Kingdom Parables

M. M. NINAN
This stipulates the period of sowing in the Kingdom of Heaven. Six
periods of Church Age starting from the Ephesus Period (corresponding
to the Apostolic Age) till the Philadelphian Church Period
(corresponding to the Evangelical Church Age of the Pearl of Great
Price) will be the period of sowing the seed. The period of Grace ends
with it. There will be no Word of God preached in the following period
- The Laodician Church Age corresponding to the dragnet tribulation
time. The land will lie fallow. There will be no sowing or gathering. But
it will still be a period of fruitfulness, grown out of the result of earlier
witnessing. The fruit will be collected and used up as it is yielded.
Lev. 25:5 Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended
vines. The land is to have a year of rest. 6 Whatever the land yields during the
Sabbath year will be food for you--for yourself, your manservant and maidservant,
and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you, 7 as well as for
your livestock and the wild animals in your land. Whatever the land produces may be
eaten.
While the land is having rest, sower is having Sabbath.
Ex 20:12 Six days you shall work, but the seventh day you shall rest
This is a period of rest for the sower at the end of the sixth Church Age.
The believers are then taken up with the Lord and remain with him till
his coming back, when the sowing restarts.
1 Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud
command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the
dead in Christ will rise first.17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be
caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we
will be with the Lord forever.
