An explanation of the parables

it the Word of God, be able to understand all the
mysteries there, when they do not pretend to weigh
it with the beginning, to judge how the ending
must come? But this, I tell you, like your history,
there are many professors of religion who look to
my Gospel the record of Christ's life and teaching, but do not think it right to read through
all the Scriptures; as they judge there are many
things that are but histories of the Jews, histories of
the Kings, that are not profitable for man to read,
without knowing for what ends all these things
stand on record, which I have explained to you,
were Types and Shadows of the End; and so are the
parables that you cannot bear; and the very parable you most despised is the deepest warning to
mankind See page 89 of the book titled "What Manner of Communications are these.": for like the lady were the Jews, who
mocked ME, when I told them of their dangers; and
like the lady they went on, till destruction came
upon them, and every warning was slighted by them:
and now look around you, and discern the same; I
have given warning upon warning, I threatened the
nations abroad that my severity would begin there,
that you may see the truth of my words, before I
bring the fatal stroke at home; and these things,
that have happened abroad, are warnings to your
Nation, as the sound of the horn was to the lady, if
all my Warnings are despised, and all my Love
abused, and all is mocked by man, as she mocked
the warning: such may fear a sudden surprise, as the
sudden surprise came upon her; for like her must
the world be, if all my love be despised by them,
all my mercies and goodness be slighted by them,
for ME to come and complete their happiness, if they
wish to unite their hearts to ME. Let them know
my promises are great; but if my love be despised,
when all is laid before them, let them know the sentence is just, if I come to act like man; and like
man they must acknowledge I have acted in ages
