The parables of Jesus should not be studied as individual homilies or proverbs but instead as a series of prophetic installments, wherein each parable reveals an aspect of his coming millennial kingdom. The focus of all his parables was the kingdom and encompassed four areas of revelation. Jesus was sent by his Father to reveal to man eternal truths, to redeem the lost sheep of the house of Israel, to expound on the prophets and the Law, and to preach of the gospel of the Kingdom. With these four anointings, Jesus assumed the three offices of Prophet, Priest, and King and used parables to conceal his message from those who would not listen or sought to destroy his ministry. As Prophet, he foretold of events imminent to his time and the destruction of Jerusalem. He became our High Priest to redeem his people and instruct them in righteousness. As King, his parables reveal to us the grandeur of his coming kingdom, heretofore, kept secret from man and set the metrics for ruling and reigning with him. The Parables of the Lord Jesus Christ: Prophet, Priest, King examines Jesus’s parabolic teaching from these three ordinations and how each relates to Christ’s future kingdom. Each parable is placed in context with surrounding events and the customs of the day and its imagery and symbolism explained using Scripture to deduce and interpret its meaning.
