And A truth which seems grim, but such speculation is born of fear of the unknown. This leads to those who would forsake growth, but wish to simultaneously hold onto the path of truth they are forsaking and so they blend that truth they have learned, with former lies, to form a watered down "truth". Such action is built upon trying to graph a tree of oak, with splinter of iron, and the "grim" reality is actually a tool of the adversary to cause doubt, and is no more a truth, than the notion that doing such could grow iron rods from an oak tree.
The temptation to do such, to turn back to the former truths, sets the very stage by which wheat are separated from tares, dividing those who actually wholeheartedly embrace "The Truth" from those who only embrace it in part, to whatever end or reason. Such is the process of time as Yeheshua himself is recorded to have noted to his disciples, that there is a point at which both wheat and tares appear identical, and to separate them one must allow them to "grow" together.
Of those embracing only in part, many reasons may persist for so doing, most prevalent is likely fear, as the condition of those embracing the truth in whole, sets the stage whereby they find themselves in need of comfort. Such is the essence of Thessalonians chapter 4. Some when faced with this condition, this paradox of the joy of having come to the truth, knowing the former embracement of a lie, to the grim process of letting go, of forsaking what one has known, however "seemingly true" to lend consideration beyond ignorance, some for whatever reason abandon the Truth, and it's pursuit. Content to consider themselves "studied" rather than to continue in Study, and in such contentment, the embracement of strikingly similar doctrines, still revealing..."Tares."
The stage becomes set, for those who grow in grace, babes to become infants, infants to become toddlers, toddlers to become children, a processes of maturing into completeness.
When faced with 'whatever' fear of the moment, some choose the sensation of security offered by the former things, but carry within them a greater knowledge of the truth than those things present. In this embracement, the stage is set whereby one denying the process of truth, hiding from thier growing pain to reject whatever element YHWH has set before them as they reveal themselves not to have been wheat at all, but rather Tares.
The revelation of these Tares, the ability to know the difference between tares and the wheat to which they are identical in their adolescence, is derived from this very process of "growth."
Once Identical, the "TARES" are revealed now only as "Similar"... but in an earnest search for wheat, "Similar" is to those concerned with harvest..."Altogether Different." A statement I heard David Koresh say in an audio sermon comes to mind, “The Tares CHASE OUT THE WHEAT!” He was speaking on identifying tares from wheat. This became very much in the forefront of my thoughts and quite obvious just this past September. But that is another matter, and not the topic of this study, I Digress.
But for sake of continuing this discussion, in the greater picture, the overall plan…What becomes of the Tares? Well that is not the driving focus of this presentation, we are concerned here with our own salvation, our own process of "being Salvaged" to the truth. But we should note this point of separation, and this condition of "similarity" as a defining point whereby "Similar" doctrines begin to form. As the Tare, not wishing to acknowledge themselves as such, but rather aspiring to "BE WHEAT" do not acknowledge within themselves their point of separation, and continue on Growing, but no longer as "Wheat" to the harvest, and in their growth, and the embracement of that essence which once presented them seemingly as wheat, combined with that embracement of the former which actually reveals them as tares...many "NEW DOCTRINES" are formed, blending old notions, with the actual truth...the result...false doctrines which contain only "the essence of the truth" and as they divide further and further away, that essence diminishes, hence a watering down of the truth which serves to blind future generations from acknowledging the truth when it presents itself, whether that be a visit from God or otherwise. And to successive generations, this watering down of the truth has brought us full circle now to see us at both the end and beginning of a process to our own positions respectively.
So...what makes one wheat...? The answer is nothing.
That is, nothing of themselves, as salvation is truly a gift. It is within the makeup of wheat to embrace the truth for sake of the truth, moreso than any application of the same to itself. Wheat does not seek to be anything, it is merely what it is...Wheat. It would seem that the tare embraces qualities of Wheat, but is concerned with the truth only as it applies to themselves and their hopes of being wheat, but revealing such to be driven by the embracement of "the sensationalism of wheat" for so long as such holds thier attentions, I speak of course Metaphorically.
In truth as it applies to nature, to the actual grains, Tares have with them the hopes of "being wheat" but
while this hope is "with" them, it is not "within them" as they likewise merely are what they are..."tares."
This hope of tares to be wheat, is external, and placed upon them by those doing
the harvesting, by those who desire wheat,
and theirs are another level of concern to their own calling.
Now if you have found it within yourself to actually have read this far, rather than merely scanning for headlines, you certainly have not found the aforementioned to be "tiring," but rather such has served to hold your interest to this point, an introduction as we continue the study of America in Prophecy, as we now look at "Untimely Figs."
