12
Therefore he said: A certain man of noble birth traveled to a distant land
to receive [a] kingdom to himself and to return (amended translation from
Greek).
13 Calling ten slaves of his he gave them ten minas and told them: Do
business till I come.
14 But his citizens hated him and sent out a body of ambassadors/delegation
after him, to say: We do not want this [one] to reign over us.
15 Eventually when he got back after having received the kingdom
[after the Gentile Times had
ended], he commanded to be called to him these slaves to whom he had
given the silver money (argurion), in order to ascertain what they had gained by business
activity.
16 Then the first one presented himself, saying: Lord, your mina gained ten
minas.
17 So he said to him: Well done, good slave! Because in a very small matter you
have proved yourself faithful, hold authority [earthly
and the heavenly - that is why they were resurrected in the presence] over ten cities.
18 Now the second came, saying: Your mina, Lord, made five minas.
19 He said to this one also: You, too,
be in charge [directly
from earth] of five cities.
20 But a different one came, saying: Lord, here is your mina, that I kept laid
away in a cloth.
21 You see, I was in fear of you, because you are a harsh man;
you take up what
you did not deposit and you reap what you did not sow.
22 He said to him: Out of your own mouth I judge you, wicked (ponhre)
slave. You knew, that I am a harsh man, taking up what I did not
deposit and reaping what I did not sow?
23 Hence why is it you did not put my silver money
(argurion) in a bank
(singular)?
Then on my arrival/having come I would have collected it with interest.
24 With that he said to those standing by: Take the mina from him and give it to
him that has the ten minas.
25 But they said to him: Lord, he has ten minas!
26 I say to you, to everyone that has, more will be given; but from the one that
does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
27 Moreover, these enemies of mine that did not want me to
reign over them
bring here and slaughter them before me (Luke 19:12-27 NWT adapted from
Greek).
The literal moral message is, use your bosses assets wisely even when he is not around. There are two Successive Repeated Actions in verse 22. We are not completely sure how this affects the account. We believe that it relates to the fact that Jesus says: Do business until I come twice, once in each presence, to the totality of 10 presidents of FDS1 and FDS3 who do such business. It only affects the word symbolic meaning of course.
The Wicked slave is saying to Jesus that he takes up what he doesn't deposit anyway, so what was the point in his depositing the talent for Jesus. Jesus replies, true enough, but you have lost me the interest I would have got had you deposited it as instructed. In fact Jesus through Peter, judges Gabriel's kids (the sons of the 2AC), either throwing them away in the old FDS (taking them up/out) or bringing them into the new FDS (reaping them).
Gabriel is the man (having possessed 5 non adamics) of noble/angelic birth in the event symbolic meaning, which is the story of his administration from heaven of the water baptised. Michael is the man of precisely the same constitution in the word symbolic meaning, which is the story of his administration of FDS1 and FDS3 on earth. Whereas in Matthew 25, the parable of the Talents, Melchizedek is the man (non adamic but not angelically possessed) in the event symbolic meaning, which is the story of his administration of the faithful and unbaptised and Michael is the man (non adamic and angelically possessed) in the word symbolic meaning, which is the story of all the administrations of the 4 true Christians religions. So the Talents and the Minas together give you the whole picture for the sons of faith, under the angelic administration of Melchizedek, the sons of the 1AC, and the sons of perfect flesh, the sons of the 2AC by water baptism, under the angelic administration of Gabriel, and the sons of the 3AC, by spirit baptism, under the angelic administration of Michael. It is a triple act... uh - oh.
The writer and possibly the reader hitherto believed that Gabriel and Melchizedek just turn up half way through Armageddon, take a bow, and then return to 'Unspecified heavenly duties'. The Minas show us that they continue to manage their respective progeny in the Kingdom of God, as all good fathers would be expected to do. It is only human fathers who ditch their kids totally and leave them and their abandoned mother and go off shirking their God given responsibilities to fornicate elsewhere, in order to prove to themselves how desirable they are to other women in circumstances where they find their own progeny entirely undesirable. They thereby condemn themselves.
15
What is lofty among men is a disgusting thing in God's sight (Luke 16).
Incidentally, there is no need for any sons or daughters of any Abrahamic
covenant to serve two masters. The sons of faith serve Melchizedek (in
ignorance) unless or until they enter the 2AC or the 3AC, at which time they
serve either Gabriel or Michael. If the servants of Gabriel (who help him make
more kids and help him with other family matters) enter into the 3AC, then they
serve Michael. The priority is Michael > Gabriel > Melchizedek.
The account is about 10 unsanctified elders in the congregation of either FDS1 or FDS3 in the event symbolism and about the 10 presidents of FDS1 and FDS3, 5 in each presence, in the word symbolic meaning. The master said to 10 slaves:
13 Do business till I come (Luke 19).
Given the understandings of the parable of the slaves given the talents in Matthew 25 see [35], this parable proves that Jesus comes to end the business of each first slave in each presence, FDS1 and FDS3, and that each business only lasts for 5 watches before the coming, whereupon a new FDS is appointed (FDS2 and FDS4). We are using the term 'watch' to mean 'presidency'. So Jesus comes during the 5th watch. This is also apparent from the fact that advice to watch out for Jesus' coming ceases in the counsel to Sardis, the 5th congregation in Revelation 3.
There are no successive designations or descriptions in the account. So we are just looking at one word symbolic meaning. The phrase 'silver money' is repeated, so the account is about Christians (God's money) not cash - by the Repetition Principle. If the phrase 'silver money' only appeared once in the account then, the holy code would be broken.
The Event and Word Symbolisms are:
|
Man (3) of noble birth |
Non adamic men of angelic birth: 1. Gabriel. 2. Jesus Christ |
|
Distant Land |
Heaven |
|
Receive Kingdom (2) and return |
1. Gabriel returns during Armageddon to become King over the water baptised in the Kingdom of God and appoint his sons with earthly administrative positions in the Kingdom. 2. Jesus after the end of the Gentile Times [123], appointed Peter over the next 5 administrations of FDS3 (from heaven) and Russell was also appointed presumably under Peter. |
| Your/the Mina (4) | 1. A congregation of water baptised Christians within FDS1 or FDS3, 2. The entire congregation of spirit baptised Christians in a watch of FDS1 or FDS3 |
| Minas (5) | A congregation of water baptised Christians in FDS1 or FDS3 |
|
Slave (2) |
1. Unsanctified presiding overseer of a congregation under FDS1 or FDS3. 2. A president of FDS1 or FDS3 after his presidency ends. This is after his death, in the Kingdom of God (after 1914) in heaven for the two good slaves and after the fall of WSS2 for the wicked slave. |
|
Slaves (2) |
1. Unsanctified presiding overseers of congregations under FDS1 or FDS3. 2. Presidents of FDS1 or FDS3. |
|
10 Slaves |
1. 10 unsanctified presiding overseers of congregations in FDS1 or FDS3. The 10 presidents of the 5 watches in both presences, of FDS1 and FDS3 |
|
10 Minas |
1. The 10 water baptised congregations overseen by the 10 presiding overseers 2. The 10 water baptised congregations at the beginning of each of the 10 watches of FDS1 & FDS3 |
|
Do business till I come |
1. Gabriel comes to appoint the new Elijah at the start of FDS2 and FDS4, in the 5th watches of FDS1 and FDS3. 2. Jesus comes in 5th watch of FDS1 and of FDS3 to appoint the new FDS2/4. |
|
Citizens hated him |
Members of the congregations hated the new king chosen by 1. Gabriel when he comes through the next Elijah and 2. Michael when he comes to appoint the next FDS. This king is Elijah2 the first president of FDS2 in the first presence and Elijah4, the first president of FDS4 in the second, so Michael and Gabriel pick the same king!! They are in union with each other, they know about team work. |
|
Body of ambassadors sent out after him |
1. and 2. During the 5th watch of FDS1 and FDS3 the appointment of the new FDS2/FDS4 is made known. Rather than accepting this new slave, the 5th watch reconstitutes itself as a group of Ambassadors not for Christ, but rather for themselves, like the political parties of the world. this group is WSS1 in the first presence and WSS2 in the second, it is a water baptised group until it is disfellowshipped becoming GNS1 and GNS2 - see [35]. Whereas Paul says: 20 We are therefore
ambassadors substituting for Christ, as though God were making entreaty through
us. As substitutes for Christ we beg: Become reconciled to God (2
Corinthians 5). |
|
We do not want this [one] to become king over us |
Water baptised and sanctified brothers Gabriel's choices of Paul and Gordon or Michael's choices of Paul and Gordon. Which means that they want neither their father Gabriel (CRC) or their father Michael (ARC) |
|
Silver Money (2) |
1. Water baptised Christians. 2. Second new covenant (Rachel) or 2nd New Covenant Helpers (Bilhah). The 2NC saints and the EHC saints are obviously sanctified second. Silver means 'second in time' in bible symbolism. |
|
First slave |
Peter |
|
10 minas gained (inclusive) |
10 fold increase in first watch, 3k to 30k (water baptised), [proshrgasato, worked itself towards] |
|
10 cities |
10 watches, administrations, of FDS1 & FDS3. Peter has authority of them all from earth and from heaven. |
|
Well done good slave |
Peter was 1st president of FDS1 |
|
Second slave |
Russell |
|
5 minas made (inclusive) |
5 fold increase in Russell's watch (water baptised), [epoihsen, made] 2,250 in 1895Tishri to 11,250 in 1916 |
|
5 Cities |
5 watches of FDS3. Russell has authority over them all, from earth and from heaven. |
|
No 'well done good slave' |
FDS3 was appointed after Russell died. He lost the love he had at first for God. But he has regained it now, in heaven |
| Another one |
1. A presiding overseer who during the 5th presidency of FDS1 (Jude) or the 5th
presidency of FDS3 (Henschel), fails to put the water baptised Christians in a
bank, in other words he fails to listen to the direction of the holy spirit as
regards what to do with them, which direction is coming from the new FDS. He
listens instead to the direction of the old fallen FDS. which is now the WSS.
The point is that if you try and expand or teach your congregation without the
help of the heavens, you will achieve nothing.
2. The 5th president of FDS3 (Henschel), who fails to put the 2NC saints in a bank, in other words he fails to listen to the direction of the holy spirit as regards what to do with them, which direction is coming from heaven through FDS4 and the scriptures. |
|
Cloth [Soudarion] |
Garment of death for Lazarus and Jesus, and birth garment for Jesus. 1. The idolatrous Presiding overseer refused to allow his water baptised flock to join the new FDS and become sanctified, so he was keeping them in a death garment. 2. Henschel hid the 2NC saints in a death garment, he failed to reveal that they were anointed. |
|
Out of your own mouth I judge you wicked slave |
1. Idolatrous presiding overseer who loves the slave more than the master of the slave. 2. Henschel was the head of evil slave, judged out of his own mouth, so he was not sowed by Jesus, he was unsanctified, he was not anointed. |
|
Take up what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow |
1. Gabriel takes up faithful brothers for water baptism, when their faith is deposited by Melchizedek not him. Likewise in the event symbolism he reaps brothers who Melchizedek has sown. 2. Michael also takes up brothers for spirit baptism whose faith was deposited by Melchizedek, and he reaps where Melchizedek has sown. |
|
Take the mina from him and Give it to him that has 10 minas |
1. In the Kingdom of God on earth, give the faithful ones of the congregation to the best possible overseer. 2. Peter from heaven is given control of those in WSS2 when it falls becoming GNS2. At that time he no longer has to direct the brother through a wicked slave, he can deal directly with them. |
|
Slaughter them before me |
1. and 2. Armageddon, those in GNS2 are slaughtered before Gabriel and Michael. (This does not occur to those in GNS1 of course - but this slaughter is after the end of the Gentile Times, so it only relates to those in GNS2). The account in both symbolisms refers to both presences however. |
|
Those standing by |
1. Angels who rapture people at Armageddon. 2. FDS4, ‘standing by’ means listening to heavenly instruction and, ready to put the Mina of Henschel, the remnant, back into a saved state, by water baptising them, giving them back to Peter with 10 minas, and Jesus, putting them in the bank. |
To see precisely who were the 5 presidents of FDS1 and the first 2 presidents of FDS2 - see [233].
The wicked slave of Luke 19 in the word symbolism is the president of the Evil slave of Matthew 24 by the No Coincidences Principle. FDS1 and FDS3 both become the evil slave of Matthew 24 which is the Wicked and Sluggish slave of Matthew 25, whose head in the wicked slave of Luke 19, and then when the WSSs are judged and disfellowshipped, they become the Good for nothing slaves (GNSs) of Matthew 25. See [33], [34], [35]. These slaves finally are cast outside when they become false religious administrations.
The theme for both the FDSs of spiritual Israel, the new covenant saints (FDS1 and FDS3) appears to be that the first watch has a multiplicative increase equal to the total number of watches under authority of each FDS. We are taking FDS3 to be under the authority of FDS1, which they were from a baptism point of view, because FDS1 in heaven was sanctifying and sealing FDS3 up to the 4th watch. In fact God always uses his family values as his administration philosophy. So those who baptise 1NC and 2NC saints from heaven, are their fathers, so they will be looking after their children. So FDS1 has authority over 10 watches, due to a ten times increase during its first watch, and FDS3 has authority over 5 watches due to a 5 times increase in its first watch. The 5th watch of FDS3 having no increase has no further watch afterwards. Very straightforward, but more prophetic than judicial we would suggest.
The increases under the first 6 watches of the Lord's day are recorded in Numbers 11 when God says, referring to the feeding program of meat, which is the food of FDS4, compared with the manna of FDS3:

| GNS1 | When WSS1 loses its water baptism in 75Nisan, it becomes the Good for nothing slave, GNS1. GNS1 loses its 1AC capability just before 79Nisan at which time it becomes a false religion. This was the start of the Roman Catholic Church. |

Zilpah, 49 presidents. FDS2 loses its water baptism in 444Tishri, 4x before 1884Tishri. Not sure how long its 1AC capability lasted after that, possibly 2 more presidents (Making 56 in all which together with 14 from both presences gives 70) see Revelation 1 - U151. |

|
WSS2 |
Fallen from exclusivity (1995Tishri15), wicked and sluggish and evil and demonised but not yet disfellowshipped. This slave only gets one talent, so it has only one president (Milton Henschel) who was also the 5th president of FDS3. |
|
GNS2 |
When WSS2 is disfellowshipped at the end of the second coming of the second presence which is the start of the manifestation of the presence. The Watchtower was disfellowshipped on 2001Tishri30 becoming GNS2. GNS2 became a false religious administration on 2004Elul14, when the abomination causing desolation of Daniel 12 was placed and the constant feature of continuous true worship ended. Henschel resigned on 2000Heshvan11 from one of the Watchtower corporations, but was not replaced. |
|

OK (LWs) on the 3rd day after the fall of FDS3 (i.e. on 1995Tishri17) |

Luke warm and vomited out, but then repentant. The LWs do not lose their water baptism, a baptism of repentance. |
7 stands for events successive in time in the bible, whenever it appears. Check it our for yourself - or see [The Symbolic meaning of 7]. Time is what God counts in sevens. So the 7 congregations of Revelation are successive in the Lord's day. They are:
| Congregation of Revelation 2,3 | Food of 5,000 | President and Religion | Faithful and Discreet Slave |
| Ephesus | Loaf | Watchtower under Russell | FDS3 |
| Smyrna | Loaf | Watchtower under Rutherford | FDS3 |
| Pergamum | Loaf | Watchtower under Knorr | FDS3 |
| Thyatira | Loaf | Watchtower under Franz | FDS3 |
| Sardis | Loaf | Watchtower under Henschel | FDS3 |
| Philadelphia | Fish | Lords' Witnesses under Gordon | FDS4 |
| Laodicea | Fish | Lords' Witnesses under antetypical James | FDS4 |
So Gordon says:
37
If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.
38 But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, in
order that you may come to know and may continue knowing that the Father is in
union with me and I am in union with the Father (John
10).
