But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, "'they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!'" Isaiah 6:9-10 Mark 4:11,12 Copy of scan0004 Why do you speak to the people in parables? Mat 13:11-17 The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. Copy of scan0004 Mat 13:11-17 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; Copy of scan0004 Mat 13:11-17 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, Copy of scan0004 Mat 13:11-17 understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.' But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. Copy of scan0004 Mat 13:11-17 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. http://simplefreechurch.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/ezekiel-lying.jpg Ezekiel-A living http://www.churchleaders.com/thumbnail.php?file=article_images/tongue_tied_worship_leaders_9922 24879.jpg&size=article_large Allegory http://allieiswired.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/spencer-pratt-shaves.jpg Now, son of man, take a sharp sword and use it as a barber's razor to shave your head and your beard.
