Farmer

There was once a farmer in Matthew 13:24-30, who sowed good seed on good ground, but while he slept an enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat. A tare is a poisonous weed which looks a lot like wheat in the early stages. If tares are eaten, I am told that nausea occurs and sometimes convulsions, and even death. This is a spiteful act of malice from the enemy who has nothing to gain, except to ruin the wheat crop of the farmer.

The world is in a current chaotic condition and it has been predicted that the days ahead will only grow worse. There is alot of falsehood among people today. There are many who proclaim to be the real deal living for God and walking by His Word, but underneath it is only a disguise. 

The enemy is out to ruin the good wheat crop. His intent is to destroy the good crop and restrict it from healthy growth. In Matthew 13, when the farm workers realized what had happened and that the enemy had sowed tares, they asked the farmer if they should begin plucking up the tares. But the farmer instructed his workers not to pull up the tares because it would be easier to tell the difference at harvest time. He said at the proper time, the wheat will be brought into the barn, but the tares will be separated into bundles and burned.

One day soon, Christ will return. And He will make the final separation. The fake will be separated from the real. The tares will be separated from the wheat. And the tares will suffer eternal separation from God. I do not want to find myself in that bundle. Let's be the real deal and maintain a solid relation with God.
