Kingdom Parables

In the Kingdom Parables, the Lord Jesus gives us distinct imagery that provides the careful student of Bible prophecy with keys to understanding what will likely happen in the last days before the final judgment. And of course, the peace on earth that the Bible points us toward. You see, that is the bigger picture that most people forget or pay very little attention to. God has ordained that man’s folly and rebellion will come to an end. After that end, we will enjoy 1,000 years of peace. The earth will be restored. So, we don’t have to worry about climate change. The Lord will handle it. 🙂

The Kingdom parables of Matthew thirteen.

In this chapter, Jesus explained why the kingdom parables are important truths that all believers and even unbelievers should be aware of.

So, why did Jesus speak in parables? In this article, we’ll look at his explanation for it, but in the explanation, we’ll see something that may cause the reader some concern.

Take a look at the Kingdom Parables.

As I mentioned in the previous article in this series, this is the first use of the word parable in the Book of Matthew. And the Lord’s teaching method caught the attention of the disciples. But, “speaking in parables” wasn’t unique to Jesus. The teaching style began in the very earliest ages. Spiritual truths were often described using imagery from everyday life. This is a commonly used method that continues today in schools around the world. But using this teaching method also brings a potential problem with it. Using a parable to teach can make it appear as though the teacher is talking about something that isn’t necessarily true. In many cases, old parables took on the mystic nature of being an ancient myth. Now that’s a general rule and doesn’t apply to Christ’s parables. But still, there is the potential to place them in the category of partial truth.

The kingdom parables that Jesus taught have vital truths that are important for every man, woman, or child. There are special rewards for those who seek the truth of them. And as we’ll see, whether one accepts or rejects the truth of the kingdom parables has eternal consequences.
