Jesus spoke to his disciples about speaking to the people in parables but Jesus taught his disciples the secrets of heaven, so does this mean there is a hidden meaning to the Bible or was this hidden knowledge kept from the people?

Matthew 13:10-18 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? (11) He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. (12) For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. (13) Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. (14) And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: (15) For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. (16) But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. (17) For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. (18) Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

Thank God we have been told to follow Christ—not to go ahead of Him. Even in darkness the path is sure. —Mother Teresa

John the Baptist had quite a task. He had to precede Jesus; all we have to do is follow. As Christmas draws near, consider how closely you have been following Jesus. If Christ is the center of your life and the basis of every choice, you’ll find yourself agonizing less and rejoicing that the way has been paved before us.
Stay the path.

Peace Be With You,
Debra

Jesus returns with a vengeance sounds like horror to me.

What are your thoughts on such horror "to come"?

People of the Past living in the time of Jesus failed to recognize Him as judged him as He appeared with none of those signs were fullfilled literally, mentioned by Moses ,like He will come on the cloud or He will kill the enemy with the sword and will seat on throne of David ,will come from an unknown place these things made the people make a wrong judgement as lost the true spirit and meanings of the book.
Even though He came on the cloud as they misjudged Him didn`t see His true identity ,killed the enemy of the hearts of many nations later on with His teachings and made them living safe ,His message was from Unknown place to us which is from heaven not earth,,,,,,,,,,and now how these people can claim they will know him when returned? Even though He has said I shall come to you like a Theif in The Night.

Near death experiences. Many, many, many people have had them. Isn't that proof that you dont just disappear when you die?
