NTRODUCTIONS: In these messages we will be looking at a number of the latter parables of Jesus as given in the Gospel of Matthew. He gave these just shortly before He was apprehended and crucified. Some years ago we covered the parables of Matthew 13, which I believe gives a prophetical overview of the kingdom of heaven. Lord willing, we will be looking at what the phrase ‘kingdom of heaven’ or ‘kingdom of God’ means in the next message. Now, parables are a figure of speech. And I mentioned in the last message that a figure of speech is a purposeful deviation from normal speech for a specific purpose. We looked at Matthew 13:10-15, where Jesus referred to Isaiah’s prophecy where he said, “Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, and seeing you shall see and not perceive; for the heart of this people has grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their heart and turn, so that I should heal them.”
