Lukewarm Christians may be surprised, disappointed and filled with anxiety when they realize that these false associates, misleading Shepherds and alien "strangers" have been "seeded" and are growing among them. Pretenders determined to misguide and steer the Wheat from the Harvest, the gathering of its fruit into the Kingdom of the LORD.
When that Biblical Sower scattered His seeds on the wheat fields of this world, these seeds were the Word of God, strewn on His fields, the wheat fields of His kingdom (1). But after this seeding, an enemy of men scattered his own seeds, his "Tares," into these wheat fields, while men slept. Many are still asleep, blind to an insidious growth among them.
Throughout history, the Sower's plants often experienced diversions from truth, always needing nurturing, cultivation, watering and sunlight. The Tares seeded among them conspired and competed for dominance, blocked the sunlight, and corrupted God's cultivation, while disguising their true purpose! These counterfeit seeds sown among the wheat produced a plant able to emulate the wheat - to subtly intertwine roots with their neighbours, prohibiting removal, while presenting an appearance of legitimacy.
From an old church dictionary comes a clear description of the term, "Tares":
TARES: [Matthew 13] Zizanion-Latin, Zowan-Arabic, Sonin - Hebrew: zan means nausea. Not the Scottish vetch, but "darnel;" at first impossible to distinguish from wheat or barley, until the wheat's ear is developed, when the thin fruitless ear of the "darnel" is detected. Its roots too, so intertwines with that of the wheat, that the farmer cannot separate them, without plucking up both, "till the time of the harvest."
The seed is like wheat, but smaller and black, and when mixed with wheat flour causes dizziness, intoxication, and paralysis; "Lolium temulentum," bearded darnel, the only deleterious gram among all the numerous grasses. Ivraie, French for "tipsy grass" whence our harmless "rye grass" is named.
Hollow professors, having the form without the reality of godliness, nay, even hurtful and bad [Isaiah 29:13, Matthew 15:8, Mark 7:6, Ezekiel 33:31]. None but the Lord of the Harvest can distinguish the seeming from the real. The attempt to forestall His judgment for the sake of securing a pure church has always failed, and has only tended to foster spiritual pride and hypocrisy(2).
Tares - Useless exploitative plants that sprout and rise up to crowd a fruitful wheat - in reality, weeds - that during growth are almost impossible to distinguish from the wheat or barley. Only when its rigid, erect stalk is exposed above the bowing, bending wheat, waving its small, dark and noxious fruit, is it finally recognized!
When the Wheat is ready for harvest, it bows down before the LORD, offering its fruit, seemingly in a sacrifice. But the Tares, with a lighter seed, are finally exposed - rigidly erect above the Wheat - just before the Harvest. Now conspicuous - arrogantly proffering as Cain, a debilitating offering! Certainly, "The children of the wicked one" (3).
Now, in this time before the Harvest, as the LORD informed His disciples, as His Word informs us as well, is when His angels are required [as in the Third vision of George Washington](4). Angels to cut, bundle and burn the Tares -before the Harvest begins. Tares so entrenched today, that only His angels can restore to men, a righteous Kingdom.
Passing centuries have seen the "Christian Wheat" ripening in the wheat fields of the LORD, but counterfeit Tares surreptitiously rose as well, their growth running parallel as antagonistic principles usually do. Tares disguising their true intent while being assimilated among the pliant wheat. Over the years, driven by progressive promotions, there developed an association, a false affinity between these two plantings - between Christian Wheat and the Tares of Talmudism
Pharisaical Babylonian Talmudism - existed long before the time of Jesus, but continues today as the "life's-blood of Judaism" - so termed by their rabbinical leaders! Possessing a subtle, insidious determination to intertwine its evil roots with Christianity, it diverts Christians into a new toxic association, a religion, now called "Judeo-Christianity."
Judeo-Christianity, a relatively recent term is now used to describe Christianity by associating it with "Judaism," assuming by inference that Judaism was the source of Christianity - thus creating an impression that Christians owe an allegiance to the so-called Jews and their religion of Talmudic Judaism.
In fact, the two religions are the antithesis of each, diametrically opposed. The Talmud was purposely designed, while Judah was in Babylon, to circumvent the rigid rules and instructions of Moses as found in the Torah.
The ancient Babylonian Talmud, originally known as the "Oral Traditions of the Elders," is still in print, but has been restricted from view over history. Its words are corrupt, subversive and severely anti-Christian: it spawned such damaging instructions as found in the Humanist Manifesto and the diabolical Protocols of Zion, often denied, yet its dictates have been and are being realized!
Jesus Christ's views of the Pharisaical Talmudism in His day, is yet manifest in the Zionist Judaism of today. Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 and other applicable Bible verses are as vivid and clear in condemnation today as then. How well the LORD understood this deception, the "entangled" roots of both religions falsely intertwined, guided by misled, blinded shepherds who promote a confused growth process.
Trying to justify a "natural" outgrowth of both "plantings." A co-mingling, an intertwining of roots has led to the false assumption that both were sourced and seeded together - that they are, and have been - synonymous - evolved into "Judeo-Christianity," two "blended" religions assumed to have sprung from the same fields of the LORD over the ages. The Bible indicates otherwise, and historical events prove that these two faiths are not united in the platform of belief in Christ, the only avenue into the kingdom as the Word demands.
Over the course of history, naive, "blinded in part," forgiving Christians, accommodated the growth of opposing Tares, saw them rise in their fields, then through deceit, often involving both in chaos - leading in many instances, to banishment, even the reapers sickle - foreshadowing those dire prophetic events promised by the LORD, just before the final "Harvest."
In the Parable of the Householder (found in Matthew 13), His loyal servants reported the appearance of Tares among the growing wheat, their growth disguised to avoid detection while exploiting associates, as is their nature.
As Matthew notes, the wise Householder advised His servants to permit their growth and not remove them, as their roots, now so entangled among the wheat inhibits weeding - the Wheat would be uprooted. Just before the time of the Harvest, when the Tares have risen above the pliant wheat, conspicuously overshadowing their host, the reapers, now the angels, are instructed by the LORD, their mission, - remove the Tares - To "gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity." "Gather ye first the Tares and bind them into bundles for burning," seems to imply that the Householder (Christians) will not be able to do so, as the Tare's, now so entrenched that only His angels can.. "cut, bundle, and burn them."
"Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father"(5). The treasure hid in the fields does produce joy to those that find it. How perfect and finite is the planning of our LORD. The most minute annotation, the most simple Biblical instructions so dovetail together in this path of history across the generations, that His concern for even a sparrow fits into it all.
This gathering of the Tares by the LORD's angels, the burning of them before the Wheat is housed in the Kingdom, implies in a literal sense, that the Wheat will see as Psalm 91:8 promises, "with thine eyes shalt thou behold the reward of the wicked." A further confirmation of this end-time event is noted in Psalm 37:34, "...when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it." Consider well the words "see" and "behold." Both references confirm Jesus' words in Matthew 13.
How does this seeing with "their eyes" speak to those who promote the pre-tribulation "rapture." The misguided Shepherds of Churchianity would have Christians away, sitting in comfortable arm chairs in the clouds, with the LORD, watching events unfold here on earth. Never Christian! You will be a witness to this event, and your "roots" to the past are important; Israelite!
Clearly, at the harvest, the now untangled Wheat, the Righteous, will shine forth as if they had been under a cloud - black clouds, much like those in Gen. Washington's revealing Third vision for America. The Tares, the ungodly pretenders, the false claimants to the covenant privileges, the corruptors, the obstructors, now protruding above the wheat, will be exposed to the heavenly reapers, the LORD's angels.
Today, it is obvious that the Tares have risen above the Wheat in the wheat field countries of the LORD, those nations of true Israel, no longer "lost" yet still experiencing the "blindness in part" that St. Paul notes in Romans, blind only however, "until the time of the Gentiles has come." That time is close(6). The Tares have achieved dominion(7), have risen to crowd our Christian heritage with a noxious presence, have induced a Talmudic anti-Christian immorality and control on the people, their alien influence rises in the courts, in our schools and churches, all now thoroughly immersed in the doctrinal sea of the Talmud and its commentaries.
Their toxic policies filter through the financial and political institutions dominated by the Tares, making this once Christian nation subservient to a humanist, One World Order under very identifiable Tares. Many of today's Christians, like the passive wheat, quietly submit to entangled roots, accommodating as ever, as Christians are wont to do, willing to forgive, almost docile in their blindness to today's rising growth of the Tares.
But, not all are that "blinded," many are rapidly beginning to realize and see, as did the disciples when they asked the Master to "Declare unto us the Parable of the Tares," to recognize the oncoming resolution to this ancient, contentious issue. Our LORD, in the most detailed elaboration of His parables was most specific in describing to whom this parable applied and why - How it would be resolved, when it would happen, and the final results (8).
Today's growth of the Talmudic Tares, now rigidly obvious above the Christian Wheat, stimulates this growing awareness, while the blindness is being corrected, the scales are being removed; the truth of the Kingdom is emerging! A clear indication that the time of the Harvest is approaching.
The ancient historical mixing of seeds of good and evil, the intertwined roots, the disguised growth, the different offerings of fruit has also induced the Tares to become a stumbling-block to the wheat, deceptively being led away from Biblical truths.
In the end, this deception leads to that final solution promised by the LORD to his disciples and now to us, awaiting that announcement, a blast from the Seventh trumpet. The final absolute separation of the Tares from the Wheat by His angels - approaching as you read. Confirmed by the LORD's own words to the Pharisees: "but He answered and said, every plant which my heavenly Father, hath not planted, shall be rooted up"(9). This great historic controversy between good and evil may have reached the limits of Divine forbearance. Today this controversy has been increasing in intensity and will to the close of the age; to when the tares of evil are finally removed and the Kingdom is restored.

"Another parable put He forth unto them saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
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? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 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" (24-30).
"...and His disciples came unto Him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them, he that soweth the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
The 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; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Again the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field" (3644).

COL J. Richard Niemela
Col. Niemela has done an excellent and factual study of the parable of the "tares," as found in the Gospel of Matthew, and one which is today, not mentioned very often in most churches.
Explaining who the "tares" are can be very problematical in today's desensitized and "politically correct" churches. It is interesting to note "who" is being removed (or dare I say "raptured") from the world as contrasted to the beliefs of fundamentalist churchianity. - Pastor Chuck Kuhler, Virginia Christian Israelites

Then of course everybody is interested in the Marriage Supper and being worthy to escape all these things.
This is why many religious leaders do not want to face the truth and as is written above by Col Ric Niemela:
The misguided Shepherds of Churchianity would have Christians away, sitting in
comfortable arm chairs in the clouds, with the LORD, watching events unfold here on
earth.
To escape all these things, Luke 21:36. Does not mean that we are going to be away from all
these things. We are going to be IN THEM, before the beam up.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 is about as far as most Christians go. IF they would go to the other
scriptures 1 Cor.15:51,52 they would get a better idea so check it out. AHH Trumpets are
also involved.
Locally when I talk about the Marriage supper, invariably the question that arises is, when
will all these things start? I point out that when the sun loses 1/3 of its lighting power and
hence the moon goes darker, then you will know. Matt. 24:29.
This is the time of the fourth trumpet Rev 8:12. And Rev 8:2 shows that there is going to be
seven trumpets.
Christians and the rest of the world will have absolutely no doubt when the final stages AT
THE END occurs. You will be in it.
Rev 8:7. The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and
they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was
burnt up.
So a loud trumpet blast from an angel, ALL will hear it. And then the first heavenly sign. A
sulphurous white hot hail and blood will destroy 1/3 of all greenery. The heavenly signs have
now started at that point in time. Sheer unadulterated horror. Then about 24 hrs later.
Rev 8:8. The second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was
cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea become blood.
A third part of all sea life including ships is destroyed.
So this is a second loud trumpet blast and a large white hot meteor comes hurtling out of the
heavens and into the sea. People will then wish they had done their bible study.
Rev 8:10 (some people who have not received the seal of God will undoubtedly go mad.)
Another horrendous trumpet blast from heaven and there fell a great star from heaven,
burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains
of water;
This white hot star burning like a bright torch is called Wormwood because it is a source of
acute chagrin and bitterness. This kills off many men. This ends the third trumpet blast
Now we come to the more common scripture Rev 8:12 but I doubt if anyone is sitting in an armchair by now.
Possibly day four.
Rev 8:12 and the fourth angel sounded and the third part of the sun etc etc. At this point in time there will still be people believing in evolution and saying their is no God. Christians will know by now that this is it and there is no turning back.
Now we come to day five. Rev 9:1.
And the fifth angel sounded and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the Key of the bottomless pit.
So another loud blast of a trumpet and this heavenly sign is a bright shining star fall from heaven and now the sun goes out even further because of smoke out of the pit producing (harrier jump jets?) locusts which hurt men that have NOT been sealed. This is one woe; Rev 9:12.
The sixth trumpet blast and 4 angels go about to slay the third part of men. Rev 9:15
Finally we come to the Seventh Angel. Rev 10:7:
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, WHY????
Because: 1 Cor.15:52.
In 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. 1 Thes 4:16. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God.
Christ swoops down and picks up his bride to be in the nick of time and takes her back to heaven. With a host of angels in on the act. This will be followed by the seven last plagues.
At this point in time God has not even begun to gather all nations to fight against Jerusalem. Though by now the International bankers will realise that the time is up and they have been exposed as the abominable usurers, and one reason for the battle was discovered about 50 years ago.
Satan the devil has not even had his one and last battle against God and the bride in Heaven.
And the ingathering of OLD Israel, true Israel will not take place until the Son of God has set his foot on earth in Jerusalem with his wife to say to the warring lords "Let my people go."
After Satan has been locked up. Then will the Son of God and his wife bring about the captivity of HIS people and bring them into a peaceful Palestine way after so called Armageddon.
Before we leave heavenly signs, at the "beam up" it should be remembered that the sun moon and stars are still up there. The last heavenly sign is going to happen about 7 years later. This is when there will be a crackling in the heavens above people on earth as the sun moon and stars ALL melt away with fervent heat and the vast army of spirit beings including the Son of God and the saints all slowly approach the earth and Christ sets his foot on the Mount of Olives. 2 Pet. 3:10-12; Rev 6:14 and Zech 14:5.
From a reader.
i. On Sunday and Tuesday nights I work with someone called Rob. I have been working with Rob on Sundays since I began working at the Local restaurant (Mar 00). I only started working Tuesday nights with him as well back in May 00. Rob was due to have several days off in early July as he had booked a holiday to go France.
Now, Sunday nights and Tuesday nights can sometimes seem busy at the Local restaurant and I was getting worried that the Tuesday night that he had booked off would be too busy for me to handle. Certain thoughts were worrying me that whilst Rob was away that I may have too much to do because not only does my job involve operating the Pot-wash and looking after the Salad Cart. I was also concerned that there would be too much for me to handle on the Pot-wash during the closedown.
The night before hand, I put my problems before God, told him that it was really worrying me. Twenty-four hours later (and this is a miracle) I experienced one of the most peaceful and quietest nights at the Local restaurant that I have EVER experienced there
ii. On my third Bank Holiday at the Local restaurant, I worked with a man called Darrell. During the morning we prep'd food for the Salad Cart. Prepping involved chopping lettuces, peppers, carrots etc. We spent the morning doing this.
The Local restaurant opened at 12.00 to serve food and drink. At about 3/4 hour to an hour after opening, the Pot-wash in the kitchen began to build up. I had to look after the Pot-wash as well have a hand in the Salad Cart as Darrell had other jobs to do once Prep had been complete.
Between 1 and 2 O'clock quite a lot of items were being bought in from the Restaurant. It was my job to try to keep on top of it, which I managed. Unfortunately, though, it seemed that once one pile had been cleared from the Pot-wash area, then, maybe 10 - 15 minutes later, the Pot-wash area might be full again. This kept happening and I was getting sick of it, and slightly worried and knew that I would need help in clearing it, so, by the time 2.30 came, myself, Darrell, and Darrells mum Sue (the cook) were outside having a break chatting over things. I was still worried over how I would clear the Pot-wash as things were still coming in from the Restaurant. Something, though, was on Darrell's mind, he was meant to have finished his shift at 2.30, yet (thankfully) he stayed with me, and stayed, and stayed, and stayed until the Pot-wash had been virtually cleared - the time he eventually finished was 4.45!!!
Three years ago the editor had to go into hospital with a burst duodenal ulcer. I was told afterwards that I had had only 48 hours to live (bacteria causes peritonitis to set in). I am alive. Its amazing what prayer can achieve.
