[1] Figurative Seed: the Word

⏵The importance of the figurative seed

■  Mk 4:13 The parable of the seed: the basis of all the parables.

Mk 4:14 The farmer sows the Word

1 Pet 1:23 Imperishable seed = The living and enduring Word of God

Born again through the Word of the seed.

∴ True meaning of the figurative seed = The word.

▮ Why is the Word figuratively described as the seed? (Jn 1:1-4) (Like there is life in the physical seed) There is also life within the spiritual seed, the Word.

2) Types of figurative seeds

⏵ Types of physical seeds: countless
⏵ Types of spiritual seeds: God’s seed (God’s Word) and Satan’s seed (Satan’s word).
(As there are two kinds of spirits → there are also two kinds of spiritual seeds.)

3) The importance of the figurative seed

Whichever seed I am born with determines if I am god’s child (heaven) or the devil’s child (hell).

Mt 13:24-25, 37-39

Jer 31:27 (prophecy)	The seed of man	The seed of beast
Mt 13:24-25 (fulfillment)	Good seed	Weeds
	= God’s seed	= Satan’s seed
	= God’s Word (truth)	Satan’s word (lies)
Mt 13:37-39	The sons of the kingdom	The sons of the evil one
1 Jn 3:9-10	Children of God	Children of the devil

⏵ The result of being born of two seeds: become the children of God and the children of the devil (1 Jn 3:9-10)

∴ Seed = the secrets of heaven.
