TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - Morning Manna - Nov 12, 2025 - Matthew 13:10-13 - Parable of the Sower Pt 3
Episode Date: November 12, 2025Why did Jesus suddenly begin teaching in parables? Today’s study (Matthew 13:10–13, KJV) shows that parables both reveal the mysteries of the Kingdom to hungry disciples and conceal them from hear...ts hardened by unbelief. Rick and Doc unpack how God gives understanding in abundance to those who seek, why spiritual growth follows faithful use of the light you already have, and how persistent rejection leads to spiritual blindness. We’re encouraged to “come to the table,” pick up the fork, and feast on God’s wisdom—daily. Deuteronomy 29:29 reminds us that while some things belong to the Lord, He has gladly revealed Kingdom truths to His children.Teachers: Rick Wiles and Doc BurkhartYou can partner with us by visiting FaithandValues.com, calling 1-888-519-4935, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.MEGA FIRE reveals the ancient recurring cycles of war and economic collapse that have shaped history for 600 years.

Morning Manna Bible study class.
I welcome you to this edition of Morning Manna.
Wherever you are in the world, and there are people gathered with us right now at 8 a.m. Eastern time from many nations, and we welcome you.
We are one in Christ, one body, one church, one Savior, one baptism.
We are blessed people.
And we're going to be even more blessed today because we're going to spend an hour studying the Word of God.
And this lesson tells us that when you seek wisdom from God, not only does he give it to you, but he gives it to you abundantly.
More than you asked for.
Amen.
So that's the blessing for us here today.
Let's pray.
Dear Father, all good things come from you.
you father and your wisdom is good your truth is good we are sons and daughters
with our mouths open asking our father to feed us amen build us strengthen us
nourish us with your word that we may go forth into the world proclaiming the
greatness the glory the majesty of your son jesus christ in his name
name Jesus we pray amen amen well good morning everyone we are continuing our study in
matthew chapter 13 today uh we talked about the parable of the soar yesterday and today we're
going to continue that in matthew chapter 13 verses 10 through 13 and i'm reading from the king
james this morning and the disciples came and said unto him why speakest thou unto them in parables
he answered and said unto them because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven
but to them it is not given for whosoever hath to him shall be given and he shall have more abundance
but whosoever hath not from him shall be taken away even that he hath therefore speak i to them in parables
because they see not, in hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
God bless the reading of his word today.
Amen.
Praise God.
Verse 10, and the disciples came and said unto him,
why speaketh thou unto them in parables?
So the disciples approached Jesus privately.
This was away from the crowd, away from the Pharisees,
and questioned him about this sudden change
in his teaching style.
Right.
They were puzzled.
Why was he, you know, we would say you're speaking in riddles.
You know, what's up with this?
Why don't you just tell the people what you mean?
You're doing something different here.
Lord, tell us, we don't understand.
And so their questioning indicates their curiosity, maybe a little bit of confusion about why Jesus suddenly changed his teaching style.
Because this was abrupt.
This was a new form of teaching that the apostles had not seen before.
So, and maybe he had used some parables before,
but this marked the more deliberate extensive use
of this teaching method.
And so their question reflects a recognition of the uniqueness,
the significance of Jesus' change in teaching,
that he was departing from his.
conventional methods um but this also shows us the disciples role as as students seekers
of truth willing to engage with jesus seeking understanding from the teacher
think about this you know and as let's say a college classroom and the professor and the professor
has been teaching the entire class a particular style of teaching for the entire semester and then
suddenly he he teaches he changes his teaching and you know his best students take the professor aside
and go professor what are you doing we don't understand why why are you not giving the entire
class, the understanding of what you're seeking to impart. This doesn't make sense to us.
They weren't arguing with him. It was an honest, genuine desire to understand why Jesus changed his
style. So you've got an audience, so you've got the Pharisees, and then you have an audience
of just ordinary peasants and some of the people were under some of the peasants were understanding
jesus and and the pharisees the educated Pharisees were bewildered and and none of this made
sense to to the apostles so they're asking jesus to clarify help us understand you we discern
you just made a major change in your teaching style and we're asking you to tell us why you did it
is this going to be the the the manner of your teaching from now on if it is we need to understand
so verse 11 he meaning jesus answered and said unto them all right guys you guys you
You want to know, here it is.
Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries
of the kingdom of heaven, but to them, it is not given.
And I can see Jesus pointing to the disciples saying,
it's given unto you men to know.
And then pointing to the Pharisees who were standing
afar off saying, but to them, it's not given.
right so the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven these are the divine revelations of the gospel
which previously were obscure not understood these mysteries were just partially revealed to the
prophets in the ancient economy of god
what we would call the old testament error the prophets had just glimpses into these mysteries but none of them had a full revelation of the of the kingdom of god so when jesus said mysteries he's not talking about what we would call incomprehensible truths about god right
because there are today things that are incomprehensible about God that not going to be revealed
to us in this lifetime not going to happen you know you try to understand who God is
where did he come from how could he have existed forever what was before God what was
before God there was God how could that be see that's never going to be revealed to us
but the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven have been revealed to us that's right that's the key part here
it's the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven that have been revealed not the incomprehensible
mysteries of god himself so understanding these mysteries of the kingdom is granted to those who are
either more advanced in discipleship and can appreciate them or show an interest, a willingness
to advance, a hunger. Every single person in this class right now, you are viewed by God
as a son or daughter who is hungry to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God. Every one of
you. And he sees how much time you've devoted to this Bible study. Look, we're not something
special. I'm talking about morning manna, but we do gather five times a week for an hour.
And I don't know how many other Bible studies do this in the world, but I would think it's a small
number five days a week one hour every day devoted to studying the word of god seeking seeking
understanding of the mysteries of the kingdom and we have i'm just going to say we have the promise
there in verse 11 there that we can know it we can know these mysteries yeah they're not a mystery to us
if we desire to know the answer.
They're not a mystery to us as believers.
Right.
We desire to know the answer.
They're a mystery from, as you said, the old economy.
But he says there, it is given to you to know.
It is given to you to know.
I'm giving you the opportunity to understand this.
Yes.
so if if your mama prepares a wonderful meal and spreads it out on the dinner table
and you never sit down at the table and pick up a fork and scoop out anything in a dish
or a plate whose fault is it I mean she said
here here is the food i have prepared it for you it is given for you to eat but you have to sit down to
the table pick up the fort and scoop the food out of the dishes and the plates and start eating
god's not going to spoon feed this to you but he says it's here it's on the table
and anybody who shows up you can eat all you want
and there's more and you're just going to be more blessed the more you eat the more blessed
you'll become that's the exciting thing that you're going to see in these scriptures the abundance
the prosperity the spiritual prosperity that's promised to disciples who hunger to know the truth
to know the mysteries of the kingdom of god so
parables serve a dual purpose of both revealing and concealing these mysteries
amen they present the truths of the kingdom and a new and attractive light to those who
are hungry for it receptive to spiritual instruction while appearing as
just mere stories fairy tales fables to those who are spiritually insensitive because
that's all it is to to a person that doesn't have spiritual discernment just
that's these are just nice fairy tales fables these are things you read to
children on Sunday they don't have any understanding of it
The capacity to grasp these mysteries is a gift from your heavenly father.
This is one of these principles where it can be challenging to understand.
God says, come and eat, but it's me who gives you the ability to.
to understand our job is to show the initiative to go to the table pick up the fork
his job is to prepare the meal so the capacity to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of
heaven is a gift from god and it's bestowed upon those who are open hungry to receive them
Again, I want to emphasize this.
The ability to understand them is a gift from God.
Yes.
But the desire to understand them must originate in you.
Right.
He's not going to make you hungry.
That's your job.
So the disciples are chosen by Jesus not only to be the first preachers of the gospel,
but also the first to transmit the mysteries to future generations.
Yes.
Now look at this phrase, but to them it is not given.
And again, I can see him pointing to the Pharisees,
standing over there and the crowd that's gathered around the Pharisees, the ones who said that,
well, we've made up our mind. We're with the Pharisees. And he pointed to him. That's what I see.
I see pointing. But to them over there, to that group, it is not given. The term them refers
to those outside the kingdom, outside the circle of discipleship.
who are not granted the privilege of understanding the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven
the concept of being without suggests being outside the sphere of divine revelation spiritual
insight the term mysteries referring
not just to incomprehensible I should say the mysteries does not refer to the
incomprehensible truths of God but to the truths that were once hidden and have
now been revealed but the truth that God has ordained mankind to know yes and I'll
say it again we can know these mysteries we can know them it's not a cloud to us it's
a shadow or anything. That word that is used in this verse, Rick, appears 22 other times in the
New Testament. And each one of those, all the way from this passage in Matthew 13, all the way to
Revelation, where it talks about a mystery, is a mystery that we can know. It's not, and we don't
have to be like colombo in knowing it either okay uh we ought to wait for all the clues to come
together the holy spirit will reveal the mysteries to us through the word of god and so there
there's no excuse for a believer not to know these mysteries
okay think of um think of a uh you know a game for children
You're having a party for children and mom or dad, somebody hides gifts and hides them outside and then tells all the children.
Okay, out here, spread behind trees and bushes and holes and all kinds of things.
there are prizes and there are great things inside there's candy there's money there's toys
go find it and certain children are able to just see them where they're hidden but the other children
are just wandering around can't see anything and under and confused how are they find how are
these other kids they've got a basket full of prizes i don't have anything because the eyes of the
other children were able to see let's let's say they put on they had special glasses that made the
made the the hidden prizes visible this is what god has done for the mysteries of the kingdom of
heaven he's hidden them and then he gives you a pair of glasses
and says, now, if you wear these glasses, you can see them.
But for those that I don't give the glasses to, they can't see them.
Go, go pick them up, gather them up.
They're for you.
I mean, it's a simple analogy, but it's indicative of what our father has done for us.
He wants us to find them.
Yes.
That's the key thing.
he's not a
sick, sadistic, cruel
God. He says,
oh, I'm hiding it from everybody.
Go look for it. No, no.
He's making it visible. He wants you to find it.
But he's made it impossible for others to find it.
Right. And if we ask him, he'll help us find it.
That's the great find.
It's like a little child.
You know, if you've hidden something for a child,
you want them to go find it.
uh depending on their maturity i can just imagine if my little boy sean when and when he was three or
four years old taking me by the hand and help me daddy help me find it help me find it
and so it's not like you said god's not up there sadistically waiting i wish rick and doc would
hurry up and find this figure out this mystery i put out there no he'll he'll take us and
show us the mystery and show us where the answer is
That's my prayer every morning when I start my lessons.
As I'm preparing, Lord show me things that I've not seen before.
That's why it's so fun to teach morning manna.
I'm finding hidden things before I even get to you at 8 a.m.
I've already been blessed by the time I get to you at 8 a.m.
Because he's revealed to me between 4 a.m. and
here's some things you never saw before Rick and it just makes me excited about tomorrow I'm
going to find some more things tomorrow so God himself remains incomprehensible
because he reveals himself without revealing everything there is to know about him
yes deuteronomy 29 verse 29 the secret things belong to the lord our god but the things that are revealed
belong to us and to our children forever yes so what are the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven
i'm going to give you a partial list this isn't a complete list it is the cross the virgin
birth of Jesus, the cross, the crucifixion, the resurrection, the concept of the Trinity,
the new birth of water and spirit, redemption, justification, the future judgment by the
son of man, the authority of the son of man to forgive sins, the extension of the gospel
of salvation to Gentiles, the end of the Jewish polity, opening up salvation to all mankind,
the baptism of the Holy Spirit, new understandings of Old Testament principles about the Sabbath,
fasting, prayer, almsgiving. These are all included in the mysteries of the kingdom of God. Unknown to people,
until this time so understanding these truths is not the result of human
effort or intellect but it's a gift of God's grace and it's given according to
his sovereign will you can have an individual man or woman who intellectually
and educationally is below another person and yet the man or woman with
less intellect, lower IQ, less education,
has more understanding of the mysteries of God
than the person with the high IQ greatly educated.
Yes.
Because it's a gift from God.
So the Pharisees and the other Jews
were not prepared to receive these truths
because they had misconceptions about the Messiah
and God's kingdom.
and their religious misconceptions blinded them.
So the privilege is bestowed upon the disciples to understand the mysteries of the kingdom
because it's a manifestation of God's grace and election.
It's not based on any merit or worthiness on the part of the person.
God is sovereign.
He bestows his grace and reveals his truth according.
to His divine purpose and plan.
Verse 12,
for whosoever hath
to him shall be given
and he shall have more abundance.
But whosoever hath not
from him shall be taken away
even that he hath.
So Jesus explains to his disciples
that they are
recipients of God's grace and thus more will be given to them as a display of God's kindness
and his continual work in their lives. The abundance of divine favor demonstrates God's commitment
to completing the work of salvation in the lives of each believer. He's polishing us continually until we
reached perfection in his eyes and so we have this inexhaustible supply of god's rich grace and it ensures each of us that we
will always be enriched and never left wanting but he warns the reprobate he warns those who lack faith
that they will experience continual decline,
even losing what little they already appear to have.
Right.
The phrase, whosoever hath to him shall be given,
obviously implies spiritual growth,
but it mirrors worldly prosperity,
where financial,
financial success tends to breed more financial success right so we're seeing there's a there's a
kingdom principle why do why do certain people just seem to be getting richer and richer
because that which has been given to them more shall be given it's a principle it's a
kingdom principle many of those rich people in the world today they
are gaining spiritually they may be lost but financially they're gaining because
there's a heavenly principle in effect so what does it what does it gain a man's
if a man gains the whole world and loses a soul what profit is it so you use the
principle in this life to get rich
but you never got rich for the next life yes so what jesus is teaching here is the principle
that those who make use of god's light grace and opportunities will receive even more
there are opportunities that come our way that we either recognize them seize it run with it
or we miss it and you know personally i i can look back over my lifetime and i see opportunities
that i missed that i know now that was god working in my life and i didn't act on it yes
and the more that you don't act on opportunities god sends your way the fewer and far between
the next opportunity will come.
The opportunities will decrease
and they'll be spread farther apart.
You'll eventually get to the point
where you're saying, God, if you send me one more opportunity,
I promise you, I promise you I'm going to do this one.
I'll tell you true story.
I'm not going to go into details.
That businessman from Oklahoma came to see us one
when we were living in Texas, he was making a lot of promises to us of what he was going
to do for our ministry. And I mean, he was, he was blowing smoke. But one day, he came over
to the house to pick me up to take me somewhere. And when I got in his SUV, the Holy Spirit
said, say to him, this is your last,
opportunity to get it right and i spoke it to him and he looked at me and he said why did you say
that i said that's what the holy spirit told me to say to you well what do you mean by that i have
no idea what do you think it is and he clamped up he didn't talk he knew what it was
he knew what it was and you know what what
didn't get it right he had put god had put that man in my life he was supposed to do a great
blessing for our ministry and he failed to do it he made promises to god god if you do this this
and this for me in this business this is what i'm going to do for this ministry but when that
happened he didn't do it yes he didn't keep his vow
And what the Lord spoke to me that day was, you tell him, this is your last opportunity to get it right.
I don't know what happened to that man afterwards.
I've never saw him.
After, you know, I mean, a couple months later, he disappeared.
Never saw him.
I have no idea what happened to it.
I just know, I seriously doubt if he ever got another heaven-sent opportunity.
to prosper right he had to work by the sweat of his brow so those who fail to
utilize or improve upon what they have will likely have it taken away and this
includes the withdrawal of spiritual blessings opportunities for growth access to
the means of grace the Jews at that time had ample opportunities to learn the
truth from Jesus but they squandered them due to their blindness and worldly
desires it was therefore just and right that they should be deprived of the
light and understanding that they had neglected
jesus told him later the kingdom shall be taken from you and given to another people and it was
it was they he god took the kingdom from them this is what the christian zionists don't understand
god took the kingdom from the jews yes they at one time were the chosen people they're not now
it individually individual Jews can get back inside the kingdom but corporately as a
race no they lost it but the disciples of Christ were given superior knowledge though they
may have been slow to fully grasp it but they diligently work to improve upon it
The promise to them was that their understanding would be greatly increased because of their stewardship of what had already been given to them.
The phrase, and he shall have more abundance.
Yes.
The Greek word indicates surplus more than you need.
Yes. Above and beyond, what goes further, surpasses, abounds, abundance. These are all great words.
It's the same word that was used when, in the feeding of the 5,000, and the fragments were picked up after everyone ate, and that same word is used for the
fragments it was it was also abundance as well and so I thought that was
interesting it was overflowing the baskets were overflowing from the
collection of the fragments after the feeding of the 5,000 very same word
yeah they they weren't picking up bones and crust no and I think that's
what a lot of people think they gathered up the bones and the crust
no they gathered up whole fish and whole loaves yes it was abundant the phrase from him
shall be taken away even that he has it it highlights a harsh consequence of
neglecting your spiritual growth and this is
This is a principle all of us should take seriously.
The penalties for those who lack spiritual wealth is that even what little they have will be taken away from them.
You might not even be aware of it.
I think it happened gradually over time.
People don't become apostate overnight.
therefore they don't become spiritually bankrupt overnight right it's sort of like strength and weakness
you know you you if you work out on a regular basis you gain strength you know muscle
you know muscle and and everything else it goes along with that if you don't do it then what do
you gain you gain weakness yes that's what's increasing uh it's it's uh you know the principle
you're gaining strength on one side but if you don't uh exercise you're gaining weakness so
it's so every bodybuilder and everybody that goes to a gym everybody who works out knows
that as you build up your muscles if you stop
working out eventually those muscles that you worked and labored to get will go
away they have to be used and that's the principle that Jesus is teaching us
the the penalty for those who do not pursue spiritual wealth is that they
lose the little bit that they have the the Greek verb for
shall be taken away it it implies a loss or deprivation and it means a spiritual regression you're going
backwards you're losing ground you're not see it's one thing to say you're not going to go forward
anymore you're just going to remain stationary stable in place that's no it says you're going to go in
reverse you're going to lose what you gained so despite having physical ears to
hear the people who don't have spiritual ears will not understand the mysteries of
the kingdom and what little knowledge and understanding that they have will will
dissipate, it'll evaporate. And they probably won't even be aware of the loss until
judgment day. So it's teaching us the importance of actively engaging with the opportunities for
spiritual growth that God sends our ways. And again, I commit.
the people who are gathering with us five days a week on Morning Manas. Some of you have been
here since we began. And I know there are times you can't be here because of interruptions
or schedules, but we do make the archives as available. So you can listen to it later in
the day, catched up with the class. But you're actively engaging.
with the opportunity to learn what's the opportunity well god raised up faith and values and
said here i'm going to give you a platform i'm going to give you two bible teachers i'm going to
make this easy to understand here's your opportunity that's right and it's the
Look, I know there are Bible teachers out there who know a lot more than me.
I'm just doing the best I can do.
But I'm growing.
I know more about the Word of God today than I did one year ago.
I know more today than I knew yesterday.
because I'm continually growing, never satisfied, never willing to stay, you know, to be
complacent with what I know, always knowing there's more to know.
So, in the context, in the context,
context of spiritual wisdom those who possess even a small amount of understanding
can gain more and those who have spiritual knowledge but stop seeking more can
lose what they have yes again there's either a progression you're moving
forward you're progressing or you're regressing there's no middle
ground and even if you're standing still you're going backwards yes that's
right you know you think about those people movers in airports you're
either going forward toward the departure gate or it's in reverse taking you
backwards well I'm trying to get to the departure gate because I plan to
depart when the Lord comes back I plan to meet him in the air so let's summarize
verse 12 there's a principle regarding the growth of grace and spiritual
understanding. It states that those who possess true grace and spiritual knowledge will receive
more grace and more knowledge. The increase in grace and knowledge leads to a greater abundance of
spiritual blessings, meaning spiritual light, knowledge, experience. The person who possesses this
genuine grace will continue to grow in the knowledge of Christ and be led by the spirit into
deeper truths your spiritual life will be characterized by an ever-increasing
richness and fullness a gift of God's grace but conversely those who show no
interest in understanding these spiritual truths will experience loss
verse 13 therefore speak eyes
to them in parables because they seeing see not because they seeing see not and hearing
they hear not neither do they understand the introduction of the parables
was a major shift in Jesus' teaching style that coincided with the Pharisees accusing him
of performing miracles by the power of satan yes therefore jesus shifted gears
and he declared that his heavenly father would deliberately conceal the mysteries of the kingdom
from the people who chose to be spiritually blind and deaf right you know
oh i'm sorry well let me finish one line let me finish with one line despite seeing the miracles
and hearing the truth the pharisees blaspheme the holy spirit therefore god locked the door
and block them from entering the kingdom yes their blasphemy could not be forgiven
okay doc that's well uh well i was going to add the
is a couple of commentators made the suggestion that in one way Jesus making the shift
in teaching to parables was actually an act of mercy to those whose hearts were being hardened
by the direct teaching and so in order to prevent their hearts from or even more people
in their hearts being hardened because of the influence of the scribes and Pharisees
that this shift to the parable teaching encouraged more of people wanting to seek answers
rather than just like the scribes and Pharisees, they would just say,
this is the way, and it's my way or the highway, basically.
But would Jesus, the parables give an opportunity for mercy so people's hearts don't get further hardened?
That's interesting.
I hadn't thought about that before, but in several commentators brought that up.
And I thought, well, that's interesting.
Because in a parable, what do you have to do?
You have to either just ignore the parable or you have to get engaged with it and start thinking about it.
Well, what is that seed?
What's the seed that he's talking about there?
Who's the sewer that he's talking about?
What is the wayside?
the wayside what what are those things and it causes the hearers to get engaged in it and rather
than just either being polarized by a direct message that's a that's a you know i've never
thought of that doc um it's close to something i put in my notes this morning that that the
obscurity of the parables had a twofold purpose uh first
It was a form of divine retribution for the lack of earnestly seeking and understanding the principles.
But secondly, and this goes with what you just said, it prevented the escalation of hostility.
Right.
it shielded people from immediate rejection or antagonism right it's a so if what you just said it that
means that there jesus had a strategic shift actually to protect people that didn't understand
but he knew had the capability of understanding right
that's interesting um so the people who uh rejected they voluntarily refused to engage with the teachings
of jesus and that led to moral incapacity to comprehend deeper spiritual truths and their
persistent rejection of divine revelation resulted in spiritual blindness and deafness.
See, it's not just rejecting one time.
It's a persistent pattern of rejecting the truth.
That's what leads to spiritual blindness and deftness.
You know, don't be afraid that you're going to miss something one time.
and that's going to and God's going to lock the door no he doesn't do it like that
it's it's when he sees a consistent pattern when he sees your heart is hardening
when you're going the opposite direction that he's trying to get you to go
remember his his mercy is always mercy always triumphs judgment yes always always
His scales always tilt towards mercy.
Praise God.
Thank God it does.
He wants to make mercy work.
Judgment's the last thing he wants to do.
People who are judged themselves.
So Jesus is telling us there's a veil spread over the spiritually blind.
He's talking about people who choose.
not to perceive the truth they've got physical sight they could see him
performing miracles they had physical ears they could hear him teach spiritual
truth and yet they remained in darkness it was a choice so Jesus attributes
this disparity in spiritual understanding to the secret purposes of God.
And he doesn't give us a specific understanding for it.
He just acknowledges that there's a good reason for it.
Amen.
Trust the plan.
That's all I say.
Trust the plan.
Our father has a plan.
Trust it.
So there exists a fixed law in divine administration
where individuals who persistently refuse
to fulfill their spiritual duty eventually
become morally incapable of doing so.
The phrase, that seeing that they might not see,
I mean, it implies a punitive action.
Right.
It's, this is, there's a punishment.
So those who reject the truth persistently are then further entrenched in their spiritual ignorance.
The most difficult people to reach with the gospel are religious people.
Amen.
That includes everything from
cults, you know, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witness,
Harry Krishna, Hinduism, Islam, whatever it is, Judaism.
But it also goes into those who on the surface
identify as Christian, but they really committed to a religion.
Wow, yes.
and they're difficult to reach with the truth um talk we got let's see what about
nine minutes okay so I don't know where at the last minute at the last minute
before coming out here I threw in this scripture from Isaiah Isaiah 66
17 now the King James version reads like this they that sanctify themselves
and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the mist eating swines
flesh and the abomination and the mouse shall be consumed together saith the
Lord however there are there are other Bible translations
and they translate it like this again this is Isaiah 6617 all who enter the sacred groves for initiation in those unholy rituals that climaxed in the foul and obscene meal of pigs and mice will eat together and then die together wow verse verse 18 I know everything they've ever done or thought I'm going to come
and then gather everyone, all nations, all languages, they'll come and see my glory.
Where I'm going with this is the esoteric religions and the secret societies, they have initiations.
In Freemasonry, the initiation is to open up your so-called third eye.
right to see what hidden mysteries secrets yes secrets but these are not secrets of god that the masons think
they're seeing god's mysteries but this principle is in um it's in cabala it's in um it's in um all the
religions that are seeking hidden secret knowledge and they have initiations that
supposedly open up this closed eye that you have and suddenly you can see what
are they trying to show you that the tree of the knowledge of good and evil yes so
listen to this again Isaiah 6617 from from an alternative interpretation all
who enter the sacred groves for initiation in those unholy rituals
the first thing that comes to me is Bohemian Grove
Republican Party leaders in this country that gather every summer in California in a
sacred grove the Bohemian Grove for initiation and participate in unholy rituals
yes what are they doing they're seeking hidden knowledge yes to rule the world
and god says i know everything you've done i know there works and i'm coming and i'm going to gather
everyone all nations all languages they'll come and see my glory what's his glory his son
he's going to he's going to reveal his glory by sending his son back to earth and everybody who's
ever been initiated into a secret society everybody who's had their third eye open
they're going to see the glory of god they're going to see the son of man in the sky
the only thing that's glowing the son of man because all all the light and the universe is going
to go out the sun the moon the stars every eye shall see him how he's the only thing glowing
of God embodied in his son. Amen. And on that day, he's going to say to everyone who comes out
of the graves, all of the unsaved, everybody that joined the secret society, I know everything you did,
I know everything you thought. Take a look at my glory. What do you think now? So,
powerful men and women going into secret groves for initiation participating in
unholy rituals for the purpose of receiving and understanding secret
knowledge Babylonian knowledge and these are many of the people that are
running the world running nations
but on a reverse the creator the god who made the universe says i'm making my secret knowledge
available to anyone who wants to seek my son it's here come and get it have all you
want if you're hungry if you're thirsty for my knowledge come and get it
it's only secret to those who are not in my kingdom yes but if you're in my kingdom it's out in the
open come and gather all you desire and come back tomorrow i'll give you more and and when my
son comes back and and you come out of the grave i will know everything that you did and everything that you
thought praise god and you will see my glory that's the promise god is giving us and you know the
promises is doc is for this life and the and the life to come but he's giving us wisdom that we need
for this life to make the right decisions to choose the right spouse to choose the right career to
know how to navigate through life he's giving us the wisdom it's abundant it's not hidden it's there
for the asking in this isn't i can't give you a biblical verse i know that wisdom stands in the
streets in the morning crying out anybody anybody want wisdom but i imagine that in the morning
God opens up his treasure boxes
and they're just sparkling with gyms
and he says here it is
you want some come and get it
and then he closes it
and then the next morning he opens it up again
it's a new day my treasures are open
anybody want my treasures come and get them
that's what you're doing with morning manna
you're showing up saying yes yes i desire your treasures there's nothing wrong with desiring the
treasures of god it's right it's right it brings abundance in your life prosperity
overflowing if you're having financial problems load up on wisdom load up on the
principles of the kingdom the financial problems will go away it's all in the it's
everything that we need is inside the mysteries of God and he's telling us come and get it
it's for your benefit come and get it okay all right we'll pick up tomorrow yeah dinner's ready
