PARABLES A REFLECTION ON THE SEVEN CHURCHES

Greetings Brethren,

Peace be unto you. Hence deaf ears still abound as the scribes continue to call evil up for review. However in the guise of righteousness they reject Truth and hear only man.

Peace and Paradise, Carl Patton a willing servant of Almighty God writing for the FreedomJournal 12 December 2005 in the year of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.

In the name of Almighty God, Master of the universe, Ruler of the earth.

Are there any parallels between the seven Churches as noted in Revelation 2-3 and the seven Parable noted in Matthew 13? What is for certain is that many then and now still do not hear the Word of God. Why? Who will listen?

As we approach this topic as always we are prayerful that God will once more inspire us with the strength and wisdom to record something that those who stay in the Spirit will see and hear.

A Parable can be described as a comparison of two objects for the purpose of teaching. While the word Parable as related to Jesus is most prominent in the New Testament being fount there 46 times, it does occur 15 times in the Old Testament.

Although Christ did not invent the Parable, it is significant that He is the only one who used them in the New Testament. However we do have parabolic instruction throughout the New Testament. Meanwhile it is of note that at one time in His ministry it was His only way of speaking to the masses.

Matthew 13:34. “All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:” (We also refer you to additional scripture regarding this verse found at Mark 4:33-34; John 10:6 and 16:25).

Were the multitudes meant to understand the Parables? Why couldn’t they understand the teaching of Jesus without Parables? Will they listen? How can you understand if you don’t listen?

Meanwhile the Bible is the greatest example of Parables and allegoric material in existence.
