Mat 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
Mat 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Mat 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Mat 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?
Mat 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Mat 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Mat 13:30 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.
This is an interesting little parable told by Yeshua. The word used to describe tares in Greek is darnel or false grain. The farmers in Israel also named this darnel "bastard seed". The interesting thing about darnel is that you cannot distinguish the darnel from the wheat when the plants are small. It will take an expert eye to distinguish between the two.
The other interesting fact about darnel is that you will find a poisonous fungus growing on the darnel. Eating this fungus will lead to drunkenness and blindness.
Now it becomes easier to identify the darnel from the wheat when the two produce seed. The wheat will start to bow down lower and lower because of the weight of the seed where the darnel will keep upright because the seed is light.
We are called by God to His Kingdom. When we receive the Holy Spirit, God’s seed (the covenant) will start to grow in us and the more seed we have the more we will bow down to the King of kings. If we are part of this false religion we will be stiff necked and upright but our seed will be useless. The poison growing on us will lead to spiritual blindness and spiritual drunkenness. Yeshua warned us in Revelation about the blindness of the church of Laodicea.
God gives us a choice and the period before the harvest is our time of grace. Just like God gave the people in Noah’s time a grace period we also received a grace period before the King will return. The choice is ours what seed will grow in us.
