Eh, yes I have. And that verse from Revelation is in regards to a specific mystery that has no bearing upon salvation nor the Gospel. And the one from Matthew I already told you was directed at the Jews of Yeshua's time.

Oh that does not apply to me!
Not me ... I'm special.
If you are so special, why does Jesus not actually explain his parable to you?
Why does he talk to you in parables?
Dumbass, there would be no parables if you were actually being told the truth.
.
You are projecting now. I am born-again of the Spirit above so how could I possibly be blind? I am part of the elect. What I said is the truth, you just cannot accept it. And Yeshua did explain his parable if you would only stop taking the word out of context and read the chapter in full, not just a few verses, you would see that. Yeshua always explained his parable to the Apostles and they wrote them down for us to see and understand too.
Example, the parable of the sower.

Have you even read the Bible before?
Listen and read carefully ...
Matthew 13:11 He replied, The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.(12) Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
(13) This is why I speak to them in parables: Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
(19) When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart.
This is the seed sown along the path.3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 9 He who has ears, let him hear.”
(23) But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
(36) Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.
(37) He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. (38) The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom.
The weeds are the sons of the evil one, (39) and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
JESUS Planted the
whole crop. The wheat are those who he disclosed his secrets to, and the weeds are those whom he speaks to in parables. What he is saying is those who I disclose my secrets to, are my people, the others (the masses, you and I, are the weeds.)
He is also saying he is the DEVIL the son of the wicked one! Because he plants the whole crop, the wheat and the tares.
At no stage does he actually make any sense and explain the parable to YOU other, than how I have explained.
