Believe in Nothing, and You Shall Have It, In Abundance.

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED

These things all taken together Yeshua said to the crowds in parables;
Truly without a parable He said nothing to them.

This was in fulfillment of what was spoken by the prophet:
I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things that have been kept secret since the foundation of the world.


So his students came to Him and said,

Lord why do you speak to them in parables?

Yeshua said to them,

To you it has been given to know the deep secrets and the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.



For whoever has spiritual knowledge, to him will more be given and he will be furnished richly so that he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.



This is the reason that I speak to them in parables: because having the power of seeing, they do not see; and having the power of hearing, they do not hear, nor do they grasp comprehend or understand.



Manifest in them is the process of fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah, which says: You shall indeed hear and hear but never grasp and understand; and you shall indeed look and look but never see and perceive.



For this nation's heart has grown gross, fat and dull, their ears heavy and hard of hearing, their eyes they have tightly closed, lest they see and perceive with their eyes, and hear and comprehend the sense with their ears, and grasp and understand with their heart, and turn and make teshuva and I would heal them.



But blessed are your eyes because they do see, and your ears because they do hear.

Truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men yearned to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.



So, this is how it will be at the close and consummation of this age:
The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from the righteous,
the wicked will be cast into the furnace of fire;
and there will be much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Then will the righteous shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let him who has ears to hear be listening, and let him consider, perceive and understand by hearing



Have you understood all these things, all these parables, taken all together?


They said to Him, Yes, Lord Yeshua.

So, He said to them,

Every teacher and interpreter of the Sacred Writings who has been instructed about and trained for the kingdom of heaven and has become a disciple is like a householder,
who brings forth out of his storehouse treasure that is new
and treasure that is old, the fresh as well as the familiar.


When Yeshua had finished speaking these things, he split.
