Where is the "Outer Darkness?" 4-14-25

There are some may be thinking that a saved person cannot be in “Outer Darkness” because of way some scholars have interpreted and think that outer darkness is hell.

The Master, who was Jesus came He distributed talents to His servants. The Master was symbolic of Christ giving gifts to people.

Since Jesus had not died and risen from the dead the talents would have been the same as gifts under the new and better covenant. In studying the Word of God, one must connect all the dots; or else the Word will not be rightly divided; therefore, it will be misunderstood.

Symbolism- The Master represented Jesus Christ who came from a far country (heaven) and distributed talents to His servants (Matthew 25:14-30). Afterward the Master (Jesus Christ) went back to heaven.

Ephesians 4:8-11: When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive and gave gifts to men.  He ascended—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?  He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things. And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,  for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry.

A long time later the Master came for His servants to account for what He had entrusted to them (Matthew 25:19). This represents the Judgment Seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10).

This is why it is so important that we know what our gifts (assignments) are. We are guaranteed heaven, but it is the rewards that make the difference.

Every child of God has a special grace/anointing for ministry, and God expects to fulfill His purpose in our lives. So many people don’t have a clue as to what God has called them to do. It is time to find out if you want to be about our Father’s business.

Since outer darkness is in heaven, it means that some people who did not do what they were called to do, will still be in the kingdom, but they will not have rulership like the ones who were faithful. Notice that Jesus called the ones who fulfilled their called “Good and Faithful Servants”

It is a shame that so many people will try not to find out what their specific assignment (gift) is. It is my desire for people to have an understanding, so tomorrow I plan to post a message about the wedding feast. Hopefully, This will give the readers a deeper insight.  

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints (Ephesians 1:17-18).

We have already inherited eternal life, what about the rewards from our service? AND! How can Jesus have His own servants cast into hell if that's where the outer darkness is? Didn't Jesus said they shall never perish, and the ones His Father gave to Him could not be plucked out of His hand (John 10:28)?
