MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
Matthew 13:34 says, “All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:” “Parabole {par-ab-ol-ay'}” is “parable” in the Greek, meaning, “a proverb, an earthly story with a heavenly meaning, an example by which a doctrine or precept is illustrated. An instructive saying, involving some likeness or comparison and having preceptive or admonitory force, comparison of one thing with another, likeness, similitude.” It is derived from “paraballo {par-ab-al'-lo}”, meaning, “to put one thing by the side of another for the sake of comparison, to compare, liken, to put one's self, betake one's self into a place or to a person.”
Matthew 13:35 says, “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” “Katabole {kat-ab-ol-ay'}” is “foundation” in the Greek, meaning “a throwing or laying down, a) the injection or depositing of the virile semen in the womb, b) of the seed of plants and animals; a founding (laying down a foundation).” It is derived from “kataballo {kat-ab-al'-lo}”, meaning, “to cast down, to put in a lower place.” “Secret” means “to conceal”, and we learn from our Father’s Word as Proverbs 25:2 says, “[It is] the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings [is] to search out a matter.” This passage of Scripture Christ Jesus is teaching us is from Psalms 78:2 which says, “I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old.” Christ translated “old” to “the foundation of the world.” Our Lord taught by utilizing many parables in Matthew – Chapter 13. He taught {1} The Parable of the Sower, {2} The Parable of the Tares, {3} The Parable of the Treasure in the Field, {4} The Parable of the Pearls, {5} The Parable of the Net Cast into the Sea, {6} The Parable of the Mustard Seed, {7} The Parable of the Leaven, and {8} The Parable of the Householder. Christ Jesus’ disciples asked Him why did He teach the multitude with parables [Matthew 13:10].
Matthew 13:11 says, “He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.” Paul explains this Verse by teaching us the following in I Corinthians – Chapter 1. Verse 26 says, “For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:” Verse 27 says, But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;” Verse 28 says, “And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:” Verse 29 says, “That no flesh should glory in his presence.” Your stand against satan’s rebellion in the First or Former Earth Age is what guarantees understanding the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. This Flesh Age we now live in serves as a testing period only, and it is for those who failed our Father in the First or Former Earth Age. All souls are born into this Flesh or Second Earth Age to finally take a stand, and let their yea be yea and their nay, nay, which means you will follow and not rebel against our Father God Almighty or do so in ignorance.
Matthew 13:12 says, “For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.” Our Father has always provided each dispensation of the Ages with a remnant that understood the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whosoever hath is given more abundance because that one studies our Father’s word Precept upon Precept and Line upon Line, or Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. Christ Jesus said in Matthew 18:3, “Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Verse 4 says, “Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” An innocent little child does not question their parent’s instruction; therefore, as children of our Parent, our Father God, we should not question the instruction of His Word and seek to twist His Word with our own private and/or flesh interpretation.
Matthew 13:13 says, “Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.” Christ Jesus said that if you were unable to understand the Parable of the Sower, then you would not understand any of the parables, including the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven [Mark 4:1 – 20]. Humility is the key, which is having no respect of persons with degrees and certificates from man’s universities and colleges, rather recognizing one endowed with the unction of the Holy Spirit of our Father.
Matthew 13:14 says, “And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:” “Esaias” is “Isaiah” the prophet, and this passage that Christ is teaching is Isaiah 6:9 which says, “And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.” Studying and understanding our Father’s Word is the most important ministry that is inspiring to us, edifying to others and pleasing to our Father God. Paul said in I Corinthians 14:1, “Follow after charity, and desire spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy.” We further learn in Proverbs 4:7, “Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”
Matthew 13:15 says, “For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.” Christ Jesus is continuing to teach from Isaiah – Chapter 6. Verse 10 says, “Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.” “Convert {converted}” means, “to return, turn back, come back, or take a stand and show our Father total respect, love, and obedience, to return to a better mind, be restored, be brought back, from that place of following after satan’s rebellion or being lukewarm [no stand at all, either for or against our Father or satan].” Our Father God created each soul for His pleasure, including satan before his fall from our Father God’s love and grace. We should always stand with our Father and never with anything or anyone [satan] created by our Father God.
Matthew 13:16 says, “But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.” Those with eyes to see and ears to hear stood with our Father against satan’s rebellion in the First or Former Earth Age. Paul teaches in Ephesians 1:12, “That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Verse 13 says, “In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,” Verse 14 says, “Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” Therefore, those with eyes to see and ears to hear do not question our Father’s Word, rather, seek a better understanding by a Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse study of His Word of Truth each and every day. Further, as Paul teaches and John reiterates, I John 2:20 says, “But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. Verse 24 says, “Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.” Verse 27 says, “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” Seek out someone with the anointing of our Father, which is the unction from the Holy One. Once you are on the proper path of understanding, the false doctrine of man will not entangle you within the snare of enticing words of man’s wisdom, which is foolishness with our Father God.
Matthew 13:17 says, “For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see [those things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [those things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them].” The prophets and the righteous who do not live in our dispensation of time would not see the age of modern technology. Satellites that transmit image’s from country to country, computers, spacecraft, etc., so the very prophecies that they foretold us about were inconceivable for them to fully comprehend. This is an indicator that the prophets and the righteous were aided by our Father’s Holy Spirit in penning the prophecies that we have seen or will see come to pass in our lifetimes. One of the major events or mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven that the prophets and the righteous desired to see is satan’s disguise as the instead of jesus. They knew of the Parable of the Tares because they co-existed then as they do today. They also understood satan’s overthrow from the Former or First Earth Age known in the Greek as the “katabole.” Remember that “katabole” is derived from “kataballo {kat-ab-al'-lo}”, meaning, “to cast down, to put in a lower place.” This is exactly what happened to satan after his overthrow in the First Earth Age. The prophet Ezekiel teaches us that satan went from the status of a king to that of a prince because of his rebellion against our Father God [Ezekiel – Chapter 28]. This is a mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven that the many called do not understand, but the chosen are blessed by our Father to comprehend. Why then are some called and other’s chosen? Paul teaches us why in his epistle to the Romans as follows.
Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.” In the First Earth Age when satan rebelled against our Father, the chosen were those who stood against satan’s folly. There are many, many pulpit gurus who say they were called, by their local phone company perhaps, in this Flesh or Second Earth Age who either took no stand at all or were persuaded to follow satan’s disobedience against our Father, and because of this defiance, were certainly not chosen to teach or lead Father’s children as we live today. Therefore, those who love Almighty God are the chosen children because they stood with our Father against satan’s rebellion and are living in this Flesh or Second Earth Age for the purpose of preaching the Gospel of Truth or the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. Isaiah 52:7 teaches, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!” Verse 8 says, “Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.” The watchmen are those living in this Flesh Age that stood with our Father against satan’s overthrow (katabole) in the First Age.
Romans 8:29 says, “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” “Jesus is Emmanuel”, meaning, “God with us”, as Genesis 1:26 says, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:” Christ Jesus said that if you have seen the Son, then you have also seen the Father. Therefore, Jesus was the exact flesh image of our Father’s Heavenly or Spiritual personification. Verse 27 says “So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Our father did not think Himself too good to be clothed in the same flesh body He fashioned for us [Hebrews – Chapter 2]. Each one of us, like Christ Jesus, is the exact carbon copy of our heavenly selves. Our Lord would further say that flesh is flesh, and spirit is spirit. Therefore, being conformed to the image of Christ also entails being fashioned after His spiritual attributes, which are power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing [Revelation 5:12]. Also, understand that Father said “male and female created He them”, which should dispense any erroneous notion that women cannot preach the Gospel of Father’s Word of Truth. “Foreknow” means, “to have knowledge of the actions of one beforehand because of their actions in the Former or First Earth Age.” Jeremiah 1:4 says, “Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,” Verse 5 says, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Our Father is testifying that He knew each of us born into this Flesh Age before we were “Born From Above {through the womb}.” Father knew us “before” because we co-existed with Him in a prior Age where satan rebelled against our Father and one-third of Father’s children followed after satan’s rebellion, which was overthrown [Revelation – Chapter 12].
Romans 8:30 says, “Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” You can only be called if you are both sanctified and ordained (chosen) before being formed in your mother’s womb, hence from the Former or First Earth Age. Christ Jesus said in John 15:16, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” Verse 27 says, “And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.” “Beginning” as in the sense of when you were first created by Father God, you were with Christ Jesus; from the Former or First Earth Age into this present, Flesh or Second Earth Age.
Romans 8:31 says, “What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?” Paul’s further teachings help us understand this Verse as Romans 9:14 says, “What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? God forbid.” Verse 19 says, “Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?” Verse 20 says, “Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed [it], Why hast thou made me thus?” Verse 21 says, “Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?” Verse 22 says, “[What] if God, willing to shew [his] wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:” Verse 23 says, “And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,” Verse 24 says, “Even us, whom he hath called.” Verse 29 says, “And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.” Our Father God, the LORD of hosts could have destroyed the rebellious children with the First Earth Age itself {spirit}. However, our Father chose that they be saved and enter into this Second Earth Age {flesh} to make the stand they neglected to make against satan’s rebellion from the beginning, or from “afore” as Paul teaches. It can be said that those who stood against satan’s rebellion chose to be sent into this Age of Flesh as Isaiah 6:8 says, “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here [am] I; send me.”
Romans 8:32 says, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” “All things” for Kingdom building are freely and abundantly given including the wisdom to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, if one stood against satan’s rebellion from afore, being the Former or First Earth Age. Our Father loves all of His children, even the rebellious from the Age that was. It is the duty and obligation of those who withstood satan’s rebellion to preach the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven because this is our Father’s will. Luke 17:10 says, “So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.”
Romans 8:33 says, “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? [It is] God that justifieth.” Our Father is always completely just and fair and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Our Father does not play favorites, rather rewards all of His children in accordance to their actions. Those who withstood satan’s rebellion are not better than anyone else, however our Father can count on them in this Flesh or Second Earth Age to withstand satan because they withstood his rebellion from the Former or First Earth Age. Therefore, for you to understand the Parables Christ taught, you must have stood with our Father against satan’s rebellion from the beginning, and remain steadfast even in the midst of the rebellion of this present time.
Christ Jesus taught eight Parables in Matthew – Chapter 13 to help us understand the mystery of the sons of Cain, who are the kenites; kept secret, as satan’s rebellion, from the foundation of this Age.
Matthew 13:35 says, “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” “Katabole {kat-ab-ol-ay'}” is “foundation” in the Greek, meaning “a throwing or laying down, a) the injection or depositing of the virile semen in the womb, b) of the seed of plants and animals; a founding (laying down a foundation).” It is derived from “kataballo {kat-ab-al'-lo}”, meaning, “to cast down, to put in a lower place.” “Secret” means “to conceal”, and we learn from our Father’s Word as Proverbs 25:2 says, “[It is] the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings [is] to search out a matter.” This passage of Scripture Christ Jesus is teaching us is from Psalms 78:2 which says, “I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old.” Christ translated “old” to “the foundation of the world.” Our Lord taught by utilizing many parables in Matthew – Chapter 13. He taught {1} The Parable of the Sower, {2} The Parable of the Tares, {3} The Parable of the Treasure in the Field, {4} The Parable of the Pearls, {5} The Parable of the Net Cast into the Sea, {6} The Parable of the Mustard Seed, {7} The Parable of the Leaven, and {8} The Parable of the Householder. Christ Jesus’ disciples asked Him why did He teach the multitude with parables [Matthew 13:10].
Matthew 13:11 says, “He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.” Paul explains this Verse by teaching us the following in I Corinthians – Chapter 1. Verse 26 says, “For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:” Verse 27 says, But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;” Verse 28 says, “And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:” Verse 29 says, “That no flesh should glory in his presence.” Your stand against satan’s rebellion in the First or Former Earth Age is what guarantees understanding the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. This Flesh Age we now live in serves as a testing period only, and it is for those who failed our Father in the First or Former Earth Age. All souls are born into this Flesh or Second Earth Age to finally take a stand, and let their yea be yea and their nay, nay, which means you will follow and not rebel against our Father God Almighty or do so in ignorance.
Matthew 13:12 says, “For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.” Our Father has always provided each dispensation of the Ages with a remnant that understood the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whosoever hath is given more abundance because that one studies our Father’s word Precept upon Precept and Line upon Line, or Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. Christ Jesus said in Matthew 18:3, “Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Verse 4 says, “Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” An innocent little child does not question their parent’s instruction; therefore, as children of our Parent, our Father God, we should not question the instruction of His Word and seek to twist His Word with our own private and/or flesh interpretation.
Matthew 13:13 says, “Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.” Christ Jesus said that if you were unable to understand the Parable of the Sower, then you would not understand any of the parables, including the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven [Mark 4:1 – 20]. Humility is the key, which is having no respect of persons with degrees and certificates from man’s universities and colleges, rather recognizing one endowed with the unction of the Holy Spirit of our Father.
Matthew 13:14 says, “And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:” “Esaias” is “Isaiah” the prophet, and this passage that Christ is teaching is Isaiah 6:9 which says, “And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.” Studying and understanding our Father’s Word is the most important ministry that is inspiring to us, edifying to others and pleasing to our Father God.

Verse 10 says, “Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.” “Convert {converted}” means, “to return, turn back, come back, or take a stand and show our Father total respect, love, and obedience, to return to a better mind, be restored, be brought back, from that place of following after satan’s rebellion or being lukewarm [no stand at all, either for or against our Father or satan].” Our Father God created each soul for His pleasure, including satan before his fall from our Father God’s love and grace.

Christ Jesus said in John 15:16, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” Verse 27 says, “And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.” “Beginning” as in the sense of when you were first created by Father God, you were with Christ Jesus; from the Former or First Earth Age into this present, Flesh or Second Earth Age.

If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?” Paul’s further teachings help us understand this Verse as Romans 9:14 says, “What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God?

It can be said that those who stood against satan’s rebellion chose to be sent into this Age of Flesh as Isaiah 6:8 says, “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here [am] I; send me.”
Romans 8:32 says, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” “All things” for Kingdom building are freely and abundantly given including the wisdom to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, if one stood against satan’s rebellion from afore, being the Former or First Earth Age. Our Father loves all of His children, even the rebellious from the Age that was. It is the duty and obligation of those who withstood satan’s rebellion to preach the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven because this is our Father’s will. Luke 17:10 says, “So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.”
Romans 8:33 says, “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? [It is] God that justifieth.” Our Father is always completely just and fair and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Our Father does not play favorites, rather rewards all of His children in accordance to their actions. Those who withstood satan’s rebellion are not better than anyone else, however our Father can count on them in this Flesh or Second Earth Age to withstand satan because they withstood his rebellion from the Former or First Earth Age. Therefore, for you to understand the Parables Christ taught, you must have stood with our Father against satan’s rebellion from the beginning, and remain steadfast even in the midst of the rebellion of this present time.
Christ Jesus taught eight Parables in Matthew – Chapter 13 to help us understand the mystery of the sons of Cain, who are the kenites; kept secret, as satan’s rebellion, from the foundation of this Age.
{1} The Parable of the Sower
Christ Jesus said you must understand this parable or you would not understand any of His parables [Mark 41:1 – 13]. The word of our Father is compared to a seed planted in the earth, and some of these seeds are planted by the wayside, some on stony ground, some amongst thorns, and other’s on good ground. The following teaching of “The Sower” is the reason many are called in this Age of the Flesh or Second Earth [World] Age, however few are chosen to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of our Father. The seeds of truth that fall by the wayside fall upon the ears of the spiritually dead. Christ said, “Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts [Mark 4:15].” These are composed of the one-third who followed after satan’s rebellion and overthrow from the Former or First Earth Age. The seeds of truth that are planted in stony ground and the seeds of truth that are planted amongst the thorns are the lukewarm who took no stand either then or presently. They usually sit in church houses for specific events or after they have lived it up in the world, now claim they have found “gawd”, or that “gawd” called them. Christ said of the seeds planted in stony ground, “when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended [Mark 4:16 & 17].” These are normally the churchgoers who believe they will rapture or fly away before the tribulation of satan upon the earth. Christ said, “And these are the seeds planted amongst the thorns, are such that hear the word, “And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful [Mark 4:18 & 19].” These are they who as long as everything is all right in their circle, have little time to worry or concern themselves with others. The seeds received into the good ground are the chosen few, “such as hear the word, and receive [it], and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred [Mark 4:20].” These are they who withstood satan’s rebellion and overthrow, and anxiously receive the truth and share that truth with the way-sided, the stoned, and the thorn choked, with the help of our Father’s precious Holy Spirit. Our Father said to the prophet Ezekiel in Chapter 2 - Verse 3, “Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, [even] unto this very day. Verse 4 says, “For [they are] impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.” Verse 5 says, “And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they [are] a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.” Verse 6 says, “And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [be] with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a rebellious house.”
{2} The Parable of the Tares
Christ Jesus said concerning this parable, “An enemy hath done this [Matthew 13:28].” This is a compatible secret from the foundation of the world with satan’s rebellion and overthrow because it has to do with his offspring. Many people do not realize that Cain was satan and Eve’s son, and not Adam’s child. Christ explains this fact in this parable, which is the sin in the Garden of Eden from Genesis – Chapter 3. Hear the “Parable of the Tares” of the field as taught by Christ Jesus. Our Lord compared our Father to a man who sowed good seed in His field {born from above, John – Chapter 3}. Our Father’s enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. Christ explains that “the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one]; The enemy that sowed them is the devil [Matthew 13:37 – 39].” “Children” is “huios {hwee-os'}” in the Greek, meaning, “generally used of the offspring of men, in a restricted sense, the male offspring (one born by a father and of a mother), in a wider sense, a descendant, one of the posterity of any one.” The devil is one of satan’s names, as is wicked one, and in the Garden of Eden he produced Cain with Eve [Genesis 3:3 – 7]. “Cain {Strong’s Concordance Hebrew Word No. 07014}” is associated with the tribe of the kenites, making the kenites his offspring. Cain is the son of satan, and Cain’s children, the kenites, are the tares sowed by our Father’s enemy. Christ utilized two of satan’s names in this parable, being the wicked one and the devil [1 John 3:8 – 12]. John reveals that the serpent in the Garden of Eden was satan as Revelation 12:9 says, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”
{3} The Parable of the Mustard Seed
Christ Jesus said that a mustard seed is the least of all seeds, ”but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof [Matthew 13:32].” Christ compares our faith to that of a mustard seed as Matthew 17:20 says, “And Jesus said unto them, for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” The least amount of faith can remove all the power of false doctrine, even revealing unto us the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. The vile one, satan and his offspring, Cain and the kenites, do not want the truth about them revealed so that satan can perpetrate his deception of the instead of jesus with relative ease and success. If you do not know what happened in the Former or first Earth Age, or the beginning, then you will never understand this present, Flesh or Second Earth Age. Paul said in Romans 10:17, “So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” The truth will make us free from satan’s lies and false teachings, just a little bit of Father’s truth every day will surely keep satan’s temptation and deception away.
{4} The Parable of the Leaven
In this parable Christ Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened [Matthew 13:33].” Three measures of meal was the standard grain offering to Father God. However, more than this, in the Parable of the Sower that Christ said we all need to understand in order to comprehend any of His parables, there are four types of people who hear the Word of our Father, and three of those types are stiff-necked, rebellious and hardhearted. Christ said, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees [Matthew 16:6], which, is the “false doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees [Matthew 16:11].” Leaven is applied to that which, though small in quantity, yet by its influence thoroughly pervades a thing; "a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump", just as a little deception and man’s traditions saturates the soul from generation unto generation.
{5} The Parable of the Treasure in the Field
Christ Jesus said concerning this parable, “the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field [Matthew 13:44].” Therefore, “Buy the truth, and sell [it] not; [also] wisdom, and instruction, and understanding [Proverbs 23:23].” Proverbs 2:3 says, “Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, [and] liftest up thy voice for understanding;” Verse 4 says, “If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as [for] hid treasures;” Verse 5 says, “Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.” Matthew 6:21 says, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
{6} The Parable of the Pearls
This parable is much like the Parable of the Hidden Treasure in the field. Christ Jesus said, “the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:” “Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it [Matthew 13:45 & 46.” Isaiah 33:6 says, “And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, [and] strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD [is] his treasure.” Proverbs 1:7 says, “The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.” “Fear” means “love.” “Pearl” is the Greek word “margarites {mar-gar-ee'-tace}”, meaning, “a word of great value, i.e., the most sacred and precious teachings of the Gospel thrust upon the most wicked and abandoned men (incompetent as they are, through their hostility to the Gospel, to receive them), and thus to profane them.”
{7} The Parable of the Net Cast into the Sea
Christ Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:” “Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away [Matthew 13:47 & 48].” In a sea you will find sea scavengers unfit for consumption and food blessed by our Father for sustenance. Christ is likening the tares and the wheat by the comparison of the net cast into the sea and filled with both the fit and the unfit, or the children of our Father and the children [kenites] of the devil.
{8} The Parable of the Householder
Christ Jesus ends His parables with, “Therefore every scribe [which is] instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure [things] new and old [Matthew 13:52].” All who have accepted Christ as their personal Savior become as Paul teaches, a new creation. II Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Many of the scribes that penned the teachings of the prophets and even into the times of Christ and the Apostles, were tares, or the offspring of Cain who was the son of satan. I Chronicles 2:55 says, “And the families of the scribes which dwelt at Jabez; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, [and] Suchathites. These [are] the Kenites that came of Hemath, the father of the house of Rechab.” Matthew 23:1 says, “Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,” Verse 2 says, “Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:” Verse 3 says, “All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, [that] observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.” Remember Isaiah’s teaching that “the fear of the LORD [is] his treasure [Isaiah 33:6].” We must purge out the old leaven and become a new lump unto our Father God. The way to accomplish this is to study all of our Father God’s Word, being the Old Testament and the New Testament, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. Paul said in II Timothy 2:15, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Verse 16 says, “But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.”
CONCLUSION
The eight Parables that Christ Jesus taught in Matthew – Chapter 13 all have one thing in common, they revolve around the kenites, Cain’s offspring, who was the child of satan and Eve. Christ said let the tares grow together with the wheat until the harvest, which is the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age. By the Son of man, “So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth , and sever the wicked from among the just,” “And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth [Matthew 13:49 & 50].” “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear [Matthew 13:43].” Our Lord’s question us is, all of mankind is, “Have ye understood all these things? Can we say unto him, Yea, Lord? [Matthew 13:51].” I Corinthians 3:7 says, “So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.” Amen Amen!!!~
