Pamphlet #4489
[42] Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
[43] Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
Jesus now identifies the origin of their family "tree".

My highlighted verses: John 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45  And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
 

[44]Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
It doesn't get any plainer than these words of Jesus Christ. These particular scribes and Pharisees were not who they claimed to be, i.e. they were not children of Abraham, and so by default they could not even be of Judah. They were descendants of Cain, the first son of Satan, the first murderer. It was Cain's offspring, the kenites, who were responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, though Judah has been the one blamed for it.

Note: If you are not familiar with what really transpired in the fig grove in the garden of Eden, then write to us and request the booklet "Genesis (Part 1)".

Now most preachers and ministers and commentaries will try to "spiritualize away" this 44th verse in John 8, and say Christ wasn't talking about "sperma", i.e. seed and offspring. But let me ask you, is there not a group of people who run around today claiming that they are God's chosen people? Are they?

Those Christians who belong to the church of Smyrna know they are not!

Rev. 2:8-9
And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; [9] I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Those Christians who belong to the church of Philadelphia know they are not!
Rev. 3:7-9
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; [8] I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. [9] Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
The question is, "Do you know who they are?" Do you have the eyes to see and the ears to hear what Jesus said in the Parable of the Tares in Matthew 13? You will find at the end of His explanation of that parable that ears to hear are a requirement to understanding it. The multitudes, the majority, do not understand it!

Let's read the Parable of the Tares. But first, let's fully understand that it is not given to everyone to understand this parable. Why? Because in this generation, if a person comes to a full knowledge of the truth and then worships antichrist, Satan, when he comes claiming he is Jesus, they will condemn themselves to the lake of fire. Therefore our Father has allowed the spirit of slumber (Rom. 11) to come upon them so that they do not see, lest they die. Again, why? It is for their protection because He loves His children. If they worship Satan in ignorance they will not be condemned.

Let's document from the very words of Jesus that it is not given to everyone to understand the parable we are about to cover.

Matthew 13:10
And the disciples came, and said unto Him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

[11] He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

Is Jesus playing favorites? God forbid. Again, it is for their protection, it is their cloak of innocence. And now for the Parable of the Tares:

Note: THE FOLLOWING IS A PARABLE. That means that the true meaning requires explanation. And as Jesus just said, it is a mystery, at least to most. Here are the words of Christ:

Matthew 13:24
Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

[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.

Remember the words of Jesus back in verse 11 when you read verse 35 so that you understand that that which is contained in this parable has been kept secret from most since the foundation of the world, even since the garden of Eden.
Matthew 13:34
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

[35] That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

Now watch what happens next. Jesus sends the multitude away, goes into the house, and the disciples come to Him privately and ask Him to explain the Parable of the Tares! AND HE DOES! So this is a private tutoring session for those with "ears to hear". Do you have them? If so, listen up!
[36] Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
Note: THE FOLLOWING IS NOT A PARABLE. It is the very simple explanation of the preceding parable! It means exactly what is said!
[37] He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

[38] The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

The field is the world, the seed are children! Is that complicated?

The good "seed" are the children of God, whom He placed in the garden; but the tares are the children of the wicked one.

Who is the wicked one? Just so there is no doubt, Jesus explains:

[39] The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
The enemy, the sower of the wicked children, is Satan, the devil himself.

Where did the devil sow his wicked seed. In the beginning! In the garden of Eden! Do you remember the words of God following the "sowing" of the "seed", the seduction of Eve (II Cor. 11:3).

Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed;
God placed "enmity" between the "seed" of Satan, the tares, his offspring, his CHILDREN, and the "seed" of the woman, the children of God. Let's hope no one thinks He was talking about "apple seeds".

You now know why Cain is not listed in Adam's genealogy in chapter 5 of Genesis, but has his "own" genealogy in chapter 4! It is really so simple. Christ just explained it in the Parable of the Tares but it remains yet a mystery to most. You see, Cain was NOT Adam's son. He was of his father, the devil! And he was the first murderer! And these scribes and Pharisees are his direct descendants, though they claim to be of Abraham.

Let's continue with Christ's explanation of the parable, the rest of which is just as simple as the previous verses.

Mat. 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

[41] The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

[42] And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

[43] Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Who has ears to hear, let him hear. Think about it!

Jesus now identifies the origin of their family "tree".

[44] Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Christ just explained it in the Parable of the Tares but it remains yet a mystery to most. You see, Cain was NOT Adam's son. He was of his father, the devil! And he was the first murderer! And these scribes and Pharisees are his direct descendants, though they claim to be of Abraham.

Let's continue with Christ's explanation of the parable, the rest of which is just as simple as the previous verses.

Mat. 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

[41] The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

[42] And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

[43] Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Who has ears to hear, let him hear. Think about it!

The scribes and Pharisees tried to tell Jesus that they were descendents of Abraham, by birth. But Jesus knew they were lying and told them the truth, i.e. that they were of their father the devil, and his son Cain the first murderer, and so He also was talking about their birth, i.e. their "seed". In fact in verse 55 of this 8th chapter Jesus will outright call them "liars". He also calls them liars in Rev. 3:9 and blasphemers in Rev. 2:9, because they claim to be of Judah but are NOT!

This is not at all hard to understand for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. You see, Judah has been infiltrated by the sons of Cain, who we documented are the tares in the Parable of the Tares in Matthew 13. They are also referred to as the "bad fig". Jesus Christ, when ask by His disciples in Matthew 24 and Mark 13, what would be the sign of His second advent instructed them to "learn the parable of the fig tree" in order to determine what generation it would be that would not pass away until He returned.

The fig parable begins in the fig grove, in the garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve "covered up" something with fig leaves. Do you remember what they covered? Yes, of course it had to do with nakedness and sex, it was the seed of the wicked one, the mystery of which has been hidden from the multitudes, but understood by those with eyes to see and ears to hear, which again we documented in the Parable of the Tares.

Although there is a great deal more to learn about the parable of the fig, know this: In Jeremiah chapter 24 there are two baskets of figs SET OUT in Judea, i.e. Jerusalem. Jeremiah is then ask by our Father to describe what he sees, to which he replies, "Two baskets of figs! One very good and the other very naughty." You now know that the bad figs are the sons of Cain, i.e. kenites.

Note: The figs, both the good and the bad, were set out in Judea on May 15, 1948. And so it would be this generation, commonly known as the BABY BOOMERS, who will see the BIRTH of the new age, and the return of Jesus Christ. Without a doubt, this is the greatest time to live in the history of mankind!

Let's now return to John chapter 8 where Jesus, having once again convicted the kenites of being liars, turns things around on them and asks them if they can find fault or sin with Him or His teaching of the truth.

John 8:45
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

[46] Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

No, they could not "catch Him" in a lie or even a contradiction. And if you know their conniving type, they tried every angle possible to "get Him".  Imagine the futility and frustration of trying to compete against perfection! (Ask my wife. No, I'm just kidding.)

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
