The Parables of Jesus and the End Times

Metaphor is defined as a terrestrial story with heavenly information. Jesus often uses a fable as a means of illustrating insight and sacred truth. These insightful stories are easy to remember, characters are usually bold, and expression is important. "A metaphor refers to arresting listeners and readers in such a way that they must consider new things in an unfamiliar way" (Cunningham & Kelsay, 2013). Jesus used these parables as an indicator of the Revelation of John and combined many common situations to trigger a thoughtful response to the truth he was trying to teach.

Jesus is a master of figurative teachings. His parable often draws our attention and often has an unexpected twist and a surprise ending that brings the lesson of the metaphor back home. These metaphors give us a sense and insight into the notion of heaven and spirit, a concept that can not be expressed with simple words. They also give us a deeper understanding of the kingdom of God and its values. It is often contrary to worldly values. It is impossible to fully understand Jesus and his teachings unless you understand the metaphor.

Each metaphor has points. What does Jesus mean about faithful my metaphor? What we usually see in the metaphor is that the main point is expressed at the beginning and the end of the metaphor. Jesus describes this principle and then uses a metaphor to explain this principle. Then he will re-express the sentence at the end of the metaphor. That basically says: "The moral of the story is ... ..." Matthew 25.13: Now, at this point, we are at the end of the second metaphor. I found this sentence. Tell it after a parable of a faithful servant. This is a fable teaching the same information. The second metaphor adds the first metaphor. At the end of these two complementary metaphor, Jesus said, "Let's be careful because you do not know the age of a human child."

This statement introduces the metaphor of workers and their compensation (20: 1-15). Jesus repeated this at the end of the metaphor, but in reverse order (20: 16). This structure shows that the metaphor exemplifies the idea expressed in this section. Here, he means that many (not all) of the people who are clearly prioritized - for example wealthy, famous people, and comfortable disciples - are at the end of the kingdom. Because they think that they are willing to pay a sacrifice with all my heart to obey Jesus, their return is small. On the contrary, those who are despised are sacrificing to obey Jesus, so they will receive great honor from the kingdom for paying these sacrifices.
