Svalbard Grobal Seed Vault is a seed bank located in Norwegian and has approximately 1.5 million Seeds. And there are more than 100,000 kinds of rice seeds.
Well, then how many kinds of seeds do you think are there in the bible? TWO!
In the Old Testament (Jer31:27) - the Seed of Man and the Seed of beast.
In the New Testament (Mt13:24)- Wheat and Weeds.
Why do you need to know what kind of seed you are?
Because of the Harvest! (Mt13:30 , Rv 14:14~15)
Would you rather be the wheat to be harvested and taken into the barn than weeds to be bundled and burned?
I hope that makes you wonder whether you are the wheat.
Remember, both seeds were in the same field of Jesus.
Two
Kinds of Seeds
&
Harvest
The text: Mt 13:24-30
What does it mean by two kinds of seeds and harvest?
Jesus
sowed good seed of heaven in his field. In this field, demon has sowed
his own seed (tares) also among the wheat.
Therefore, due to these two seeds, two kinds of trees grew together in one
field. The field is the world (Mt 13:38), that is to say, churches of Jesus, the
seed is the Word of God (Lk 8:11).
Regarding
the sowing of these two kinds of seeds, it has been prophesized by God around
2,600 years ago from now through Jeremiah that “I
will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and
with the seed of beast” (Jer 31:27). About 600 years passed from then and
thereafter, Jesus and Pharisees sowed each of their own seed. The seed of man
was sown by the Son of Man, Jesus, and the seed of beast (the seed of demon) was
sown by Pharisees, the beast or viper (Mt 23:29, 33). Two trees yielded from
these two seeds growing
together until the time of harvest (Mt 13:30).
The
time of harvest is when the sun, moon, star of the spiritual Israel are darkened
and fallen from the sky by the destroyer (Mt 24, Rv 13). At this time, Jesus and
angels go to the field, the churches of Jesus, where the seeds are sown, with
sickles in their hands (Rv 14:14). Jesus and the angels are spirit, and the
sickle in their hands is the believers that have the Word. Just like this, the
harvest is done secretly at night (like what a thief would do) (1 Thes 5:2, 2 Pt
3:10) for faithful people are harvested one by one into the barn
where God is, and they are brought up and sealed with a new song (Rv 14:3) to be
re-born. When this happens, harvested people are those who believe in the Word
and follow the Word, which is God (Jn 1:1). The tares who do not believe in the
Word do not come after the Word. The barn
where harvested believers go is the spiritual Mount of Zion, where God is. Also
in that place there are 12 tribes, which are the first fruits, the throne of
God, the lamb, four living creatures and 24 elders (Rv 14:1-5).
It
is said that this time of harvest is the end of the age (Mt 13:37-39). Why the
end of the age? The end of the age means the end of the world of Christianity,
or the spiritual Israel. What is the reason for this? It is because after the
wheat is harvested, the remaining churches and the tares are being burned (Mt
13:30); which means that the spiritual Israel and church will come to an end,
and therefore the end of the age, and since the sun, moon and star are to become
darkened and fallen, there is an end and destruction to the spiritual Israel.
Who will be redeemed, the first wheat who are harvested into the barn
at the time of harvest, or the remaining tares and their pastors and churches?
Those who stand against being harvested and like to remain in their church are
those who do not believe in Jesus and his Word.
Just
as God told there would be the work of sowing two kinds of seeds and just as
Jesus fulfilled it during his time, Jesus told that there would be the time of
harvest and today he has fulfilled it. At this time, who are the heretics, the
tares left behind in the field of sown seeds or the wheat, harvested into the
barn? At the time of Jesus, they called Jesus, the Son of Man who sows the seed,
a heresy and today they are calling Jesus “who came again to harvest” (Mt 24:31)
a heresy. The reason for this is because the demon that called Jesus a heresy
during his time has gotten into them. In the time of Jesus, as the pastors of
Israel shut
off the kingdom of heaven from men; for they do not enter in themselves, nor do
they allow those who are entering to go in (Mt 23:13), today, the same thing is
taking place. Those who believe in Jesus and his promised Words should follow
His Word.
The
reason why Sinchonji the church of Christ knows about the tree of life, the tree
of knowledge of good and evil, the sign of harvest and end of age, and the three
mysteries of Revelation is because it has seen and heard through what has been
revealed by Jesus. The sent person of God testifies what he sees and hears, and
the sent person of God knows the Word of God for He
gives the Spirit without measure (Jn 3:31-34).
The
believers should remind of themselves that the time of the Son of Man is same as
the time of Noah (Mt 24:37, Lk 17:26), and therefore should find the promised
place of salvation in order to earn redemption.
