we have
willingly handed over to the serpent our birthright in Christ
and the blessed fruitfulness of His blessing in exchange for
our being wretched, miserable, naked and blind?
Revelation 3:15-17 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou
wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither
cold nor hot, I will spue (Vomit)
thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest,
(According to the light in thee that has become a great darkness)
I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing;
and knowest not that thou art wretched,
and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Christ
is declaring here that those in the Laodicean hour have been
swindled, hoodwinked, and been robbed blind by the subtle salesmanship
of the serpent and his angels of light and darkness.
So as it was in the beginning in the garden with Adam
where he committed high treason against the Kingdom of
Heaven when the man Adam willingly gave over his spiritual
birthright (His dominion) to the serpent, and willingly gave
over the blessing of fruitfulness (Of his household and of the field), so also in
like manner each and everyone of these quasi-children of light
and darkness within the Klesia
(The called)
have also committed high treason against Jesus Christ and His
Kingdom when they willingly surrender their spiritual birthright
as a child of God, and surrender God’s blessing of fruitfulness,
in exchange for the fruit the doctrines and traditions of the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And in so doing these have nullified the work
of Jesus Christ, who purchased and redeemed them with His own
blood.
Hebrews 3:12 Take
heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of
unbelief, in departing from the living God.
This is a fearful thing,
we live in a fearful hour where the Ek-Klesia
and the Klesia are fighting for their very life and existence.
