NEW TRUTHS AND OLD - Matthew 13:51-52
(51) "Do you understand these things?" Jesus asked them.
"Yes," they answered.
(52) so he replied, "This means then, That every teacher
of the law who becomes a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven
is like the owner of a house who takes new and old things
out of his storeroom."
---------------------------------------------------------------
What did Jesus mean when he said these words to his disciples?
He appears to be testing their understanding of his teaching.
As mentioned in previous blogs, Jesus used parables when
teaching and these parables held hidden meanings.
The teachings of Jesus are directed to the true-man, the soul.
The soul with ears (an awakened soul) understands that there is
truth to be found within the parables.
And so, What is the meaning of this parable?
------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS A HYPOTHETICAL EXERCISE ONLY AND IS
DESIGNED TO STIMULATE CONVERSATION AND
DEBATE ON THE TEACHINGS OF jESUS.
THERE IS NO CLAIM AS TO ABSOLUTE TRUTH HERE -
JUST AN ATTEMPT TO SHINE A LITTLE LIGHT ON THE
TEACHINGS OF JESUS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Firstly, What must be considered here is that Jesus is speaking
to his disciples.
The fact that Jesus is using a parable to confirm to himself that
they understood him, shows that Jesus took nothing for granted.
The disciples were privy as to the real teachings within the
parables because Jesus explained them, to them! He did not explain
them to the people.
There are no hints as to the true meaning of this teaching and an
awakened soul must read between the lines.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Playing the 'WHAT IF' game and changing a noun here and a verb
there, perhaps we can get a better understanding as to the true
meaning of this parable.
WHAT IF - teacher of the law - meant - An awakened soul?
WHAT IF - Disciple - meant - teacher?
WHAT IF - Kingdom of Heaven - meant - Spirit world (God)?
WHAT IF - house - meant - mind?
WHAT IF - storeroom - meant - memory?
WHAT IF - New and old things - meant - Truths and falsehoods?
Then this parable could read as follows;
HYPOTHETICALLY OF COURSE!
Matthew 13:52 'This means, then, that every awakened soul who
becomes a teacher of God's world is like the owner
of a new mind who sweeps it's memory banks of
falsehoods new and old keeping only what is true.'
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The words of Jesus are meant for the soul not the physical man and
not the ego. The soul that you are is the child of God.
Remember always - You do not possess a soul - YOU ARE SOUL!!!

NO ONE KNOWS BUT THE FATHER
Nobody Knows but the Father!
Jesus said: Matthew 24:36-44
(36) "No one knows, however, neither the angels in heaven
nor the Son; the Father alone knows."
(37) "The coming of the Son of Man will be like what
happened in the time of Noah."
(38) "In the days before the flood people ate and drank,
men and women married, up to the very day Noah went
into the boat;
(39) yet they did not realize what was happening until the
flood came and swept them all away. that is how it
will be when the Son of Man comes."
(40) "At that time two men will be working in a field: one
will be taken away, the other will be left behind.
(41) Two women will be at a mill grinding meal: one will
be taken away, the other will be left behind."
(42) "Be on your guard, then, because you do not know what
day your Lord will come."
(43) "If the owner of a house knew the time when the thief
would come, you can be sure that he would stay awake
and not let the thief break into his house."
(44) "So then, you also must always be ready, because the
Son of Man will come at an hour when you are not
expecting him."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
When Jesus spoke to his disciples about the end of the age,
he spoke plainly to them.
Many believers are confused at this time about the end time
and rapture etc.
As believers in Jesus, we must take his word as truth and if
we do so, we need not concern ourselves with predictions or
calculations of men.
Believe in God - Believe in Jesus, our saviour!
Love God, love Jesus, love the Holy Spirit, love your brothers
and sisters of the spirit.
Remembering always - YOU DO NOT POSSESS A SOUL - YOU ARE SOUL!!

THE PARABLE OF THE GROWING SEED
.
The parable of the growing seed
Mark 4:26-29
(26) Jesus went on to say. "The Kingdom of God is like
this: A man scatters seed in his field.
(27) He sleeps at night, is up and about during the day,
and all the while the seeds are sprouting and
growing. Yet he does not know how it happens.
(28) The soil itself makes the plants grow and bear fruit;
First the tender stalk appears, then the ear, and
finally the ear full of corn.
(29) When the corn is ripe, the man starts cutting
it with his sickle, because harvest time has come."
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is a hypothetical exercise only and is designed to
stimulate conversation and debate about the teachings of our
Lord and saviour Jesus, the messiah.
---------------------------------------------------------------
As mentioned in previous blogs, the parables of Jesus
contain hidden meanings directed to the true-man, the soul
that you truly are.
---------------------------------------------------------------
What is the true teaching in the parable of the growing seed?
First thing to do is go to the two parables that Jesus did
explain and look for hints.
For example; in Jesus' explaination of the parable of the
sower, the seeds represent the message as understood by
different minded people. Matthew 13;18-23
In Jesus' explaination of the parable of the weeds in the
field, the field represents the world and the good seeds
represent the people who belong to the Kingdom.
The man who sows the good seeds is the Son of Man and
harvest time is the end of the age Matthew 13:36-43
Now we can approach the parable of the growing seed armed
with a little light as to its true meaning.
---------------------------------------------------------------
An awakened soul may, or may not, perceive this parable as
follows: (HYPOTHETICALLY of course)
Mark 4:26 The Son of Man scatters or plants living souls in
the physical world.
Mark 4:27 Time passes and the living soul matures,
yet unaware of its true self.
Mark 4:28 Hearing the words of the Son of Man despite the
chaos in the physical world, the living soul is reborn, this
time - of the spirit. Awakened now, the living soul begins to
understand its' role as a child of God. It is a gentle and
loving unfolding about the truth of our Heavenly Father.
Mark 4:29 Knowing the truth of the FATHER, and of itself,
through Jesus, the awakened child of God is compelled to
bring as many of his or her brothers and sisters to Jesus as
possible, so they too may be reborn through Jesus. At the end
of the age, only those souls awakened through Jesus will be
harvested for the Kingdom of God.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The words of Jesus are directed to the true-man, the living
soul that you truly are. The true-man is not the flesh! The
true-man is not ego! It is ego that thinks it has a soul, it
does not.
REMEMBER ALWAYS - YOU DO NOT POSSESS A SOUL
- YOU ARE SOUL!!!
