And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”

10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” 11 Jesus answered them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. 12 For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him"
(Matthew 13: 10-12, NASB).

Psalm 25: 14 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

14 The secret of the Lord is for those who fear Him,
And He will make them know His covenant.

6 And He will be the stability of your times,
A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge;
The fear of the Lord is his treasure. (Isaiah 33: 6).

9 He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand. (Daniel 12: 9-10).

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding
(Proverbs 9: 10)

Prologue...

"Tell us, when will these things happen,..."

All prophecies serve to be the 'signs' which point to the fulfillment of divine revelations. Thus, reading the signs means knowing in which hour or the 'ticking clock' we are, as revealed by His Word. Any 'sign-post' is inseparable with the content of the prophecy itself, thus, it is"edifying, comforting, and counseling" us, as we thread upon into the uncharted future. The 'signs' are inseparable from 'the Word of the Lord.' Thus, the 'signs' serve to be the lamp unto your feet as you step into the unknown future. They usher us into...the revealed new 'name' of God; the skies proclaim the name of God. Divine "name" is pointing to the Divine handiwork. This blog is about eschatological prophecies, encouragement, and the boundlessness nature of the "Word." The views of the writers may not represent the official adhered beliefs of any established church, though in most cases of Scriptural interpretations, they may still disclose similar spiritual "seeings" which agree either with those taught by Catholic Rites or by non-Catholic mainstream churches. The blogger is neither religious nor holy (only God is Holy), but merely given the 'Way'...

Contemplating secular successes through the Word is an unrefined precept. I'm tempted to ponder, and inspired that the Lord ought to peel off the flesh like Job, so that we may able to 'see' the true essence of eternity. Since our consciousness, as the 'wounded' descendants of Adam, is centered on the intellectual capacities and nervous activities, therefore, the 'peeling off' causes our consciousness to be shifted, sometimes, into the 'beyond' of the flesh, so that we may emulate Job's words "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You; ( Job 42: 5).

27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops. (Matthew 10: 27, NASB).

“Who has learned your Counsel, unless you have given wisdom and sent your Holy Spirit from on high?” (Wisdom 9: 17, NRSVCE).

b "Karena kesaksian 'Yeshua' (the Word of God) adalah roh nubuat." (Wahyu 19: 10 b)

The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple (Psalm 119: 130).

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is Understanding (Proverbs 9:10)

2 the heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge (Psalm 19: 1-2).

"20 Surely there is no one on earth so righteous as to do good without ever sinning" King Solomon (Eccle. 7: 20).
