Matthew 13; Verses 33; Parable--Meal/Leaven

Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 13:33) "Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."

First let's note the whole point of a parable once again is to show both sides spiritually. So they always have a negative and positive side. The whole point is to separate truth from lie.

(A very short parable here, but yet speaks volumes, with much to say. This is all spiritual we know, hence, "the kingdom of heaven." Flesh and blood cannot and do not inherit the kingdom so we cannot be fleshly thinkers when applying the word of God. satan has all that covered when he comes as Christ/God).

But why leaven here? Doesn't leaven represent like an infectious cancer? Leaven always represents bad as in permeating and infecting. Meal = Wheat, flour. Always good. Overall, is it showing the positive and negative side. One can either use the Gospel to "pay it forward" on earth. "As thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" or negatively. This negative is not those who would flat out reject the Gospel such as an atheist. But with things and those within. Even the hidden things you do and think no one is paying attention the Lord is and the benefits or consequences we can never measure. But the Lord can certainly as He makes that point here. Remember the two witnesses come and they are measuring as well. A post we just went over. Please check the archive Revelation 11.

Let's look at some types to see where Christ is drawing these analogies in parallel for the parable(s) in the negative and the positive.

Let's look at the negative first. Christ warned of 3 types of leaven, all evil. So we must look at each of the doorways that allow them in individually first:

(Luke 12:1-2) "In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy (play-acting, "formal" stage shows).

2For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

(That is the point of the parables, deeper spiritual truth and in the end making things so simple. So stick with it).

Each time Christ would get on them about not looking to the spiritual as well,

(Mark 8:15) "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

So, mixing politics with religion. But what they did was do their politics all in the name of God, throwing out God's laws. Sound familiar?

But let's take a look at why the disconnect momentarily here with the disciples:

(Mark 8:17) "And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

(Perception comes from the mind as a result from the heart. Your heart has to be in it first then the mind will follow. This is an example up and down Scripture in moving in faith, humble yourself like a child, etc. It always begins with the heart).

Number #3, Concerning seeking signs here in Matthew 16: Remember the kingdom of heaven begins within. To see God on the outside He has to be in us, spiritually first to then see the physical. Eyes to see, and ears to hear.

Here the Sadducee's were there this time:

(Matthew 16:1) "The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven."

(Matthew 16:6) "Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees."

Now let's look at each measure in the negative for the end-times from each doctrine above mixing in then they combine (no wonder the pharisees/sadducee's ended up on the same team as Herod/Herodians, in the conspiracy against Christ?

Look who they brought with them to conspire with this question. Oh, how the plot was on:

(Matthew 22:15-17) "Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
16they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

17Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

(Religious leaders shaking hands and dirty double dealing with world leaders. Hmm).

Now, I want to point something out concerning the one world currency we cannot operate with. But we can and will trade/barter. What if satan pulls Scripture out here to force to deal with the money of the one world system coming? This is pretty easy. The money is corrupt we have to know he is, a fake representing dirty, double-dealing, corrupt, moral-less, bribery, blood money. It's two-fold. Selling out to money in name of politics while mixing religion when satan claims to be Christ/God. In other words, the force (hence god of forces) of hand by satan by using them to hold over your head.

(Daniel 11:38) "But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

See how this is accomplished? through politics and what gets them in the end will be "religion" after all.

(Revelation 13:12) "And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed."

The previous verse, the two horns he rises up with are financial/economic and religion. Of course, we all know politics is nothing but double dealing now. No one stands up for right. Make a deal to get the part I want out of it thinking they are doing right. Seriously? NOT!

To the trumpets now we have that set:

At each trumpet you have that 1/3 measure from the parable (trumpet 1 begins the famine, the green burnt up).

Politics directly and it's first, the mountains (nations, 1/3 of them into the sea of Babylon) and ships (trade, merchandise taking a blow heading to the one world currency). Hence the political to religious beast in Revelation 13.

The 2nd trumpet,

(Revelation 8:8-9) "And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;


9And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed."

The 3rd trumpet, their lamps went out, as in the foolish virgins. These are claiming Christians obviously and politics is their answer. What do they want? In combination with the ships they hire their favorite political leader who can gain their own pocketbook in an already unworthy self-serving cause. Wake up!

(Revelation 8:10-11) "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;


11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

(They are bitter against God, have all the defenses up, and of course play-acting stage shows as a result. Complete hypocrisy, claiming love but full of bitterness. Their love has waxed cold is the real truth. Fake messages like grace through faith excusing sin is all they have to hold onto. Vain so called worship).

The signs comes when satan claims to be Christ at the 6th trumpet (which we went a bit into, take a further look) Revelation 13:11-18 for that, in combination with Revelation 9:13-21; Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21.


What does it finally? As the last 1/3 in the trumpets part in combination with Revelation 9:15, the 6th trumpet. The same exact timing with a different angle for us. satan claims to be Christ/God, and the sign seekers delight. When there is nothing else, no substance, seeking signs is all there is. Remember faith is THE substance of the things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen:


(Revelation 13:14) "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live."

In the positive of course we have Christ birth, crucifixion, and resurrection. Without anyone of them we are all dead people walking. We have the 3 times Christ warned to stay awake and on watch during the hour of temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh holds us up (weak).

In the physical types from Genesis you have Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel).You have the 3 angels who visited to promise Abraham and Sarah of the upcoming childbirth of Isaac. To carry on that lineage that Christ would come.

As always we can look no further than the book of Genesis to begin:

(Genesis 18:5-6) "And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.

(Notice that, don't read over that. Comfort your hearts as stated above where it begins receiving the bread of life that is Christ let it penetrate. And NOT leaven is the point).

6And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth."

(Genesis 18:9-10) "And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.


10And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him."

We'll conclude this study here. AMEN †
