Satan’s Eden no 55

Twins pt 4 – Source pt 1 Genesis 1:11

July 3^rd, 2022 PM

Brian Kocourek, Pastor

This evening we will go further into the study of Twins, and specifically we shall focus our attention on the topic of SOURCE.

Now, as you may recall from last week we spoke on Definitions, where we defined “Twins” as; "two having been born at the same time, and having the same mother".

It is not necessarily that they have the same father to be twins, but they must have the same mother. There are cases on record where twins were born of two different fathers. A case in point was a woman from Beaumont Texas during the 1960's who gave birth to a black child and a white child.

From the Church Age book we find brother Branham point out the following. "Recently worldwide coverage was given to a Norwegian mother who was suing her husband for support for herself and her twins, one of which was white and the other black. She admitted that she had a Negro lover. The two conceptions were about three weeks apart.”

“In Beaumont, Texas, in 1963, the records again set forth a multiple birth wherein pregnancies were many days apart, in fact so much so that the woman almost died along with one child in childbirth.”

Now every Bible student knows that in Scripture, a woman always represents the church, whether that church is a whore, harlot or a bride, she is still represented by a woman. Idolatry is always compared to and referred to as a people committing adultery.

And so, the twins we will speak of in this study will refer to the twins that are given birth by the same mother, revival, movement or church. Twins always speaks of two, and only two. Twins does not speak of three for that would be triplets, four is quadruplets, and five is quintuplets. Therefore concerning the doctrine of Twins we will be dealing with two. Not one, not three, two. And this two that we are dealing with in this study are the two different types of believers who are both given birth in every revival.

William Branham taught us in his sermon Hearing, Receiving and acting 60-0607  E-16 So we find out, that in every revival that's ever been borned in the world, it produces twins. That's right. Every revival has twins. They have a bunch in there that's carnal believers and a bunch of spiritual believers. Every revival produces that: an Esau and Jacob. And as they go along, first thing you know, the carnal begins to think, "Well, these guys are getting off of the deep end. I better separate myself from them." They go back to the intellectual part. They want a pastor that'll speak to them of pleasant things. They don't want that Spirit-filled pastor, that'll obey the Holy Spirit from the platform, just preach the Word just like It is. As John said, "Lay the axe to the root of the tree and let the chips fall where it will." Most of the churches today will vote that out of their pulpit. That's right. It'll come a separation, always does that. It did it in the Methodist age; it did it in the Baptist age; it did it in the Pentecostal age; it'll do it in every age.

Ephesian Church Age 60-1205 113    Now, as I said to begin, 'fore we start off on this again, every revival produces a pair of twins. One is a spiritual man; the other one is a natural man of the earth, "I joined the church; I'm just as good as anybody." And that's what this revival produced. That's what, every revival. That's what Luther's produced; that's what Irenaeaus' produced; that's what Saint Martin's produced; that's what Columba's produced; that's what Wesley's produced; and that's what Pentecost produced. Just exactly. You see how they've gone to seed,

Ephesian Church Age  60-1205   153    Now, remember, each church has its formals and each church has its spirituals. That's the twins that's born in every revival and lives in every church. They started it right in this age and it ends up in this age. And finally, the formals took it over in the Thyatira age, and Luther pulled it back out again. And now it's swinging right back in again. Can you see that formal religion? There's no difference between that and Catholicism. It's all the same thing. Every organization's butchered right into it. God never did organize His church. That's exactly what they was trying to do here. And you watch and see now if that isn't right, just show you how cursed an organization is. It was--it was foreign to the new church, the New Testament church. See?

Blind Bartimaeus 61-0124   E-49 Every revival produces twins. The two sons of Jacob, or Isaac is well represented. Every time there's a revival, there's a Esau born and a Jacob born. One religious man of the world gets starchy, and takes some seminary experience; and the other one wants that birthright regardless of how he has to get it. If he has to be a holy-roller, or anything else, he wants the birthright, I don't care.  That's what's the matter with the people today. They're afraid of that birthright. Oh, how that they hate that. But it produces twins. The men of the world, very religious inclined, do good alms and things, but cares nothing about the birthright... Those two great factions has been fighting since the world begin. And they're about ready to come to a head right now, where something that Jesus said, "they'd be so close alike they'd deceive the very elected if it was possible." It's true. You see what a deceiving hour that we're living in.  Stay with the Word, brother. Don't leave that Word. That's right. The Word will speak for Itself.

The main thread that ties all these quotes together is that in each one, Brother Branham tells us "every revival produces twins."  Therefore, we can conclude by this that every time there is a revival, and a church formed it produces two different types of Believer; A True genuine believer, and a false believer or make believer.

Scripture wise, we can show this phenomenon took place on earth as far back as the time of Cain and Abel, who both presented sacrifice God. God received one and rejected the other.

In dealing with Source we need to go back into the Book of beginnings, which is Genesis. The Word Genesis comes from the root word “genus”, which speaks of “birth, source, origin, lineage or generation”.  Therefore the book of Genesis is the Seed Book in the Bible. This being so, then it must follow that every seed that will ever come forth must be found in this Book. For it is the Book of Seeds.

Now, a seed is by definition a carrier of life. Therefore, the Book of Genesis, being the Seed-Book, must also be the Book of Seed-Life, or shall we say the Book of Life. Therefore, we must go back into this Book of Life, This Book of Seed-Life, in order to find out more about Source in understanding this Bible Doctrine of TWINS.

Since we are examining the source of the two seeds found in the Book of Seeds, (Genesis), it will be here also that we shall find the law which God placed that will govern the reproduction of these two forms of seed life.

Genesis 1:11  And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.  12 And the earth brought forth grass, [and] herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Now, the first point we must make is this. At this initial point, in the history of this earth, God set forth, or planted in the ground, one of every kind of life form that will ever live on earth. He also set forth a law in order for that life form to be able to regenerate itself. In each life form, God placed a mechanism called seed-life, to bring forth others in the same image and with the same nature.  When the Scripture says every seed will bring forth after it's kind, the word kind means nature. Therefore we have a clue as to the identity of these two sources by examining their nature, which will tell us what form of life they are, and who their source of regeneration is.

Therefore we want to find out where the life forms of these two specific seed life come from since they are of such a nature that every revival must bring them forth.  We must then find out when the first revival took place that produced the first set of twins?  For if he said, every revival has always produced twins then, then we must be able to trace back the two seed-life forms back to their origin.

Now, to understand this we must understand what the word revival means. The word revival is used in reference to a stirring up of those who have been indifferent in the faith, and bringing them back into a meaningful and useful life. The word revival also refers to a bringing back to life or a bringing back into use. And therefore it deals with life, or an infusion of life.

Therefore we can say that when a woman brings forth children there is a life coming forth and a revival in that woman to produce life once again. Therefore, to type a woman with the church is very fitting indeed, especially in the case of child bearing or revival.

Now, the question remains, where did these first set of earthly twins, Cain and Abel come from.

69-2 Ephesian Church Age  - Chapter 3 Now let us be very careful that we are not confused at this point. Thus we will seek the Word to validate this claim. Let us go back to the Book of the beginning, Genesis. In the Garden of Eden there were TWO trees. One was good; one was evil. One produced LIFE, the other produced Death. There were two children who originally offered sacrifices to God. Let me repeat that, they BOTH offered sacrifices to God. Genesis 4:3-5, "And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering He had not respect..." But one (Cain) was evil, being of his father (that Wicked One), while Abel was righteous before the Lord. Again, there were two children from the flesh of the same parents. They were the twins of Isaac and Rebekah. One was the elect of God and the other was reprobate. Both worshipped God. In every single case there was worship of God involved. In every case the evil hated the righteous and persecuted the righteous. In some cases the evil destroyed the righteous. But notice. They were planted together. They lived together. They both made claims upon God and worshipped God.

Now, brother Branham points out here that Cain came from a different source than Abel. This is in fact is true and can be attested by what each manifested in his life.

We see in I John 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him, Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

This declaration is very important for us to understand if we are to believe the Bible Doctrine of TWINS. For, the Scripture is given to us to establish Doctrine which will fortify us in our walk with God.

II TIMOTHY 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, (it is God breathed) and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Notice that John said “Cain was of the wicked one”. Therefore he could not have been from Adam, for Adam was a son of God. Therefore we must be able to see that Cain manifested something in him that was not manifested by Adam or Adam's children. We then need to look into the source of Cain's manifestation to identify his nature and thus his source.

Now, both of these children were religious, and we can in fact find out that all the way down through the ages both twins were always religious, we must then ask ourselves this question, "If every seed must come forth after its kind, or nature, then it must stand to reason that the source of the two different seeds were in themselves both religious.

Jesus Himself makes this distinction in John 8:38 ¶I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. (Genesis 1:11 the law or reproduction is that every seed must bring forth after its own nature) 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. 41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; (we are not serpent seed) we have one Father, even God. 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.

44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.  (Now, watch what Jesus says next). 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. 46  ¶  Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47    He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.

We see here that Jesus brought these men back to their origin by identifying their behavior with the source of that behavior. 

Again we see in Matthew 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead [men's] bones, and of all uncleanness. 28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

The word Jesus used here when He said, Fill ye up the measure of your fathers, is a Greek word “pleroo”, which means; to carry into effect, or bring forth into realization or manifestation.  And what are the things Jesus is speaking of being brought into realization? It is the measure of their fathers, which is a Greek word “metron”, which means; “the rule or standard of judgment”. Therefore Jesus is saying, "bring forth into realization and carry  into effect the standard of judgment that your fathers used."  He said, “you make out like you love the prophets by polishing up their tombs, but you are the children of those who put them in their.” 

Notice also that Jesus tells them that inwardly they are full of iniquity. This further speaks of their source, and in these words we have the necessary clue to find the source for these men.

Now, to trace back this nature we must go back to the first bringing forth of Life. For we know that God is a Father, and the life is in the male.  In the next few verses of scripture we will see how that God, who is the Word, is the great fountain of Life.

John 1:1  ¶  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God…. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

John 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

Palms 36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

21-129 Hebrews Chapter 57-0821 "This Great Fountain of Spirit which had no beginning or no end. This Great Spirit began to form in the creation, and the Logos that went out from It was the Son of God. It was the only visible form that the Spirit had. And It was a theophany, which means a body, and the body was like a man.

I John 1:1  ¶  That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;  2    (For the life was manifested, and we have seen [it], and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3  That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and they are life.

Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

I Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.

Mark 4:14  The sower soweth the word.

But where did the life form come from that kills and lies and shows forth a standard of judgment that is wicked and evil?

Now, Jesus Himself then called them serpent seed. But even before the serpent, we find the source of iniquity actually up I heaven in an arch angel called Lucifer.

Ezekiel 28:12 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum,  full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone [was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14  Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15  Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou was created, till iniquity was found in thee.

Let's stop here for a moment and break down the attributes of this created being.

Then we read, “Thou sealest up the sum”… This word “sealest” is from the Hebrew word “chattham” meaning “to affix a seal.” Brother Branham said the seal could not be placed on the door of the train car until the car was full. Therefore when it says, “he filled up the sum”. The word “sum” is taken from the Hebrew word “tokniyth” which comes from the root word, To'-ken, which Hebrew word means “the pattern”.

Then we continue reading that he was “full of wisdom” “full” the Hebrew word is “maw-lay” which means “fullness”…. And the Hebrew word for Wisdom comes from Hebrew word chokmah hok-mah, wisdom in administration, and comes from the root word chakam hawk-ham meaning to teach wisdom. So we can see here that Lucifer was not only a leader in the administration of worship but he was also a leading teacher in heaven.

Seal of The Anti-Christ 55-0311  E-18 The right hand man of Almighty God was Lucifer, the son of the morning. The first, God granted him almost co-workers with Him; he was a co-worker, partly equal with Him; only Satan could not create. God is the only Creator, but Satan took something that God created and perverted it back into something else, evil. And now notice, when Cain and Abel, a very beautiful picture of it... Cain and Abel was nothing more than the prefigure of Judas and Jesus.

Marriage and Divorce 65-0221M 17-5 Did you know Satan was coequal with God one day? Sure was, all but a creator; he was everything, stood at the right hand of God in the heavens, a great leading cherubim.

God’s Servant Job 55-0223   E-12 As soon as Satan... You know the old--the argument is: why couldn't God have by-passed all this, and not had any of it? But God putting Satan almost coequal with Him, Satan taking the things of God and perverted them into the evil thoughts, and through there began to pervert things into evil instead of good. And God, as soon as the first thing was done, out of His great treasure chest of love, He had a plan of redemption, that quick.

Let Your Light so Shine before men 61-0903  Do you know what caused the first battle in heaven, was when Lucifer set up a greater class of people, got a better class of angels, he thought, big a bigger kingdom, a more brighter, shinier kingdom than Michael had. And he was kicked out of heaven. See where class comes from? Stay away from class. The hungry don't want class; the hungry wants food. Yes, sir.

Christ is the Mystery 63-0728  79-1    Notice, in this last days, Lucifer's doing the same thing. Can you see it? The devil doing the same thing, building up a hybrid church--a hybrid, by hybrid members, hybrid by knowledge instead of the Word, by intellectual men instead of borned again men, building an intellectual kingdom that'll outshine Christ's little bitty flock. See? What is it that did that? 

Fallen angels. The Bible said it was fallen angels who listened to Lucifer instead of Christ, who they once belonged to? Is that right?   

79-2 Now, listen close. Fallen angels, what kind of angels? Luther, Wesley, Catholic, Pentecostal who kept not their first estate like the angels did and has fell into organizations like Lucifer's main hold at Nicaea... And what have they done? Organized a great ecumenical association of ministers to make an image unto the beast, as the Bible said, and building a Christian economy that'll close the doors of this church and others like it. See Lucifer at his work? I'm trying to bring you the threefold revelation or mystery of God. What did they do? sold out to reasonings of wisdom and education like Eve did, fallen angels did. 

79-3 Wesley was a man of God, but what followed him? Fallen angels got into it. What was the angels first? Created beings of God that fell for Lucifer's wisdom, fell for Lucifer's wisdom. And you see what they become? Fallen angels. And organizations from man of God who's went forth to establish truths in the earth, before that truth could go along and proclaim and get on to the real revelation of Christ, fallen angels come in and took it over and made denominations out of it. That's the reason the revelation of the Seven Seal mystery had to be unfolded. Now, you see it? What they left off... If Luther would've went on, it'd been here. If Wesley would've went on, if Pentecost would've went on, what would they'd done?

Notice he mentions Luther Wesley and Pentecost and says the same thing about all three. They fell short and organized. Then don’t think they haven’t organized this Message. Br. Branham wasn’t in the grave a year when four so called big shots divided up the world for themselves. They called br. Vayle and said, Br. So and So will take the West, Br. So and So will take the South West, and br. So and So will take New Zealand and Australia, and Brother so and So will take Europe., So we four decided that you br. Vayle should take the Eastern U.S. And brother Vayle said, you can go to hell with your schemes, who do you think you are Lording over God’s heritage.” That is why they hated him. He told them Gospel Truth. So they denominated this message into so many camps that it is not longer pure in their camps. And we were told to come out of the camps.

Going beyond the camp 64-0719E P:52 Look what the prophet said, Amos, when he come into Samaria. And his little eyes narrowed as he come up over that and seen that sinful city, women laying in the street with men: a modern America... When he looked up over, his eyes narrowed. And he had nobody to sponsor him; he had no fellowship card. God had sent him. Would the people hear his message? No, they wouldn't hear him. But he prophesied, and he said, "The very God that you claim to serve will destroy you." And I say in the Name of Jesus Christ, the very God that... This nation claims to be a religious nation; the very God that they claim to serve will destroy them in their iniquity. It'll destroy every denomination off the face of the earth, what they claim to serve. So notice. He rebuked them, and they put Him out of their camp. Jesus suffered without the camp. They put Him out of the camp, outside, way beyond their camp. We find out that the Bible said in this last day under this Laodicean age they'd do the same thing. They would be put out of the camp.

Then in the same sermon pp. 81 he said, “Lord Jesus, we may be hated by the world, but loved of the Father. Help us, dear God; help these people, that each one of them, Lord, that Thy blessings will rest upon them. Let us go beyond the camp now. Let us go beyond our own thinking. Let us go by the thinking of God. It... The Bible said this: "Let the mind that was in Christ be in you." So let us think His thoughts, not our own thinking, because most the time we're wrong. So to be sure, let His mind rest in us. And His mind was to do the Father's will, and the Father's will is His promised Word. Let us go beyond the camp tonight, Lord, and find Jesus. We'll never find Him by joining the church. We'll never find Him by shaking hands with some minister, or signing some creed, or something that we promise to go to Sunday school so many days out of the year, and so forth. We'll only find Him in the Word, because He is the Word. And as we see this day promised that He'd be outside the camp, put out again, now, let us go beyond the camp, ready to bear His reproach, hated of this world, but loved of the One Who has invited us to the camp. Grant it, Lord.

84 With our heads bowed and our hearts also in this moment, would you just raise your hands and say to God (not to me, I'm just a man), raise your hands to God, say, "God, be merciful to me. I truly want all these things that I've heard about. I want to go beyond the camp. I don't care what anyone says." God bless you. My, at the hands, at the hands. "I want to go without the camp. No matter what it costs me, I'll take my cross and bear it every day. I'll go beyond the camp. No matter what people say about me, I want to follow Him outside the camp. I'm ready to go."

Now, the next Attribute mentioned of Satan, is he was “perfect in beauty” The word perfect translated from the Hebrew word kaw-leel Meaning “entire, whole, complete,”

Only One Way Provided by God V-21 N-2 63-0731  56 I'll say something here, maybe I oughtn't to say, but yet I believe I ought to say it. If you noticed, Lucifer is exactly doing the same thing today that he did at the beginning. See? Lucifer, at the beginning, wanted to build himself a kingdom which was greater and more beautiful than Michael's Kingdom, Christ. He want... That was his ambitions to achieve something like that. And what did he get to do it by? He took fallen angels who had lost their first estate. He took that to do it with. And today Lucifer has got into the church, and taken away the Word, and injected denominations, and he's building a church, the ecumenical move that's going on now, to unite all the Protestants together, and altogether come into Catholic. And this pope they got in now, to do the same thing, exactly what the Scripture said it would do. And what's he doing it by? He's doing it by men of those great ecumenical moves, who does not know God; and the many of them in the Pentecostals, 'cause they're doing the same. What is it? He's doing it with fallen angels, fallen Lutherans, fallen Methodists, fallen Pentecostals, that lost their original estate from the Word of God, and going right back in to make a great big ecumenical move. Fallen messengers, messengers who once stayed with the Word, but sold out their birthrights and joined in with the world... The same thing, it's at the last day. And their Lucifer is achieving today by men with those spirits in them, that he did with angels at the beginning, fallen angels who kept not their first estate to obey God. And he's doing the same thing today.

God of This Evil Age 65-0801M  79 He thought God dwelled in worldly beauty. He did that in heaven. Sin never begin in the garden of Eden; it begin in heaven when Lucifer, the son of the morning, exalted himself in beauty and wanted a more beautiful kingdom than that of Michael. And he thought that God dwelled in beauty. And notice Cain. He didn't want no blood sacrifice. He come down and offered the fruit or the fields of beauty upon his altar. Very religious, done everything just exactly like Abel done, offered a sacrifice, fell down before God in worship, obedient in every way, but without the revelation of the Word. And the Word was from the beginning, God's plan. But God revealed by revelation the very thing that He vindicated and punctuated that that was right: not religion, not an altar, not belonging to church, not making a sacrifice, not being sincere, but by the revelation of the Word of God, God revealing to him what, that his mother did not take a apple that a snake give her, but she had a sexual affair with the person of Satan in the form of the beast, not a reptile, but the most smartest, subtlest of all the field, the image of man, only thing that the seed would mix in. Now, science is trying to find him. And they never will find him, because every bone in his body's changed. But the Bible declares it to be so.

Notice God continues to say, “Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth”  He was the anointed or consecrated cherub that covereth, the Hebrew word there is cakak which means “to overshadow” or to “lay over as though to cover”….

And guess what? God says, “and I have set thee so”… Therefore, God made Satan this way for a purpose. God created him to bring forth the fall. God created him to lead in the worship with Michael and he made him that he would fall. And he led by teaching, and his teaching led others into the error of his ways.

Serpent Seed 58-0928E 13-5 Which is the strongest, as I said, the Saviour or sinner? Which has got the most strength? Then the stronger had to permit the lesser. And He only does it for His glory. When He made Lucifer, He knowed he would be the devil. And He had to let it be there to show that He was the Saviour, the Christ. He had to let it happen that way. Now, don't the Bible say all things work together for good to them that love God? So what are you scared about?

“Thou was perfect in all thy ways,” He was made complete, whole, entire, sound, finished off, in all thy course of life, Until iniquity was found in thee   Now this word iniquity is a Hebrew Word (e'vel) which actually means unrighteous, or un-rightly-wise. To act wrongfully or deviate from.  So we find that this one deviated from the truth, and he is the progenitor of all those who do deviate from the truth.

Jesus tells us how these two forms of life came to be that they would grow up side by side with one another in his parable of the wheat and tares. We will examine this parable in depth in the Chapter on Seed.

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:  (Good seed is the word of God. And the Spoken Word is the Original Seed) Do you get it? 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

So this is a tale of two preachers, The Son of Man, a God sent prophet who went sowing in the field first. And the after him preachers came into the same field and sowed wrong seed. That is 2 Peter 2, and that is Jude, and we’ve covered that so far in our mini-series on Twins, so we don’t have time tonight to re-preach all those scriptures. But he comes into the same field, sows a discordant Word which does not line up with what the Prophet and Bible taught. He sows a different seed, the Bible calls tares. The Son of man sows the Word of God, and the other fellow, the false prophet or false teacher comes behind him and sows false doctrine.

Now notice the true one, the son of man, sows first true seed, true word, so he is a preacher or righteousness. But Satan comes behind him into the same field and sows false doctrine, false seed. Mans creeds and dogmas.

Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

Matthew 13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Matthew 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart.(heart means understanding) This is he which received seed by the way side.

Recognizing your day 64-0726M P:90 Now, He's promised to send you heavenly Light to ripen the Word Seed that would be sown for this day. The Seed is in here. The Seed is the Bible. Why? Jesus said so: "The Word is the Seed that a Sower sowed." And now, before you can have any crop, no matter if you sow the seed, it's got to have light to ripen that seed, or it'll rot and won't do no good; it'll perish. But if it's got seed in the ground, the right ground with the right kind of a sunlight on it, it's got to ripen. And He promised that in the last days, in the evening time the Sun would come out to ripen that Seed. The Seed is being preached. The Son of God is ripening that Seed by vindicating It, making It push out before you, and proving that It's right. Do you get it? Recognize your day. I'm closing now. It's time now to close.

Queen of Sheba 61-0219 P:33 commission was "Go into the all the world and preach the Gospel." Preaching the Gospel was to demonstrate the power. It had to be. What's the next verse say? "And these signs shall follow them that believe." The manifestations are, the demonstrations are the works out of the Word made positive. When the Word is preached, signs of the Word confirms the Word to be true. If it doesn't, it doesn't come from the heart of faith. It doesn't anchor in the heart of faith. Did not Jesus say that some sowed seeds and when it did it fell by the wayside and the birds gathered it? Some went in stony ground and riches of the earth choked them out, like briers and so forth. And didn't He say some went over and brought forth a hundredfold? See, you must first let the Word fall in the right type of faith.

then that faith produces what the Word said, because the Word is a Seed. The Word of God, right here, is a Seed that a sower sows. And every seed will produce its kind if it's put in the right atmospheres and the right condition.

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? (didst not thou sow good Word 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, No; 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.

But the question was “who planted those tares?” Who planted that false Word that produced a bunch of church people who do not understand the Message that was planted by the son of man? and What is their source. We find our answer also in Jesus breaking down the parable later on in the chapter.

Matthew 13:36  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. 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; 39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil;

Brother Branham further enlightens us on this parable in the 70-1 Ephesian Church Age Book CPT.3  These illustrations depict perfectly the parable of the Lord Jesus Christ when He said that the kingdom of heaven was like unto a man who sowed good seed, only to have an enemy come and plant tares amongst those good seeds. God did not plant the tares. Satan planted those tares right amongst the good seed of God. Those two kinds of plants (people), from two different seeds, grew up together. They partook of the nourishment in the same earth, they shared in the same sun, rain, and all other benefits, and both were harvested in their turn. Do you see it? Don't ever forget these truths as we study the church ages and later the seals. And above all, don't forget that it is in this last age, when the tares are getting bound for their burning, that they will shove out the wheat that is to be garnered by the Lord.

Let us pray
