Why did Jesus taught in Parables knowing no one will understand it?

Answer 1

Answer:

The whole world isn't supposed to understand the Truth of the Kingdom of God, yet. The world WILL understand when God's plan is done... but He isn't calling everyone, yet.

Jesus reveals His parables ONLY TO THOSE WHOM HIS FATHER IS CALLING NOW. It's these "predestined," "called-out-ones"... God's "elect" who are given the understanding of God's Truth at this time during this first 6000 years of man's trying to govern himself without his Creator's interference. Governments that are under the evil influence of man's chosen god, Satan... the god of this world.

Only a select few people whom God has been calling out from each of the generations of men since Abel are being given the understanding of God's Truth... because these people are "training for Kingdom rulership positions" to CO-RULE the coming Kingdom of God over the nations of the earth under Jesus Christ.

God is training up rulers who are OBEDIENT to His voice and His laws. Something to which carnal minded man is naturally rebellious.

"The sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so." (Rom.8:7 NIV)

Only a human mind (spirit) that is opened, changed, converted and receptive to God's Word can become or be trained to be obedient to the laws of God. And only God can open the human minds of those whom He is calling.

It's not that "no one" can understand Jesus' parables. It's just the future leaders of the coming Kingdom of God who are GIVEN the understanding of them for now. Jesus always explained them to His disciples in private, after the crowds were gone.

"The disciples came to Him and asked, 'Why do you speak to the people in parables?' He replied, 'The knowledge of the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU, but not to them..." (Matt.13:10-11 NIV).

"This is why I speak to them in parables: 'Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.' " (Matt.13:13-15 NIV)

"But BLESSED ARE YOUR EYES BECAUSE THEY SEE, AND YOUR EARS BECAUSE THEY HEAR." (verse 16)

"...for I tell you the Truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it. 'Listen then to WHAT THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER MEANS: When anyone hears the message about the Kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. (verses 17-19)

"The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the Word and at once receives it with joy. But since it has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the Word, he quickly falls away. (verses 20-21)

"The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the Word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. (verse 22)

"But the one who received the Word that fell on good soil is the man who hears the Word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.'" (verse 23)

Jesus then told three more parables to the crowd: "the Kingdom of Heaven is like... the Kingdom of Heaven is like... the Kingdom of Heaven is like...".

"Then He left the crowd and went into the (His) house. His disciples came to Him and said, 'Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field..." (verse 36).

And Jesus explained to them the symbols of the parable of the weeds... and told them three more "Kingdom parables" and said:

"'Have you understood all these things?'... 'Yes,' they replied." (verse 51)

God's Word explains His plan to those with the ears to hear. These people are being trained by Jesus through His Word to become "obedient servants" to God's laws. They are learning to care about other people... their brothers and sisters... about the future Family of God that shall one day live in the Kingdom of God being prepared for GOD'S FAMILY.

God's called-out-ones shall be fully trained... and have the full power of God... to rule over the nations when the time comes. It won't be like Bush's takeover of Iraq, where confusion reigned in the resulting ABSENCE of government leadership once Saddam was removed.

"In the time of those kings. the God of heaven will set up a Kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever." (Dan.2:44 NIV)

"But the saints of the Most High will receive the Kingdom and will possess it forever - yes, for ever and ever." (Dan.7:18 NIV)

"Only hold on to what you have until I come. To him who overcomes and does My will to the end, I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS - he will rule them with an iron scepter. he will dash them to pieces like pottery..." (Rev.2:25-27 NIV).

Someone understands Jesus' parables. They are the "first generation" of God's Children in the process of learning obedience, and growing and developing in Godly love and character. They are the future leaders of God's growing Family.

The Father has "many mansions" (chambers, offices, jobs, positions) to fill in His preparation of His Kingdom. And when they're filled, He will send His Son back to earth with many crowns to give to His faithful and obedient Children.

"Jesus said to them (His disciples), 'I tell you the Truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." (Matt.19:28 NIV)

Someone understands Jesus' parables.

Answer 2

Jesus asnwered this question in Matthew:

Matthew13:10 And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?"

Matthew 13:11 He answered and said to them, "Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

Some people were not sincerely seeking the truth so the teacjing was hidden from them in parables.
