Matthew 13:24-43  ……….. 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; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. 

The parable of the Great Harvest is one of the many signs revealing the manner of return of the sons of God into their glorious liberty in the realm of the Spirit. It marks the end of the age of ignorance and the dawning of the realm of the Father.

When man sleeps in mortality, he enters the present age—imagining himself to be a human being living in a realm of time and space, bound by imperfections and limitations. In this lowered state, he perceives himself as an independent creature, separate from God. Thus, he creates his own world, built on conceptual lies and pure illusion, and sits within it as the god of his own creation. This illusionary man is the offspring of the devil—the father of all lies.

Though human existence may be but a dream, many will agree it feels vividly real. Yet this very sense of reality must be overcome as man awakens from his deep slumber. Man’s awakening, the end of the age, and the ministration of angels all move together in divine harmony. To awaken is to return to reality—as the ears are unstopped to hear and the eyes are opened to see.

To the listening ear: listen attentively, and grow in awareness of your true, glorious state in the realm of the Almighty Father. True awareness translates you from one reality to another—from a lower state of being to the highest state, known as the Father.

At the end of this age—symbolic of ignorance of the things of the Father—angels are sent into the harvest fields to reap the good seed. They separate the desirable from the undesirable, gathering the good seed into barns and casting the weeds into the fire.

To “burn up” means to annihilate and bring to nothing. It signifies the end of all human reasoning and knowledge that lead men astray. The wisdom of this age, which has long obscured the true knowledge of the living God, is dissolved as the messengers of God take the center stage.

The angels—interpreted as servants, messengers, or ministers—are couriers of the message of God. When you see a messenger, you perceive a message, and the message reveals the Sender. Through these divine messengers, the true knowledge of the Father is brought to light. The message unveils the realm of God, once perceived only through parables and proverbs. Humanity, having lived in the shadows of these mysteries, has been unable to see or partake of the kingdom of the Father.

The angels—the message of God’s kingdom—bring to light the hidden things of God, enabling men to see the Father plainly. The result is the dissolving of the mortal realm in the eternal fire of His truth. Nothing hidden shall remain concealed. Truly, the Father who was once in secret is revealed as His message floods the earth. All shall see Him, and all flesh shall be dissolved into nothing—leaving only that which has been from the beginning, one with the eternal Spirit.

Those who shine forth as the Sun in the Father’s kingdom are the righteous—the morning stars and sons of God spoken of through the ages. Their origin is in the eternal Spirit, without beginning and without end. They are righteous not by works, but by nature—the nature of the Father. These are the ascended and transfigured ones, standing in the name of Him who inhabits eternity. They live by the only true Name, which is above every other name—the Name of the Father.

Today, I stand at the end—far above the concepts of men of the earth below. I stand in my true, undiluted, celestial nature of the Father.
