The Mystery Parables, as taught by Christ and recorded by Matthew, reveal the evolution of Christendom through the course of its history, and clearly mark the change and movement of the Church from one age to another. What Jesus is revealing in the Mystery Parables is not a picture of the true Church of Christ per se, but a glimpse of professing Christianity during the interval of time between His first and second comings to earth. In time the lowly upper room was forsaken, Biblical truths were corrupted with leaven, and the little body of faithful believers became lost in a great multitude of unbelievers, as birds of every variety found accommodation in the branches of the mushrooming tree of Christendom.
