Some people have expressed surprise at the rapid growth of the var�ious
Left-Wing organizations: they are not able to understand how, in a nation with
our history of freedom, justice and opportunity so many could be attracted to
organizations which want to set up a Left-Wing totalitarianism. But to those
who are familiar with their Bibles, this should cause no surprise at all, for
it is the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. There are in the world two basic
types of people: first, those to whom religion and the things of the Spirit
have a deep appeal, and who deeply love liberty, and second, those who are
materialist and power-hungry. These latter are quickly and strongly attracted
to Socialism by its mat�erialism and its concentration of tyrannical power in
the hands of a few Commissars. The division between the two was foretold by
Jesus Christ, Himself in Matthew 13:24-30, 36:43. "Another parable put He
forth unto them, saying "The Kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man
which sowed good seed in his field: but while men slept, his enerny came and
sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung
up and brought forth fruit, there appeared the tares also. So the ser�vants
of the householder aame and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed
in thy field? From whence hath it tares? He said unto them, an enemy hath done
this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them
up? But he said Nay: lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the
wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of
the harvest I will say unto the reapers, Gather ye first the tares and bind
them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.,*** Then
Jesus sent the multi�tude away and went into the house: and His disciples
came unto Him, say�ing, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the
field. He answered and said unto them, 'He that soweth the good seed is the
Son of man; 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 enemy that
sowed them Is the Devil; the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers
are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so
shall it be in the end of this age. The Son of man shall send forth the
angels, and- they shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and
them which do Iniquity, and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there
shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth
in the Kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
God's own household, the Children of the Kingdom, are the good seed,
sown in the world. Their loyalty is never swayed by materialistic, ath�eistic
Socialism, whether you call it New Deal, New Horizons, or just plain
Communism. But living among them are another group to whom the things of the
Spirit have no appeal. During
this age they have grown up together; and in their early growth, it has been
sometimes hard to tell them apart. But the time of the harvest approaches:
that is the end of this age, and we who study our Bibles know that this time
is near. In the harvest, the Good Seed and the bad, the Children of the
Kingdom and the children of the Wicked One, will be separated. Note that the
first part of the harvest consists of this separation, for Jesus Christ said
"Gather ye first the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them".
This takes place before the harvest of the wheat, the-Good Seed. Gathering the
tares into bundles is a very clear and logical simile for gathering the
children of the Wicked One Into groups or organizations: it serves very well
as a means to separate and distinguish between the two families: yes, to
"discriminate" if you please, for God always discriminates be�tween
good and evil, between truth and falsehood, between His own child�ren and the
others. So the gathering of the tares into bundles, or or�ganizations, is
already in progress --- indeed, nearly completed.
This parable was no new approach to the problem: many prophets had
given us warning of this treacherous element in our midst. For example, Isaiah
26:10 says, "Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet will he not learn
righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly and will not
behold the majesty of the Lord." Surely this has been a land of
uprightness, as far as nations go: yet even here, where every favor has been
shown to them, these people have not learned righteousness; and they turn
against us most unjustly. They conspire to destroy the nation which has
sheltered them, given them such freedom and prosperity as they never have
found anywhere else; they seek to crush us into just a conquered province of
the United Nations, like Serbia, to be ruled and plundered by thosse promoting
World Government under the leadership of the United States and Britain.
But God foresaw
this: Psalm 83:1-4 tells it: "Keep not Thou silence, 0 God: hold not Thy
peace, and be not still, 0 God. For 10, Thine enemies make a tumult: and they
that hate Thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against
Thy people, and consulted against Thy hidden ones. THEY HAVE SAID, 'COME, AND
LET US CUT THEM OFF FROM BEING A NATION * * '" All their ambitions, their
ideals and purposes, are completely adverse to us and to all that we hold
dear. But notice that God classifies them as not merely OUR enemies, but HIS
enemies: they are those that hate HIM.
This gathering of the individual tares among us is exactly parallel to
the similar gathering of the "Beast Nations" in this same judgment,
as Jesus Christ prophesied it in Matthew 25:31~34. 41. "When the Son of
man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He
sit upon the throne of His glory: and before Him shall be gathered all
nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth
his sheep from the goats: and He shall set the sheep on His RIGHT hand, but
the goats on the LEFT. Then shall the King say unto them on His RIGHT hand
overcome, ye blessed of My Father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from
the foundation of the world.1 * * Then shall He say also unto them on the LEFT
hand, 'Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire prepared for the devil
and his angels.'" Of course there must be division, separation --- yes,
discrimination, to say it plainly: that is the very purpose for which Jesus
Christ came. In Luke 12-51 Jesus Christ Himself says, "Suppose ye that I
am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay: but rather division.
True to His prophecies, there has been division: the sheep are being
separated from the goats; the tares are being gathered into bun�dles to be
burned, while the wheat, the Good Seed, the Children of the Kingdom, separated
from the tares, will be preserved by God as something precious to Him, and
will "inherit the kingdom prepared for them from the foundation of the
world.
Also true to Jesus Christ's prophecies, the division has come in just
the way He said it would. Remember that the goats, destined to everlasting
fire, were to be placed on the LEFT side, while the sheep were on the RIGHT?
They have already divided in this way. All the various forms and names of
materialistic, atheistic Socialism, New Deal�ism, New Horizons, Communism,
all the variously named bundles of the tar�es, are by their own proclamation
and universal recognition, classified as "to the LEFT of
center"---"on the LEFT hand." Those who recognize that God has
spoken out plainly against this materialism and atheism, tyranny and trampling
all people down to one level, are called "RIGHT wing"---or as the
official Jewish groups say, we are to be called "Extreme right
wing."---just where God said that we would be. Even in our English language, the deep-seated racial instinct
for the truth has shown up. We recognize that the plans of the LEFT-Wing to
destroy our national independence, to reduce us to slavery under the dark
races in a Chinese dominated United Nations, are very SINISTER. You know, of
course, that the word "sinister" means "evil ' corrupt,
base." But it this word "sinister" is derived from the Latin
word meaning "LEFT" or on the LEFT side.
Yes, the gathering of the tares into bundles, the various Leftwing
organizations, shows us how many of them there are; and it gives them the
appearance of dangerously great power. But we who read the Bible and know the
word of God have no reasons for fear and despair. The gathering of the tares is
just a sign that the End of the Age is at hand, the time of our deliverance:
remember that the tares are to be gathered into bundles to be burned in the
everlasting fire; but the wheat, the Good Seed, will be kept by our God as His
own.
