Address—C. Buchanan
DISCLAIMER: The following has been auto-transcribed. We hope it will help you to find the section of this audio file you are looking for.
Let's start with #40 in the back part of the book.
#40 in the appendix.
Hailed to the Lord's anointed.
Who's that great papers?
Greater sign.
The last standard king shall fall down before him.
And go.
And incense brain.
Whole nation shall adore Him, His praise.
All people sing. We can do it right now. That's number 40 in the back of the book.
Hail to the Lord.
Day.
Matthew 13.
I'd rather.
Glad to hear.
That our brother Neil has recently.
On over this chapter with young people.
Because in my own history.
I can go back 50 years.
About.
To rent a man named John Wilson.
Came to our little assembly out in the country.
Southern Illinois.
And spoke on this chat.
Deeply impressed me.
Young people are the ones that get the word.
Eric Smith, who some of you know, the missionary, 95 years old now, still living, he said to me one day. He said, you know, and the thoughts of you are long, long thoughts.
95 he has reverted back to his youth, tell stories about his Jupiter.
It's wonderful to get the Word of God and still in the mind in your youth.
You read this first verse here.
The same day when Jesus out of the house and sat by the seaside.
We're going to read verses and comment upon them little by little as we have time.
What does this tell us?
The same.
Who lost it?
Went Jesus.
Jesus, God manifest in the flesh. God come down.
Revealed by Matthew.
Republican. Not Republican, but Republican.
One who had a place in the tax collecting public government.
Was used to reveal to tell us about Jesus as the Messiah.
Particularly to the Jews whom he had come.
To show that he was their king, the Craig.
He did come.
The early chapters tell us his name is Jesus, for he shall save his people and their sins. But it also calls him Emmanuel. That's being interpreted as God with us. That was the literal fact. This man was and is God. He came now.
00:05:13
He ministered to the Jews.
For a full 3 1/2 years publicly before that many testimonies his own mother recognizing some has to who he was and we may say is God manifest from the flesh.
He had come to.
Do his own as John Rice.
And his own received him, not, that is his own people.
Born of Israel, made of a woman.
To redeem them that were under the law, He had come to them, I say.
Now speaking to farmers like myself.
We enjoy.
The way Jesus.
Pictured things to us.
There are 7 parables in this chapter.
The parable is a story.
Using.
Literal things.
Like trees, for instance.
Or she or other things.
With a meaning behind it.
And.
God had worked.
With Israel beforehand.
Using a figure of a tree, 3 trees.
The victory.
Is in scripture a figure, a picture of that nation Israel as a nation?
Behold the victory and all the trees. Luke 21.
Is God's way of telling us you look at Israel and all the other nations.
And that applies in 1988.
The fig tree and all the trees.
For the Lord had come to that victory.
He had a fig tree planted in his vineyard.
The vineyards and other symbol of the nation of Israel seeking fruit.
Ryan speaks out fruitfulness, and there's still another treat that God uses as a symbol of Israel, and that's the following truth.
And that's the richness, the fatness of the blessing of God to a people.
So that we find in Romans that the wine anomaly is draft into the old olive.
Is the Gentiles are put in the place of richness and fatness instead of Israel? I am talking about these three trees.
To help clarify what is coming up in this chapter.
For what had happened?
The same day was that finally?
Jesus felt himself rejected by Israel.
He had performed his miracles amongst them, healing the sick. Full of them came through.
Giving sight to the blind.
Hearing and speaks to the deafened zone. Cleansing the leopard.
Casting out demons and raising the dead to show that Emmanuel was their president.
All power of God against sin and its effects were seen in the ministry of Jesus, and they rejected.
In the chapter before this, the 12Th chapter, they attributed to Jesus his miracles to be elves above the Prince of Devils.
That was the cardinal sin of the nation.
From that point on, Jesus looks at them as.
Really.
Not wanting him rejected he was.
So now he goes out, he leaves the house. The house was relieved.
00:10:06
That he told me it may have been the House of God. It certainly was in the 23rd chapter.
This is a place where they were.
Those who were then, you might say, and he had come to, He leaves them, he goes out by the seaside, and a great multitude were gathered together under him, so that he went into a ship and sat, and the whole multitude stood on the shore. What a beautiful scene. Let's think about it a little more.
A most marvelous day this.
Here was Jesus, the Son of God, God manifest in the flesh, and he goes out of the house, He gets in this book, He goes out a little way and he looks back and there are the masses of the people standing on the shore waiting to hear him.
Now this is a picture.
The seaside and the multitudes there are picture of the masses of mankind.
The Gentiles, all mankind.
So he he begins a new thing.
When Israel has rejected him.
He begins a new thing.
And he begins to announce future things.
Now he was the king.
So the first thing he announces?
Is the Kingdom of heaven.
A little later on in this book, he announces the church.
And still a little later on, the Kingdom in glory.
But we're here to take up this chapter, which tells us.
About the Kingdom of Heaven.
Now Simply put.
The Kingdom of Heaven.
Is this fear of profession on the earth?
During the time when the king is in there.
Say that again because it's very important to get ahold of it.
Christendom is an accurate word. It means Christ's Kingdom.
And it's the same as the Kingdom of heaven in that sense. So to repeat, the Kingdom of heaven is this sphere of profession where people profess Christ in some measure or another. It's largely the Western world as men speak about it. It's this fear profession during the whole time and when the king went up until he comes back. Now that's a long time and we're still in it, but we're going down to the close up.
And when Mr. Wilson lined out these things, I thought, this is tremendous.
Because you and I can look back and see how accurately every prophecy in parable form has been fulfilled.
It just increases your faith to see that the word of God is true when God speaks that we ought to believe it.
So Jesus begins to announce a new thing, and he's not selecting any nation.
But it is for all the most.
There they stood on the shore, and he speak many things unto them in parables.
Saying, Behold, a sore went forth the soul.
A parables, we have said, is a story with a hidden meaning.
And we, as farmers enjoy and perhaps can understand.
This parable is coming up.
Easier than a man who works in an office in New York City, downtown in Manhattan.
You know they don't know much about planting and reaping.
But even they know something about it.
Put in a beautiful form.
Now say that in this chapter we have 7 perils. 7 in scripture is a.
Complete sets of things spiritually.
And So what the Lord is giving us is a complete outline of the time of the Kingdom of heaven.
Now, the first one is distinct from the six that fallen. We're just getting to that much of it today. Perhaps you'll notice when you read carefully.
00:15:10
Let the first parable.
Is different.
That's similar to the next one and those that follow in that.
The last six are called similitudes of the Kingdom for likenesses of the Kingdom.
And the last six are complete in themselves.
But I think the first one, before we read it be helpful to say.
That they apply. They talk about the time before the king went up to heaven, his own ministry as the king had been presented to the Jews.
The time when he was here.
The time when he was the sower.
It's nice, boys, to go out and plant corn, show some oats and that sort of thing and put it in the earth and watch it come up and grow.
It's very delightful thing to see the product come forth from what you're putting out. What is the same way?
He looked down here and here was Jesus. He had labored publicly those three and more years looking for a product, and there was a product, but it wasn't all good.
Clearly it's pretty much the gospel. We'll go ahead and read it. Behold, the sword went forth. The soul when he sowed. Some seeds fell by the wayside when the fowls came, and to guard them up some fell upon Stony places.
For they have not much earth, and forthwith they strung up, because they had no deepness of burden. When the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no roots they withered away. Some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprung up and choked them.
But other fell into good ground, and brought four fruit, some and 100 bowls, some 60 fold, and some 30 fold. Who have ears to hear? Let him hear. And the disciples came and said unto him, Why speak us thou unto them in peril? You see, He was speaking for all of those out there on the seashore to hear it. He answered and said to them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of heaven. Here he mentioned it.
This is what he's announcing, and it's a mysterious form. Doesn't look like a Kingdom.
But to them it is given.
It is not given to them, is not given unto you. It is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of heaven, but under them it is not together those who don't receive the Lord, for whosoever hath.
To him shall be given He that hath, he shall have more abundance. But whosoever hath not from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables, because they seem see none, and hearing they hear none, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaias, which saith By hearing he shall hear and shall not understand.
And seeing he shall see, and shall not perceive. For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull here. And their eyes have they closed, lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears.
For they.
For verily I say in you that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which you see and have not seen them, and to hear those things which you hear and have not heard them. This is the parable. Then he expand here Thee therefore the parable of the soul.
Now this, The thrower here is Jesus himself in his own ministry. Run here when anyone hears the word the Kingdom, There's the Kingdom mentioned again, for he was the King and understandeth it not.
00:20:01
Then cometh the wicked heart.
And catch it the way that which was sown in his heart.
This is he which received seed by the wayside.
But he that received the seed into Stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and Anon with joy receiveth it. Yet has he no root in himself?
But there is worthwhile for when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word by and by, he's offended.
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that feared the word, and the care of this Pearl, and the deceitfulness of riches showed the word. He become a unfruitful. But he that receive a seed into the back to heaven is he that hear the word and understand a bit, which also beareth fruit.
And bringeth forth some, and hundredfold, and some 60.
And some 30.
Well, it's rather simple in a way to look at this parable.
And see how it applied then and still applies.
To the seed that is being sown in the gospel of the grace of God.
For many.
Much work has been done in sowing the seed by the Lord Himself when He was here.
He preached the same gospel of John the Baptist priest. Repent the King, receive him.
John said he's coming, and in fact the Lord said he's here. Menace, I mean showing, manifesting by his own works that he was gone by what he did to overcome all the effects of sin.
And laboring at that, sowing the seed. And then so many did not receive it, but some of you did, and it was those who understood.
And the Lord is looking for us to understand what is sown today.
In the Gospel of the grace of God, which has now been praised well over 19150 years and still goes for and produces the same results.
That is what is shown.
1St is that which went by the wayside.
And the harrows came and devoured them up.
You've seen birds come out to broadcasting oats.
Or you don't get your corn quite deep enough and they pick up the seed and go off with it.
And it's gone. Doesn't produce anything. That's the picture.
When you noticed the gospel being presented.
Tracks handed out people talking about the Lord Jesus.
And.
Facts given my person just drops it and it blows away.
Or a word spoken. Don't pay any attention, just ignore.
An enemy put his portion there, and Satan is always at work still as he wants them.
To blind the eyes and that seeing they might not see. That was nationally true of Israel. That was the work that Jesus did. If you read the 49th song, you find the feelings of Christ about that whom this place you just moved to.
It is so tender to your heart to think of the feelings of Christ about His own work.
When he was here.
With Israel, you get it in the gospel.
And prophetically.
In the fourth verse.
Of the 49th of Isaiah we have the feelings of Christ about his own work. The 49th of Isaiah and the fourth verse. When you read this, just think of the heart of Christ.
That he had labored with Israel in perfection.
00:25:00
He was a perfect servant, absolutely perfect.
And they turned him down. They turned him down. Did he feel it? Look what he says.
Then I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for North, and in vain. Who does he trust in now?
Yet sure, my judgment is with the Lord.
And my work with my God.
You gospel preachers, this is a verse for you. You may preach the gospel, you may hand out tracts and people just ignore it. You don't see any results.
Down in Bolivia.
Years and years ago.
A man was dying.
Consumption. That's a form of tuberculosis.
Eric Smith a new and he had been saved.
And he wanted to do something for the Lord.
Fabian Estrada was his name.
Fabian had just a few months to live.
And he wanted to do something from the Lord.
And Eric helped him. He gave him some books, some Bibles and tracks and set him up and down the railroad on a free pass to labor for the Lord to hand out cracks and reach souls.
Worked for three or four or five months.
And Eric said, well, how did it go? Probably on, they said, I didn't see.
I didn't see anything.
But one of those tracks?
Fell in the hands of a man named Leno Bueno. He yet lives. He's a year older than Eric. He's 96. Being there in March, he was still moving around. I missed seeing him one day. He was saved through Fabiana's struggle.
You can be sure that your works not in pain. Somebody's going to get blessed. It's not important that we see it now. The blessed Lord he looked for results. He says I have labor in vain spent my strength or not yet as my work with my gone.
Well, he expounds this parable, and he goes a little further in the expounding of the parable. He always does in each parable where he tells what means. He goes a little beyond what you find in the parable itself.
But he tells what these different results are.
And in the 19th verse he says when anyone heareth the word of the Kingdom.
And understand if it's none, he doesn't really.
Take in his mind about what it means. Then cometh the wicked one over there is the enemy. He's always around. He catches the way, the seed that is sown in his heart.
This is he that receive a seed by the wayside. We've talked about that there's another result.
But me that received the seed into Stony places, the same as he that here the word an amount with joy receiveth it, Yet has he no root in himself, but doeth for a while, For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word by and by his offenders.
Now this is another result.
And it's no good.
A few years ago throughout California, they have two daughters out there. We get out once in a while. They're traveling the mountains. We don't have any mountains in Illinois and I haven't seen any now, but they get pretty big out there and they call them the Rocky Mountains out there. And this one mountain that we were looking at, look, look, I got shooted up almost as smooth as that ball, hard as granite. I looked up, way up there, maybe at 1500 feet up there.
There's a crack in the mountain.
And a seed of one of the trees to take a root in that crack and try this best to grow on the side and look about as Scron as your corner socks here to this year for a tree that's pretty poor. So you see, there's an example.
One who's heart is stolen.
00:30:02
He he grasped it right away. The sun's there and there's some germination, but there's nothing to last. It does not produce. You've seen this result in the gospel, that race going forth through each Come on, Pierce, the next day you don't.
Wind blows along, it comes there buddy and say, oh don't go post people, they're weirdos, that sort of thing. Maybe when they temptation they don't want to try, they don't want to storms their life and they should let drop away. This kind of thing still goes on. It went on with the Lord when he was sowing the seed too.
Verse 22. He also then received seed. Among the thorns is he that heareth the word.
Now we as Christians need to think about this.
And the care of this world.
And the deceitfulness of riches show the word, and he become untruthful.
There is a seeming.
They get a little prick in their conscience. When the Lord said in one of these prayers, let these things sink down into your ears, he meant your conscience and have a deep rooted work.
The flowers don't go out and turn out. I mean plant without stirring land up.
Clown discipline, heroin, ripping that land up and making a smooth seat back.
They don't work very well. I know there are some ways to.
Motel planning will do work, but there has to be a looseness of soil and a preparation is just right. It may be even more difficult to get a good seed crop, good stand of seed in the no till way of farming and the standard way of farming. But at any rate there has to be a fitness to that soil to receive the word, and then there has to be the care to keep out the.
Of course, we and Johnson grass or your corn and all those other things, the thorns and Thistle that aren't here, that rub the plant and it doesn't produce. Now for the Christians the care of this world.
You've experienced some of the tech for parents raising children is quite a bit of care of this work.
And it's right to have a certain amount of it, but it's the overcharge you'll find in Luke 21 That is wrong.
Be not overcharged with service and drunkenness and the cares of this one. We have a duty to do down here, and we must not go beyond that. But this is apparently one who just left the care that came along and the deceitfulness of riches. One last temple, looking at temporal things instead of eternal, was the error of this person.
And it chokes the word he doesn't produce any fruit, but he that received seed.
Into the good ground. You see that here, the word and understanding.
Meditate upon these things.
When God speaks, it's time to listen what my dad told me.
The bumper sticker you see sometimes is.
God says.
I believe it. That settles it.
But it's better if you say it this way.
God said it that.
See the difference? When God says that it's true, it's already settled. My believing doesn't change the word of God one bit. It's already said wherever, oh Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
So to understand the word, to think about it, meditate upon it, receive it, and then there will be the production. And it diminishes from 100 fold down to 30. We in the drought think we're going to the 30 fold this year, certainly down to the 60 fold. We're not up to the hundredfold production of these three comparisons here. And as farmers, we understand what this means. Well, the one who's sowing the seed.
Notice verse 38 ahead of time.
The field is the world.
The good seed are the children of the Kingdom.
What our Lord as King up in heaven is sowing.
00:35:04
Is children of the Kingdom.
Who's a child of the King?
Are you a turn into the king? He is king, you know. I meant a dearer, a nearer relationship, but you know him this way.
He's planted you over here in Iowa and over here various places in Puscan, Illinois. He has his children scattered all over Christendom.
Christendom is an accurate word that we say to express the Kingdom of heaven, which is here yet, and will be, until the king comes and puts down the last head of the last Gentile empire, whom we call the beast.
There's going to be a revised Roman Empire and there's going to be a man, a great man, raised up and take the lead of it during the days of the Tribulation. He's going to be a Greek. He's going to work with the other beast over in Jerusalem. It's nice to know these things and relate them to the truth camp.
Back in Ezekiel, you find prophetically sad.
I will overturn God's speaking. I will overturn, overturn.
Or turn it, and it shall be no more, until he comes whose right it is, and I will give it him. Perhaps the 21St chapter.
That is God's way of telling us in one verse what He has done during the time of the Gentiles we referred to when the time.
Of the Gentiles ends.
That's a different time than the time of the Kingdom of heaven. I hope I don't confuse you by saying this, but the time of the Gentiles began when Nebuchadnezzar set up because Israel had failed in their Kingdom in the line of death, God took it away from the Jews and He gave it to the Gentiles.
When Christ came, he was the time of the 4th Gentile Babylon, Media, Persia, Greece and Rome. Jesus was born in the days of the seizures. Augustus.
Tiberius played crucified. Now that was the time of the Gentiles.
Kings, and we're still living in that time of the Gentile king. That is the government of the world is not a hand of the Jews over there. There's having a struggle to be supported by the Gentile empowers of US and Britain or a few others to stay where they are. But they are there because Christ is going to come back and deal with them later. And that's how near we are to the end. I think these things are rather important to get a little bit of a grasp of.
So that the time of the Gentiles.
Ends at the time that the Kingdom of Heaven ends.
That is, Christ will come back as the king and put down that imperial head of the last Gentile empire, and he'll be here. Not as in heaven, baby, here on earth, you see.
Repeat about the Kingdom. It is a dispensational thing. It applies to this whole period of time.
Since Christ went up to heaven until he comes back.
So that brings us through the 1St parable and I want to go into the next one, verse 24. Another parable put HE4 come to them saying the Kingdom of heaven is like.
Notice that word like. We call that a simility. That's what it means likeness or.
Something similar to.
So we're going to get the rest of the Chapter 6 parables, which are all introduced with the same words, their likenesses.
Of the Kingdom of Heaven.
And it's quite a bit similar.
But it's very different from the one we've just been through.
Now this begins the age.
When Christ went up to heaven.
And he's still there.
As a result, put into the hands of man.
00:40:04
It's the results of the children of Kingdom.
Sowing the good seed of the Word of God. And it produced varying results. And it was a Pope.
And you've noticed in the gospel work, or maybe your own?
Efforts.
In grasping and holding the truth that the enemy opposes.
I've seen it over and over again.
You can look at the examples in the book of the Acts.
When Paul went forth in his ministry.
First attempt.
There was a man called Elias.
That means son of the former.
But he was a sorcerer.
And he opposed the works of God.
And God gave Paul, Saul, the power to put down that attack of Satan against the work that Paul is going to do, because Paul is a special servant, a chosen vessel to bear the Lord's name to the Gentiles. So let's be discouraged when the enemy attacks your work or my work, it may be a good sign that you're doing the right thing.
It may be a good sign that you're doing the right thing, that you're doing the work of the king. We're here to represent the king. We're the ones to sow the seed. We're the farmers to carry forth the message and the silly.
So the Kingdom of heaven is likened unto the man which sowed good seed in his field, but while men slept.
His enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. Isn't this interesting?
I never didn't have anybody when I was forming after I'd showed a field of pleat come along that I knew of.
And sow some wheat seeds behind where I have sow.
But I never had a perfect piece of wheat either.
And I haven't seen one where some kind of a weed didn't come up.
And there is a week that we call cheat.
That looks so much like wheat that when it.
And growing. You can't tell the difference until the heads put on.
It's as similar as a spelling of the word.
Just one letter.
Tweet is WH E8 she is CHEAT.
That's the cleverness of the enemy to imitate, and it's so in Christmas we're in Christmas, we're in the Kingdom of heaven.
And the Lord has put us here as the children of the Kingdom, to sow the good word, and the enemy comes only imitates it.
You know about Mohammed?
But I don't suppose you know very much. Neither do I.
But there was a missionary went from Springfield, IL.
100 and.
110 or 20 years ago and they beat half paper.
You can read about BF Pinkerton. He was gathered with us in Springfield, IL, married into the Europe family.
And Bert might know some of the Urix, their relatives are out in California. They yet live. There's one of them up in.
Calgary or vagina? No, he has Calgary.
I say this because some of the good seed still remains in that family. They're down here. BF Pinkerton went to Egypt, to Lebanon, where they have those awful terrorists and horrible wars and into Syria and into Palestine, preaching the word of God.
And he wrote about.
Mohammedanism or Islam?
Said that Koran. I tried to read it and he said it was.
10.
But the doctor was put so subtly that it just confused them.
Now that's the cleverness of the imitation.
Mohammedanism to Christianity so that people in the world can't distinguish. They think Allah is the God that we have.
It's an imitation of Satan. It's a diabolic.
00:45:04
And they come, they claim, to be the dominance of Abraham.
Oh, it's the imitation, and that's only one of the many that the enemy has sown.
Well, what are we going to do? I never did go out and pull up the cheap that's going to refund.
When the blades sprung up.
Verse 26 brought forth through then appeared the tears also, so the servants of the householder.
Came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thine field? From which then hath it tears? Now the answers given by the Lord himself he said unto them, And enemy have done this.
The servant said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay, bless, when he gather up the tares, he root up also the wheat with them.
Let both grow together until the harvest and in the time of harvest.
I will say to the readers, gather you together first the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my body.
How wonderful is the picture here of what has happened in Christmas in the Kingdom of Pat.
First of all, we confess as men we went to sleep.
Like Goodyear.
The only charge I know against you because is that he went to sleep.
There are other charges against me, perhaps against you.
But we need to be alert.
To the operation of the truth, the Holy Spirit, under the operation of the Spirit of error that sows this seed.
But when it's introduced, you know it's, it's not committed to the disciples to eliminate, to separate, neither is it for us to do that too.
In Bolivia about 6-7 eight years ago.
Went to Bob Tony across the.
Solar, that is the salt sea. It's only a sea for about a month a year with water about 6 inches deep. The rest of the year is dry and it's flat as this floor, as pure soil, something like 100 miles across that salar.
On the other side of epsilon.
Is a town called Geek Double LICA. There are brethren there.
It's an old place.
There are several meetings over there.
The brethren there are the poorest of any of the brethren all the world that I have ever seen they are.
But their dear brethren.
And it's faithful rather than amongst them some that bear witness to the truth.
Of the wheat.
They are weak.
But there is the big system.
I want to say this in love and carefully.
That possibly.
The first imitation.
Towards Radio came out in the Roman Catholic Church little by little.
And I say this because.
Of what they did.
Now we went there with a pure gospel.
And we asked if we could preach the gospel in that town that night.
The brethren who were brought up there, a brother named Enrique especially, grew up in Yuka, known to the people there. But we were apprehensive because six weeks before.
Some energetic.
Evangelists. So Connell had gone over there to try to.
00:50:03
Capture the people, take them out of Romanism.
And this is what they did.
And you could walk around town and see.
They had in front of their big edifices.
Biggest honor? They knocked over one or two of those idols.
And then they had to leave town. They were chased out of town.
Nearly killed.
They were not.
They were trying to pull up the tears and.
And leave the wheat. God hasn't given us to do that. Brethren, we have a positive message.
Is the truth about the Lord Jesus Christ?
And we ought to feel for souls who have been captured in any sense by Satan. Now amongst the Roman Catholics, I think there are more Christians, as I thought about, than any other so-called denomination all the world.
You think what you think it doesn't. It isn't important. But I say this in love to because there are real Christians among them. But what did they do in her zeal?
To pull the tears out.
I'll tell you another story about Lima, Peru, and if you get a chance to go to Ming, I recommend you go to this place.
It's called the Museum of the Inquisition, The Holy Inquisition, one of the most unholy things that's ever been done.
And he read missionary stories about the heretics.
And you know what?
Thrown dead for several 100 years, the Inquisition in South America ran from 1520 up until the early 1800s.
The Spanish Inquisition, where they set up a tribunal and hailed in heretics that they called heretics, and some of them so long.
And they tormented them to the extreme under that.
What were they trying to do? They say we're trying to root the tares out. They wouldn't say it that way, but they say we're trying to get heretics.
A heretic is one who forms a party, and a party against the truth of Christ. Rove herself turns out to be somewhat like that. We can't charge her, But this is the error of Rome, to try to root out the tares. So I said don't do it. Let them both go together until the time of the harvest. And then he says.
Gather and I will say to the Reaper we haven't time to go on this perhaps.
Tomorrow night they can take up this theme and go a little further and find out that the reapers are the angels. I like that. It's a wonderful thing to go out and harvest fruits and corn and soybeans like you're doing, and a legitimate and a necessary practice.
That God is telling us Christians who are the children of the Kingdom, don't you try to do that? Don't you try to separate the good from the bad?
The angels are going to do that.
And that's the end of the age. And it's after he gathers a week in demand. That's the last thing we read, and you'll have to stop here. Notice in verse 30.
Gather ye together first the tares and bind them in bundles to burn. Now this is important. This is not the burning, this is ahead of time.
Like we used to gather wheat with a binder and tie it into bundles and set it up to run it through the separator.
They were put in bundles or bundled here and bundled there, and then they put them together and later on you took them to the separation.
There is today the gathering of groups of pairs.
In the bundles again I say it's by anxious.
We cannot see it.
But there are angels serving God at all times. They do this.
And he has sent them here. I think we see it. One of the strongest things of the proof of how near we are in time is this very fact.
150 years ago when brethren wrote about these things, they talked about Mohammed, Nissan and.
00:55:03
Pagan room I'll say as being months now you can go down the list.
From millennial domes and moon to 70th in the whole district that are getting to be big plumbers. The Jehovah Witnesses, one of the marches.
Now these are bundles that are being selected together, tied together.
To burn. But the burning is not going to happen while the wheat's here. This is our consolation. Here's another place in Scripture where we learn that we shall never go through the tribulation, he says. Gather.
The Queen into my heart, Brother Mrs. Who rapes her. We're waiting for it. It could be today we'll sing again.
#194.
May the Saviors love and merit fill our hearts, both night and day, and the action of His Spirit.
All our thoughts and actions way we have a positive thing, not a negative thing. Maybe thus in Lord and fighting and from self dependence free we can't separate the terror from the fleet.
Or find our rest in Christ divided till with joy in South and sea. That's the rapture. Some brothers start this force. 194 please.
May the Savior.
Fall behind the world.
