The Parables of Jesus: Covert Communication from the King - Grace and Knowledge Series, #7

The Parables of Jesus: Covert Communication from the King is the seventh installment in the Grace and Knowledge Series and offers a fresh, dispensational perspective on the parables of Jesus. Often misunderstood, these powerful teachings were not meant to be the foundation of church doctrine or moral lessons, but were directed specifically to Israel during Jesus' earthly ministry.

In this book, you will discover how Jesus' parables reveal the mystery phase of His Kingdom—a period between His rejection by Israel and His future return. When Israel rejected Jesus as their Messiah, He began using parables to conceal the truth from the unbelieving crowds while revealing it to His disciples. These parables were designed to harden the hearts of those who rejected Him, while simultaneously offering deeper insights to those who accepted Him in faith.

The teachings in this book emphasize that the parables were not intended for Church doctrine, nor are they moral allegories. They reveal the unfolding Kingdom program of God, which will see its ultimate fulfillment during the Tribulation period after the Church is raptured. At that time, the parables will gain new emphasis, as the 144,000 Jewish evangelists and God's two witnesses will use them to call Israel and the nations to repentance.

Each parable is explained through a dispensational lens, clarifying its historical and prophetic significance. The appendix includes a comprehensive list of all the parables of Jesus in Gospel order, along with full explanations, plus a collection of Old Testament parables and other literary devices used by Jesus such as metaphors, similes, and allegories.
