CHRIST JESUS IS OUR PASSOVER - OUR LIVING WORD
Mark – Chapter 4
Mark 4:1 says, “And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.” Christ Jesus was in a boat pushed away from the land where the people were gathered to hear His teachings, yet by the Sprit of Father God, having no microphone as we do today, our Lord’s voice carried to the ears of the multitude as a natural amphitheater {pitch}. When our Lord speaks, His “voice is as the sound of many waters, mighty and powerful [Revelation 1:5].” The "sea" as is taught in the "Book of Revelation" is symbolic of "people." Revelation 17:15 says, " And he saith unto me, the waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multiples, and nations, and tongues."
Mark 4:2 says, “And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,” “Parables” means “an earthly story with a heavenly or spiritual meaning.” Luke 810 says, "And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand." If you are one of the very elect of Father God, chosen before the foundation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age, it is for you to understand when hearing the teachings of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Almighty God. Christ is saying that His Parables are taught for those with spiritual eyes and ears that are open by the Spirit of Father God to receive His Truths. If you are receiving Father's Word carnally and not spiritually, truth becomes a stumbling block for you, however if you seek that understanding through Father God, studying to show yourself approved in the Name of Christ Jesus, our Father will grant you that increase of understanding by the blessing of His Holy Spirit [Matthew 13:13 - 16 / Isaiah 6:9 & 10].
Mark 4:3 says, “Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:” This is an analogy of one who has seeds in a bag that is around the neck, hanging down to the side of the body. The ground was ready to receive the seed and the sower would take a handful of seeds and scatter the seeds with a side to side swing of the arm so the seeds would disperse into the field having no control over exactly where the seeds would fall. Therefore some of the seeds may land where there is no fertile ground to receive it, meaning by the wayside wherein nothing will grow from it. So this method of planting seeds thrown from the hand with a swinging motion is likened spiritually to broadcasting {via television, radio, computer, etc.} the Word of Father God and the seeds of truth will be heard by many minds in different places throughout the whole earth {field}.
Mark 4:4 says, “And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.” “Way side” means “road or path.” The seeds that did not fall into the ground prepared to receive the seeds would be picked up from the hard road and eaten by the birds. That seed is likened to the Word of Father God that lands in a mind having a brick wall which means there is no spiritual depth, being a hard head steeped in carnality or doctrines and traditions of men.
Mark 4:5 says, “And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:” “Stony” means “ground full of rocks.” If the ground is full of rocks or stones, there is nothing there fertile to receive the seeds since the stones are covering the fertile ground. This is likened to Father’s Word that is planted in the mind of one who claims to comprehend however does not because they have no understanding of the spiritual meaning of truth. They have accepted it carnally because there is no spiritual depth to their understanding.
Mark 4:6 says, “But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.” When a seed sprouts, it has roots deep within the soil that holds moisture so it can live even when the hot sun beats down on it. Spiritually, when the seed planted is the Word of Father God it must have a root also to understand the depths of truth so that opposition, obstacles in your path cannot sway you from trusting and having faith in our LORD continuously.
Mark 4:7 says, “And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.” “Thorns” means “bush or a thorny plant – like weeds clustered.” The weeds kept the seeds from landing in fertile ground, swarming them up so they could receive no moisture. Spiritually, when Father’s Word is planted into the mind of one full of confusion, the doctrines and traditions of men as weeds all clustered up, having no direction, when they hear truth it is unable to penetrate through the teachings of the Biblically illiterate and take root in their spiritual senses which are of Father God.
Mark 4:8 says, “And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.” The seed that was planted in fertile ground grew up and depending on how much seed was spewed in that area, is how much fruit flourished there, however be it a small crop or large crop it is ripe and hearty; pleasing. Spiritually, when people hear truth and understand the depth of its meaning their mind is that “good ground” since they have accepted what “thus saith our LORD.” Some people can quickly accept and understand truth and others take it in slowly. One way or the other, when you study to show yourself approved, Father God will grant that knowledge you seek according to what you are able to handle; this is a gift from our Father wherein He will not put more on you than you are able to bear. Just keep studying which lets Father know how much you love Him and He surely responds to that love with greater love for you as your spiritual mind {fertile ground} keeps absorbing truth and yielding fruits of the Spirit, which is understanding and sharing the Word of our LORD with others, nurturing spiritual bodies.
Mark 4:9 says, “And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Father God wants His children to listen to the teachings of His Beloved Son and all those of His Holy Word, the very elect. Father loves each and every one of His children and wants all to come to the knowledge of spiritual truth since this is the only way to please our LORD and be a part of “His Perfect Plan.” Mankind was created for Father’s pleasure as is taught in Revelation – Chapter 4. You cannot please Father if you do not accept His Truths spiritually since it is your soul that will inherit Eternal Life by doing so.
Mark 4:10 says, “And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.” Once the multitude had dispersed and the disciples were alone with Christ Jesus, they asked our Lord to explain exactly what the Parable just taught meant. When you hear truth, you cannot help praying for understanding as you sink deeper into study, which is pleasing to our Father.
Mark 4:11 says, “And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all [these] things are done in parables:” “The kingdom of God” means “the King, Christ Jesus and His dominion, the people of this earth.” Once you come to understand the Parables as taught by Christ Jesus you become accountable for your spiritual acts and deeds according to these truths since you are a part of the very elect of Father God. This means that knowing the Truth of Father’s Word, Verse 29 of Chapter 3 is a teaching you want to have clear understanding of since it teaches of the “only unforgivable sin” and the fact that it can only be committed by one who is of the very elect of Father God.
Mark 4:12 says, “That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and [their] sins should be forgiven them.” This is why Father has placed some of His children in “the spirit of slumber” which means “the spirit of stupor” as is taught in Romans – Chapter 11 {Isaiah 29:10}. When you chose to believe the doctrines and traditions of the pulpit gurus over the Truth of Father’s Word, He will let you believe the lies and be deceived by satan as the anti-christ when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ. You cannot deny the Holy Spirit from speaking through you if you do not know the truth, which means you are not one of the very elect, therefore your soul is not in jeopardy of committing the unforgivable sin since your faith is based on lies and you are not accountable, having not been converted to Father’s Truths. You are however in the path of Father’s cup of wrath that shall be poured upon all those who bow down and worship satan when our True Christ returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”
Mark 4:13 says, “And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?” Christ Jesus answered His disciples and told them that if they did not understand the Parable He just taught, the “Parable of the Sower”, they will not understand any of His Parables. This same truth applies to all of mankind as we now live because as you claim to be a christian, if you do not understand this Parable, you will not understand any of the Parables as Christ teaches them, and “Parables are the Word of Father God Almighty and His Truths must be understood from The Beginning {Genesis} to The End {Revelation}.”
Mark 4:14 says, “The sower soweth the word.” The “seed” Christ Jesus is teaching about is the “Word of Father God Almighty.”
Mark 4:15 says, “And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.” This is teaching of those people who will hear Father’s Truths and accept it, and then reject it or let it lay sleeping within their minds. The “way side, a path” is hard and packed and this is likened to the minds of people who are hard and packed with doctrines and traditions of men; it is very difficult to get a seed of truth to penetrate and grow spiritually. This is why satan can easily upset their spiritual walk in life when he throws obstacles in their path. Whenever you say for example, “why did God let this happen?”, satan is attempting to push you from your true christian walk and you are allowing him to.
Mark 4:16 says, “And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;” These people receive seeds planted by the very elect, Father’s Truths, and become excited as they claim understanding and joy in hearing it.
Mark 4:17 says, “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.” These same people who get all excited when hearing Father’s Word, lacking a spiritual root to hold on to these truths, when sharing or planting seeds that are rejected by their pulpit guru or any other hearer, becoming discouraged they immediately back away from truth and revert back to the doctrines and traditions of men. They give up rather than seek strength from continuing to study Father’s Word wherein there are blessings as you stand upon our “Rock, our Living Word who is Christ Jesus.”
Mark 4:18 says, “And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,” This is speaking of people who have minds that are too full, spiritually and carnally.
Mark 4:19 says, “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.” This is speaking of people who become very involved with carnal things within their life and being so caught up, fail to take time daily to study the Word of Father God. This can happen even to the very elect if we are not careful, having accepted truth, believing it is no longer necessary to study. Life has to have proportion wherein your family, job, activities, even attending church have to be kept in perspective since Father wants His children to enjoy their daily living and attend to all positive and negative happenings responsibly; however always remembering to show Father God love and bless Him the only way possible, and that is by studying His Word daily. It is necessary to never become so busy with life that you do not study {unfruitful} and meditate on the Truth of Father’s Word. This is the only way to become rooted in understanding with blessings from Father God for that increase of knowledge; this being our LORD’s promise to remind Him [Isaiah 43:26] when you ask, seek and knock.
Mark 4:20 says, “And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive [it], and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.” This is speaking of the very elect of Almighty God who when they hear truth, immediately receive and accept it, continuing to seek knowledge through faithful study so they can serve our LORD with great joy. Father knows what each of His children are able to manage and to some He gives small spiritual tasks and to others larger spiritual tasks as seeds of truth are planted. To those whom Father gives much, He expects much, however the rewards Father extends are equal because our LORD is fair and just. It takes many hands of responsibility to be a part of Father’s Perfect Plan and the measurement of your offering is based on what Father feels you can handle; however when you put all things together for the good works of our LORD, there is no partiality shown, all receiving a just reward. What is essential is that seeds of truth continue to be planted for any to receive who have eyes to see and ears to hear, be it one person or one hundred people who come to the knowledge of truth.
Mark 4:21 says, “And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?” A candle's purpose is to give off light so you can see. Christ Jesus is the “Light of the world, our Living Word” and when you have the “seal of truth within your mind”, as the candle, when you plant seeds of truth that “Light” is reflected which brings people who have eyes to see and ears to hear from the darkness [satan/kenites] of doctrines and traditions, babble and confusion to the “Light” of what “thus saith our LORD.” Therefore the very elect are not to keep truth to themselves, which is hiding it under a bushel or bed; rather it is to be shared.
Mark 4:22 says, “For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.” “Manifested” means “visible or known what has been hidden or unknown, to manifest, whether by words, or deeds, or in any other way.” Father God has foretold us all things within His Word and just as it is written it comes to pass and shall continue to come to pass exactly as it is scripted, faithful study unfolding the “secrets of the Kingdom of Father God.” We are a generation of faith and it is choice as to what people will believe or not believe. It is the responsibility of the very elect to continue in faithful study, planting seeds of truth, sharing Father’s Word and praying for people to receive it because they are accountable as to whether they want to walk in “Light {Christ Jesus}” or stumble in darkness [satan] and be a part of the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind when satan is cast to this earth as the first/false christ.
Mark 4:23 says, “If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.” This is a blessing from Father God when you put in the work through study, seeking that increase of understanding only Father can give so once you have knowledge, those secrets having unfolded, you become a worker for our LORD, broadcasting those same truths to any who will receive.
Mark 4:24 says, “And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.” As you come to understand Father’s Truths and share, planting seeds to others, continuing always in faithful study, Father will see to it that you continue to grow in spiritual knowledge. The more of Father’s Word you absorb with spiritual understanding, the more He will open to you, all the mysteries unfolding by the blessing of the Holy Spirit.
Mark 4:25 says, “For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.” When you study, accept, praise Father God and share truth, our LORD through Christ Jesus, our Living Word, will continue to reveal His truths to you by the blessing of His Holy Spirit. Proverbs 1:7 teaches that the beginning of knowledge is the love of Father God. For those who hear a truth and chose not to let it grow within their minds seeking more understanding, that same truth will die and depart from you since it is not being spiritually nourished.
Mark 4:26 says, “And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;” This is how all are or can be spiritually awakened to be a part of the dominion, “Christ Jesus our King.”
Mark 4:27 says, “And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.” Just as a farmer plants seeds for his crop, once that is accomplished, he goes about his daily routine. Nature {sunshine and rain} will cause those seeds to grow. The same is true when seeds of truth are planted within the minds of those with ears to hear and eyes to see. Once those seeds have been planted by the very elect, they go on their way, continuing about their daily duties to Father God. It is now the responsibility of the hearer to seek understanding {sunshine and rain} from Father God who will cause those seeds of truth to grow when you study Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, meditating and praying.
Mark 4:28 says, “For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.” Here is the stage of growth, nature, from a seed planted to a full, hearty ear of corn. This is an analogy of the hearer having seeds of truth planted within their fertile minds. Just as Father God causes that corn to grow from seeds planted, so shall He grant understanding of His Word to produce good fruit when those seeking wisdom of His Word ask, seek and knock for that full fruit of spiritual knowledge.
Mark 4:29 says, “But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.” The very elect plant seeds of truth, the hearer prepares their minds for those seeds to spiritually root, seeking the increase of understanding only Father God can give. At the time of harvest the mysteries of the Kingdom of Father God having unfolded, all shall be a part of the gathering to receive rewards or chastisements, based on choices made.
Mark 4:30 says, “And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?” Christ Jesus is asking what the “Kingdom of God” can be likened or compared to.
Mark 4:31 says, “[It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:” The mustard seed is the tiniest of seeds planted. This is likened to the twelve disciples, the tiniest group amongst the religious community who understands and teaches the truth of Father’s Word. The very elect have a large charge of duty since most of the people of this world find joy in playing church, which means the very elect are few in number. This is documented within Father's Word as is taught in Revelation - Chapter 13 as most of the world will bow a knee to satan when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ, in their ignorance of Father's Word, believing he is our True Christ here to rapture them away.
Mark 4:32 says, “But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.” That tiny mustard seed germinates and becomes the largest of all the herb plants. This is what the “Kingdom of Father God is likened to.” The twelve disciples, the very elect of this generation, Biblically literate, as compared to most religious people who are Biblically illiterate, will stretch throughout the whole earth and plant seeds of truth according to Father’s Word and true christianity is going to become greater than the false teachings of doctrines and traditions of men. As times goes on the very elect will multiply as seeds of truth are planted and Father’s Truths will continue to spread and produce good fruit. Father’s Word is the greatest love of all.
Mark 4:33 says, “And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear [it].” The “Word of Almighty God” is there for all who have eyes to see and ears to hear and our LORD will see to you understanding His Truths when you study and show yourself approved.
Mark 4:34 says, But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.” This is why it is so important to study all the “Books of the Bible” as they were written, Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Precept upon Precept. Father God’s Word is only hidden to those who fail for whatever reason to study His Truths. Christ Jesus went on to “expound” which means “to unloose, untie, to make clear, explain” the “seeds” which are the “Truths of Father God's Word”; the “field” is the “world {people}”; He that sowed the “good seed is Christ Jesus {His children the very elect}”, and he that “choked the good seed is satan [his children the kenites].”
Mark 4:35 says, “And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.” “Christ Jesus is our Passover” and at the appointed time all shall “pass over” from these flesh bodies to our spiritual bodies when our Lord returns to this earth as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”
Mark 4:36 says, “And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.” Christ Jesus is the Word of Father God Almighty. The very elect are christians of the many-membered Body of our Lord and all who come to the knowledge of the truth are as the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia and will continue to follow the teachings of Christ until He returns at the Seventh Trump.
Mark 4:37 says, “And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.” A great storm consisting of doctrines and traditions of men with the kenites at the helm while the Biblically illiterate rush with them against the Truth of Father's Word with their outpouring of lies and false teachings.
Mark 4:38 says, “And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?” Christ Jesus had said to the disciples, “Let us pass over unto the other side.” There was nothing to fear since our Lord had already declared that they would reach their destination. Do not doubt that which is spoken by our Father who is "Faithful and True."
Mark 4:39 says, “And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.” Christ Jesus commanded the peace and it was. This was a test of faith, hearing and understanding. When your life is sailing a course with Christ Jesus at the helm, there is nothing to fear. There are no obstacles that you will not overcome when your faith and works are a marriage by the blessings of the Holy Spirit.
Mark 4:40 says, “And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?” Christ Jesus was God Himself walking with His children. All of these things are occurring as a teaching for us as we now live. Knowledge strengths faith and when you have understanding of Father’s Word, knowing those things that shall consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age gives you the courage and trust to continue studying, planting seeds of truth and extending pure love for Father God and Christ Jesus, always thankful for the Holy Spirit which brings you peace in the love of Father God and His protection. Faith will give you the courage to stand at the appointed time.
Mark 4:41 says, “And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” They had seen the many miracles of Christ Jesus and should not even have had to ask this question even though it was the first time they had seen nature succumb to the commandment of our Lord. “This Man” is “Emmanuel” which means “God with us.” Our Lord would soon be crucified on that cross at Calvary and the disciples as the very elect of this generation we now live in will continue to sail on ships knowing as Christ said, “Let us pass over unto the other side.” The ride will be rough at times as seeds of truth are planted, however there will be victory as our Lord sits on His Throne at the “Right Hand of Father God Almighty”, the comfort of His Holy Spirit with us always. So if you do not want your ship to fill with the doctrines and traditions of men and sink, have your life raft in place which is the Word of Father God Almighty Himself.
Mark 4:2 says, “And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,” “Parables” means “an earthly story with a heavenly or spiritual meaning.” Luke 810 says, "And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand." If you are one of the very elect of Father God, chosen before the foundation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age, it is for you to understand when hearing the teachings of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Almighty God. Christ is saying that His Parables are taught for those with spiritual eyes and ears that are open by the Spirit of Father God to receive His Truths. If you are receiving Father's Word carnally and not spiritually, truth becomes a stumbling block for you, however if you seek that understanding through Father God, studying to show yourself approved in the Name of Christ Jesus, our Father will grant you that increase of understanding by the blessing of His Holy Spirit [Matthew 13:13 - 16 / Isaiah 6:9 & 10].
Mark 4:3 says, “Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:” This is an analogy of one who has seeds in a bag that is around the neck, hanging down to the side of the body. The ground was ready to receive the seed and the sower would take a handful of seeds and scatter the seeds with a side to side swing of the arm so the seeds would disperse into the field having no control over exactly where the seeds would fall. Therefore some of the seeds may land where there is no fertile ground to receive it, meaning by the wayside wherein nothing will grow from it. So this method of planting seeds thrown from the hand with a swinging motion is likened spiritually to broadcasting {via television, radio, computer, etc.} the Word of Father God and the seeds of truth will be heard by many minds in different places throughout the whole earth {field}.
Mark 4:4 says, “And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.” “Way side” means “road or path.” The seeds that did not fall into the ground prepared to receive the seeds would be picked up from the hard road and eaten by the birds. That seed is likened to the Word of Father God that lands in a mind having a brick wall which means there is no spiritual depth, being a hard head steeped in carnality or doctrines and traditions of men.
Mark 4:5 says, “And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:” “Stony” means “ground full of rocks.” If the ground is full of rocks or stones, there is nothing there fertile to receive the seeds since the stones are covering the fertile ground. This is likened to Father’s Word that is planted in the mind of one who claims to comprehend however does not because they have no understanding of the spiritual meaning of truth. They have accepted it carnally because there is no spiritual depth to their understanding.
Mark 4:6 says, “But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.” When a seed sprouts, it has roots deep within the soil that holds moisture so it can live even when the hot sun beats down on it. Spiritually, when the seed planted is the Word of Father God it must have a root also to understand the depths of truth so that opposition, obstacles in your path cannot sway you from trusting and having faith in our LORD continuously.
Mark 4:7 says, “And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.” “Thorns” means “bush or a thorny plant – like weeds clustered.” The weeds kept the seeds from landing in fertile ground, swarming them up so they could receive no moisture. Spiritually, when Father’s Word is planted into the mind of one full of confusion, the doctrines and traditions of men as weeds all clustered up, having no direction, when they hear truth it is unable to penetrate through the teachings of the Biblically illiterate and take root in their spiritual senses which are of Father God.
Mark 4:8 says, “And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.” The seed that was planted in fertile ground grew up and depending on how much seed was spewed in that area, is how much fruit flourished there, however be it a small crop or large crop it is ripe and hearty; pleasing. Spiritually, when people hear truth and understand the depth of its meaning their mind is that “good ground” since they have accepted what “thus saith our LORD.” Some people can quickly accept and understand truth and others take it in slowly. One way or the other, when you study to show yourself approved, Father God will grant that knowledge you seek according to what you are able to handle; this is a gift from our Father wherein He will not put more on you than you are able to bear. Just keep studying which lets Father know how much you love Him and He surely responds to that love with greater love for you as your spiritual mind {fertile ground} keeps absorbing truth and yielding fruits of the Spirit, which is understanding and sharing the Word of our LORD with others, nurturing spiritual bodies.
Mark 4:9 says, “And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Father God wants His children to listen to the teachings of His Beloved Son and all those of His Holy Word, the very elect. Father loves each and every one of His children and wants all to come to the knowledge of spiritual truth since this is the only way to please our LORD and be a part of “His Perfect Plan.” Mankind was created for Father’s pleasure as is taught in Revelation – Chapter 4. You cannot please Father if you do not accept His Truths spiritually since it is your soul that will inherit Eternal Life by doing so.
Mark 4:10 says, “And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.” Once the multitude had dispersed and the disciples were alone with Christ Jesus, they asked our Lord to explain exactly what the Parable just taught meant. When you hear truth, you cannot help praying for understanding as you sink deeper into study, which is pleasing to our Father.
Mark 4:11 says, “And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all [these] things are done in parables:” “The kingdom of God” means “the King, Christ Jesus and His dominion, the people of this earth.” Once you come to understand the Parables as taught by Christ Jesus you become accountable for your spiritual acts and deeds according to these truths since you are a part of the very elect of Father God. This means that knowing the Truth of Father’s Word, Verse 29 of Chapter 3 is a teaching you want to have clear understanding of since it teaches of the “only unforgivable sin” and the fact that it can only be committed by one who is of the very elect of Father God.
Mark 4:12 says, “That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and [their] sins should be forgiven them.” This is why Father has placed some of His children in “the spirit of slumber” which means “the spirit of stupor” as is taught in Romans – Chapter 11 {Isaiah 29:10}. When you chose to believe the doctrines and traditions of the pulpit gurus over the Truth of Father’s Word, He will let you believe the lies and be deceived by satan as the anti-christ when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ. You cannot deny the Holy Spirit from speaking through you if you do not know the truth, which means you are not one of the very elect, therefore your soul is not in jeopardy of committing the unforgivable sin since your faith is based on lies and you are not accountable, having not been converted to Father’s Truths. You are however in the path of Father’s cup of wrath that shall be poured upon all those who bow down and worship satan when our True Christ returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”
Mark 4:13 says, “And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?” Christ Jesus answered His disciples and told them that if they did not understand the Parable He just taught, the “Parable of the Sower”, they will not understand any of His Parables. This same truth applies to all of mankind as we now live because as you claim to be a christian, if you do not understand this Parable, you will not understand any of the Parables as Christ teaches them, and “Parables are the Word of Father God Almighty and His Truths must be understood from The Beginning {Genesis} to The End {Revelation}.”
Mark 4:14 says, “The sower soweth the word.” The “seed” Christ Jesus is teaching about is the “Word of Father God Almighty.”
Mark 4:15 says, “And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.” This is teaching of those people who will hear Father’s Truths and accept it, and then reject it or let it lay sleeping within their minds. The “way side, a path” is hard and packed and this is likened to the minds of people who are hard and packed with doctrines and traditions of men; it is very difficult to get a seed of truth to penetrate and grow spiritually. This is why satan can easily upset their spiritual walk in life when he throws obstacles in their path. Whenever you say for example, “why did God let this happen?”, satan is attempting to push you from your true christian walk and you are allowing him to.
Mark 4:16 says, “And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;” These people receive seeds planted by the very elect, Father’s Truths, and become excited as they claim understanding and joy in hearing it.
Mark 4:17 says, “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.” These same people who get all excited when hearing Father’s Word, lacking a spiritual root to hold on to these truths, when sharing or planting seeds that are rejected by their pulpit guru or any other hearer, becoming discouraged they immediately back away from truth and revert back to the doctrines and traditions of men. They give up rather than seek strength from continuing to study Father’s Word wherein there are blessings as you stand upon our “Rock, our Living Word who is Christ Jesus.”
Mark 4:18 says, “And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,” This is speaking of people who have minds that are too full, spiritually and carnally.
Mark 4:19 says, “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.” This is speaking of people who become very involved with carnal things within their life and being so caught up, fail to take time daily to study the Word of Father God. This can happen even to the very elect if we are not careful, having accepted truth, believing it is no longer necessary to study. Life has to have proportion wherein your family, job, activities, even attending church have to be kept in perspective since Father wants His children to enjoy their daily living and attend to all positive and negative happenings responsibly; however always remembering to show Father God love and bless Him the only way possible, and that is by studying His Word daily. It is necessary to never become so busy with life that you do not study {unfruitful} and meditate on the Truth of Father’s Word. This is the only way to become rooted in understanding with blessings from Father God for that increase of knowledge; this being our LORD’s promise to remind Him [Isaiah 43:26] when you ask, seek and knock.
Mark 4:20 says, “And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive [it], and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.” This is speaking of the very elect of Almighty God who when they hear truth, immediately receive and accept it, continuing to seek knowledge through faithful study so they can serve our LORD with great joy. Father knows what each of His children are able to manage and to some He gives small spiritual tasks and to others larger spiritual tasks as seeds of truth are planted. To those whom Father gives much, He expects much, however the rewards Father extends are equal because our LORD is fair and just. It takes many hands of responsibility to be a part of Father’s Perfect Plan and the measurement of your offering is based on what Father feels you can handle; however when you put all things together for the good works of our LORD, there is no partiality shown, all receiving a just reward. What is essential is that seeds of truth continue to be planted for any to receive who have eyes to see and ears to hear, be it one person or one hundred people who come to the knowledge of truth.
Mark 4:21 says, “And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?” A candle's purpose is to give off light so you can see. Christ Jesus is the “Light of the world, our Living Word” and when you have the “seal of truth within your mind”, as the candle, when you plant seeds of truth that “Light” is reflected which brings people who have eyes to see and ears to hear from the darkness [satan/kenites] of doctrines and traditions, babble and confusion to the “Light” of what “thus saith our LORD.” Therefore the very elect are not to keep truth to themselves, which is hiding it under a bushel or bed; rather it is to be shared.
Mark 4:22 says, “For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.” “Manifested” means “visible or known what has been hidden or unknown, to manifest, whether by words, or deeds, or in any other way.” Father God has foretold us all things within His Word and just as it is written it comes to pass and shall continue to come to pass exactly as it is scripted, faithful study unfolding the “secrets of the Kingdom of Father God.” We are a generation of faith and it is choice as to what people will believe or not believe. It is the responsibility of the very elect to continue in faithful study, planting seeds of truth, sharing Father’s Word and praying for people to receive it because they are accountable as to whether they want to walk in “Light {Christ Jesus}” or stumble in darkness [satan] and be a part of the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind when satan is cast to this earth as the first/false christ.
Mark 4:23 says, “If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.” This is a blessing from Father God when you put in the work through study, seeking that increase of understanding only Father can give so once you have knowledge, those secrets having unfolded, you become a worker for our LORD, broadcasting those same truths to any who will receive.
Mark 4:24 says, “And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.” As you come to understand Father’s Truths and share, planting seeds to others, continuing always in faithful study, Father will see to it that you continue to grow in spiritual knowledge. The more of Father’s Word you absorb with spiritual understanding, the more He will open to you, all the mysteries unfolding by the blessing of the Holy Spirit.
Mark 4:25 says, “For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.” When you study, accept, praise Father God and share truth, our LORD through Christ Jesus, our Living Word, will continue to reveal His truths to you by the blessing of His Holy Spirit. Proverbs 1:7 teaches that the beginning of knowledge is the love of Father God. For those who hear a truth and chose not to let it grow within their minds seeking more understanding, that same truth will die and depart from you since it is not being spiritually nourished.
Mark 4:26 says, “And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;” This is how all are or can be spiritually awakened to be a part of the dominion, “Christ Jesus our King.”
Mark 4:27 says, “And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.” Just as a farmer plants seeds for his crop, once that is accomplished, he goes about his daily routine. Nature {sunshine and rain} will cause those seeds to grow. The same is true when seeds of truth are planted within the minds of those with ears to hear and eyes to see. Once those seeds have been planted by the very elect, they go on their way, continuing about their daily duties to Father God. It is now the responsibility of the hearer to seek understanding {sunshine and rain} from Father God who will cause those seeds of truth to grow when you study Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, meditating and praying.
Mark 4:28 says, “For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.” Here is the stage of growth, nature, from a seed planted to a full, hearty ear of corn. This is an analogy of the hearer having seeds of truth planted within their fertile minds. Just as Father God causes that corn to grow from seeds planted, so shall He grant understanding of His Word to produce good fruit when those seeking wisdom of His Word ask, seek and knock for that full fruit of spiritual knowledge.
Mark 4:29 says, “But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.” The very elect plant seeds of truth, the hearer prepares their minds for those seeds to spiritually root, seeking the increase of understanding only Father God can give. At the time of harvest the mysteries of the Kingdom of Father God having unfolded, all shall be a part of the gathering to receive rewards or chastisements, based on choices made.
Mark 4:30 says, “And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?” Christ Jesus is asking what the “Kingdom of God” can be likened or compared to.
Mark 4:31 says, “[It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:” The mustard seed is the tiniest of seeds planted. This is likened to the twelve disciples, the tiniest group amongst the religious community who understands and teaches the truth of Father’s Word. The very elect have a large charge of duty since most of the people of this world find joy in playing church, which means the very elect are few in number. This is documented within Father's Word as is taught in Revelation - Chapter 13 as most of the world will bow a knee to satan when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ, in their ignorance of Father's Word, believing he is our True Christ here to rapture them away.
Mark 4:32 says, “But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.” That tiny mustard seed germinates and becomes the largest of all the herb plants. This is what the “Kingdom of Father God is likened to.” The twelve disciples, the very elect of this generation, Biblically literate, as compared to most religious people who are Biblically illiterate, will stretch throughout the whole earth and plant seeds of truth according to Father’s Word and true christianity is going to become greater than the false teachings of doctrines and traditions of men. As times goes on the very elect will multiply as seeds of truth are planted and Father’s Truths will continue to spread and produce good fruit. Father’s Word is the greatest love of all.
Mark 4:33 says, “And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear [it].” The “Word of Almighty God” is there for all who have eyes to see and ears to hear and our LORD will see to you understanding His Truths when you study and show yourself approved.
Mark 4:34 says, But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.” This is why it is so important to study all the “Books of the Bible” as they were written, Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Precept upon Precept. Father God’s Word is only hidden to those who fail for whatever reason to study His Truths. Christ Jesus went on to “expound” which means “to unloose, untie, to make clear, explain” the “seeds” which are the “Truths of Father God's Word”; the “field” is the “world {people}”; He that sowed the “good seed is Christ Jesus {His children the very elect}”, and he that “choked the good seed is satan [his children the kenites].”
Mark 4:35 says, “And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.” “Christ Jesus is our Passover” and at the appointed time all shall “pass over” from these flesh bodies to our spiritual bodies when our Lord returns to this earth as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”
Mark 4:36 says, “And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.” Christ Jesus is the Word of Father God Almighty. The very elect are christians of the many-membered Body of our Lord and all who come to the knowledge of the truth are as the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia and will continue to follow the teachings of Christ until He returns at the Seventh Trump.
Mark 4:37 says, “And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.” A great storm consisting of doctrines and traditions of men with the kenites at the helm while the Biblically illiterate rush with them against the Truth of Father's Word with their outpouring of lies and false teachings.
Mark 4:38 says, “And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?” Christ Jesus had said to the disciples, “Let us pass over unto the other side.” There was nothing to fear since our Lord had already declared that they would reach their destination. Do not doubt that which is spoken by our Father who is "Faithful and True."
Mark 4:39 says, “And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.” Christ Jesus commanded the peace and it was. This was a test of faith, hearing and understanding. When your life is sailing a course with Christ Jesus at the helm, there is nothing to fear. There are no obstacles that you will not overcome when your faith and works are a marriage by the blessings of the Holy Spirit.
Mark 4:40 says, “And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?” Christ Jesus was God Himself walking with His children. All of these things are occurring as a teaching for us as we now live. Knowledge strengths faith and when you have understanding of Father’s Word, knowing those things that shall consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age gives you the courage and trust to continue studying, planting seeds of truth and extending pure love for Father God and Christ Jesus, always thankful for the Holy Spirit which brings you peace in the love of Father God and His protection. Faith will give you the courage to stand at the appointed time.
Mark 4:41 says, “And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” They had seen the many miracles of Christ Jesus and should not even have had to ask this question even though it was the first time they had seen nature succumb to the commandment of our Lord. “This Man” is “Emmanuel” which means “God with us.” Our Lord would soon be crucified on that cross at Calvary and the disciples as the very elect of this generation we now live in will continue to sail on ships knowing as Christ said, “Let us pass over unto the other side.” The ride will be rough at times as seeds of truth are planted, however there will be victory as our Lord sits on His Throne at the “Right Hand of Father God Almighty”, the comfort of His Holy Spirit with us always. So if you do not want your ship to fill with the doctrines and traditions of men and sink, have your life raft in place which is the Word of Father God Almighty Himself.
