'Darnel' in the Bible

but during the night his enemy comes, and over the first seed he sows darnel among the wheat, and goes away.

But when the blade shoots up and the grain is formed, then appears the darnel also.

"So the farmer's men come and ask him, "'Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed on your land? Where then does the darnel come from?'

"'No,' he replied, 'for fear that while collecting the darnel you should at the same time root up the wheat with it.

Leave both to grow together until the harvest, and at harvest-time I will direct the reapers, Collect the darnel first, and make it up into bundles to burn it, but bring all the wheat into my barn.'"

When He had dismissed the people and had returned to the house, His disciples came to Him with the request, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel sown in the field."

the field is the world; the good seed--these are the sons of the Kingdom; the darnel, the sons of the Evil one.

The enemy who sows the darnel is *the Devil*; the harvest is the Close of the Age; the reapers are the angels.

As then the darnel is collected together and burnt up with fire, so will it be at the Close of the Age.
