Matthew 13:44-52 ~ The Kingdom of Heaven

 

Matthew 13:44-52

"The Kingdom of Heaven 

is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 

"Again, the Kingdom of Heaven 

is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

"Again, the Kingdom of Heaven

 is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. 48 When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. 49 So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous 50 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

51 "Have you understood all these things?" 

They said to Him, "Yes." 

52 And He said to them, 

"Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the Kingdom of Heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old."

Matthew 5:18

For truly, I say to you, 

until heaven and earth pass away, 

not an iota, 

not a dot, 

will pass from the Law 

until 

all 

is accomplished

1 Timothy 2:4 

Who desires 

all 

people to be saved 

and 

to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Luke 10:27 

And He answered, 

“You shall love the Lord your God with 

all 

your heart and with all your soul and 

with all your strength 

and with all your mind, 

and 

your neighbor as yourself.”

Matthew 11:28 

Come to me, 

all 

who labor and are heavy laden,

 and I will give you rest.

Joel 2:32

And it shall come to pass that 

everyone 

who calls on the Name of the Lord 

shall be saved.

 For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, 

as the Lord has said, 

and 

among the survivors shall be 

those whom 

the Lord 

calls.

Philippians 4:13

I can do 

all 

things through Him who strengthens me.

Colossians 1:16

For by Him

all 

things were created, 

in Heaven and on earth, 

visible and invisible,

 whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities

—all 

things were created through Him 

and 

for Him. 

 Haggai 2:7 

And I will shake 

all nations, 

so that the treasures of all nations 

shall come in, 

and

 I will fill this house with Glory, 

says the Lord of Hosts.

Matthew 19:26

But Jesus looked at them and said, 

“With man this is impossible, 

but 

with God 

all 

things are possible.”

and bring,

to this earth.

John 16:33 ~ you may have Peace

 

John 16:33

 “I have told you these things, 

so that in Me 

you may have peace. 

In this world you will have trouble. 

But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Too bad exaggerated

the features

2 Samuel 21:15-22

15 There was war again between the Philistines and Israel, and David went down together with his servants, and they fought against the Philistines. 

And David grew weary. 

16 And Ishbi-benob, one of the descendants of the giants, 
whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of bronze, 

and who was armed with a new sword, thought to kill David. 

Narnia Lamp originated as

CS Lewis saw in Oxford 

17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid and attacked the Philistine and killed him. Then David's men swore to him, 

“You shall no longer go out with us to battle, 

lest you quench the Lamp of Israel.”

18 After this there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck down Saph, who was one of the descendants of the giants. 19 And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, the Bethlehemite, struck down Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.20 And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was descended from the giants. 21 And when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David's brother, struck him down.

 22 These four were descended from the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

Giants and our everyday life.

The giant (right), was apparently unearthed in County Antrim, Ireland, and found to be 12ft 2in high. Its girth of chest was 6ft 6in, and length of arms 4ft 6in. There are six toes on the right foot. This skeleton was on display in exhibitions in Dublin, Liverpool and Manchester.

Giants sound very improbable.

Tennessee River, USA - giant human footprints with 6 toes
Crittendon, Arizona, USA - sarcophagus of a giant who sported 6 toes on each foot
County Antrim, Ireland - fossilised body of a giant with 6 toes on the right foot
Kiribati (Pacific Ocean) - a number of footprints of giant men, most of them with 6 toes on each foot

The United States has a large number of skeletons found over 8 feet, google if you must.

TURKEY: a human finger bone which is twice the length of the average adult bone today.
In the Hittite Museum in Ankara, Turkey; In the late 1950's, during road construction in south-east Turkey (in the Euphrates Valley), many tombs were uncovered, which contained the remains of giant humans. At two sites the leg bones were measured to be about 120 centimeters (47.24 inches).

Joe Taylor, Director of the Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum, in Crosbyton, Texas, was commissioned to sculpt an anatomically correct, and to scale, human femur of one of these ancient men. One part was a human fingerbone which is twice the length of the average adult bone today.

Giants are probable, considering all cultures report giants and we see gigantism in genetics.

Giants in faith - David. David had conflicts of life we look at in our daily realities.

And the problems we face. Perhaps we could have scooted through this chapter. So much of David's Biblical History is about war, loss of life and destruction. Here David has a chance to clear his dynasty from Saul's descendants. He takes that opportunity. Because David is man of God, we know he must have felt some dismay in the taking of a king's children and grandchildren.

The huge problem is not recorded until Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had stood watch day and night over the bodies of her sons and grandsons. David then buries Saul and Jonathon.

David was so busy, he is at war again when his weariness of his daily work almost gets him killed. A haunting chapter to be sure, the mother, not wailing at home but living day and night to protect her loved ones' bones. Rather like Aaron being invited into the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle to splash blood all over.



God is blamed, so many times in the Old Testament for how incredibly harsh He is. This passage emphasizes:

John 16:33

 “I have told you these things, 

so that in Me 

you may have peace. 

In this world you will have trouble. 

But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

John 2:25

He did not need man's testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man.

Jeremiah 17:15

They keep saying to me, "Where is the word of the LORD?

 Let it now be fulfilled!"

Psalm 72:11

May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.

John 14:13-14

And I will do whatever you ask in My Name,

 so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 

14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

Matthew 8:11

I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven

John 14:20

In that day you will know that I am in my Father,

 and you in me, and I in you.

Revelation 21:4

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, 

for the former things have passed away.

Matthew 1:23

They shall call His Name Immanuel, which means, God with us.

Hebrews 4:13

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; 

everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him 

to Whom we must give account.

Job 34:21

For His eyes are on the ways of a man, 

and He sees his every step.

Abba, Father!
