time. The Holy Spirit, the counselor, whose testimony is essential, will be rejected. Jesus said to clarify this point; “I t e l l y ou t he t ru t h , any one who has f a i t h i n me wi l l do wha t I hav e be en do i ng . He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. ‘If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.’” (John 4: 12-17) What humanity at large thinks is of little importance if the truth is not perceived accurately. The explanations that Jesus gave were perfect. When they asked Him about the parable of the sower of the seed, He replied; “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the g ood s e ed s t ands f o r t he s ons o f t he ki ngdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The har v e s t i s t he end o f t he ag e , and t he har v e s t e r s ar e ang e l s . As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears let him hear.” “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.” (Matthew 13:37-44) Jesus used veiled language and spoke in parables to withhold the secrets, as such, He likened Himself to the son of man, but distinguished a difference between the Son of God and the son of man. Satan remained unaware, until after the crucifixion. Satan now knows the difference, and so should those who proclaim or desire to be Christian. The truth is revealed in a word, or collective words, that convey a complete thought. Perfect perception comprehends the essence of the word and intended thoughts convey the truth as intended by God from the beginning of time. A word is a spoken thought and this counselor speaks according to what he hears, precisely as Jesus proclaimed. Jesus revealed this thought for a specific reason saying; “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He wi l l no t speak on h i s own ; he wi l l speak on l y wha t he hear s , and he wi l l t e l l y ou wha t i s y e t t o c ome . He wi l l br i ng
