The Figurative Language of the Secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven

Here is an English version of the contents of the screen. 

<Parable verse>

Matthew 13:10-11

<NIV>

10  The disciples came to him and asked, "Why do you speak to the people in parables?"

11   He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

<NKJV>

10  And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

11  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.

■ Main Contents

1. The reason why you cannot understand the word even if you read it

2. Why did Jesus speak in parables?

3. The secret of heaven recorded in the four Gospels and the book of Revelations.

4. When and through whom will we see the reality of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven that were sealed in parables?

5. The result of those who understand parables and those who do not

6. Example of parables

① written in parables

Parable(比喩 : comparison(比), perceiving(喩)) :  In describing an object, expressing it by borrowing similar characteristics of another object

② Prophecies did not come true. Therefore, the reality that were fulfilled did not appear yet (Habakkuk 2:2-3)

Q) When do the realities appear which were prophesied?

A) When the prophecy is fulfilled and the realities appear, you see the figurative realities and realize it.

※ You shouldn't know prophecy literally, but you should know it's a parable.

2. Why did Jesus speak in parables?

① To fulfill what is said through Prophet in the Old Testament

Psalms 78:1-2 prophesied to be said in parables -- (Prophecy, Fulfillment) --→ Matthew 13:34-35 speak in parables about the secrets of the kingdom of heaven

▶ John 16:25 a time : no longer use figurative language but will tell plainly

② Because it is the secrets of the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 13:10-11)

③ Because there's a risk that the enemy might listen, disturb, and abuse (Matthew 13:10-11)

    (The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them : You(those who are allowed), Them(those who are not allowed)

God’s position	He need to recover the global village that was taken away the devil
Satan’s position	They have to disturb God who wants to recover the global village which they took up

<Parables in the Bible>

① Parables in the book of history and lesson : To make it easier to understand

A mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field

A net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish

Rev. 1:20 : the secret of the seven stars, the seven golden lampstands

Rev. 17:7 : the secret of the beast with the seven heads and ten horns

Rev. 10:7 : the secret of the seventh trumpet

4. When and through whom will we see the reality of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven that were sealed in parables?

1) When : When the prophecy is fulfilled and its reality appear

   John 1:14 Jesus whose the word became flesh

2) Through whom : The messenger to speak sent by Jesus

① Psalms 119:130 The unfolding of the words of the Lord (open words)

The one who understand the parables → the forgiveness of sins → result : salvation O

The one who do not understand the parables → the forgiveness of sins X → result : salvation X

6. Example of parables

① Parables through objects : Isaiah 28:16 A stone in Zion → 1 Peter 2:4-6 Jesus

② Parables through a person : Isaiah 61:1 Isaiah → Luke 4:17-21 Jesus

③ Parables through a beast : 

Deut. 25:4 ox → 1 Cor. 9:9-10 shepherd of God

Song of Solomon 2:15 foxes → Ezekiel 13:4 false prophets

④ Parables through the historical event : 

Genesis 16-17 two women of Abraham → Galatians 4:21-24 two covenants

Exodus 25:8-9 sanctuary(tabernacle) at the time of Moses → Hebrews 9:9 a figure (a copy and shadow)

⑤ Parables through the name of region, nation : Rev 11:8 (spiritual) Sodom = Egypt = Golgotha 

◆ Conclusion

1. At the time of Today, this is an era to inform realities in which the secret of heaven, the prophecy of the Revelation became flesh and appeared when it is being fulfilled. Two thousand years ago, Jesus promised to tell the realities of the parables plainly rather than speaking figuratively (John 16:25).

2. Since it is to inform you the meaning of parables which was prophesied as promised, if we realize and believe the true meaning of parables and its realities, you can go to heaven. But, if you do not believe it, you will go to hell. Now is the time to speak plainly as Jesus promised. The reason to speak plainly is that the realities appear as what was said in parables.

3. The one who saw and heard can know the meaning of parables, the secret of the kingdom of heaven, new covenant which we must believe. Let's be the one who join in heaven that we all hope for by realizing the true meaning of the secret of the kingdom of heaven which is hidden in parables.
