  Parable of the new and the old   In Matthew 13:52, Jesus said,  “ Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. ”  He told five parables about heaven. The first is the parable of the treasure hidden in the field, the second is the parable of the pearl of great price, the third is the parable of the net thrown into the sea, the fourth is the parable of the good householder, and the fifth is the parable of the new and the old. The new refers to the words of the new covenant, and the old refers to the law of the old covenant. Only those who can accurately unravel and interpret the Law and the New Covenant can become disciples of heaven. When Jesus asked,  “ Do you understand all this? ”  the disciples answered,  “ Yes. ”  Jesus then compared you, his disciples, to  “ scribes who have become dis...

  Parable of the rich man and Lazarus   Luke 16:19-31  『 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and spread sumptuously every day:And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and he was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom his. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all th...

  Parable of treasure   Matthew 13:44  『 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hidden in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 』 Regarding this statement, people may misunderstand that they can buy heaven by selling everything they have. When the disciples asked Jesus,  “ Why do you speak in parables? ”  Jesus answered, He said,  “ To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. ” This is to hide it from some people and reveal it to others. Regarding the subject of hidden secrets, Matthew 13:14-15 says,  “ And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they sho...

  Parable of ten pounds   Luke 19:11-27 『 And as they heard these things, he added and sparked a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. And he said to him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, thou hast authority over ten cities. And the second came...

  Martha and Mary   Luke 10:38-42  『 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and she came to him, and she said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from  』 Jesus had previously raised Lazarus from the dead. Going back to the situation at that time, in a poor neighborhood called  『 Bethany 』 , a man named  『 Lazarus 』 , the older brother of Martha and Mary, died. At that time, Martha, Lazarus' sister, came to Jesus. Jesus was delayed by other matters and arrived late at Bemart...

  Five loaves and two fish   Mark 6:41-44 『 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided him among them all. And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men. 』 Jesus heals a demon-possessed man, raises the dead daughter of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue, frees a woman who had suffered from an issue of hemorrhage for twelve years, calms the wind, and heals people with withered hands, paralytics, and lepers. Many people came to see Jesus. So Jesus continued teaching the people without even having time to eat, and it was evening. When the disciples came to Jesus and asked if they should give them something to eat as the day was getting late, Jesus said,  “ You give them something to eat. ” ...

  Lamp on lampstand   Mark 4:21-23  『 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? For there is nothing hidden, which shall not be manifest; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. If any man has ears to hear, let him hear. 』 Expressed from the first day to the seventh day in Genesis chapter 1, it is divided into light, firmament, land (seed), Maor, bird (sea), beast (man), and rest. This can be applied by connecting it with the terminology of the sanctuary and the contents of the Gospel of John and the Book of Revelation. On the fourth day, Maor is like a lampstand. The Book of Revelation refers to the seven stars (messengers of the seven churches). The seven stars represent those who spread the gospel (saints). Saints become like stars who believe in present-day resurrection. In Chapter 7 of the Gospel of John, Jesus talks about Jews who cannot recognize the light. So ...

  A bloody husband art thou to me.   Exodus 4:24-25 『 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him. Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet her, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. 』 If we look at chapter 4 verse 24 again in Hebrew, וַיְהִ֥י בַדֶּ֖רֶךְ בַּמָּלֹ֑ון וַיִּפְגְּשֵׁ֣הוּ יְהוָ֔ה וַיְבַקֵּ֖שׁ הֲמִיתֹֽו׃ According to the Hebrew Bible, Haya( וַיְהִ֥י ) is the name that Jehovah God gave to Moses. It is a name that means  “ I exist. ”  God directly reveals his name. Derek( דֶּ֖רֶךְ ) is derived from the word attic (to step, walk) and means a path, symbolically a journey of life, or a pattern of action, and as an adverb it means ~ therefore, apart, because, through, towards. Maron( מָּלֹ֑ון ) has the meaning of campsite, inn, etc. In the Old Testament, the tabernacle has also been used as a concept for a sanctuary. Pagash( פְגְּשֵׁ֣הוּ ) means to meet...

  Parable of talents   Matthew 25:14-30  『 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods his. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several abilities; and straightway took his journey. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. And similarly he had received two, he also gained other two. But he that had received one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money. After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful. servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over ma...
