Why are People so Divided?

Jesus gave a parable of the Wheat and Tares. Tares are weeds. Some Bible translations say tares and others say weeds.  Tares when they grow look just like wheat but right before the harvest when the wheat starts to bear fruit, the tares don't produce anything. When the wheat and the tares grow together their roots become intertwined and if you pull up the tares it will uproot the wheat.

Matthew 13
24He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, 25but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. 26So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. 27And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ 28He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ 29But he said, ‘No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. 30Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.

As Jesus says in John 8:44 some of us have God as our Father and some in the world have the devil as their father. Those of us that serve God produce the fruit of the spirit. Galatians 5:22. As time gets close to the harvest (rapture & second coming) we start to see the difference in people. The false Christians and the unsaved are making themselves known in mass numbers. When you watch the news and see the world so increasingly divided it is because the harvest is nearing. We can see more clearly the good crop and the weeds as the harvest is fully maturing.  Take joy in knowing that soon, God will gather us in the harvest. Maranatha!
