The Hour is coming and Now Is: God is Calling
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth, 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV
And this I pray, that your love may yet abound more and more in (full knowledge-#1922=Epignosis) and all perception, for you to distinguish the things that differ, that you may be sincere and without blame for the day of Christ,
Literal Version of Philippian 1:9, 10
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter, Proverbs 25:2 KJV. Both words that were translated thing and matter are the same Hebrew word dabar, Strong's #1697 meaning word, in this context God's word. You could say that to casual inquirer God's word is already concealed.
Diligent Seekers, sekahs, are rewarded with unveiling, Revelation into the otherwise unsearchable Riches.
It takes time and effort, commitment, to understand what is being communicated at a Deeper Level in Scripture. If you are being Drawn to understanding at a Deeper Level maybe you can pick up some help from my 40+ years of commitment to Learning. In Ezekiel 47:1 - 7 there is a pictorial description of measured-levels, from water to the ankles to waters to swim in. We know that water can represent the Word, so waters to swim in may indicate that the Word, the Logos, now has you. In-Joy your time here at the beach! Marion D. Williams
NOTE: Allegory is a little different than parable. Where parable takes what is spiritual and makes it literal, allegory takes what is literal and makes it spiritual!
1 Co 2:13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual, English Standard Version. Or those who are becoming Spiritual.

The Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible,[n 1] generally known as Strong's Concordance, is a Bible concordance, an index of every word in the King James Version (KJV), constructed under the direction of American theologian James Strong. Strong first published his Concordance in 1890, while professor of exegetical theology at Drew Theological Seminary.
Strong's Concordance provides an index to the Bible. This allows the reader to find words where they appear in the Bible. It also lets the reader directly compare how the same word may be used elsewhere in the Bible, from Wikipedia.
If you are new to the Deeper Waters of the Word, anytime you see me list a number together with a Greek word reference, it is to Strong's. I almost always look at Thayer's NT Dictionary too for additional insight and I purchased and add-on Hebrew and Greek study dictionary by Spiros Zodhiates that integrates with my e-sword to further supplement my Research.
Evergreen Study Principle # 1) Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the [Word-#3056=Logos] of Truth, 2 Timothy 2:15 AMPC+.
Evergreen Study Principle # 2)...for you to [Learn to] distinguish the things that differ, that you may be sincere and without blame for the day of Christ, (Philippians 1:10 LITV)
And it came to pass, as they were conversing and reasoning together, that, Jesus himself, drawing near, was journeying with them; (Luke 24:15 Rotherham)
Here is my point, it was Jesus the Cornerstone, that was Speaking to the Disciples on Emmaus. Jesus incarnated as our Pattern. Although Jesus was Discipled by Christ, and it was Christ in Jesus that was His hope of Glorification, just as in us, SEE Colossians 1:27, 1 Cor 12:12.
(NOTE: I put green around Jesus since He came to give us Age-abiding Zoe (Eternal Life) , which is Living and Evergreen. Age-abiding, from incarnation to incarnation.)
I see you copied and pasted a few scripts together with some stray thots, still a Mixture without any degree of understanding and discernment . Which means Error in Doctrine.
What I am doing here is attempting to help you Heal of this habit of what I see after all this time invested with you as "sloppy and lazy learning".
Remember, the word translated heal includes: Thayer Definition: G2390 iaomai
