“A
KING MAKING WAR”
Luke
14:25-28,29-32,33-35
The
20th of 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.
Matthew 24:30
Luke
14:31-34,35
Or
what king, going to make war against another
king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with
ten
thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or
else,
while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and
desireth
conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that
forsaketh not
all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Salt is good: but if
the salt
have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? It is
neither fit
for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that
hath ears
to hear, let him hear.
Lesson:
Very
similar to Parable #33 of “Building a Tower”
If
the salt has lost its saltiness, wherewith shall
the food be seasoned. The salt is then useless. Throw it out!
Christ
was speaking under the kingdom of heaven
dispensation, whereby some walked away as they had not counted the cost
for
following him (John 6:66) … they had lost their saltiness.
Like
today many Pastors have lost their saltiness,
and merely go through the motions to get their money. The congregation
are not being
seasoned! Sound doctrine and all that!
Yes
… it all gets a bit too hard … and indeed …
many crash off the highway into the bushes.
In
common language … “biting off more than you
can chew!”.
Lessons:
1.
Under the
dispensation of Christ and his kingdom of heaven, the message was very
clear …
it will cost you your life … literally … it was to cost everything.
2.
Following
Paul and not Matthew 5-7 … the sermon on the mount … will cost you
dearly with
Christian churches and their man-made constitutions … yes … the ‘good
godly’
King James Bible using lot … oh yes! … many are saved … but not within
a bull’s
roar of sound doctrine.
It
will cost you dearly … friends, reputation and
so on … count the cost … or just maybe you will be quiet and walk away
like the
John Six Sixty Sixers!
