Matt 13:19 this seed is the Word of the kingdom, given to man to produce salvation but also the fruit of God. If you go through the teaching of the Kingdom of God, you see that:
• unbelief
• Greed
Matt 13:40-41 They offend the nature, and testimony of Christ.
Not only the outwardly wicked, but the false pretenders, the mock wheat shall be removed.
1. There fate is fire, the most terrible of punishments; Yet this won't annihilate them for there will be wailing & nashing of teeth!
2. "Furnace of Fire" - "whose smoke goes up forever & ever!
3. Rev.14:9-11

Matt 25:1-13 The parable of the bridegroom,
3. What's going to happen when they stand before God?
The kingdom of God begins within your heart, (salvation) every morning you can sing and dance you don't have to live under the power of the wicked one.
Matt 13:31-32 the kingdom is like a small seed, starting with a prayer of repentance,
Matt 13:33 The kingdom never stops growing, until Christ comes you will continue laying aside everything in your life that does not Glorify God. You ask God to take you further.
Leaven is found 98 times in scripture & every time it is a symbol or linked w/evil!
• It had to be removed from the Jewish homes during Passover!
• It was excluded from almost all Sacrifices!
• Jesus used it to picture hypocrisy, false teaching, & worldly compromise!
• Paul used Leaven to picture carnality in the church, also as false doctrine!

Matt 13:23 those who hear, bear fruit.
Matt 25:14 God gave us all His gifts, to glorify Him. His heart is the treasure. Not mans money! Victory is in Christ not the powerball.
Matt 13:24
Matthew 13 we are given 8 parables-to cast down or lay down, to make a comparison, looking at heavenly truths and compare them to earthly illustrations.
These are the kingdom parables. Kingdom speaks of rule and reign of God.
v.24 Another", v.31, v.33 these are linked by the word Another-Alas, another of the same kind.
• These deal with growth, v.22, v.23 (bears fruit) v.30 (growing) v.32 (growing) v.33 leaven grows.
Second set of parables v.44 "Again" v.45, v.47 --again, means moreover, or furthermore.
• What makes these different is they deal with value. Look at v.44 treasure, v.45 pearls, v. 48 dragnet being full, into vessals, value in fish. V.52 treasure.
Matt 13:24-30 "Tares" - (zizania - zizania) "the Darnel", impure, false, counterfeit)
He seems to counterfeit everything!

Counterfeit Christians!
2 Cor 11:26 "I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers."
-Church's today teach on books by Christian authors, not even the Bible anymore. How sad.

Counterfeit Gospel!
Gal.1:6-9 "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed."

Counterfeit Righteousness!
Rom.10:1-3 "Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness."

Counterfeit Church!
Rev.2:9 "I know your afflictions and your poverty--yet you are rich! I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan."

Counterfeit Christ!
2 Thes.2:1-12 "Anti-Christ"

Matt 11:27 - "How then does it have Tares?" - The question is a confession that they had been asleep!
vs.28 - "An enemy has done this" - We can name a number of people, but the worker behind the scene is the Devil himself!

Notice the Owner had not slept, He knew who did it!
Ps 121:4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
"Do you want us to go & gather?" - NO! Our task is not to pull up the False, but to plant the True!
Now is the time of Growing! Grow on! - Are you? - Is your fruit showing white grain or black?

vs.29 - Where thorns & thistles are clear & open we better deal w/it.
But when it is questionable, we had better hold are hand.
"He who does not believe. that God will cast unbeliever's into Hell will not be sure that he will take believer's into Heaven!" (Spurg)
