INTERPRETATION OF IMAGERY
Mat 17:17 Jesus replied, “You unbelieving and perverted generation! How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Mat 17:20 He told them, “Because of your lack of faith. I tell you with certainty, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.
Mustard seeds are round, barley is eye shaped.
Plant the Good Seed
Barley in Israel was the poor mans crop for course bread, Wheat is for fine bread. They look almost identical. Barley can be cooked right off the stalk, wheat must be milled or refined. Barley is harvested in the spring when it is yellow-white, wheat in the fall when it turns golden brown. Barley used mostly for making alcohol, wheat for bread. Barley has a shorter growing spell and tolerates cold better than wheat, so it is preferred in Tibet.
