Oh, the prophecy has been fulfilled? Then I've better stop driving by the wheat fields looking for the sheaves coming to life. I just has a bad habit going by the letter.
A parable is a succinct, didactic story, in prose or verse, which illustrates one or more instructive lessons or principles. It differs from afable in that fables employ animals, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature as characters, whereas parables have human characters. A parable is a type of analogy.[SUP][1][/SUP]
Some scholars of the canonical gospels and the New Testament apply the term "parable" only to the parables of Jesus,[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][3][/SUP] though that is not a common restriction of the term. Parables such as "The Prodigal Son" are central to Jesus' teaching method in both the canonical narratives and the apocrypha.
Etymology[edit]
The word parable comes from the Greek παραβολή (parabolē), meaning "comparison, illustration, analogy."[SUP][4][/SUP] It was the name given by Greek rhetoricians to an illustration in the form of a brief fictional narrative.
