Answer #12

               Now that we understand that the parable of the “minas” refers only to 1^st century Christians, then this parable must be portraying events in our modern times hence he uses “talents” rather than “minas,” as the “Sacred Secrets” are more fully understood today than in the 1^st century.  The “man” in this parable is the Modern-day Servant and “his slaves” are the reformers, who will have to prove themselves faithful during the future “Great Tribulation.”
