Two Seed and the Harvest
- Jer 31:27 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will plant the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the offspring of men and of animals.”
God prophesied that there will be two seeds sowed (Jer 31:27). In this verse, the offspring of men means seed of God, and the offspring of animal means the seed of Satan. The place that these seeds planted is the house of Israel and Judah, the world of God’s chosen people. These promises fulfilled at the time of the First Coming. Jesus came to the world, and he sowed the word of God to the Israelites. Then, Jesus is the one who sowed the word of God, God’s seed, to the world. However, something happens after Jesus sowed the God’s seed.
Let us check out the parables of heaven that Jesus told more detail.
- Mt 13:24-30 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed food seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.”
“The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’”
“ ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
“‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At the time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.
Jesus sowed the seed to his field, the world of Christianity. After Son of Man sowed the GOOD SEED, the enemy sowed the weeds. Then, who is the enemy? Satan is the enemy. Satan sowed Satan’s seed, his own laws and doctrines to Jesus’ field. Therefore, the prophecy that God told to us was fulfilled at the First Coming.
- Mt 13:37-43 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
“As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the age. The Son of Man will send out his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
In the parable, the owner’s servants noticed that the weeds sowed in their owner’s field. They asked to the owners to pull the weeds up. However, the owner just let the weeds leave in the field until the time of harvest. Then, when is the time of the harvest? The time of the harvest is the end of age. It does not mean the end of the world. What is the world to Jesus? It is the world of Jesus, therefore; the harvest starts at the end time of Jesus’ world.
What is the result after these two seeds sowed? Good Seed became the wheat, and the weeds are the sons of evil one. The wheat will be brought into the owner’s barn, Jesus’ barn. However; the weed will be thrown into the fiery furnace. It just merely small difference of seed, but the result is so tremendous. Therefore, bearing with God’s seed is so important to the believers. Because not all believers can go to the heaven, those who are born with the God’s seed only can enter the kingdom of heaven.

Believers who want to enter the kingdom of heaven should be born with the God’s seed and be brought into the barn. Then, where is the barn that we should go at the time of the harvest. We can check it more specifically at the book of the Revelation written about the time of the end and the prophecies in the New Testament. At the Chapter 14 in the Revelation, there is a Mount Zion that those who offered as firstfruits of God and the lamb gathered. Also, this firstfuits are born with the word of truth, God’s seed (Jas 1:18). Therefore, people who gathered in Mount Zion are born with the God’s seed, the word of truth, and Mount Zion is the right place that God, Jesus and the spiritual thorn in the heaven are dwell in.
Believers who follow the word of Jesus and wish to go to the kingdom of heaven should understand the realities of these two seeds and should be the children of God that are born with the God’s seed so that they can be harvested to the barn at the time of the harvest, the end of the era.
