The Parable of the Householder is addressed to Christ's disciples, and beyond them, to God's ministers, whom Jesus wants to feed His flock a balanced spiritual diet.

God makes the New Covenant with individuals. The implementation of the New Covenant is incremental, beginning in 31 AD and continuing through the Millennium.

God has called individuals with different temperaments, giving them a variety of spiritual gifts to work interdependently within Christ's Body.

The transfiguration prefigured the Kingdom of God, with the disciples only seeing Jesus in the end, showing salvation is through Him alone.

The first and last words of Jesus Christ in the book of John are to 'follow Me,' directed at His disciples then and now.

God's called-out ones must not stop testing, retesting, proving, and reproving all things, even though we may think they have proved everything already.

We will be kings and priests, responsible for those coming out of the tribulation. We must prepare now to fill the entire earth with the knowledge of God.

The events in Matthew 24 parallel the six seals of Revelation 6 and the seventh seal of Revelation 7, showing a definite chronological progression.

We must invest as much energy into understanding the messages as went into preparing them, regardless of the idiosyncrasies of those delivering them.
