I want to take you to Matthew 13. I want to look at the parable of the wheat and the tares.
Verse 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: 25But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27So 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? 28He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30Let 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.
I want to bring to your attention to a few points. 1. The man sowed his own seed no one else did that part of the work. 2. While the men slept: They went to sleep on the watch giving the enemy: this could be one enemy or more than one. You will learn it was just one. Come in and sow the tares.
Lets go to verses 36-43 Remember this is not my words this is not my explanation; No this is Jesus speaking
36.Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41The 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; 42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Important take away's: Verse 38: The field is the world. The good seed is not wheat seed it is seed that produces the children of The Kingdom. The bad seed the tears are the children of the wicked one. Verse 39. Who is the devil. The first ones taken are the children of the wicked one Satan and then the wheat is gathered into the barn the children of the kingdom.
13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
13. Remember this is not me speaking but Paul. I(Paul) would not have you ignorant (unlearned or untrained on a subject) them that are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow (grieve) not as those that have no hope. Not that you should be sorrowful for the loss but it should nor put us in a place where we can't thank, or move on . . . as others who have no hope. What is that hope. What is that hope: We will be reunited with them. 14. As Jesus rose from the grave so shall our loved ones which have died in Jesus. They will come with Him 15. we which are alive can't prevent them which have died before us. We can not stop them from being with Jesus. When we die the soul returns to God who gave it. Ecclesiastic 12:6&7. The body stays in the ground. Genesis.3:19 Till thou return to the ground; for out of it thou wast taken:for dust thou art, and unto dust thou will return. Job 34:15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust. Palms 104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. 1st Corinthians 15: 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Verse 50 flesh and blood can not enter the kingdom of Heaven. 51.We shall not all sleep: we will not all die; but we will all be changed. 52: when will we change? We be be changed in the blink of an eye at the last trump not in the middle of the 4th, 5th,or 6th, trump but at the last trump the furthest one out. And the dead shall be raised incorruptible. Dead libel to die(spiritually dead) in a spiritual body that has a mortal soul a soul that is libel to die. Paul's words not mine. There will be no flesh bodies in the millennial reign. Why Jesus will have returned at the 7th trump put His foot on the mount of olives split that mountain in halve making a valley 60 miles square. It will be in that moment that twinkle of an eye that we will all gather in the air (in the spirit) and so we shall always be with the Lord or at least till the Great White Throne of Judgment.
So I hope that helps put to rest of of the greatest lies of the church today the rapture and that dead bodies are going to come up out of the grave.
Look forward to the up coming discussion
