Newly Discovered Pericopes of Jesus! Kingdom of God similes.

The kingdom of heaven is like an old man who grows
younger and younger until he sinks back into the womb
and even then before his conception.

The kingdom of heaven is like a man, who, having met God,
awaits further instructions until he dies.

The kingdom of heaven is like a great scribe, a mighty expert of the law who begins to forget all he knows until he is as docile and helpless as a baby before other men because he now knows all.

The kingdom of heaven is like a small snake that sheds its skin many times until it is big enough to be noticed from heaven, and then silently and unseen, an eagle swoops upon it, carries it off to its nest in the sky, and devours it until nothing remains.
