Comments on: The Dreamer – Revisited https://parables.blog/dreamer-revisited/ Sat, 26 Sep 2020 07:22:31 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: Joseph Herrin https://parables.blog/dreamer-revisited/#comment-2056 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 02:30:01 +0000 #comment-2056 Dear Kim,

If you have read "Christ in You – The Hope of Glory," and want more clarity on this subject, I recommend "God's Plan of the Ages." You can find this book here:

I know that recommending a book is not a short answer. However, due to the false orthodoxy of the hour we live in I have found that to teach things responsibly it requires that a solid foundation be laid.

Seeing that these are such important subjects, it is well worth the saint's time to investigate them thoroughly. I think you will be well rewarded by a patient consideration of this subject.

Thank you for your question.

May you be blessed with peace and understanding in these days.

I just want to make sure I understand this concept. I have read your book but I guess I am still confused. Are you saying those who have believed in Christ as Savior and confessed Him to be Savior, but because of a lack of surrender in life, they are cast into hell and the lake of fire?

I just realized you may have gotten the Psalms 78:2-4 reference from the graphic at the top of the blog. It is more pronounced now since I changed it last night.

If this is the case, then I really do recommend to you the teaching titled Parables which I provided a link to in the previous comment. It addresses your questions. You can also find this presentation online as a video at the following link:

Thank you for writing and asking your question. I do not think you will be able to establish a point of view on this very large matter based upon the interpretation of the Hebrew word "mashal." It is a much better approach to look at the entirety of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation in order to discern how exceedingly prevalent is this use of parables. Yahweh, being the author of them, has spoken through parables from the beginning of His creation.

I am guessing from the fact that you referenced Psalm 78:2-4 that you may have been reading the article, or watching the presentation, titled Parables. I encourage you to consider the entirety of the message presented.

If you have not read it, you can find it here:

May you be blessed with peace and understanding in these days.

Good post! This has been on my heart today:

A true bride is attentive to her groom/husband; his needs/wants. She makes herself ready all the time. Even if he seldom calls on her, she is always ready and “waiting”. This is the faithful servant; even if the master is a long time in coming, the faithful one watches and waits keeping the Word of His patience. He knows best. The faithful one is attentive, disciplined in listening, because many times, he/she will not hear a sound, but how will you know when to open the gates if you don’t STRAIN your ears to listen?

I wrote this in an email to a friend as we were talking of Zephania, Proverbs 9 and the recent actitivities of falling birds, dying fish, earthquakes and other natural disasters. Here in NW GA we had 8 inches of snow. Last night after putting the dog up, I stood outside, looking up. The sky was just a pink/purple colour and the air was intensly quiet. So quiet!
Peace,
Deirdre

How do your teachings differ from allegory? In my understanding, Psalm 78:2-4 is referring to proverbs or riddles (Heb. mashal) similar to the ones recorded by Solomon in the book of Proverbs. I don't see a scriptural precendent for the mystical or hidden knowledge that you base your teachings on except perhaps as divination and the interpretation of signs which is strictly forbidden by Yahweh.

Sincerely,

Caleb
