Every parable in the Bible consists of 3 parties i.e. 3 players. Jesus gave us the code or the "inside scoop" in order to understand them ALL:

Mark 4:

13 And he said unto them, Know ye not THIS PARABLE? and how then will ye know ALL PARABLES?

Jesus then openly discloses the parties involved:

Mark 4:

15 And these are they by the way side, where THE WORD is sown; but when THEY have heard, SATAN cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in THEIR hearts.

IF God "allows" a person to hear, they will HEAR that this happens to THEM.

IF they don't HEAR, they are being actively stolen from by SATAN.

The 3 Party Principle applies to every/all parables. If any one of the parties are missing in the dissections, then the understandings are void.

Luke 8:11

Now THE PARABLE is this: The seed IS THE WORD OF GOD.

IF you "hear" the parable, and personally apply what the parable is saying, that Satan enters YOUR heart to steal, then you'll see more than "just you" involved in the drama. The parable says that there is "you/me/us" as people, and there is another party involved within our own minds, that is not us.

Paul elaborates on these principles in Romans 7, showing how the LAW, the WORD of God, caused every manner of concupiscence in his mind, AGAINST the law. This is the action of "sin" working internally, in the mind.

Paul describes this indwelling sin as "NO MORE I" twice in Romans 7, identifying it as something or some agent other than Paul.

We also know that sin is in fact "of the devil." 1 John 3:8. The other party should be clear enough to anyone who HEARS.

Those who have not dissected parables with ALL the parties should revisit every one of them, often, until it sinks in.

And amazingly the missing party in bad parable dissections is always WHO? Yeah, Satan, the devil. Theft. Stolen. Word.

The parable isn't a STORY. It's a REAL UNSEEN FACT for every person. The fact that these parables are dealing with REAL unseen internal facts is why it is depicted in parables, to provide us a way of "association" to understand.

In the parable of Mark 4, every single Word of that parable applies to every one of us. Matt. 4:4, Luke 4:4

Understanding a parable with 3 parties in mind, God, man and Satan.

Matthew 24:

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

WHO exactly is being "cut asunder?" The answer should be obvious. The MAN is divided from the ADVERSARY.

Study instances of being cut in HALF in the scriptures. Same principle is involved.

Hebrews 11:37

They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;

The above is a picture of MAN bound internally with our ADVERSARY. Yes, we all wander in both SHEEPskins and GOATskins.

IN the parable of the SHEEP being divided from the GOATS, every Word of that parable applies to ALL.

If some think they are only a SHEEP, they have less understandings of Jesus.

The GOATS are an association term to THE DEVIL and his messengers, which we should all know well enough by now.

Proverbs 27:26

The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.

When Jacob came before Isaac as a liar, a usurper of his elder brother, as a deceiver, what did his mother put upon him?

GOAT SKIN.

Get the picture yet?

The works of Satan were found in ALL SEVEN CHURCHES of Revelation.

Every Word applies to us. When believers read it however, it will almost invariably come into their MINDS that all the "bad parts" do not apply to THEM.

See the principle of Mark 4:15, and how that works. It's like "clockwork." Predictable.

What has always gone on in the world?

Evil RULERS are shown and proven to be at the TOP.

Do we hear Gods Active MESSAGES in those things?

What is transpiring right now, in our present time?

We are being treated (potentially) to the fact that not only our "fleshly" rulers are evil, but that they are Satan worshipping pedophile killers.

Can the message from GOD be made any clearer?

I think not.

The message is personal, to all.

Mark 4:15 is an internal reality. This "fleshly news" is so damaging to the world that (supposedly) our .gov leaders can only speak of 20% of it, maybe revised to 40%.

What are we getting in that? A "partial" revealing. Why is it only "partial?"

Because the WHOLE TRUTH is much more disturbing.

The "messaging" has intesified, almost to the breaking points on so many levels.

The whole world is "deeply" in DEBT. This is a Spiritual Message. The whole world is in fact "enslaved" to Satan, the god of this world. The "external debt" picture is only a physical depiction of the collective "internal reality."

Our environment is "polluted." Same picture.

Our health is in the tank and our health care is not affordable. Same picture.

Our health system is corrupt. Same picture.

We're sick and can't afford to take care of ourselves.

So many Spiritual Messages being put into the matrix. Hard to keep track of them all. Could write for days about how these "associations" relate to the BIBLE, and how far along this puts us on the scale of things.

The end however will be GLORIOUS. Maybe moreso that Q projects.

The end game of God in Christ is to destroy the unseen adversaries. We are just getting a front row seat on the flesh scale currently.

It's going to get a lot more interesting.

Thee END GAME of God in Christ is NO DEALS, NO MERCY. (familiar ring currently?)

1 Corinthians 15:24

Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father;

WHEN HE SHALL HAVE PUT DOWN ALL RULE AND ALL AUTHORITY AND POWER.

Whether we're ready, or not.

We might think Trump is a bada** in this regards. I think he may be (delightfully) usurped as well. At least he's leaning in the RIGHT direction. ;)

Often the cold hard facts of these things have been put right in front of our eyes in the Bible, yet people, believers even, can't see it.

They'll endlessly speculate on identity of the beast, the dragon and the false prophet, yet can't see the OBVIOUS:

Revelation 16:

13 And I saw three unclean SPIRITS like frogs come out of the mouth of THE DRAGON, and out of the mouth of THE BEAST, and out of the mouth of THE FALSE PROPHET.

14 For THEY ARE THE SPIRITS OF DEVILS,

For anyone who is waiting for the identity of a physical man as the anti-Christ, don't waste your time. It's not going to happen. The anti-Christ is also what? Yeah, A SPIRIT.

1 John 4:3

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST, whereof ye have heard that it should come;

and even now already is it in the world.

When we're dealing with the scriptures, we are engaging the UNSEEN. We have to look behind the flesh masks to see what's really going on, INSIDE.

How much endless speculation have most of us as believers spent on identifying MYSTERY BABYLON. People claim it's Rome or Jerusalem or yada yada yada, when it's all been right in front of our noses the whole time and we didn't get the PICTURE:

Revelation 18:2

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become THE HABITATION OF DEVILS, and the hold of EVERY FOUL SPIRIT, and a cage of every unclean and HATEFUL BIRD.

Babylon is the collective, mankind, enslaved by Satan. People are the habitation of devils. Who is the unclean hateful bird?

Mark 4:

4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and THE FOWLS OF THE AIR came and devoured it up.

Jesus tells "His" disciples exactly WHO, here:

Mark 4:

15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, SATAN cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

Who is the PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR?

Via Paul:

Ephesians 2:

2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, THE SPIRIT that now worketh in the children OF DISOBEDIENCE:

Stick and stone Rome? Jerusalem? Spare me.

These are unseen internal workings and unseen players. We only see their RESULTS on the outside, but we don't see THEM.

THEY are only REVEALED by THE WORD of God and His Christ.

When TRUMP et all do their things on the world stage, (I fully expect they'll be successful) we are probably going to have GREAT PEACE and SAFETY.

Remember what comes after:

1 Thessalonians 5:3

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

When you understand who is THEY and THEM, you'll see.

James 4:4

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

John 15:19

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

1 John 2:15

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1 John 2:16

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

1 John 4:5

They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

1 John 5:19

And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Galatians 5:17

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Luke 14:26

>>>If any man come to me, and hate not<<< his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and >>>his own life also,<<<

>>>he cannot be my disciple.<<<

A disciple sees these internal realities for his own self:

Mark 4:15

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

How is Mark 4:15 perceived by disciples?

Romans 7:7-13

This proves what?

Romans 7:21

Romans 7:25

Mark 4:15

Sin is of the devil. 1 John 3:8

God is not engaged with only mankind. God is also the adversary of Satan and his own. These parties we do not see with "flesh eyes."

"Them" and "They" God also engages and resists, and does so IN MAN, all.

We are not only the "friend" of God. We also bear the "ENEMY" of God.

The Word is a TWO EDGED SWORD. One edge is in all our behalves and one edge against us all, because we have sin, which is demonically sourced.

A disciple stands, DIVIDED by understanding.

Matthew 10:34

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Revelation 2:16

Repent; or else >>>I will come unto thee<<< quickly, >>>and will fight against them<<< with the sword of my mouth.

Revelation 13:10

He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: >>>he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.<<< Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

You who eternally condemn your fellow man in the Name of God in Christ are captured by the enemies of God in your heart. See your own real INTERNAL enemy, and understand WHO God in Christ is AGAINST. God is not only your FRIEND. He is also the enemy of evil, sin and the devil.

It's a vicious game.

When we are led to hear every Word of God, personally applied (Matt. 4:4, Luke 4:4), particularly the bad stuff, this is where we are led to:

Isaiah 45:3

And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

There is a BOOK written within the BOOK. Paul does a great lead in from 1 Cor. 9:9-10, transcribing the surface/fleshly ledger to the Spiritual Ledger. Paul's transcription is found nowhere but by his dissection of ALLEGORIES. (Gal. 4:21-24)

Allegories, Parables, Similitudes. It's what's for dinner on Gods Menu.

Hosea 12:10

>>I have also spoken by the prophets<<, and I have multiplied visions, >>and used similitudes<<, by the ministry of the prophets.

When the connections hit home, we see God in Christ, Active, NOW, in the earth.

>>1754327

Friendly debate here…

>You may not have meant it this way, but as it is written, you assume satan as an adversary of God the Creator. The creator has no adversary… no equal../

Never said the enemy(s) of God in Christ (unseen) are equals. They are enemy(s) adversary(s) of God in Christ however. Luke 19:27, Heb. 1:13, Heb. 10:13, Col. 1:21, 1 Cor. 15:25, Matt. 13:39, Matt. 16:23 etc. /

>Think of the passages about Jesus taking James, Peter, and James, and they fall asleep while Jesus (Peter) entertains Moses (James) and Elijah (John).

It is all about allegory… metaphor… /

Sleep-slumber in the spiritual sense is associated with internal darkness and works of darkness/blinding/enslavement. Acts 26:18, Romans 13:12, Col 1:21

A world of internal slumbering slaves is NOT a pretty place. Sin, evil and death are our present realities no matter how we try to view the temporal niceties. There is also Spiritual Light, of course.

Scriptural narratives encompass both sides of the ledgers of good/evil. It's pointless to lean one way or the other.

Whatever any of us do, we do so with "evil present" within. Romans 7:21

The texts describe the human heart as deceitful above ALL THINGS. Now look upon the vastness of the universe, and find the most deceitful place above all things thumping right there in our breast. Jer. 17:9

If it tries to say otherwise, it's merely the darkness therein, proving it so.
