2 Thess 2: Read All. He willeth them to continue stedfast in the truth received, 3 sheweth that there will be a departure from the faith, 9 and a discovery of antichrist, before the day of the Lord come. 15 And thereupon repeateth his former exhortation, and prayeth for them. Rev.11:15: And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The Kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. The time when all the kingdoms of this world which now belong to Satan… Luke 4: The temptation of Christ. 13 He overcometh the devil: 14 beginneth to preach. 16 The people of Nazareth admire his gracious words. 33He cureth one possessed of a devil, 38 Peter’s mother in law, 40 and divers other sick persons. 41 The devil’s acknowledge Christ, and are reproved for it. 43 He preacheth through the cities. …will be claimed by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; the KING of kings and LORD of lords. Romans 16:20; And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, Amen. Isaiah 53:5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Rev.11:15: And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying; The Kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever.
Matt 13:24 Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
The 'man which sowed good seed in his field' is Christ, that seed being sown at the beginning of this earth age, including the races of 'mankind' (Hebrew 'adam' without the article in Gen.1:26). That 'seed' also includes the 'Seed' of the woman in Genesis 3:15, the Seed from which Christ would be born from.
The 'enemy' here, who sowed 'tares' among the good wheat, is the 'devil' (hang on; Jesus will confirm this later here dealing with this parable).
