INTRODUCTION
After hearing the parables of the sower and wheat and tares, perhaps the disciples began to think that the kingdom would be a FAILURE if so many REJECTED it. Their dreams for PEACE, FREEDOM, PROSPERITY, RIGHTEOUSNESS and a REVIVED JEWISH NATION was a seemingly FOREGONE DREAM.
Jesus however shows to them that the KINGDOM was not a FAILURE but that it would simply be HIDDEN for a TIME, but would once again REAPPEAR in the FUTURE.
