Matt 13: 11-17

 

Excerpt: …Jesus and Paul politely spoke of humanity’s limits to vision calling it dullness and blindness; however, as the judgment hour mandates in John 16, plain words are now the proper tools of judgment: So leaving behind delicacy, I label human dullness more bluntly, calling it stupidity. Thus, the barrier to visualize the glory of the coming of the Lord is impeded by the ideas of fools. So I warn, human blindness is real and, to pass the judgment You must surmount sensitivity to  bluntly define reality.  Jesus’ words underscore this heretofore deemphasized aspects of our blindness to His Testimony and promises. In His answer to the disciples question, “ why speakest thou unto them in parables…” He said, “ Matt 13: 11-17 Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. … 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 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 15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; … 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17 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. 18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.” —Matt 13: 11-17. Christ spoke in parables because of willful human dullness of hearing and blindness of sight, or stupidity. Such was His stated reason for His use of parables. But my point is to highlight the 2nd derivative, the very Bible lesson to disciples hidden in the same context: By definition, they too are impeached and indicted for stupidity! At least then, let us now try to hear the Lord: After decoding His parabolic communicative style, his mission to hide the mystery of the kingdom, Christ cast the same head locking aspersion on His 12, He gave them a message by use of another parable tailored specifically for disciples… He said, “18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower…”. You didn’t S-E-E this before —special emphasis on the word “see”— due to your own dullness of hearing. Message! — all humanss, even the disciples, mentally mystify plain explanation. Thusly is the message of the mustard seed defined as least of all seeds. My popularity is limited because I make plain the forsaken words of the Lord. To requote, “ Matt 13: 11-17 Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. … 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. … 18 Hear ye (disciples) therefore the P-A-R-A-B-L-E of the sower.” —Ibid . The fact that He said, it is given unto you to resolve the mysteries, reflects God’s time lapse. Ergo, only today can we end-time disciples, see the glory of the Lord. …
