We have one. Tony, thank you for that question also. You know something about period in Hiram. I was reading the woman, Jesus, people accuses her of stoning. I didn't get all of it. He asked her something and she says your faith has saved you. Go in peace. But I was wondering if that was before or after he met John the Baptist? Well, Jesus' ministry didn't actually start in the life of John the Baptist. Oh, OK. So this had to have happened. Yes. OK. His ministry started from the time he was baptized and John the Baptist exposed him as a Messiah. See, John the Baptist was actually the Elijah that was to come, and the Elijah was the forerunner of the Messiah. You have to realize that Israel rejected him thoroughly. They did not want the Messiah, because he did not meet their requirements of the Messiah. Their standards. Their standards, what they wanted, and he did not conform to the religion that they had invented. and displaced with God's will. Yes. We know the rejected Messiah, Jesus Christ Messiah. Did they reject also John the Baptist? Because the Romans did that. No, no, no. Romans didn't do it. Herod had it. Herod had it. Herod had it. Herod was a descendant of Esau. Now, we have to go back. Everything is all messed up. When Jesus comes on the scene, his religion that he had given to Israel was perversion, twisted, crooked mess. It had turned into a false religious system. They were administrators of God's kingdom. When John the Baptist started preaching, that was the end of their administration. Why does God have certain administrations in time, certain dispensations, a dispensation or administration in time. Why does he have that? The ultimate reason for all of that is to show how futile man is, and even angels. Because there was a period of time in administration where the angels were the, well, where Lucifer was the administrator over the physical realm of God's kingdom. He was the administrator. Then Adam became the administrator. Adam's blocked. God replaces Adam with all of these, even though Satan has the title deed to this earth, God is going to bring it back. That's that seven-sealed book. That's a title grant that God's taking back when he comes back and the Lord's going to take over the heaven and earth again. Right now, Lucifer's on the loose. Satan's on the loose. But God dealt with Adam. God dealt with Noah. God dealt with mankind. I was watching a thing on the History Channel last night where it talked about, no it wasn't either, it was on the radio. I was listening to that too. But on the radio yesterday I heard some scientists say, well we believe that God created the earth. And we don't understand how all these people got across the earth and everything. These are scientists and archaeologists. We don't know how all that happened. We know that all the mankind on earth were populated by Noah's three sons had Jenn and Japheth. We know that. How did all the people get all of the earth? According to the word of God that I taught you. Have you ever heard that taught any place else? I don't know. That came from J. Lewis Guthrie. J. Lewis Guthrie. He was a great Hebrew Yersinianist. And A.T. Robertson had taught him. And anyway, they taught that. But you don't see it in a lot of writings anymore. But in the days of... God confused the languages here at the Tower of Babel. And it says, in the days of Pelagia, Earth was divided. Okay? God divided the Earth. That's how the compass got here. That's how the American Indian got over on this place. That's how the Australians got where they were. And all the animals that you see, the basic species of animals that you see today, I'm not talking there was one cow on there. There was about 400 different species of cow. There were one Holsteins, and Jerseys, and Guernseys, and Angus, and Longhorns, and all that stuff that were basically, probably mostly Longhorns. Longhorn species of cattle. But there was a species of cattle on there, and a species of monkeys, and all those weird looking animals that you see down in Australia. They were all there. They were all there. Some of them didn't have to be in the Arctic, because they were They were kind of like sea-going mammals. What is a sea-going mammal that goes all over the earth, from pole to pole, that doesn't have to be in the ark? A whale. Okay, it doesn't have to be on the ark. They made it. Okay. You see all of this. God divided the earth. We go all the way down until Moses took, you know, God called Abraham out. Abraham was God's administrator on the earth. Then Abraham actually, how did he, what was his, in all reality, what must we say about Abraham as the father of the faithful? In all reality. I mean, the Bible talks about him as a man of faith and everything else, but what else was he? The father of all of the Arab and Jewish nations over there, and the Arab nations should have never been there. They should have never been there. That should have never... That was Abraham's sin. That was his sin. We have... The Arab nations is an absolute indictment against Abraham. Because they should have never existed. Because of this unfaithfulness, they exist. Alright. And so we see all of this administration of God's kingdom. Finally it came down where Israel was God's administrator. Israel absolutely failed. God kept giving them more chances, didn't he? More rope to hang themselves, but they kept failing, failing, failing, failing for a little bit. I was going to say, as you're saying this, all the way back up to Adam, somewhere down the line, man has sinned, and we have to pay for it. That's right. All of it is... All the different originations. Remember what we talked about, the inherited? Yeah. Alright, you can, I mean, I told you about being raised by this criminal. I could have gone this way exactly like he did. I could have followed right in his footsteps. But I made a choice. I'm not perfect in my line, but I made a choice. I don't care People make excuses for other people, well, they raise their children up, and they are just absolutely, they don't care anything about their children, and they just go the four ways of the wind. They raise themselves, don't they? Some people. Well, there's some of them, they don't know how to raise children. They don't know how to have a barn, not a barn, they don't know how. Every woman is born with a motherly instinct. Isn't she? Some of them. Some of them don't act like it. Some of them don't act like it because they don't want to. They have to suppress it. They have to suppress it. And sin is a great suppressor, isn't it? Every father should want to provide for his children and his wife. That's an instinct, too. But a lot of them smother that one to death, too, don't they? It's all sin. It's all sin. There was a... weren't there seeds of giving? One of my grandfathers, actually father in the faith, was Ben Marcus Bogart. I thank so much of him. I don't live a day that I do not read something that he wrote, remember something that he said, or whatever. There was a preacher one time, the one preacher for Revival, and a little old absolute out in the sticks of Missouri. And of course, you know, who was the founding missionary of many, many Baptist churches in Missouri and Arkansas and through that area? Who was one of the founding missionaries of a lot of those churches? Was I? Huh? Was I? No. You probably didn't, but who was one of them? Very famous in history, but not as a priest. Well, you said this once before, did I? Yeah, I remember you telling me that. And church history. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. Who was it? All right. Ben J. M. Bogart slept with him. Slept with his son. Ben said that was the most exciting thing that he ever did in his life. It was at, uh, yeah, I'm pretty bored with Floyd again. That's what he slept with. It was his dad. Um, who was the girl and the guy that did? Jesse James. No, Jesse Dashwood. Jesse James was really a Robin Hood. I mean, really was, believe it or not. He was a Robin Hood. He fought against the banks, which were just devastating that part of the country, and the railroads. Absolute organized crime is what it was. And so he and his gang won against them. And he never, hardly ever misses a church service on Sunday. Jesse James! Yes! And every preacher, all up and down, his father founded, was a missionary, and founded many of the churches back in that area. What's his father's name? I can't remember him. His last name was James. But I can't remember the name of his father. Anyway, if you study most histories, it will tell you that. And Jesse James was a deacon, and quite a preacher, and quite a theologian, and a poet, and all that. And you'll see him say something about that in almost all the movies. They couldn't prosecute him because the people would come up into arms against the government because the government was wrong. And he was their champion. He was their Robin Hood. Well, one night in Ben Bogard's home, Jesse James came to say that his father, and his father was a preacher also, Well, they covered for him, they feed him, and he'd give money to them to give to the church, wherever he was going. And this night, Jesse James came with his great big long pistol and laid on his chest and slept in the bed with Ben Bogart when he was a little boy. And Ben Bogart went to a revival, and this preacher, high-powered preacher, wasn't there at the preacher's revival. And the only person that was saved and made a profession of faith was Ben Bogart, this little boy. And they went back to this big seminary where he was going at that time, and they asked him, well, how was the revival? And he said, well, it just wasn't much. He said, one little boy was saved. That's all the move that was made in that whole three-week or four-week revival, Procrastination. He said, it was just basically a flop. I preached. Well, it wasn't a flop. because Ben Bogard's life touched lives all over the world. Every seminary that was ever, and you have been recipients of Ben and Bogard's goodness and gifts. I thought I'd bring this up during this time. Thank you. You're his grandson, right? Huh? You're his grandson, right? What? Oh, Ben Bogard just knew Jesse James. Oh, okay. And he slept in the bed with him, and his family helped do that. But Ben Bogard was my grandfather or father in the faith. All right, he was one of the teachers that I've learned from so much in my life. Ben Bogart taught in a seminary in Little Rock, Arkansas, and he founded a bookstore there. It still exists today. If you have ever got a Baptist church history or anything, the reason why you got it so cheap is because Ben Bogart left everything he had in this world to found that Bogart Press and all of that. That's why you can buy a $10 book I mean, if I book for $10, it should cost $50. It's because of him. I remember Carl Farrar and Brother Hubbard and all them were going to school, and Hubbard was teaching, and Farrar was teaching. But they went, and this chart that you have today, Ben Bogart made this chart. This is one he taught for two years in seminary. OK? He said he, Carl Farrar took it for two years. And Brother Hubbard was back there, and Carl Farrar, and they were going to school and teaching in the seminary and everything. And Brother Bogart lived on very little. He was really tight with his money. He went by one of the other pastors' houses one day and lifted up his garbage can. And he saw two heels of bread laying in a... and thrown away like that. And he was angered that this man would squander his money and throw two heels of bread away at a garbage can. That was totally, absolutely wasteful. He said we ought to be absolute caretakers of what God has given us. And that's not being a caretaker. He wasn't accosted at school over this thing. Anyway, Ben Bogart Gave money to almost every student, founded that seminary in Little Rock, Arkansas, and educated people that have gone all over the world. When he died, the church still gave him $150 a month, gave his wife his salary and the house to live in where she lived. He didn't own anything in the world. He was a rich man, but he gave everything he had to God. He said, my sons and daughters are all fine. They'll take care of themselves. I don't have to give them anything. I taught them how to take care of themselves. And when his wife finally died, they had buried Ben Bogart out there and his wife The church ballroom, they fought together out by the seminary and the cemetery. And Bogart never had a headstone on his grave. They come to find out, when they look through the records, that he had left absolutely nothing to bury himself or his wife. No headstone, no nothing. Sold to all the students in the seminary. got together and Brother Carr said we have the privilege of kicking in and paying and buying Brother Bogart a headstone and his wife for the rest. That's something, that's giving. That's giving. They left nothing, not even, he didn't even provide for a memorial stone on his grave. Nothing. He left it all to us. That's how it was. He left it all to us. Now, that's a good application for as we can live our lives as we live in the world today. The world we live in today is so selfish. It is unbelievable. So selfish. So selfish compared to that. Look at Jesus Christ. And when he did all of this stuff, he'd always say, I'm trying to imitate Jesus. He was trying to be like Jesus. When Jesus left this world, what did he leave behind? His underwear and the clothes on his back. That's all he left. That's all he left in this world. The King of Glory. And someone had to give him a grave to be buried in, even though he didn't say that. He left out. He left his grave closed. His rackets. Now I want you to turn to Luke, the 14th chapter. Luke, chapter 14. And we're going to look at something. We talk about Israel today, and we're studying about the Bible and And rules of interpretation, that's what I want to get to today. Luke the 14th chapter, verses 15 through 24. I want us to read that. Tony, you're a good reader. Could you read that for us? Yeah, Luke 14, 14 through 24. Get a preview of tonight's class a little bit. And you will be blessed if they do not have the means to repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection with the righteous. When one of those who were reclining at the table with him heard this, he said to him, Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God. But he said to him, A man was giving a big dinner, and he invited many. And at the dinner hour, he sent his plate to say to those who had been invited, Come, for everything is ready now. that they all alike began to make excuses. The first one said to him, I have bought a piece of land and I need to go out and look at it. Please consider me excused. Another one said, I have bought five yields of oxen and I am going to try them out. Please consider me excused. Another one said, I have married a wife and for that reason I cannot come. And the slave came back and reported this to his master. Then the head of the household became angry and said to the slave, go out at once into the street and into the city and bring in here the poor and the crippled and the blind and the lame. And the slave said, Master, what you commended has been done and still there is room. and the master says to the slaves, go out into the hallways and along the hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house may be filled. For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste of my manner." What in the world is this talking about? What is the rules of interpretation? I know you've heard this sermon preached a lot of times, but you've heard it preached out of context. I don't know whether you've ever heard it preached and interpreted literally as an interpretation of Scripture. Scripture, you have to, two things you can do with Scripture. What's going on there? Who's speaking? Who's he speaking to? Who, what, where, when, and why? Okay? Okay. Who's he speaking to? All right. Who is it? Who's he speaking to? Who's speaking? Who's he speaking to? He's speaking to representatives of the kingdom of Israel. Because he's at a banquet. And they invited him to a banquet to do one thing to him. Have you ever been invited to some place's house, Joanne, and the only reason why they invited you there was to pick you apart? Well, that's exactly why Jesus was invited to this party. Now, he should have been on guard. If they would have invited you here, and they invited you, Brother Bill, to pick you apart, and just pair you up and have you, and have you for dinner. That's exactly what they had done to Jesus. And these were Pharisees, and scribes, and priests at this dinner. Big high, pollutin' dinner. And then Jesus comes in here, and they're kicking him apart. Go back and if you look and you find out what's going on. Jesus heals somebody on the Sabbath, and they don't like it. He's invited to this dinner and they're trying to rip him apart and try to find some fault in him so they can accuse him so they can kill him, murder him. That's the purpose of this dinner, is to... How many of you ever watched the movie Tom Horn? You know, Tom Horn was a real man. He existed in history. He was a gunfighter. He was a guide in the Indian campaign. It wasn't called the Indian campaign, so they went after Geronimo. He was very much a friend of Geronimo. He hated to go and try to capture him or anything. But really they did capture him because Geronimo gave up. They would have never captured him. But anyway, Tom Horne was that type of person. He was a trailblazer and a guide and a bounty hunter. Many times. Well, the Cattlemen's Association of Wyoming hired him to be a brand inspector. He would go out and he would stop the cattle rustling over there. When they rustled the cattle. A lot of times he'd shoot them. Sometimes they'd bring them to the crowd. Most of the time he'd shoot them because they put up a bicycle to shoot them. He shot a couple of people in town, blood, I mean real bad stuff, and they weren't used to that. Cattlemen's Association said, we're going to have to do something about this tomahawk. He's given us a bad reputation. He was doing a job. He stopped all the wrestling. But they... had somebody go out and kill a boy, shoot a cheap herder boy, a young boy, with a caliber rifle 45-60 that Tom Hornby used. And same caliber rifle Tom Hornby used that killed this boy. And they put a bullet, and just exactly like he left all of them, they mimicked him. In other words, what did they do to him? They framed him. And then they had him off and pay for a sheriff, which is not unusual. And they got this sheriff to get Tom Horne in and start talking to him. And they twisted up what he said as a stenographer, sat down and take out, take the words down that he said. And then they changed him just a little bit. And finally they hung him about 1903, I think it was. They hung him and got rid of him. It was a setup. What you see here right now is a setup. Here we have another setup. This is a frame-up that you have here. But Jesus took that frame-up that they were going to do on him and thrashed him with it. The basic interpretation of this scripture is, now let's look at it. Those who were laying up to the table with him, this is at this dinner, he said that now blessed is everyone who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. Now why did he say that? Who was saying that? Jesus. Jesus said that. Blessed is everyone who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God, because you won't. You invited me to your feast to frame me. The ones you should invite to your feast are the poor and the people that can't pay you back. It was common practice that these rich Pharisees would go out and invite other rich Pharisees. They would invite you to their house for dinner this Sunday, so to speak, the Saturday, actually, the Saturday. They would go and they'd say, well, next Saturday or whatever, you know, you come over to our house. And then they'd invite a bunch of people and they'd all pay each other back. Jesus doesn't invite you to that. You're not given anything because you're going to get it back. Why don't you invite somebody that won't invite you back to his house because he don't have one? Why don't you really be a giver? Give and have support. Invite support to your feasts. Make room for them. He also condemned them because they didn't wash his feet when he came in the house. And this woman came in there, this prostitute came in there and washed his feet with her hair and her tears. And they said to him, if you are a prophet of God, you know no man or woman touches you. You know, he's laying towards the table, she's behind him where his feet are. You know, he's laying down on the couch, towards the table, and she's behind him, washing his feet with her tears, and probably crying, and then pouring her tear bottle of tears onto him, which represented all of the joys and sorrows of her life, and either wiping him with the head of her hair, or else with cloth that she had made from the head of her hair. From the hair of her head, that is. That's the same question I asked you, Jim. She believed in him. They did not. They refused to believe in the Messiah. Let's get to practice. The basic interpretation we're learning on this chart, we're going to learn how to interpret Scripture. And when you go and you hear a sermon, you will know whether that is an interpretation of Scripture or whether it's an application of Scripture. Because the application of Scripture is totally different. It's like a parable. They're using that as a parable and saying, well, this is what happened here. Now, you know, come to Jesus. If you use this one and tell somebody to come to Jesus, the Savior, that doesn't have any faith. That is not what this Scripture is teaching at all, is it? We're talking about Israel. These are representatives of the administration of the kingdom of God. Now the administration of the kingdom of God was in effect until the administrator came. The real administrator. Who was that? Who was the king of Israel? He was his own cabinet when he came. You know, when you have a new president come into power, he makes up his own cabinet, he figures out his administration. This is what Jesus, what they should have done. So, well, here it is, Jesus. They should have said, here it is, we accept you as our Messiah, now you run the thing. Because you are the king. But they didn't do that. They tried to show him where he was wrong. And they tried to frame him here. But he sat down with a certain man, giving a big dinner, and he invited many. This, this, these are the privileged he invited, the descendants of Abraham. Okay, the Israelites. Brother Uli? I don't know. Mine says a little bit different. I don't know if it's just translation. You got the wrong book, brother. You got King Jim. We got the Inspired Persons. This is a great big supper. This is a great big supper. This is an inaugural feast. This is a big inaugural feast. The king of Israel had come, and he had invited them to this dinner. All right? This is who he's talking about. He's talking about himself. All right, an important man. Anybody more important than Jesus Christ ever born in this world? Huh? That's when God became glad. And at the dinner hour, he sent his slaves to save those who had been invited. Now, really, you have to go back to the Hebrew customs. Here we go. People in customs, when they were going to have this great big dinner, a big dinner affair or something, they would send two invitations. One invitation would say you're invited to come to a dinner. The next invitation you got would tell you the hour and you were ready. The first invitation meant that be ready because I am going to give a dinner and be ready to drop everything you're doing to come to my dinner because I'm going to have a dinner. The second invitation would be the dinner time to be there. Now this is the king. If you refuse, and this is a period of time, if you refuse to go to a king's dinner, do you know what happens? That's right, brother. Curtains! Curtains! They knew in advance that it was going to happen, didn't they? Israel knew in advance the Messiah was coming, didn't they? Exact, absolute details. of the Messiah's coming. And at the dinner hour, he sent his slaves to save those who had been invited. Now this, who is this guy? Who is this one? Jesus. No. No. Who's the slave to sin? Who? The slave. Who's the slave? Who was the forerunner of Christ? John the Baptist. John the Baptist. The scriptures were the first invitation. Now this is primary interpretation of this scripture now. Okay. Are you going to learn it? All right, at the dinner hour said he slaves the slaves of those who have been invited come for everything is now ready. The Messiah has come. He's here, your king is here. And John baptized him and coronated him basically when he baptized him. But they all like began to make excuses. They kept on making excuses for what he said. For the first one said, I have bought a piece of land and I need to go out and look at it and please consider me excused. First of all, all the land that Israel had, God had given them. It was His land. They had no excuses, I bought a piece of land. How foolish. You know, the American Indians, when they were up there in Manhattan, the white men came over here and wanted to buy that island. Because what you fools, go ahead and sell it to him for some beans. Nobody's going to outlast the piece of land, they're crazy. Well, no family, no person in Israel ever owned a piece of property. It was given to your family and it was God's. Your family used it, but it was God's land and you couldn't sell or buy it. That's the law of the Kingdom of Redeemer. If something happened and you did sell it, somebody in your family had to buy it back. It was their responsibility. And another said, I have fought five yoke of oxen, and I'm going to try them out. Please consider the excuse. These are absolute insults to the king. An ox? I'll chop you up and use you for minced meat, and I'll sacrifice the oxen at my feast. Five yoke of oxen? An animal is more important than I am? An ox? Jesus told him, he said, how many of you had a son or an ox that fell in the road on the Sabbath, fell in a pit, and you wouldn't pull him out? The law said pull him out. And they didn't want him to heal this guy over here, remember? When was the last time that he healed the blind right before this didn't he? And healing of the blind was specifically a credential of the Messiah, wasn't it? Messianic credential. And another said, I have married a wife for this reason I cannot come. They were the bride of God. They had no business marrying somebody else. They were the bride of God. Israel was God's bride. Do you want to become a whore instead? Had they any right to God and do anything else? Make any other miracle? Grace was when the King was come, they were the bride of God. How foolish these look now. So another said, and the slave came back and reported to his master. Then the head of the household became angry and said to the slave, go out into the streets and the lanes of the city and bring in here the poor and the crippled and the blind and the lame. And the slave said, master, you have commanded has been done and still there's room. And the master said to the slave, go out into the highways. along the hedges and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." What's this last part talking about? God turning away from Israel and turning to the Gentiles. That is your perfect, this is your primary interpretation of the scripture. Now you've heard preachers preach and says, now God is calling you to come to the dinner, to come and dine. We even got Psalms. He's not talking about you coming to Christ's salvation. He's talking about Israel and the rejection of the Messiah, the Messiah King. They rejected him. They said, we don't want to have nothing to do with you. Do you see the primary interpretation and then an application of Scripture? You can apply it if you use it in another way. Well, what's the primary interpretation of Scripture? Who's speaking? Who's he speaking to? What's the subject? Can you look out there and say somebody? Yes, don't go on. OK, well then, we'll keep going. I was going to ask you that question. Verse 20? Yes. Is he talking about physical wife or spiritual wife? Oh, this man said, I'm marrying a wife. He's already a spouse to God. He is earthly. situation had more weight than the marriage of Israel to the Messiah? Now they were the administrators of God's kingdom. They had completely, totally failed. Total, absolute failure. Okay, all the Bible is inspired of God. We look at this, these scriptures, and we see this, and it is inspired, and God tells us, Jesus is telling us, he's using a little figure, a parable, to explain a real rejection of the Messiah. He's going to go on and give more and more parables. We're going to study some of this tonight in Parables of 430. If you want to come here, we're going to go into this in more detail tonight and straight shoot into it. We're going to learn what these parables mean. We're at the, I think we've got three lessons to go. Yeah, we've got three lessons left. We're going to have the Lord's Supper tonight. That's good. Anyway, come here at 430 and then we'll have the Lord's Supper afterwards. If you can come here for that. I think my daughter will be here tonight. I hope she's alright enough to come in Maryland. And I was hoping that, I said they might have the Lord's Supper tonight. So, I said we'll try to be there. Do you have any other, do you see the primary interpretation of scripture now? What's he talking about? Who's speaking? Who's speaking? Tesson. Jesus speaking. Who's he speaking to? Israel, the representatives of the nation of Israel, the administrators of God's kingdom. What's the subject? They are failures to adhere to the truths and their responsibilities as the administrators of God's kingdom. What's the time element? Literally, during Christ's ministry. During His rejection as Messiah. Alright? You know, this isn't too far removed from when He was crucified, is it? They were trying to set Him up. This is a frame-up, isn't it? This whole letter is a frame-up. Now, what's the purpose? What's the purpose? What is the purpose or the occasion of this? Why did he do it? Why did he do it? To call them to repentance. Did they come? Did they repent? He told them that we're going to turn to the Israel was the perfect child of God. The perfect child and Israel was the bride of God. The beautiful bride that had made herself into a Jezebel. You know, the law of God told us in the Old Testament that, Bill, if you took a bride and on your wedding night you found out that she was not a virgin, you could take her back home. She wasn't worthy of the price you paid for her. Forget it. Take her back home. All of the price you paid for her and everything else was null and void because she wasn't worthy of it. Okay? Because you had bought a virgin bride. OK? And you didn't get one. Israel was supposed to be a virgin bride of God. And God tells His churches today, what? You are a spouse virgin. Be pure and wait for Me. All right? Now, He displaced them. This is not the interpretation of the Scripture, but we can use an application of it, can't we? This is application now. This is not interpretation, but application. Application is that I want my bride to be pure. I want her to be doctrinally sound, and that's my job. That's what I try to do as your teacher, is to make you sound in the Word of God. That is my whole purpose left in this world, is to make you sound in God's truth, because God wants His bride to know Him. and know who she is, and know her responsibilities to her husband. And we're members of this church, and we're a spouse bride. This church is a spouse bride of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we need to keep ourself pure and unspotted from the world. Okay? Application of the Scripture. Not interpretation, but application to today, all right? Now some people, they very seldom will use it as a direct. We're talking to the administrators of God's kingdom. Jesus is talking to them. So the secondary application of that, you could use it today because the Lord's churches are administrators in His kingdom. Now to use it totally out of context, you can also apply it to people that are lost in the world, but really you're kind of resting it up aren't you? And you can say, look, don't reject God. Come, He's prepared salvation for you. Don't reject that salvation. He says in another place, He says, depart from Me, ye workers of iniquity, into outer darkness. Out there, in outer darkness. Get out of here. That's where you deserve to be. Boy, that's where Israel was, wasn't it? Most of those people went to hell. He's talking primary interpretation, talking to the nation of Israel as the administrators of God's kingdom. Bad business to reject the kingdom. Bad business for a wife to insult her husband. You like that one didn't you? Bad business. But that's exactly what she's been doing. Not only that, but the administrator of God's kingdom was trying to frame the sun, the air. As we see in another parable, Jesus told about a parable of a landowner that leased out his land to sharecroppers. And these sharecroppers wouldn't pay the money to the landowner. So he sent out his servants, and what did they do to the servants? They beat them up and sent them home without any money. So he said, I will send my son. Surely they will respect him. What did they do to the son? They said, this is the heir. Let's murder him. And therefore, the land can't be passed on to them. Thank you so much for your attention today. I hope you learned. I hope you enjoyed the lesson. I hope, have you, do you know the difference between interpretation of scripture and now application of scripture? When you teach, remember that. Never take and apply, use a scripture, interpret a scripture and then use it as an application without telling the primary interpretation of that scripture. Be honest with them, don't confuse people. Always tell them the primary interpretation and then the application. But we'll be able to when you dismiss us in prayer and then we'll go out there and just kind of be quiet as you go out.
