GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 13:18-30

(Jesus continues) — 18 - “Hear then the parable of the sower, 19 when someone hears the message of the kingdom and doesn’t understand it, evil comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path. 20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, is when someone hears the message, and they receive it with joy, 21 yet they have no root in their self, and endure for a while, but when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the message, the fall away. 22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the message, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke it out, and it proves to be unfruitful. 23 As for what was sown on good soil, this is one who hears the word and understands it. They indeed bear fruit and yield, some a hundredfold, another sixtyfold, and another thirtyfold.”

     24 Then he said another parable [parabole: - a parable, comparison, from pará - close beside, with, and bállō - to cast – a teaching aid cast alongside the truth being taught] “The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a farmer who sowed good seed in his field, 25 but while the workers were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and then went away. 26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, the weeds appeared also. 27 And the workers came and said, ‘Master/mister, did you not sow good seed in your field? Why then does it bear weeds?’ 28 He answered, ‘An enemy has done this!’ So the workers said, ‘Do you want us to go and gather out the weeds?’ 29 ‘No ‘ he said, ‘lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat also. 30 But let both grow until harvest, and then I will tell the reapers, ‘Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned’ (imo, to armageddon battle, as what other bonfire will there be? Especially simultaneously to the wheat gathered, 1Cor.15:23) ‘but gather the wheat into my barn.’” (Mt.13:33 key word 3, w/ 1Cor.15:22-24,28 - 3 harvests, barley, wheat, and then “at the ‘end’ the overflowing grape harvest.)

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                  ~ Romans 9:19-26 ~

19 - You will doubtless say to me, “Why then does God still find fault?[Since it’s HE who assigns the roles.] For who can resist his will?” 20 But who are you, O man, to argue with God?! Will what is molded say to its maker, “Why have you made me thus?” 21 Has the potter no right over the clay? (The director over the cast?) to make out of the same lump (humanity) one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable? (The ‘good’ guys and the ‘bad’ guys? And all degrees in between.) 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath (cause and effect, truth) and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for ruin, 23 in order to make known the riches of his glory! (This all important contrast will totally prove Truth.) And vessels of mercy prepared for glory— (at the culmination of the drama) 24 even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles? 25 As indeed he says in Hosea, “Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’ and her (the nations) who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’” 26 “And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’” (And like prophecy - expands and works out, from smaller pond ripple to full pond ripple. Obviously, since “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10.)
