Wheat Growing in
Israel
This cereal was extensively grown in
Palestine
; the
harvest
was in May and June. In the
parable
it is used by the
Lord
as representing the
children
of the
kingdom
, the fruit of the good seed that He was
sowing
on the
earth
, in contrast to the
tares
, or darnel, which
Satan
secretly sowed among the good seed.
The Lord Himself, being
the second
Man
“out of
heaven
,” is compared to the grain of wheat that must have remained alone unless it had died, but which in dying would bring forth much fruit. This clearly shows that there was no union of Christ and
natural
man by His incarnation alone, and that through the
death
of Christ the fruit produced by His
resurrection
is of the same order as Christ Himself (
Matt. 13:25-30
25
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27
So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28
He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. (Matthew 13:25‑30)
;
John 12:24
24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. (John 12:24)
;
1 Cor. 15:48-49
48
As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. (1 Corinthians 15:48‑49)
).
There are
three
or four varieties of
Triticum
grown in Palestine.
