| PentecostalTheology.comThe parable says that during the final judgment, the angels will separate the “sons of the evil one” (the tares or weeds) from the “sons of the kingdom” (the wheat). It follows the Parable of the Sower, and precedes the Parable of the Mustard Seed.
Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
Subversive Kingdom: The Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds … surprise us that many of His parables use metaphors related to farming. … the parable of the wheat and the tares has been frequently quoted, misquoted
Jesus’ teaching in parables is in fulfillment of scriptural prophecy. The parable of the weeds among the wheat sees the kingdom of heaven to be like a farmer who sows good seed and then is surprised to find it also contains weeds. The farmer could choose to wall off the unproductive areas of his land and leave them untilled. Instead … Between these two parables is the parable of the wheat and the tares. … The translation “weeds” is not strong enough.
“Look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”

Joe Absher Alan Smith Had to redo my corn today – grass took over – talking about the seeds and weeds parable; plowed it too hard and deep
Joe Absher
I’m all ears. Breaking up fallow ground has to be first right? Meaning conviction of sin?
Joe Absher
Break up your fallow ground I think is the most well known sermon of Finney. In preparation for a greater wider revival the church needs to repent of sin. Commission and omission.
Joe Absher
What do you mean harvesting in the Spirit?
Varnel Watson
do you know how when the seed come up you have to cover the grass- cant take it out or kill the seed too? Joe Absher
Joe Absher
I’ve done some hoeing. Some were pretty long rows.
Joe Absher
The part I thought was strange was taking the heads off the worm with your thumb.
Varnel Watson
it was a dry deserted land in a hot southern summer
I wated for rain then plowed
after rain soil was soft and I pished hard
plowed too deep and the seeds got too deep
when it rain hard and beat the soil down
Strong southern sun hardened it fast even more
and the seeds could not break through
Joe Absher
What’d you do? How big was the field. You didn’t get down on your knees did you
Varnel Watson
obviously writing a country song 🙂
Joe Absher
The train is going by right now. Sounds like a long one.
Joe Absher
You’re killing me what’s next?
Varnel Watson
the parable does not account for the later and early rain Peter Vandever (I took the picture myself you know)
Joe Absher
I see some mountains way back. But to the story the later rain restores the harvest?
Varnel Watson
now I am using the LATER rain to restore my harvest
1. soften the ground of the hardenned hearts
2. revive the broken hearted
3. Isaiah 42:3 A bruised reed He will not break and a smoldering wick
…Oh, GLORY there is a sermon somewhere inthere – AMEN

John 12:24 KJV — Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
Rebecca L Ringler
We reap what we sow and have a lot to learn on this matter. No requirements to be a pastor either. Instead of 30, 60, 90, it goes to 100 fold. I hope to learn more about this.
Joe Absher
When get back to it. I’d like to hear more.
Psalm 126:6 KJV — He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

Joseph Kidwell A lesson learned. I covered the weeds with newspapers. Mainly ones full with FoxNews news. They died within few days smothered under under them with no light from the Son. Weeds die when relay on darkness alone!
Joe Absher
A lot of things grow in the dark. They ain’t all holy neither
Joe Absher
Not to be out of order the plowing the sowing the watering. The harvest. Then comes the thresher
Isaiah 28:28 — Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen.
Joe Absher
When I was growing up, school didn’t start until the crop was in the barn. To much rain if there is such a thing.
