“THE
FAITHFUL AND WISE STEWARD”
Luke
12:42-45,46-48
The
17th
of the 28 general parables
This
time frame is broken into four time periods of (a) 7 weeks
+ (b)
62 weeks + (c) the mystery church age of about
2,000 years +
(d) 1 week = 70 weeks and is explained as follows:
#1. Seven
weeks of years is 7 x 7 = 49 years … the time it takes
to restore
and build Jerusalem from 445BC to 396BC.
#2. Sixty
two weeks of years is 62 x 7 = 434 years … the time
from the
building of Jerusalem in 396BC to Christ being cut off at the cross in
32AD.
#3. The
church age of approximately 2,000 years
#4. One
week of years is 1 x 7 = 7 years … this is the seven
years of
tribulation of God’s wrath upon the earth, that takes place after the
rapture …
called Daniel’s 70th week.
Luke
12:42-45,46-48
Then
Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable
unto us, or even to all? And
the
Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his
lord
shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat
in due
season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall
find so
doing. Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over
all that
he hath. But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth
his
coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens,
and to eat
and drink, and to be drunken; The lord of that servant will come in
a day
when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and
will cut
him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
And that
servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither
did
according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that
knew not,
and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few
stripes. For
unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required:
and to
whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
The above
follows on from Luke 12:35-38,39-40.
The
application of this parable is similar to parable #29
Today’s
application:
Under
the kingdom of God dispensation of Paul, there are rewards for work.
Dear
Christian Reader, before the rapture, hand out tracts, give money to
missions,
study sound word, doctrine and dispensations, join a prayer group,
witness to
others … do something for the Lord before the rapture!
Everybody
has been given something to do (Romans 4:12-15,16-19,20-21; Romans chapters 12-15)
