Yehshua always spoke in parables publicly. Matthew 13:34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them without a parable, so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world."He did this on purpose so they would not understand. Matthew 13:10-17 And the disciples said to Him, Why do You speak to them in parables? He answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them. For whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance. But whoever does not have, from him shall be taken away even that which he has. Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not; nor do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which said, "By hearing you shall hear and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see and shall not perceive; for this people's heart has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, 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."But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard them. Yehshua spoke about the 5 Foolish Virgins in a parable. Matthew 25:11-13 Afterwards the other virgins came also, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Truly I say to you, I do not know you.Therefore watch, for you do not know either the day or the hour in which the Son of Man comes.The expression "No Man Knows the Day or the Hour" is what Yehshua was speaking about in the previous chapter, Matthew 24:36 and here He is using it in this parable again.This is what most Christians use to dismiss any and all end-time prophecies as being false teachings. They do not realize it was a parable meant to say something and hide the truth from those whose hearts have grown stupid which is what that word 'gross' means.Yehshua was telling the foolish they would not and could not know the day or the hour and at the same time telling the wise the precise time He would return on.The question is which one are you?Order the book and find out which one you are and learn how to change from being a foolish virgin to one of the 5 Wise Virgins.Order the book so you never have to hear the words, I never knew you.
