Chapter 7

Settling Accounts Over the Use of Christ’s Funds

1. What government is without any economic problems, and who now have to settle accounts with this government?

WITH one exception, there is no government without economic problems. Most governments are in heavy debt. The one government that is an exception is the now widely proclaimed “kingdom of the heavens.” (Matthew 25:1) There are still on earth those prospective members of that heavenly Kingdom who are in the service of that government. During this most critical period of all human history, these servants of “the kingdom of the heavens” are being called to account. They have to settle with the government as to how they have used the valuable things entrusted to them.

4. What did the master say to those slaves who increased the number of the talents?

⁴ “After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.

—Matthew 25:13-30.
