Myth—Everybody Gets To Go

Satan Sows Doubt & Corruption About The Kingdom!

Jesus said, “The kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy

came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.” Matthew 13:24-25

The Kingdom Is Likened To A Mustard Seed! The tiny kingdom seed planted in good soil grows strong!

Jesus said, “The kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.” Matthew 13:31

The Kingdom Is Likened To Leaven!

The kingdom leaven grows spiritual maturity in the committed heart!

Jesus said, “The kingdom of Heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all

leavened.” Matthew 13:33

Jesus Explains The Kingdom Fields, Good Seeds & Tares!

1. Jesus, Son of Man, is the sower of good kingdom seeds.

2. Fields represent the world and all of its nations. 3. Good seeds are the sons of the kingdom. 4. Tares [wheat weeds] are the sons of the wicked one [Satan]. 5. Satan sowed tare seeds among the good seeds sowed by Jesus.

6. Satan [devil] is the enemy of Jesus’ kingdom sowing efforts. 7. Harvest is the end of the age or last days before Jesus returns. 8. Reapers are the angels who accompany Jesus on his return. 9. Tares will be gathered and burned in fire signaling end of this age.

10. Son of Man will send His angels to remove all things that are then offensive in His kingdom and those who practice lawlessness.
