Greetings  in Y'shua!

An important study has just been updated and expanded significantly on The Open Scroll .

The biblical accounts of the feeding of the five thousand offer a wonderful story of loving concern and a miracle of provision. Beyond that it is a sign, a prophetic parable! The story is a valid historical record, yet, there is much more to it than meets the eye. This miraculous provision of physical food with a temporary physical benefit is the Author's testimony of a supernatural provision with eternal benefit! It is a prophetic witness of the last days, of this season during which eternal life is offered and which will shortly be brought to its conclusion in resurrection. It testifies to us now of the resurrection of the Bride and the sealing and commission of 144,000 sons of Israel. In its context we also find parables of the next resurrection in sequence, linked to the first in a most excellent way!

I had first written of this subject back in the mid-nineties and hadn't revisited the study until now, August 2008. I had been content with the presentation until just recently, when I was struck by how long it had been since I wrote it and how popular it has remained. In revisiting it I have been blessed with far more insight into the symbols present. That increase translates into more quantity as the page has grown from one of the more abbreviated to one of the more robust presentations on the site. While it has taken considerably longer than I anticipated to post this update, the time invested has been so thoroughly enjoyable as I have known the Lord's presence in the undertaking. What a joy it is to know and serve Him, the bread of life! I pray you will find His presence with you in this adventure in discovery that is, itself, a breaking of bread.

That's how the study begins. You'll find some really fascinating insights into things like what it means when Jesus walks on water. I believe these are very serious times and there is a critical need to have ears to hear and to bend them to what the prophetic parables have to say to us. today!
