During the course of his lifetime,
Yahshua went around all over the land of Israel, while instructing a vast number of people in
Parables. But, what honestly is:
" A Parable "; and why would anyone ever need to use one?
These are
The Two True Questions, that I fully intend to take on today.
So, let's just start by now examining the first one....
Well, according to
Dictionary.com,
A Parable is very clearly defined ( as follows ):
" 1. A Short Allegorical Story - designed to illustrate ( or teach ): Some Truth, Religious Principle, or Moral Lesson.
2. A Statement Or Comment - that conveys an indirect meaning, by the use of: Comparison, Analogy, or The Like. " - excerpt, from Dictionary.com.
Thus, according to this definition, we can see that:
' Parables Are Merely: Shortened, Simplified, And Abbreviated Versions - Of Spiritual Allegory '... like, the entire world now utilizes today to instruct their own little children.
After all, whether you now comprehend it or not,
The Secret To Spiritual Success Has Been Most Often Found Within All Of That Remarkably Clever Repetition!
What... you, don't believe me?
Well then, why not just listen to
The Following Musical Video for:
" Bye Bye American Pie " - and, let's just see ( given the understanding that I have now provided you ) if you can truthfully comprehend
The Message That It's Quite Openly Now Telling You?
If Parables Are Just Shortened Allegorical Stories, Then What Are True Allegories And Where Might We ( Quite Honestly ) Find Them?
Now, I know that most of you - just like myself - were taught in public school that:
" We're All Now Just Descended From Monkeys "... and yet, I can't stop thinking about all of those magnificent and seemingly human experiences that make my own life out to be
The Adventure Of A Lifetime!
In fact, being innately curious myself, I cannot help but empathize with:
" George " - as, he constantly gets into mischief:
While Exploring His Own Human World and
Coming To Grips With His Own Special Place More Properly Within It.
You see, dear brothers and sisters:
' There Are Some Very Obvious Signs That Something Strange Is Now Going Here '... and, you really don't need to understand
Rocket Science to ( actually ) begin noticing it.
After all, we are now talking about all of those
Spiritually Discerned Matters, rather than just
Whatever Science Alone Can So Truthfully Tell You About Our Own Human Existence.
So, to answer that question:
' I Must Honestly State That You Can Now Find All Of Those Allegories Now Hidden In Plain Sight '... and, indeed,
If Your Own Mind Is Now Open To It The Possibilities For Your Own Self Discovery Are Now Truly Quite Limitless!
Meanwhile, of course,
That Doorway Hasn't Actually Been Opened For Everyone... since, whether you now comprehend it or not:
" There Just Ain't No Rest For The Wicked ".
Nor, is an eternal state of
Arrested Development ( quite honestly ) acceptable to God... and, when you truthfully consider:
' The Investment Of Time And Resources That He Has By Now Already Made ' - in, actually, now getting us this far -
You Just Might Want To Consider The True Motivation So Benevolently Behind It!
Hey, folks,
I'm Just Saying....
According to
Dictionary.com,
An Allegory is very clearly defined as ( the following ):
" 1. A Representation Of Abstract Or Spiritual Meaning - through concrete or material forms; and the figurative treatment of one subject under the guise of another.
2. A Symbolical Narrative - such as the allegory of Piers Plowman. " - excerpt, from Dictionary.com.
And, consequently, while we are pondering:
The Concept Of Money and ( even )
What Some People Will Factually Do To Obtain It - we soon come realize, that:
" Keeping Up With The Joneses " - might just be
Another Interesting Metaphor, for something that is ( quite honestly ) a little harder than it looks....
Now, by this particular point:
' You Should Have A Pretty Good Handle Upon Where All Of Those Allegories May Truthfully Be Found '... and, indeed, you might also also be wondering
Just How It Was ( So Cleverly ) Done.
And, while I can now quite readily explain it:
" How Isn't Nearly As Important As Why " - since, despite all of their own peaceful talking to the contrary,
You Are Now Standing Right Smack In The Middle Of An Incredibly Large Battlefield!
You see, dear brothers and sisters,
' Yahshua Has Long Ago Explained The True Purpose Of Everyone Who Speaks Utilizing Metaphor '... now, why don't we just read
His Own Simple Response for ourselves:
" The disciples came and said to Him: ' Why Do You Speak To Them In Parables? '
And, He then answered; and said to them:
' Because, It Has Been Given To You To Know The Mysteries Of The Kingdom Of Heaven, But To Them It Has Not Been Given. For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. Therefore, I speak to them in parables; because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. And, In Them, The Prophecy Of Isaiah Is Fulfilled - which, says:
" Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you will see, and not perceive; for the hearts of this people have grown dull; their ears are hard of hearing; and their eyes they have closed. Lest, they should see with their eyes; and hear with their ears; and lest they should understand with their hearts and turn; so that I should heal them. "
But, Blessed Are Your Eyes For They See, And Your Ears For They Hear; for assuredly, I say to you that Many Prophets and Righteous Men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. ' " - Mathew 13:10-17.
Hey, folks, I'm Just Saying... you ( really ) should read, All Of That Scripture!
" Then I said, ' Ah, Lord God! They say of Me: " Does He Not Speak Parables? " ' " - Ezekiel 20:49.
For Instance, in The Very First Chapter Of Proverbs, it ( quite honestly ) says:
" To know Wisdom and Instruction [ when you, actually do, see it ], and to perceive Words Of Understanding [ when you, honestly do, hear them ];
To receive The Instruction Of: Wisdom, Justice, Judgment, and Equity [ which is highly necessary for good civil governance ]; To give Prudence to the simple [ thus, instilling caution in those who are easily swayed by simple emotion ]; and, for the young man Knowledge and Discretion [ those traits which are not so easily cultivated in them ]. —
A Wise Man will hear and increase learning [ since, he perceives a true value in each of these valuable things ]; and A Man Of Understanding will attain wise counsel [ since, there are no better instructions than these ].
To understand A Proverb [ no matter where it may be found ] and An Enigma [ no matter how well it's actually encrypted ], The Words Of The Wise [ no matter how craftily devised ] and Their Riddles [ which they so often create at your own personal expense ].
The Fear Of The Lord Is The Beginning Of Knowledge [ oh, my children, there is so much more yet to learn ]; But [ alas ] Fools despise Wisdom and Instruction [ rather than just reading, or listening to, All Of My Own Words ]. " - Proverbs 1:2-7.
That's, Entirely Enough Said - upon, That Particular Subject...
Lest, I start doing like so many of those others, that are now ( merely ): " Rattling The Keys To The Kingdom "!
Because, whether you now comprehend it or not, That's Not My Own True Purpose....
And, that actually explains why Lord Vol De Mort [ that means: " The Lord Who Flees My Own Angel Of Death " ] is ( so obviously ) terrified of that little boy named Harry [ which means: " The Army Commander Of God " ]....
Ahava and Shalom.
May Yahweh's Own: Love and Peace - be, continually, upon you!
