TARES

A field of wheat mixed with poisonous weeds that look identical to the good grain — Evil ones and children of darkness disguised among believers; deceptive workers in God's kingdom

Matthew 13:24-30, Matthew 13:36-43

Tares being separated from wheat during harvest time by reapers — Final judgment when the righteous are separated from the wicked; God's eventual removal of evildoers

Matthew 13:24-30, Matthew 13:36-43

A farmer discovering enemy-sown weeds growing among his carefully planted crops — Deceptive infiltration of falsehood and wickedness into communities of faith; Satan's work of corruption

Matthew 13:24-30, Matthew 13:36-43

Dreaming of tares appearing as degenerates or morally corrupted individuals within a group — Represents the presence of spiritually fallen or morally debased persons who have deteriorated in character and righteousness; those who have become corrupted in their nature and practice wickedness among God's people

Matthew 13:38

Seeing tares that masquerade as authentic grain, appearing identical until closely examined — Symbolizes the deceptive nature of false believers who imitate true faith; the difficulty of distinguishing counterfeit spirituality from genuine faith through outward appearance alone, requiring divine discernment

Matthew 13:24-30
