God employs the imagery of seed to symbolize the spreading of truth throughout human history, a process akin to a farmer sowing seeds in a field. Unlike a human farmer, God has been scattering these seeds of truth across all ages, using preachers like Noah, the prophets, the apostles, and even His own Son, Jesus Christ, to plant them in the minds of humanity. Though many of these seeds remain dormant, not yet watered by His Spirit, they hold the potential to grow when the time is right. Just as ancient seeds discovered by archaeologists can still sprout after thousands of years when given water, so too will the spiritual seeds of truth awaken when God chooses to apply His Spirit. God continues to plant seeds of truth even now, preparing the soil of human minds by breaking it up and allowing these seeds to be deposited. Though it may seem that He is not calling many at present, He is still sowing, perhaps for a future time such as the Tribulation, the Millennium, or the Great White Throne Judgment, when these seeds will finally germinate and grow. Nearly all the seeds scattered through the ages have not yet been watered, but a future period is coming when the Holy Spirit will be readily available to all, awakening these long-dormant seeds to produce the final crop of God's spiritual harvest. The church plays a vital role in this process by publishing truth and encouraging belief, scattering seeds through preaching the gospel to the world. However, the church cannot open a single mind on its own; it must focus on those whom God is already watering with His Spirit while continuing to sow seeds for future harvests. Every follower of God is also called to plant seeds through their conduct, attitude, and character, demonstrating a way of life that transcends the world, even without speaking a word about religion. If closely connected to God, they will sow seeds that He can water in the right season, contributing to His epic harvest.

God's creation operates within cycles and seasons, reflecting His purpose and plan. Just as a farmer plants and harvests at specific times, God also plants seeds of belief and spiritual truth. He imparts understanding to enable those who receive His truth to succeed in the spiritual process that Jesus Christ completed. This process reveals what God is harvesting: children in His image. He prepares the soil, scatters the seed through His human servants, waters it with the Holy Spirit, and tends to its growth. The church plays a vital role in this, promoting belief and providing a conducive environment for the seed to mature. While the work of God is to foster belief, not all will believe at the same time, as the holy days reveal distinct harvests at appointed times.
