The Tares Have Risen Above the Wheat!

By J. Richard Niemela

History it appears, has reached that prophetic time when false claimants to privilege, when obstructers of a true course through a Christian life are revealed - those of Esau who now possess the Dominion! Reached a time when these pretenders to the Kingdom are exposed for who and what they are - "Tares" --Weeds growing in the Wheat fields of Christianity.

Lukewarm Christians may be surprised, disappointed and filled with anxiety when they realize that these False associates, misleading the Shepherds, are alien "strangers" that have been "seeded" and are growing amongst them. Pretenders, determined to misguide and steer the Wheat from the Harvest, the gathering of His fruit into the Kingdom of the Lord.

When that ancient Sower scattered His seeds on the wheat fields of this world, these seeds were the Word of God, strewn on His fields, the wheat fields of His kingdom(1). But after this seeding, an enemy of men scattered his own seeds, his "Tares," into these wheat fields, while men slept. Many are still asleep, blind to an insidious growth among them.

Throughout history, the Sowers' plants often experienced diversions from truth, always needed care; nurturing, cultivation, watering and sunlight. The Tares seeded among them conspired and competed for dominance, blocked the sunlight, and corrupted His cultivation; disguising their true purpose! These counterfeit seeds sown among the wheat produced a plant able to emulate the wheat - to subtly intertwine roots with their neighbors, inhibiting removal; all the while, presenting an appearance of legitimacy.

From an old church dictionary comes a clear description of the term, "Tares":

TARES: [Matthew 13] Zizanion-Latin, Zowan-Arabic, Sonin-Hebrew: zan means nausea. Not the Scottish vetch, but "darnel;" at first impossible to distinguish from wheat or barley, until the wheat's ear is developed, when the thin fruitless ear of the "darnel" is detected. Its roots too, so intertwines with that of the wheat, that the farmer cannot separate them, without plucking up both, "till the time of the harvest." The seed is like wheat, but smaller and black, and when mixed with wheat flour causes dizziness, intoxication, and paralysis; "Lolium temulentum," bearded darnel, the only deleterious grain among all the numerous grasses. Ivraie, French for "tipsy grass" whence our harmless "rye grass" is named. Hollow professors, having the form without the reality of godliness, nay, even hurtful and bad [Isaiah 29:13, Matthew 15:8, Mark 7:6, Ezekiel 33:31]. None but the Lord of the Harvest can distinguish the seeming from the real. The attempt to forestall His judgment for the sake of securing a pure church has always failed, and has only tended to foster spiritual pride and hypocrisy(2).

Tares - Useless exploitative plants that sprout and rise up to crowd a fruitful wheat - in reality, weeds - that during growth are almost impossible to distinguish from the wheat or barley. Only when its rigid, erect stalk is exposed above the bowing, bending wheat, waving its small, dark and noxious fruit, can it be distinguished!

When the Wheat is ready for harvest, it bows down before the Lord, offering its fruit, seemingly in a sacrifice. But the Tares, with a lighter seed, are finally exposed - rigidly erect above the Wheat - just before the Harvest. Now conspicuous and arrogantly proffering as Cain, a debilitating offering! Certainly, "The children of the wicked one"(3).

Now, in this time before the Harvest, as the Lord informed His disciples; as His Word informs us as well: His angels are required [as in the Third vision of George Washington](4). Angels, to cut bundle and burn the Tares - before the Harvest begins. Tares so entrenched today, that only His angels can restore to men, a righteous Kingdom.

Passing centuries have seen the "Christian Wheat" ripening in the wheat fields of the LORD, but counterfeit Tares surreptitiously rose as well, their growth running parallel as antagonistic principles usually do. Tares disguising their true intent while being assimilated among the pliant wheat. Over the years, driven by progressively deceptive promotions, there developed an association, a false affinity between these two plantings - between Christian Wheat and the Tares of Talmudism.

Pharisaical Babylonian Talmudism - existed long before the time of Jesus, and continues today as the "life's-blood of Judaism" - so termed by their rabbinical leaders! Possessing a subtle, insidious determination to intertwine its evil roots with Christianity, it diverts Christians into a new toxic association, a religion, now called "Judeo-Christianity."

Judeo-Christianity, a relatively recent term is now used to describe Christianity by associating it with "Judaism," assuming by inference that Judaism was the source of Christianity - thus creating an impression that Christians owe an allegiance to the so-called Jews and their religion of Talmudic Judaism.

In fact, the two religions are the antithesis of each, diametrically opposed. The Talmud was created while Judah was in Babylon, designed to circumvent the rigid rules and instructions of Moses as found in the Torah, the Law.

The ancient Babylonian Talmud, called by the Lord the "Oral Traditions of the Elders that made the Law of non-effect," is now in print, but has been restricted from view over history. Its words are corrupt, subversive and severely anti-Christian. Luther wanted all copies burned. It spawned such damaging instructions as found in the Communist and Humanist Manifesto’s and in the diabolical Protocols of Zion; often denied, yet its dictates have been, and are being realized!

Jesus Christ's views of the Pharisaical Talmudism of His day, are yet manifest from the Zionist Judaism of today. Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 and other applicable Bible verses are as vivid and clear in condemnation today as then. How well the LORD understood this deception, the "entangled" roots of both religions falsely intertwined, guided by misled, blinded Shepherds who promote a confused growth process. Seeking to justify a "natural" outgrowth of both "plantings."

The co-mingling, an intertwining of roots has led to the false assumption that both were sourced and seeded together - that they are, and have been - synonymous - evolved into "Judeo-Christianity," two religions falsely blended and assumed to have sprung from the same fields of the Lord over the ages.

The Bible indicates otherwise, and historical events prove that these two faiths are not united in the platform of belief in Christ, the only avenue into the Kingdom as the Word insists!

Over the course of history, naive, "blinded in part," forgiving Christians, accommodated the growth of opposing Tares, saw them rise in their fields, then through deceit, often involve both in chaos, in war - leading in many instances, to “Jewish” banishment. Historical events, which were pre-coursers to the reapers sickle - foreshadowing those dire prophetic events promised by the Lord to occur just before the final "Harvest."

In the Parable of the Householder (found in Matthew 13), loyal servants reported the appearance of Tares among the growing wheat, their growth disguised to avoid detection, exploiting their location and association.

As He noted, the wise Householder advised His servants to permit their growth and not remove them, as their roots, surreptitiously entangled with those of the Wheat, inhibited removal – In weeding, the Wheat would also be uprooted.

But, just before the time of the Harvest, when the Tares have risen above the compliant wheat, conspicuously overshadowing their host: the reapers, now the angels, are instructed by the Lord; their mission, - Remove the Tares - "gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity." "Gather ye first the Tares and bind them into bundles for burning," seems to imply that the Householder (Christians) will not be able to resolve their problem, as the Tare's, now so entrenched that only His angels can "...cut, bundle, and burn them."

"Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father"(5). The treasure hid in the fields does produce joy to those that find it.

How perfect and finite is the planning of our Lord. The smallest annotation, the most simple Biblical instructions so dovetail together in this path of history across the generations, that His concern for even a sparrow fits into it all.

This gathering of the Tares by the Lord's angels; the burning of them before the Wheat is housed in the Kingdom, implies in a literal sense, that the Wheat will "see" these events. Psalm 91:8 promises, "with thine eyes shalt thou behold the reward of the wicked." A further confirmation of this end-time event is noted in Psalm 37:34, "...when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt “see” it." Consider well the words "see" and "behold." They confirm Jesus' words in Matthew 13.

How does this seeing with "their eyes" speak to those who promote the pre-tribulation "rapture?" Those misguided Shepherds of Churchianity would have Christians taken away, to sit in comfortable arm chairs in the clouds with the Lord, watching events unfold here on earth. Never Christian! You will be a witness to these events, and your "roots" to the past are important - Jacob! Israelite!

Clearly, at the harvest, the now untangled Wheat, the Righteous, will shine forth as if they had been under clouds - black clouds, much like those in Gen. Washington's revealing Third vision for America; seen when suffering with his troops at Valley Forge. The Tares, the ungodly pretenders, the false claimants to the covenant privileges, the corrupters, the obstructers, now protruding above the wheat, will be exposed to the heavenly reapers, the Lord's angels.

Today, it is obvious that the Tares have risen above the Wheat in the wheat field countries of the Lord, those nations of true Israel, no longer "lost" yet still experiencing the "blindness in part" that St. Paul notes in Romans, blind only however, "until the time of the Gentiles has come in." That time is close (6). The Tares have achieved dominion (7), have risen to crowd our Christian heritage with a noxious presence, have induced a Talmudic anti-Christian immorality and control on the people. Their alien influence rises in the Courts, in our Schools and Churches, all now thoroughly immersed in the doctrinal sea of the Talmud and its commentaries.

Their toxic policies filter through the financial and political institutions dominated by the Tares, making this once Christian nation subservient to a humanist, One World Order under very identifiable Tares. Many of today's Christians, like the passive wheat, quietly submit to entangled roots, accommodatingly “Christian,” as Christians are naturally wont to do; willing to forgive; almost docile in their blindness to today's rising growth of the Tares.

But, not all are that "blinded," many are rapidly beginning to realize and see, as did the disciples when they asked the Master to "Declare unto us the Parable of the Tares..." Beginning to recognize the coming resolution to this ancient, contentious issue. Our Lord, in the most detailed elaboration of His parables was most specific in describing to whom this parable applied and why, to How it would be resolved, when it would happen, and the final results (8).

Today's growth of the Talmudic Tares, now rigidly obvious above the Christian Wheat, stimulates this growing awareness, while the blindness is being corrected, the scales are being removed; the truth of the Kingdom is emerging!

A clear indication that the time of the Harvest is approaching.

The ancient historical mixing of seeds of good and evil, the intertwined roots, the disguised growth, the different offerings of fruit has also seen the Tares become a stumbling-block to the Wheat, many being led away from Biblical truths. Even by their own confused Shepherds!

In the end, this deception leads to that final solution promised by the Lord to His disciples but now also to us-- awaiting that announcement, that blast from the Seventh trumpet that warns of the separation of the Tares from the Wheat by His angels - Approaching as you read. An event confirmed by the Lord's own words to the Pharisees: "but He answered and said, every plant which my heavenly Father, hath not planted, shall be rooted up"(9).

The great historic controversy between good and evil, between Esau and Jacob, may have finally reached the limits of Divine forbearance. Today this controversy is certainly increasing in intensity and will, to the close of the age—until the Tares of evil are finally removed and the Kingdom is restored.
