Scriptures are taken from the American Standard Version (ASV) because of its faithfulness to the ancient manuscripts and Bible Numerics, a system designed by God for proving authenticity. We have departed from the ASV only in the name Jehovah and Lord Je- hovah which we replaced with Lord and Lord God, respectively. Neither represents the original YHWH but Lord is less confusing to many and we did not want this to distract from the teaching. Numerics is a system designed into the Bible by God to prove authentic- ity. The Greeks and Hebrews used their letters for numbers. Therefore, the whole Bible is also written in numbers which show perfect patterns as long as the God-inspired original words are not departed from. It mathemati- cally proves the original text and where it has been added to or taken away from. The Numeric English New Testament (NENT) is based on the nu- meric pattern and is quoted from when necessary.

Thank you for joining us and we ask our Father to bless your eyes and ears today as I share a revelation with you concerning the love that God has for His New Testament spiritual Israel, His beloved spiritual Israel. Many people don’t understand this and they’re missing out on so much because they think that God tried but failed to bring natural Israel into the Kingdom at the time of Jesus. They think that now we are in Plan B because Plan A didn’t work. Folks, if you know anything about the Word, you know that God doesn’t have a Plan B. We’re still in Plan A. (Eph.1:11) In whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will. God works all things after the counsel of His own will, so what we’re seeing from the be- ginning of the creation until now is all in God’s plan. It’s all predestined. Jesus was the Lamb slain from the founda- tion of the world. (Rev.13:8) And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, every one whose name hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain. Before Adam ever fell, the Lord knew that there needed to be a Savior and He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, which means, of course, He knew from the very beginning that we were coming down this road. This is not an accident. First, let me point out something to you. (Mat.13:10) And the disciples came, and said unto him (Jesus), Understanding the Parable 7 Why speakest thou unto them in parables? (11) And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. (12) For whoso- ever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. (13) Therefore speak I to them in parables; because see- ing they see not, and hearing they hear not, nei- ther do they understand. The Lord didn’t want those people to understand the depth of His parables. He didn’t want the Pharisees, Sadducees and any people who catered to them to understand what He was saying. You may think that speaking in parables was a new thing when Jesus came along, but actually, the whole Old Testament is parables and it was speaking to a people who, by and large, didn’t understand what the Lord was saying. In the New Testa- ment, Paul speaks of the time when God’s people came out of Egypt. (1Co.10:1) For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; (2) and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; (3) and did all eat the same spiritual food; (4) and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ. And then they had their tri- als and their tribulations in the wilderness, and so on and so forth. What does God say about all this that happened to His Old Covenant people? (1Co.10:11) Now these things happened unto them by way of example.... The word “example” here is the Greek tupos, which means “figure” or “pattern” or “form.” In other words, it’s a “type,” 8 Beloved Spiritual Israel it’s a “parable.” (1Co.10:11) These things happened unto them by way of example (or a “parable”); and they were written for our admonition upon whom the ends of the ages are come. This is saying that the parables the Old Covenant people enacted were for us in the “ends of the ages.” When Paul spoke this, he was in an end of an age. He was in the end of the Covenant of the Jews and now here we are again, in another end of the age. We’re at the end of the Gentiles’, or the Church’s, Cove- nant. So the parables that the Jews enacted in their lives were written for us. The types and shadows were written for us. It’s a sad thing that the overwhelming majority of God’s people, who only see the letter, are missing out on most of the Bible. Most of what has been written to them in the Spirit cannot be seen because it was written in parables. And why was it written in parables? It was written in par- ables because “Unto you it is given to know the myster- ies of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.” You see, God hides “the mysteries of the Kingdom” in par- ables; He hides them in types and shadows, so that He is the only One Who can reveal them to whomsoever He will. (Rev.2:17) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that over- cometh, to him will I give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it. He says to those who overcome, He will give to eat of the hidden manna, and in this Word is a “hidden manna.” In this Word is a manna that is hid- den from those people who are not worthy to understand. In Jesus’ day, there was a multitude of ministers, a mul- Understanding the Parable 9 titude of Pharisees, Sadducees and people who respected them and their ways, but they were blinded and not able to partake of what Jesus came to reveal.
