Parable Of The Mustard Seed,

Leaven, Hidden Treasure

And Precious Pearls

 

By

The Twelve Apostles

 

 

Parable Of The Mustard Seed

 “Again, this kingdom of the soul is like a little seed that men may plant in fertile soil. (A thousand of these seeds would scarcely be a shekel's weight.)
The tiny seed begins to grow. It pushes through the earth, and after years of growth, it is a mighty tree and birds rest in its leafy bowers, and beneath its sheltering boughs men find refuge from sun and storm.”


Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”

 

Explanations:

1.     A little faith that is true shall perform great wonders.

2.     Ideas are also mustard seeds, because every reality first started as an idea.

3.     The birds of the air mean peoples, groups, companies or organizations.

4.     Eventually God will establish His own church and kingdom, which shall replace all he man-made religions, churches, ministries and fellowships.

 

Parable Of The Leaven

“Again, the truth, the spirit of the kingdom of the soul, is like a ball of leaven that a woman hid in measures, three, of flour and in a little time the whole was leavened.”

 

Another parable He spoke to them: "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.”

 

Explanations:

1.     A wise saint will use the little light he has to gain more light.

2.     Taking the leaven is seeking and knowing the Truth.

3.     No wise saint will refrain from seeking and knowing the Truth.

4.     As such, a wise saint seeks for the Truth, and he will continue to seek until he finds.

5.     The kingdom of heaven is governed by and is seasoned with the Trinity of God.

6.     Whoever that lacks or rejects one of the Trinity is indeed deficient. The same person lacks the Holy trinity as a whole, and cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven.

7.     This world is God’s own school. The purpose of life here on earth is for humanity to learn how to live in heaven. This is the true aim of every true education. By this explanation, you have known the mystery of life here on earth.

 

Parable Of The Hidden Treasure

“Again, the kingdom of the soul is like a treasure hidden in a field which one has found, and straightway goes his way and sells all that he has and buys the field. “When Jesus had thus said He went alone into a mountain pass nearby to pray.

 

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

 

Explanations:

1.     A wise person will use everything he has on earth to seek and gain the kingdom of heaven, which is everlasting. This kingdom of heaven has everlasting treasures and pleasures for obedient the children of God.

2.     Many people are foolish, because they seek the gains, riches and pleasures of this earthly life, which are temporary, to the neglect of the kingdom of heaven, which has everlasting treasures and pleasures.

 

Parable Of The Precious Pearl

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.”

 

Explanations:

1.     People seek earthly money and wealth as they are all that there is.

2.     People do not know that earthly money and wealth are waste products from heaven, which are used to test the children of men.

3.     Heavenly life is so precious, invaluable and everlasting that the wise ones use every earthly possession they have to gain more and more and more of heavenly rewards.

4.     Examples of people who fulfill this parable, are the true ministers of God, who serve and worship God in spirit and in truth, who do not charge money for prayers, consultations, healing, deliverance, anointing sand ministrations.

5.     On earth, such ministers may appear to be poor and wretched. But, in heaven, they are the rich and wealthy saints of God.
