Why Jesus taught with parables?

[7angel]

Jesus taught with parables and speaking in Aramaic.

Why then try to clarify the scriptures through the Greek grammar?

The Greek is just a translation of what was said in another language.

Try to understand the Spirit of the parables, the spirit of the letter also visions or dreams.
The visions and dreams are not words, there is no grammar, but contain messages from God.

In the Bible there are many examples, it would be a great contribution if you explains.

I am not sure about the language issue, but the best description of the parables that I have heard is basically this: they are "coded" messages from Jesus about the nature of the Kingdom of Heaven - and by Kingdom of Heaven, Jesus is not referring to "the place you go when you die".

The parables are ways to tell the people "how God is becoming King". They are not accounts of what life will be like in a later existence in Heaven. And they are not totally abstract and timeless either - they can have political significance for the specific people to whom they were delivered. For example, I believe that the older brother in the account of the prodigal son probably represents the Pharisees who reject Jesus' description of how the Kingdom is coming into being.

 

[7angel]

What the Spirit reveals.

It's in the book of the apocalypse

"And 24 elders cast his crown in front of who sits on the throne.

How do you understand?

 

[Toms777]

Matt 13:10-17
10 And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?" 11 He answered and said to them, "Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:

'Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not perceive;
15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.'

16 "But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
NKJV

I said this: Why then try to clarify the scriptures through the Greek grammar?
As someone could explain this vision grammatically? In any language work most effectively?

REVELATION
4 Surrounding the throne I saw twenty-four other thrones on which twenty-four elders 4 sat, dressed in white garments and with gold crowns on their heads.
10 the twenty-four elders fall down before the one who sits on the throne and worship him, who lives forever and ever. They throw down their crowns before the throne, exclaiming:

Anyone who knows their meaning, can explain in simple language that knows.:

The vision states: 24 elders, an elder for each hour of the day, referring to the time, ..Time wield power over men and all things
But this time power over men and things, it was conquered by Jesus
Because in eternal life no longer makes sense.
The 24 elders without their power throwing their crowns before the Lord.

I try to contribute not looking debate,

Why Jesus taught with parables?

Also
There are people who ask evidence to believe and forget to use their own intelligence, for they have no interest in what God gives them.

There are other people trying to seduce with fine words to be believed, why not tell the truth.


It takes effort on our part to overcome.
We must study, and seek , and pray for understanding.



The truth Spirit is with us


God bless

Matthew 13:10 "And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?"

Matthew 13:11 "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."

What is a mystery? It is something that is unknown. The answer may be in plain sight, only if you cannot put all the details together, and take all the clues and give an understanding to them, you do not know. There are things dealing with the kingdom of heaven that seem foolish to mankind, and will always remain hidden, unless the Spirit of the Living God reveals them to you.

Today, because those things are mysteries, mankind is going to great lengths to understand the past, when all the time it is written in His Word. However, those truths cannot be understood because it is God that has blinded them for their own protection. Why would this be? Because if they had the understanding, and were tried by the Antichrist Satan, and his system, (which is coming shortly), they would not have the ability to stand against Satan. They lack faith and willpower to turn themselves over completely to the Holy Spirit. They just don't care, and they continue to live in a state of hopelessness.

Matthew 13:12 "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."

What are we talking about here? The Word of God! If a certain amount is given to you, can you sow it, and replant it in someone's mind? If you do not sow the Word of God in another persons mind, then God will take the understanding that He has given you, and and He will allow you to become deceived in the ways of the world, just as if you never received the Word in the first place. If you have a truth, share it with someone else, or you will lose it.

Matthew 13:13 "Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand."

Matthew 13:14 "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:"

This was prophesied by Isaiah in Isaiah 6:9, 10; "And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. [9] Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.[10]."

Our Heavenly Father has sent us His Son, and He performed many great miracles in their sight, and yet these blind and dumb scribes and Pharisees, after seeing and hearing Christ with His many wonderful acts yelled out, "show us a sign". Though they saw with their eyes and heard with their ears, they understood nothing that was going on around them. Their minds were closed, and they perceived nothing. Jesus is saying it here, Paul said it later, and the prophet Isaiah said it five hundred years prior to Jesus Christ's birth; "these people" are in a stupor. We will find out later who "these people" are with the "fat hearts", or thick minds.

Matthew 13:15 " 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 should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."

Jesus gave us many prophesies and rich teachings, as He walked upon the earth, and all the time these scribes and Pharisees, stumbling after Christ missed the whole thing. It's like they went to the ball game, and were more concerned with the lead in the paint on the scoreboard, then the score posted. It was written long ago, many times, by the prophets, and in the sky that the Messiah would come, and when He came He performed the prophesies, and performed the miracles so that those with eyes to see and ears to hear would understand.

God didn't close their eyes, they closed them themselves, then God sent the stupor. They made the choice, and then God acted on their choice. This is also what will happen again very shortly. Those who choose to study and know the truth will be sealed in their minds with the understanding of God and His prophecies of the end times, And those who choose to believe Satan's lies, God will send them into a stupor, and they will be deceived.

We do not know for certain what language Jesus used when speaking parables. Most likely it was Aramaic. The original aramaic is not the point of inspired scripture. When the scipture was written the original languages of the scriptures were Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Ezra, Nehemiah, Daniel Chapters 1,8-12 were written in Aramaic, most of the OT was written in Hebrews. Much of the Hebrew was recorded in what is called paleo-hebrew. The main MSS that have come to us in paleo-hebrews are in the DSS in the book of Leviticus. Most of the Hebrew MSS are in the modern Jewish script.

The language spoken by Jesus is not the point because it is the writings of the NT that were inspired by the HS. That was in the language of kione greek.

 

[7angel]

This is the point:


Why then try to clarify the scriptures through the Greek grammar? When scripture is understood only through the Holy Spirit.


When the Lord speaks to us, it does so in our native language, English, Spanish. French, German even Greek. All through the Holy Spirit.

God bless
