Takeaway:

Jesus gave the key to understanding His parables: the Sower is the Son of Man, the Field is the world, the good seed are the children of the kingdom, and the tares are the children of the wicked one, which is the devil. What children does satan have to sow among brethren? Is it just false teachers or could they also be similar to what happened in Genesis 6? As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man…
