general and 13 kingdom of heaven parables
Parable #5 - “NEW WINE INTO OLD
BOTTLES”
Matthew 9:17; Mark 2:22; Luke 5:37-38
The 5th general parable of 28
BACKGROUND:
In
445BC, with one Bible week equating to seven years (a prophetic
year being 360 days), God commanded that seventy weeks each of 7
years, would be determined upon Israel, that is … 70 weeks x 7
years = 490 years (Daniel 9:24-27).
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.
DANIEL 9:24-27
“NEW WINE OLD BOTTLES” Luke 5:33-36,37-39
33 And they said unto him, Why do
the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the
disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink? 34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the
children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? 35 But
the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and
then shall they fast in those days. 36 And he spake also a parable unto
them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then
both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth
not with the old. 37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the
new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. 39 No man
also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is
better. (Luke 5:33-39)
Christ had come with his new ‘wine’ of the Sermon
on the Mount (Matthew chapters 5-70 … but certain groups would violently
resist.
All of Israel were invited to Christ’s spiritual
wedding feast … to believe the new constitution being the Sermon on the Mount …
but Moses’ Pharisees and the followers of John the Baptist would reject their
invitation … refusing to attend and believe … preferring to fast (Luke 5:33).
You see, only those that agreed that Christ was to
be their Messiah … indeed bridegroom … would come to his spiritual ‘wedding’
and spiritually drink of Christ by receiving and believing his kingdom of
heaven doctrine of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7).
PART 2: Christ
being ‘taken away and Israel fasting’ (Luke 5: 35) covers three
time periods … and they are:
