Greetings. Many modern companies use swipe cards to monitor their employee coming and going. These cards can also deny you access into their facilities. How being granted access into the mystery of God’s hidden kingdom which is His holy word. Mark 4:11And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto that are without, all these things are done in parables. Here, Jesus is letting his discipline [followers] know that something had been exclusively granted to them and not to all men and women: like those physical secret societies we might have heard about.  Matthew 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. God has a hidden wisdom concealed to the carnal mind of man, His words are parables that have been kept secret. The Apostle Paul inspired by the Holy Ghost: that great writer of many new testament letters saw this by revelation.  1 Corinthians 2:7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory. Ephesians 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will. God will is His word, it’s His spiritual bread from heaven. John 4:34  Jesus saith unto them,My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. To be granted access to His complete word we have to go thought great tribulation. Matthew 24:21  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. This tribulation has nothing to do with anything physical but happens in the mind. It has to be revealed to us, that just because one quits: being a bar fly, or chasing women or men, or smoking dope and learn that they are not saved; these people despise such a thought either from a physical person or themselves. Luke 18:9  And he spake this parable unto certain which in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others. Believe me most people in the Churches never stop doing lewd things and if they did, these things are only a outward show to the public. Galatians 6:12  As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. Circumcised in the above verses is not taking about anything physical. Spiritual circumcision is a work by God to separate or cut away our fleshly thinking.  We try to physically circumcise ourselves by our own law represented in the next verse with physical stones. Mark 5:5  And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.  When we try make ourselves righteous by something physically we can do, thus we are liken to a man with an unclean spirit: cutting himself with the law or stones. Mark 5:2  And when he was come out of ship, immediately there met him out of tombs a man with an unclean spirit.  God spiritually must cut away our unclean thinking: then and only then can you worship the true and living GOD. Colossians 2:11In whom also are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in the putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ.See in the above parable or scripture how the Spiritual circumcision is hidden: to those that are without any spiritual understanding!​  Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto that are without, all these things are done in parables.  Mark 4:17  And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. God’s revealed word brings persecution to our carnal thoughts and we get offended. What? ''You’re trying to say I'm not saved''? Yes! This is the great tribulation. For 25 years, I made a great show in the flesh to friend’s and relatives alike. I looked holy to many, but to God I was still unclean. Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. I had done the first circumcision an outward acts of what man says what holiest is. Now it was time to suffer the great tribulation period of the cross: to begin to crucify Michael Hodges thinking and we only just begun: help me Lord. Galatians 5:24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.Michael hodges: excess granted. 10/30/2016/ amended 1/28/2020 /5/6/2021
