2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
2 Timothy 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes,> (Israel) that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Note on Repentance: The fact that people are called "to turn" either "to" or "away from" implies that sin is not an ineradicable stain, but by turning (repentance), a God given power, a sinner can redirect his destiny. There is with conversion, the free sovereign act of God's mercy and man's going beyond contrition and sorrow to a conscience decision of turning to God. God has done His part, says faith, so we do our human part showing forth His work of grace on our heart through our walk. Turning to God includes acceptance of all God's total will for one's life.
Strong's 3341 metanoia = Change of mind, remorse, regret, repentance from evil to good or from good to better repentance is expected to manifest itself in conduct.
Acts 26.20 The kindness of God leads to repentance.
Acts 26:20 20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.Belive for the very works sake jesus said.What work = the Kingdom coming to earth.
Romans 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
Eze 36:29
Repentance toward God based on the death of Christ is permanent. The new birth brings this about. It cannot fail so cannot be repeated. The Death of Christ is central in our salvation and not any action (work) of ours. Salvation is of the Lord. He has purchased for us eternal salvation from death.
The word proverb, parable, Allegory? ( taunt ?) (I am going to put an end to this proverb, and they will no longer quote it in Israel.') NIV
Encarta® World English Dictionary, North American Edition
Definition: (proverb) short well-known saying: a short well-known saying that expresses an obvious truth and often offers advice.
The proverb is a literary form whose origins are lost in the mists of time, and which, according to most scholars, preceded the invention of writing. It is also prevalent among peoples who are illiterate. Existing from the dawn of humanity and not confined to any specific country, proverbs transcend all frontiers. Known to the ancient Egyptians, the Chinese, the Indians and the Persians, they are also found in the Grco-Roman civilization and they left a particular imprint on the Arab and Hebrew cultures. They might be described as oral literature, the progenitor of written cultural traditions. Before man was able to express himself in writing, he was able to encapsulate the essence of his wisdom in elliptical form. The proverb, handed down from father to son, spread regardless of borders and ethnic groups. Scholars are agreed that many proverbs found among one people can be traced in others.
This is why we need the Spirit of truth after God built his church on the rock Jesus.
Matthew 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: KJV (Hearing but they shall not understand!! (With out the Gift of the Holy Spirit!!) Don't fight it!!
Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you His (disciples) it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: (Notice you must be within the kingdom.) To get in the Kingdom you must be born again. (Some were chosen some were not.) I have you and not you me.
Mark 4:34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. You must be a disciple.
Parable, the term translates the Hebrew word "mashal"—a term denoting a metaphor, or an enigmatic saying or an analogy. In the Greco-Roman rhetorical tradition, however, "parables" were illustrative narrative examples. Jewish teachers of the 1st cent. A.D. made use of comparisons in narrative form to clarify scripture. As used in the Gospels, the "parable" not only denotes metaphors, analogies, and enigmatic statements, but also short illustrative narratives. In Jesus' parables, the speaker compares an observable, natural, or human phenomenon to the Kingdom (i.e. the rule) of God.
So does John in Revelation:speak not only denotes metaphors, analogies, and enigmatic statements.
Some of these challenge and mystify or even attack the hearer. Other parables are allegories. The major themes of the parables of Jesus include the contrast between the old and new age now dawning in the ministry of Jesus; the necessity of radical decisions; the gradual but sure growth of the Kingdom of God on earth; Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.) God's way of relating to people; and God's invitation for people to enter his Kingdom. = A new birth in their Spirit.
Isaiah 14:1 Below are Plain Words and not an allegorie.
Isaiah 14:1 The LORD will have compassion on Jacob; once again he will choose Israel and will settle them in their own land. (Aliens = Gentiles) The Kingdon shall not be left to other people. Dan, 244
( Read Eph. chapter 2) (We are now in the commonwealth of Isreal) will join them and unite with the house of Jacob. 2 Nations will take them and bring them to their own place. And the house of Israel will possess the nations as menservants and maidservants in the LORD's land. They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors. 3 On the day the LORD gives you relief from suffering and turmoil and cruel bondage, 4 you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon: NIV
God wants men to see this here in Isaiah 14:1 as a reality in Cyrus day and soon our day.

NOW COMES THE ALLEGORIES
KJV Isaiah 14:4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! (NIV says taunt )
Ouestion> is a taunt and a proverb the same thing?
This Proverb or parable happened to The last King over Babylon. Cyrus the Medo-Persia let Israel go home and let the Babylon people stay in their own land. He took no slaves with him. History bears this out. 606 B.C. Daniel 2,7 Babylon Kings: were Nebuchadnezzar, Beltshazzar
Isaiah 14:1 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
8Yea, the fir trees (Menin other parts of the world)) rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller (Man not angels) is come up against us. Kings
9 Hell " (The Grave) from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead (Not the living somewhere) for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. Isa. v.12-14 Lucifer's five "I will's"-the beginning of sin and rebellion in the earth against Israel as he opposed to God's will.
10 All they shall speak (The Kings in Babylons day) and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? (Yes they did.) 11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. (Death)12 How art thou fallen from heaven, (The Hebrew land) O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! (King of Babylon on earth)>> O Lucifer, son of the morning! Every nation that turns against Isreal
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: ( Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:) 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; (Just like Hilter).17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? 18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. 19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. Thie often man called Lucifer was not a fallen angel was no more than the King of Babylon.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
