Who sowed the Tares amongst the Wheat?
By Eric William King
In the
parable of the “wheat and the tares” found in
Matthew 13:24-30 we
learn about two classes of people which will still be here during the Great Tribulation. These two classes of
people Jesus refers to as “the Wheat” and “the Tares”.
In past
studies we have talked about the first appearance of these two classes way back
in the book of Genesis. They are Eve’s sons, Cain
and Abel. In the parable of the
“wheat and tares” Jesus goes on to interpret the symbols of this parable to His
disciples. In doing so Jesus explains that the seed of the Wicked One is no fairy
tale but instead a sad reality.
Jesus
explains: “The weeds are the sons of the Evil One, and the enemy who sows them
is the Devil.” (Matthew 13:38).
Why would Jesus use a parable to explain a parable? Here Jesus is giving the
literal interpretation of His previous parable. It is clear. Satan has a
literal seed.
In Matthew
chapter 23 Jesus calls the religious leaders of His time “hypocrites” more than once. In verse 33 Jesus calls them all “a
generation of vipers”. He goes on
to say to them “You serpents, you generation of vipers, how can you escape the
damnation of hell?” (vs. 33)
The Greek word
Jesus uses for “generation” is GHEN-ee-MAH
which literally means “offspring” or “descendants” of Cain. Jesus says to them
that they and their offspring are
responsible for killing the prophets, whose offspring (starting with Cain) killed
Abel all the way up to Zechariah. This same offspring comprised mostly of the
religious leaders would go on to kill Jesus Christ.
The Kenite
seed will be here all the way up to the Second Coming.
The Kenite seed will climax in “the Son of Perdition”, the final Antichrist.
Remember “the
field is the World” (Matthew 13:38). The “Good Seed” belongs to Jesus Christ
and the “Bad Seed” belongs to the Devil. The Bible says that the Devil sows the
bad seed. We have an enemy. Our war is a spiritual war, not a
war of the flesh (2nd Corinthians 10:3-5).
So if the
Serpent has an offspring, who is the Serpent? “The great dragon was hurled down – that ancient serpent called the devil or Satan.” (Revelation 12:9)
I realize that this Truth is somewhat
strange and frightening to think about but the Bible clearly teaches it. It is
certainly not a “politically correct”
doctrine nor is it a doctrine that will attract a crowd of people so most all
the fallen denominations won’t touch it with a ten foot pole. Be that as it
may, I cannot apologize for teaching something that God’s word clearly reveals.
Kenites Then and Now
In Bible
history we find that many Kenites accepted Yahwism and were
incorporated into the tribe of Judah.
By the time of Jesus Christ some of the Jews had ancestry line connections to the
Kenites. The Kenites are in many bloodlines today.
The Kenites
are here to disrupt Christians and try to mislead God’s true children. One of
the first and obvious signs of a Kenite is an
aggressive hatred towards Ancient Antiochene Christianity. Anybody
can “turn” Kenite. It is a sad and dark spiritual condition.
There are
some people born who do not have the “gift of faith”, not all have it (2nd
Thessalonians 3:2). As Christians we pray for everybody and keep the faith. Our
work is to share and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God is ultimately in
control.
Originally
Christians were called “Followers of the Way”
(Acts 9:2; Acts 22:4; Isaiah 35:8). We were first called “Christians”
in Ancient Antioch (Acts
11:26). False Christians and corrupt religious leaders were called; “Followers of the Way of Cain” (Jude 11).
As Christians we are to
love everybody and hate evil (Proverbs 8:13; Matthew 5:44). Only God truly
knows who His children are. It is true that some Kenites have infiltrated the
Christian Church and would have you not believe that they even exist but
unfortunately, they exist.
The Good News is that God’s true children belong to Him. Nobody
can take God’s elect
away from Him (John 10:28). The Kenites will never give up attacking a
Christian who is going through tuff times. Those who are lost are of this
fallen world. We read; “They are from the world and therefore speak from the
viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We (Christians) are from
God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not
listen to us.” (1st John 4:5-6)
It’s all revealed in the
Adamic Covenant
This whole
topic that we have been discussing is based on “The Adamic Covenant”
(Genesis 3:14-19). Basically God initiated the Adamic Covenant after Adam
sinned. God here establishes the curses of sin on mankind. The world now is in
the status of sin, in fact all of creation is.
This curse
has been lifted for those who truly believe in Jesus Christ but the rest of the
world will remain under the curse of sin until the Second Coming. After that
this planet will be renewed and enter
the Millennial Age – which is
the Third Earth Age (Revelation 20:2).
God has a
plan and you are in it whether you realize it or not. It is my hope that you continue
your Bible studies with us here at “The Shepherds Way”
and the “Nugget of Truth”.
Resting in
the love of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

There are also false teachers regarding the history of the Kenites:
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately many of them are also Judaizers. They are Kenites teaching that Christians must keep the Mosaic Covenant “feast days” and special “Sabbath days”, “food laws” and they teach a legalism that is quite frankly Satanic.
Having stated that; one group teaches that they invented the ancient doctrine about the Kenites. They state that this is original with them and their group. Wrong! Ancient Hebrew Rabbis and many ancient Christian records show that the doctrine regarding the Kenites is very old and connected to the early Antiochene Church. We have other articles which document these issues.
