The Wonderful Goldmine

MEANINGS OF THE PARABLES

By
The Man Who Saw God Face To Face

1. The child represents a human being.
2. Empty bag means the physical body.
3. Market means the world.
4. To get home means to discover the true self: soul and spirit that a person is.
5. Abundance of good things of life means kingdom of heaven, which can be visited and enjoyed while a person is still on earth.

1. The child means a human being.
2. The pebble means the soul of a man.
3. To step on the pebble means to discover the soul and spirit of a man.
4. The pebble becoming a bird means that when a person discovers his soul and spirit, he becomes like one of the Angels (a golden eagle).
5. King of birds means that the person becomes exalted among mankind.

1. What people and churches know about God is still too small.
2. Majority do not know God’s priorities.
3. Intoxication means that they mix this little knowledge about God with their general ignorance, and still claim to know all.
4. Also, they count themselves as born-again, while majority are not yet born again. They have not known the Truth that sets free. This Truth is quite enormous. Reading one holy book alone is not enough.


After many years of teaching, Jesus still had to tell the disciples,

“You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” John 8:32

Again He said to them, “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.” John 16:12-14

“The Bible is incomplete,” say The Most High God.


5. Indeed, you will be amazed when you know the Truth.

1. People spend their lifetime caring, working and worrying about their flesh which shall perish, while the goldmine (their spirit selves) remain untapped.
2. For example, all the riches of the world are as nothing compared to one garment of Jesus that I saw in spirit.
3. The body is nothing but corpse.
4. It is the spirit self that is the image and likeness of God.
5. Some butterflies refer to earthly money and riches, which do not last; other butterflies refer to heavenly treasures, which are everlasting.

1. The person created in the image of God is not the body which you see and touch and nourish.
2. The Image of God is the soul and spirit that lives within the body and moves the body.
3. Majority are still unaware of this fact.
4. Many of those who already know have not experienced it.

1. When you discover the soul in its true form, you become one with God, who is all-encompassing.
2. Then you will see as God sees, reason as God reasons, know as God knows. You will be amazed at the loving-kindness of God, which He has provided in abundance for His children. You will then know why Jesus said that He came that we might have life and have it abundantly.
3. A drop of water from the ocean is so powerless and can easily be lost or misused. But, when the drop rejoins the ocean, it becomes one with the ocean, and then it can have and use the mighty powers of the ocean.

1. The foolish man means a human being.
2. He is foolish because most of his decisions and actions are based on ignorance.
3. To sell his treasure means that he is not interested in the spiritual self, which is a king of the universe.
4. To recover his treasure means to know God in spirit and in truth.
5. Hundred fold means that when he is ready, he will do all things possible (he will leave no stone unturned) to recover his treasure.

1. Majority have not known God. They only believe that God exists.
2. Despite this general ignorance, every church claims to be the best.
3. When you expect to hear the Truth from them, you discover that they do not know the Truth that sets free and which Truth leads to life everlasting.
4. That was why Jesus described the Scribes and Pharisees (religious leaders) as blind men leading blind people.


Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Matthew 15:14

What is more? Whoever that follows a blind man, makes himself a blind fellow.
…Raphael Nweze

1. Majorities are happy with their churches, and they boast about it. Spiritually, they are not better than unbelievers.
2. A sand is greater than the vast sky means that they care far more for the body made of sand (which is nothing but corpse) than they care for their spirit selves, (which are like Angels).

1. The teacher is like a mad man because:
• He teaches what he does not know.
• He disgraces himself by exposing his ignorance.
• He is outspoken, bold and boisterous, but busy teaching falsehood.
• Not only that he does not know the Truth, he continues to ignore it.
• He burdens himself with irrelevancies.
• He is busy deceiving people.


2. The children are busy laughing at him because:
• They learn nothing from him.
• They do not get spiritual guidance or nourishment from his teachings.
• The children gain nothing but confusion and stagnation from the teachings; worse still, without knowing it.
