Jeremiah 23: 25I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. 26How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; 27Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. 28The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.

How Awesome is He that this video “popped up” on my recommended list! Although revealing to me that I have fallen short of managing wisely, the divine clarity of what I just watched has ignited a spark. Thank you Lord Jesus and thank you sir.

This parable (along with all of Jesus' parables) are not for the Body of Christ Church members. They are for and about Israel. Keep that in mind, and it's all very easy. It really only gets difficult when we try to apply Israel's doctrine to Paul's doctrine for the Body of Christ Church.

@@bugsocsollie1694 I would contend that although seemingly not Christ’s targeted audience, He uses the Word (yes, even His parables) to speak to His church. If we didn’t believe that, wouldn’t we put our Bibles on a shelf after having read them?

@@bugsocsollie1694 NIV 1984Romans 11:17-21. If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then,”Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
