For years the so-called faithfull slave has brainwashed us with their doctrine. A couple of days ago in my mind something happened. It is a thing I think is NEVER looked at because it is in between the sentences. I am wondering what YOU guys make of it.
Here the text about the slave states the following in Matthew 24:45-47:
“Who then is v the faithful and w wise servant, 3 whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 x Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 47 Truly, I say to you, y he will set him over all his possessions. 48 But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master z is delayed,’ 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants 4 and eats and drinks with a drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come b on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know 51 and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place c there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
There are some very important factors in this text:
1. Faithfull and wise servant 2. wicked servant 3. master 4. household 5. possessions 6. fellow servants
Now... number 1 and 2 are the same servant in the parabel... they are the same person but get a "stamp" according to what their actions are... there is NO seperate servant. It is a condition.
number 3 is the master... this is Jesus of course...
number 4 ... household... who are they? Are they the slaves? I do not think so to be honest!
number 5 fellow servants ... is the 'so-called' faithfull slave alone? he is just one of the other servants...
number 6 the possessions? Do we know? Is it materials, people etc? For one thing: it is NOT people... it is belongings
Now comes the part where my brain got me in... who get's inspected... the servant(s), the household... or both?
According to the text ONLY the servants are being inspected! Does this mean that the household gets destroyed while Christ comes to check the servant out? No! Only the servants gets inspected and the household is left in its state... Does a slave get the authority over the household? Absolutely not! He gets (if he fits the conditions) the power over the possessions but he is NOT gonna own the HOUSEHOLD itself since he is still a servant... the household is NOT the same as the possession.
In all these years the Brooklyn bobo's mix these things together... but a slave is NEVER bigger then the master and NEVER bigger then the household... he still remains a "slave" and he is not allowed to kick his fellow servants...
So... what does this mean? It means (as most of us already know) that every servant is judged seperately. It is also parabel with the illustration of the Maidens that comes in the texts right after it. It was an illustration instead of a prophecy!
