21 Matthew 13 Parables The Sower: Preaching of the gospel with variousresults
22 Why The Parable of the Sower Does Not Teach Kingdom Now Theology 1. The sower went out to sow (13:3) 2. The Word of the Kingdom enters hearts (13:19) 3. Only one type of soil is fruitful (13:23) 4. Satan is active (13:19)
23 Matthew 13 Parables n Public parables (13:1-2) - Sower (13:1-9, 18-23) - Wheat and tares (13:24-30, 36-43) - Mustard seed (13:31-32) - Leaven (13:33) n Private parables (13:36) - Earthen treasure (13:44) - Pearl of great price (13:45-46) - Dragnet (13:47-50) - Householder (13:51-52)
24 Matthew 13 Parables Wheat & Tares: Difficult to distinguish between the saved and the unsaved withinprofessingchristendom
25 Why The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares Does Not Teach Kingdom Now Theology 1. Both grow together (13:30) 2. The Tares will increase (13:30) 3. No separation until the end of the age (13:39-43) 4. Satan is active (13:25, 28, 38-39) 5. Kingdom to be established at age s conclusion (13:43)

27 The Mustard Seed: Matthew 13 Parables Christendom will experience great numerical and geographical expansion from a humble beginning and yet will ultimately represent an apostate form atgreatvariancefromitspureorigins
28 Why The Parable of the Mustard Seed Does Not Teach Kingdom Now Theology 1. Must be understood in harmony with the first two parables (Matt. 13:23, 30) 2. A great tree whose roots go into the earth (Matt. 13:32; Philip. 3:20; 1 Pet. 2:11) 3. Herbs become a tree? (Matt. 13:32) 4. Birds = Satan (Matt. 13:32, 4, 19; Gen. 15:11; Deut. 28:26; Rev. 18:2) 5. Tree with birds in its branches = Gentile powers (Matt. 13:32; Dan. 4:10-12; 20-22; Ezek. 31:6)

30 The Leaven: Matthew 13 Parables Christendom will experience ever increasing internalcorruptionthroughouttheage
31 Why The Parable of the Leaven Does Not Teach Kingdom Now Theology 1. The first 3 parables do not speak of world conversion 2. These parables are a mystery (Matt. 13:11, 16-17, 35) and yet the Gospel was known in OT (Gal. 3:8) 3. Leaven is not the Gospel a. Many hear but do not respond b. Women preachers? (1 Tim. 2:12) c. The Gospel humbles and does not puff up 4. Parable s Gospel progress contradicted by history
32 Why The Parable of the Leaven Does Not Teach Kingdom Now Theology 5. Leaven is bad rather than good a. Jewish audience b. OT (Gen. 19:3; Exod. 12; 34:25; Lev. 2:11) c. NT (Matt. 16:11-12; Luke 12:1; 1 Cor. 5:6-7; Gal. 5:7-9) 6. Meal is good rather than bad (Gen. 18:6; 1 Kgs. 17:14-16; John 12:24) 7. Hiding leaven is not Gospel preaching (Matt. 10:27; 2 Cor. 4:2)
33 Matthew 13 Parables n Public parables (13:1-2) - Sower (13:1-9, 18-23) - Wheat and tares (13:24-30, 36-43) - Mustard seed (13:31-32) - Leaven (13:33) n Private parables (13:36) - Earthen treasure (13:44) - Pearl of great price (13:45-46) - Dragnet (13:47-50) - Householder (13:51-52)
34 Background to the Matthew 13 Parables 1. Their position in Matthew s Gospel 2. Their mystery nature 3. They do not represent the kingdom 4. They represent course of the present age 5. The experiences of the kingdom s sons 6. They are taught in parables 7. Their two-fold division
35 Matthew 13:1-2 (NASB) ThatdayJesus wentoutofthe houseand was sitting by the sea. 2 And large crowds gathered to Him, so He got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd was standingonthebeach.
36 Matthew 13:36 (NASB) Then He left the crowds and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him and said, Explain to us the parable of the taresofthefield.
37 The Prophetic Parables of Matthew Thirteen - A. W. Pink Yes, there was every reason for the poor disciples to be perplexed and dismayed...he made known to them that, though the outward professing cause of Christianity upon earth would develop so tragically, yet there will beno failure on the part of God. He tells them there are two bodies, two elect peoples, who are inexpressibly precious in His sight, and that through them He will manifest the inexhaustible riches of His grace and glory and that, in the two realms of His dominion on the earth and in heaven. Two distinct elect companies, one the treasure hid in the field, symbolizing the literal nation of Israel; the other, the one pearl, symbolizingtheonebodywhichhasaheavenly...
38 The Prophetic Parables of Matthew Thirteen - A. W. Pink...calling, destiny, citizenship, and inheritance. The order of these next two parables is this: Tothe Jew first, and also to the Greek. Therefore, the hidden treasure in the field, the symbol ofisrael,isgivenbeforethepearl,whichisthefigure of the Church. A. W. Pink (2005). The Prophetic Parables of Matthew Thirteen.

41 Matthew 13 Parables The Hidden Treasure: Israel will remain in unbelief only to be converted at the age s conclusion
42 The Prophetic Parables of Matthew Thirteen - A. W. Pink The common interpretation of this parable, both by Calvinists and Arminians, is as far removed from what I am fully assured is its true meaning as is the explanation they give of the earlier ones in Matthew 13. Dr. John Gill tells us that the treasure in this parable is the Gospel, that the field in which the treasure is hidden is the Scriptures, and that the man who sought and found the treasure is an elect and awakened sinner. It is amazing how such an exegete of the Scriptures, and a man so deeplytaughtofgod,couldwandersofarastraywhenhe cametothisparable. A. W. Pink (2005). The Prophetic Parables of Matthew Thirteen.

69 The Prophetic Parables of Matthew Thirteen - A. W. Pink First, we have the treasure hid in the field: that takes us back to the beginning of Israel s history as a nation. Second, we have the Man finding that treasure; that is Christ coming to this earth and confining His message to the Jews in Palestine. Third, we have the Man hiding the treasure; that is Christ s judgment upon Israel becauseof their rejection of Him referring to their dispersion abroad throughout the earth. Fourth, we have the Man purchasing the treasure and the whole field in which it was found, referring to the death of Christ A. W. Pink (2005). The Prophetic Parables of Matthew Thirteen. Bellingham, WA: Logos Bible Software.
70 The Prophetic Parables of Matthew Thirteen - A. W. Pink Now, haveyou noticed there is a fifth point omitted? the logical completion of the parable would be the Man actually possessing the treasure that He purchased. He hid it, then He purchased it. Logically, the parable needs this to complete it the Man owning and possessing the treasure. Why is that left out? Because it lies outside the scope of Matthew 13. This chapter, dealing with the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, has to do with the history of Christendom. It describes the cause of Christ on this earth during the period of His absence, and therefore there is nothing in this parable about the restoration of Israel and thelordpossessinghisearthlytreasure,becausethat...
71 The Prophetic Parables of Matthew Thirteen - A. W. Pink...comes after this dispensation is over, after thehistoryof Christendom has been wound up, after the new age has been inaugurated, namely, the Millennium!

72 Why The Earthen Treasure Parable Does Teach That Israel Will Remain in Unbelief & Only Converted at the Age s Conclusion 1. Man = JC & (13:24, 37, 44) 2. Treasure = Israel & not Church (Exod. 19:4; Deut. 14:2; 32:8; Ps. 135:4) 3. Hidden treasure = Israel s apostasy (13:44) 4. Uncovering of the treasure = kingdom offer (13:44) 5. Re-hiding = Israel s rejection of the offer (Matt. 12) & discipline (Deut. 28:15-68) 6. Purchase of the field = JC s death for Israel (2 Pet. 2:1) 7. Implicit coming again = Israel s conversion at the age s conclusion (13:44)
73 Matthew 13 Parables The Hidden Treasure: Israel will remain in unbelief only to be converted at the age s conclusion

75 Deuteronomy 17:15 you shall surely set a king over you whom the LORD your God chooses, one from among your countrymen you shall set as king over yourselves; you may not put a foreigner over yourselves who is not your countryman.
76 Matthew 23:37-39 (NASB) Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers herchicks underherwings, and you were unwilling. 38 Behold, your house is being left to you desolate! 39 For I say to you, from now on you willnotseemeuntilyou say, BLESSED ISHE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THELORD!

78 Matthew 13 Parables The Pearl of Great Price: The Lord will gain a treasure from among the Gentiles
79 The Prophetic Parables of Matthew Thirteen - A. W. Pink The general conception of its meaning is this! Christianity is likened unto one who earnestly desired and diligently sought salvation. Ultimately his efforts were rewarded by his finding Christ, the Pearl of great price. Having found Him, as presented in the Gospel, the sinner sold all that he had:thatistosay,heforsookallthatthefleshhelddear,he abandoned his worldly companions, he surrendered his will, he dedicated his life to God; and in that way, secured his salvation. The awful thing is that this interpretation is the one which, substantially, is given out almost everywhere throughout Christendom today. That is...
80 The Prophetic Parables of Matthew Thirteen - A. W. Pink...what is taught in the great majority of the denominational Sunday School periodicals. During the last twenty years I have examined scores of Sunday School teachers aids in which an exposition of this parable has beenfound.
