Hello Doves,I've wanted to write for some time that I feel the parable of the Prodigal Son
is an encoded endtime message about the return of the Jewish People when they
realize Jesus IS the Messiah. The prodigal son is an allegory of the Jewish
People "coming to themselves" and realizing they need to go back home to their
father after "wasting their inheritance". When they come back and realize that
Jesus is Messiah, there will be much feasting and joy. The Gentiles who were
faithfull all those centuries to the Father as Christians, could be the brother
that stayed at home. I don't want to step on any toes, but the Gentiles (myself
included) need to be ready in their hearts for this homecoming of the Jewish
people to Messiah and the Father, and not get jealous, because it's going to be
a BIG celebration and it's going to happen!!!!Luke 15:11-31
11 Then He said: "A certain man had two sons. 12 And the younger of them said to
his father, 'Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.' So he
divided to them his livelihood. 13 And not many days after, the younger son
gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his
possessions with prodigal living. 14 But when he had spent all, there arose a
severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want. 15 Then he went and
joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to
feed swine. 16 And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that
the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.
17 "But when he came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired
servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will
arise and go to my father, and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against
heaven and before you, 19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make
me like one of your hired servants."'
20 "And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off,
his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed
him. 21 And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and in
your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
22 "But the father said to his servants, 'Bring[b] out the best robe and put it
on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. 23 And bring the
fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; 24 for this my son
was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' And they began to be
merry.
25 "Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the
house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked
what these things meant. 27 And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and
because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted
calf.'
28 "But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and
pleaded with him. 29 So he answered and said to his father, 'Lo, these many
years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any
time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my
friends. 30 But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your
livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.'
31 "And he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is
yours. 32 It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother
was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.'"http://www.churchisraelforum.com/how_did_a_nice_jewish_church_become_gentile.htm
