Parable Teachings on the Kingdom and End Times
The lesson notes from Rev. D. M. Stearns interpret several parables in Matthew 13, focusing on the mystery of the kingdom during this age, the growth of the church, the presence of enemies, and the final harvest. It argues that the end of the age will bring judgment, the righteous and wicked coexisting until then, and warns against overoptimistic views of universal church holiness before Christ’s return.
