Who are the Tares?

The first thing a person must understand is that the Scriptures are written in mysteries. They were not meant for everyone to understand. This is an undeniable fact. Mat 13:10-16, 13:34-35 & Luke 8:10

Mat 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, "Why speakest thou unto them in parables?"

13:11 He answered and said unto them, "Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given."                                                                           

Mat 13:34 All these things spake Yahushua unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:       

13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world."

Luke 8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of YHWH: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

This is not hard to figure out if a person thinks about it. These scriptures have been in man's hands for many centuries. Some very intelligent people have tried to interpret them. There are so many different religious denominations in the world today, and since each one thinks that they are the true believers, it can only mean that the truth has been hidden from them. Only through the Kodesh (holy) Spirit can one understand the word of YAHWEH, whose secrets have been shut up until the time of the end. Rom 16:25...

Rom 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my evangel, and the preaching of Yahushua, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting Elohim, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith

YAHSHUA taught us a lesson in Mat 13:24-43 in the parable of the good seed and the tares. He said a man went out to sow his field with good seed, 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 said unto him, "Did you not sow good seed in thy field? Where did these tares come from?" He said unto them, "An enemy hath done this."

In verses 37-40, YAHSHUA explains that the field is the WORLD, not the Assembly as most people teach. The GOOD SEED represents the children of and the kingdom of YAHWEH, but THE TARES are the children of that wicked one (SATAN through the serpent).

It should be noted here that the master did not say that the servants were to leave the tares alone in the hopes that the they would change their ways, and become good seed, but that it was a forgone conclusion that they would be destroyed by fire, in the end. When you consider this along with Mark 4:11, 12...

4:11 And he (YAHSHUA) said unto them, "Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of YAHWEH: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:         

12 In order that, seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them."

This proves that even in the nation of Judah, there were people that YAHWEH did not want to repent, in order that they could be saved.

I realize that this does not conform to the teaching of the church world today, and I know the scriptures that they are going to come up with to try to prove it. But look at Rom. 9:10-22 and read what it really says. It makes it clear that YAHWEH has made some vessels unto honor and some vessels of wrath fitted for destruction.

By now it should be clear to any thinking person that there are two types of people on the earth, the children of YAHWEH and the children of the devil.

So how did it all take place? We know how YAHWEH's people got here, by reading the story of creation, but how did the children of the devil get here?

For the answer we must go back to the garden of Eden and take a close look at what really happened there, remembering that this was written to a people of little understanding and that knowledge was not to be increased until the later days. Dan. 12:4

In Genesis 3:1 it says the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field. (This means that he was more intelligent then the rest of the BEASTS that YAHWEH had made.) He said to the woman. "Has YAHWEH told you that you can not eat of all the trees of the garden?" (The point that you must understand here is that Eve was not surprised that this animal could talk.)

This Beast was very much like man, so much so that when their bodies are dug up today, people mistakenly call him prehistoric man. This beast had two legs two arms and we know he had vocal cords and was able to talk and reason after a kind.

But he was completely inhabited by satan the devil, and under his control.

Now we come to the story of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, whether this is spiritual or natural fruit. I don't want to get into that right now, but I will make this comment...much is made over the evil knowledge and not much over the good knowledge! Look at Hosea 10:13 cocerning the fruit of lies.

Eve ate of the fruit and gave to Adam with her to eat. Please note, that the woman ate with the serpent, and the man ate with the woman. This explains what Paul meant in 1 Tim. 2:14 "Adam was not deceived but the woman being deceived was in transgression."

Then their eyes were opened and they knew they were naked. They knew they had sexual organs, and tried to hide them, by making themselves aprons which would only cover that part of them.

In verse 16, YAHWEH said to the woman that he would greatly multiply her sorrow and her CONCEPTION. Please note here that the woman has already conceived at this point.

The serpent, at this point in time, is changed from an almost human, to a form that we recognize today. His seed being planted in the woman mixed with the seed of Adam. They cannot be recognized by looks but must be recognized by actions and the things they do.

They can be recognized but only through the word of YAHWEH. 2 Peter 2:10-12 says "chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise government," (spiritual authority), "Presumptuous, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities." ...... "But these, as NATURAL BRUTE BEASTS made (for one reason) to be taken and destroyed, (they) speak evil of things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption."

Gen. 4:1 makes it look like Cain is the son of Adam. But if you look close you will see that Adam knew his wife ONCE and she had two sons; one the son of the serpent, the other the son of Adam. Look at I John 3:12 ...."Cain who was of that wicked one and slew his Brother." The word "of" means that he came from that wicked one. The best explanation is that there was a duel conception, as the scripture says that Eve is the mother of all living and no where does it say that Adam is the father of all living. Please note when Adam's genealogy is given, Cain is not in it; see Gen chapter 4...and Adam is not in Cain's genealogy...see Gen 4:17-24. As a matter of a fact, Cain is not called Adam's son anywhere.

Now look at 2 Cor. 11:1-3; this certainly makes it look like the apostle Paul is saying that Eve was not a chaste virgin when Adam first knew her. Paul is using a natural fact to describe something spiritual. Look at Gen 6:2-13...."The sons of YAHWEH saw the daughters of men, that they were fair, (Two types of people) and took them wives of all that they chose." This shows the mixing of the SEEDS that highly displeases YAHWEH. It shows the violence that followed as a result of breaking YAHWEH's laws. YAHWEH has always been against mixing anything, and especialy with the CANAANITES or anything that they have touched. (See Law of YAHWEH!) Deu. 22:9-12 (See Ex. 12:38; Num. 11:4-6; Neh 13:3 Mixed Mulitude.)

Most people trying to explain this part of the scriptures end up saying that the sons of YAHWEH were Angels, or Fallen Angels by using the scriptures in Job calling the angels the sons of ELOHIM. But if you look at Luke 3:38...Adam was also called the son of ELOHIM. And we of the BELIEVERS are called the sons of YAHWEH, see John 1:12; Rom. 8:14 & 19; Philp. 2:15 and 1John 3:1-2.

Also look at Matt. 22:30...YAHSHUA states that the angels neither marry or are given in marriage, completely doing away with that explanation. The only sensible explanation is that Gen 6:2 is talking about two different races. You must always remember that the scriptures are written in mysteries, and you must be given understanding by the Kodesh Spirit.

I will now address the question of how did the Seed of the serpent get through the flood, when only eight people were spared from the wrath of YAHWEH?

If you will look at Gen 6:8-9 that only Noah found favor in the eyes of YAHWEH, and only he was perfect in all of his generations. This means that his wife and three sons were not necessarily so. They could be carrying the serpent (gene) seed.

Gen. 9:21-27 is the story of Noah drinking wine to the point of being drunk and he was uncovered in his tent. Now one of his sons sneaks into his bed room and does something to him, the story says he saw his fathers nakedness and told his brothers after he left the tent. His brothers took a garment on their shoulders and walked backward to cover their father's nakedness.

If you will look at Lev. 18:7-8 it says, "The nakedness of thy father's wife .... is thy father's nakedness" and Lev. 20:11 says

"And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his fathers nakedness...."

So if you use common sense, you can figure out what really happened in the tent. Ham did something in there, not just look. The chapter makes it very clear that Ham is the father of Canaan in verse 18 and again in verse 22, and Canaan was the one who was cursed, not Ham. Common sense will also tell you that Canaan was the result of what really happened in the tent that day.

Canaan was the father of the canaanites who were an abomination to YAHWEH. Look at Deut. 7:24-26. Everything they had including the silver and gold was an abomination. Israel was told not to covet any of the cursed things, but to completely destroy them and everything that they had.

The Canaanites are still cursed and always will be, as Zec. 14:21 states concerning the return of YAHSHUA to this earth, and the setting up of the kingdom.

Now to address the question of where is the seed of the serpent now. If you look at Gen. chapter 38... Judah, one of the sons of Jacob (Israel), whose decedents we call Jews today, Judah took a wife, the daughter of a Canaanite. She gave birth to three sons; Er, Onan, and Shelah. Er and Onan were evil and YAHWEH killed them. Judah must of known that Shelah was evil also because he tried to shield him by refusing to give him to Tamar, his daughter in-law.

The scriptures say that Judah took a wife for his son, but doesn't say she was a Canaanite as it did about his own wife. The story goes on to explain how Judah was tricked into having sex with his daughter in-law, Tamar, who had twins; Pharez (meaning the breach) and Zerah (meaning Prince of the scarlet thread). But the scriptures here go to great lengths to show that Judah had two children that did not come through the Canaanite woman, but you must remember that 1/3 of his surviving children was from the canaanite woman, and the genealogy of YAHSHUA came through Pharez, NOT THE CANAANITE.

Now when you read Mat. 23:33 and see YAHSHUA calling the scribes and pharisees SERPENTS and VIPERS, you see he was not calling them names, he was just telling them what they were.

It is also evident that there were others of Israel who carried the serpent seed (gene) in them, as we see in Genesis chapter 49, where Jacob is telling his sons, what they will be in the last days. He tells Dan that he is a serpent that bites the horses heel that causes the rider to fall backward. An obvious reference to the fact that he was the son of Bilhah the handmaid who committed fornication with Reubin his firstborn son by Leah. Gen. 35:22 &

1 Chr. 5:1. This is a major reason why Israel was continually BACKSLIDING.

Also this explains what is meant in Gen 37:2 when Joseph reports to his father the evil deeds of the sons of the handmaids. The serpent seed was well established in Israel at that time, and if it is there, it is in all other races also.

This also should help explain what is meant when the scriptures talk about the elect (chosen) ones of YAHWEH being fore knowledged and predestinated both Gentile and Hebrew.

Read Amos 9:9 "for lo I will command and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth," meaning the true seed of YAHWEH will come through pure, by a miracle of YAHWEH.

Understanding this truth is a necessary part to understanding other parts of the last day mysteries that YAHWEH is showing his servants at this time. All of the mysteries will fit together and we will be ready when the time comes.

Ephe 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one, all things in the Messiah Yahushua, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

1Pet 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
