<p>''Er'' means ''awake'' and the verse says he was ''called Er'' or ''called awake''. Awake is the opposite of asleep. Asleep is used to say that someone is dead. And when you are dead you return to the dust. So Er was called Awake, or he was 'called alive from the dust' confirming that he represents Adam. The story goes on to say that he was killed because of sin, as was Adam.</p>
<p>In the story, he was made to be flesh from the dust. Paul further clarifies the riddle saying that he had a thorn in the flesh ([[2Co 12:7]]), confirming that the flesh itself is the thorn and crying Paul cried out...</p>

The second word from Ge 3 is [[דרדר]] whose root is [[דר]] meaning ''generation''. Since it is repeated the weed is a generation in the flesh and the spirit. Therefor in the parable we have that the weeds are the flesh and a wicked generation. These are the things which opposed Christ. ([[Mt 16:4]])
The enemy sowed at night which, as before, is a time of grace. Though there was wickedness and sin, God did not destroy them. He allowed, within each person, a sinful flesh to grow with a faithful spirit, in the same manner that we each are goat and sheep, and old man and a new man. He also let the wicked generation grow with the faithful generation.
The final lesson is that we are not to be the judges. On may look like a goat, but in the end God has purified the sheep. One may look like he is part of the wicked generation, as did the thief on the cross who mocked Jesus, but while he hung there repented and acknowledged Jesus as he asked Jesus to remember him when he came into his kingdom. ([[Lu 23:42]])
