Bushel baskets 4:21-23

In verse 21 we have a luknos, modion and klinen – a lamp, a grain measure containing about 8.75 litres, almost one peck, a vessel used to hide a light (must be where we get the bushel basket from- something they are storing grain in- I imagine very common place- every family would have one- so there is not much significance in it being a 'bushel basket' , you could substitute waste paper basket- Where it has always sounded weird to me, it wouldn't have caused any blinks in Jesus audience, it is plain common sense, you don't light a lamp and then cover it up- this sentence starts with a meti as well- so it expects a negative answer. And klinen – a bed- and you don't put a lamp under one of these.
“For there is nothing hidden, except that it be made visible/ clear” nor is anything secret except to come to light. Anyone who has hears to hear, let him hear.

So after elaborating the smokescreen policy immediately before this, Jesus then asserts that all will be brought out into the open- the light will shine where it is meant to- where everyone can see it. Is this a bit eschatalogical? Or does everyone get to 'see', (not as Jesus would have them see) but many will not understand? So the seed sown on the rocky ground, in a sense saw but never saw.

I suppose the predominant time frame is the present. Its the kingdom of God Jesus is talking about. When God's rule enters, it is like a light that shines on everything- nothing remains hidden or disclosed except to come to light. Sin has no part of this rule- the light is shone upon all those parts of our lives – a potentially shameful thing- 'Go away from me Lord, for I am a sinful man' – a good confession- the light had shone on Peter- and there's repentance there and redemptive love and power can start its work.
John 8:12... “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”

The bizarre thing is when I seek to hide the reality of God's rule in my life- as Jesus points out who would do that. Its like the third soil- the seed sown among thorns- the lamp is mostly being put under the grain holder or under the bed- what is meant to bring light to the individual and to those around them, is not doing what is purposed for- or natural to it.
