I believe Paul saw the same things you are being given to see and share. : 1 Cor 2 : 9 But as it is written, Eye has not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which god has prepared for them that love Him. 10. But God HAS REVEALED THEM TO US by His Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things even the deep things of God.
Peace to you Brother

Hi again Arcturus,
It is amazing how these parables tie it all together, the sum of His Word is in the parables!
1Pe 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
1Pe 1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
His Peace and Wisdom to you,
Joe

Hi Joe,
What this says to me is, after many years of searching through Mystery Babylon, then when God opens our eyes to the Truth and we find the "treasure hid in a field" and "one pearl of great price."
Then we leave all the heresy of Babylon or "selleth all that he hath."
If we turn whole heartedly to seek these Truth and devote ourselves to it every day, then we have "bought it."
Is that close? It's kind of a simple way of saying it, I guess :)
mercy, peace and love

"...selleth all that he hath..." - that is beautiful. I have never seen that meaning there... I love it and can't wait to get home tonight and look at that further.
Thank you!

Hi Kat,
What you wrote fits right in, the first thing we need to recognize is where Christ does not dwell (Babylon) and where it is that He does dwell.
Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Then of course there is that pesky beast we must deal with, but we are not alone.
Rev 13:4 And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
There are some (the elect) who sell (and shed) what they have (in Babylon) accumulated in this life and there are the many that will have it taken away in the next, either way, everyone will come to realize, accept and praise God that His Kingdom has always been within them.
Revelation 18
4And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
Where and what is the Kingdom? Christ within us.
Who is able to make war with the beast? Christ within us.
Who overcomes Babylon and reveals the Kingdom in the next age for the many? Christ within us.
His Peace and Wisdom to you,
Joe

Nothing more and nothing less than " Christ within us. " Amen to that Joe!
Christ does NOT dwell in Babylon! Amen to that too!
Peace be to you
