This parable shows the situation of the world as it presently is, and how it will be in the future.

Lazarus is the name of the downtrodden people of this world, this is the name given for the combination of Israel and gentiles during the tribulation (suffering/sores). Jesus is their firstfruits. Lazarus is a beggar full of sores. He finds himself, by a miracle of God, at the gates of the rich man. The rich man is clothed in purple and fine linen and he eats the best of everything every day. Lazarus sees this every day.

1. Gates mean: the inner recesses, the throne room, the top place, executive council, in the house of the rich man. Lazarus sees how sumptuously the rich man is faring every day, he sees the good clothes and the good life that the rich man is living and he desires to enjoy some of the crumbs. Mind you, he is enjoying the crumbs because he is in the rich man’s gates.
Mordecai was not a gateman, he was a prince of Israel being a nephew of King Saul, he was of the house of Kish of Benjamin and was part of the choice princes of Judah that were led to captivity in Babylon

Esther 2:5-6
Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;
6 Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.

Jeremiah 24:1
The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

Mordecai must have been part of the Jews that were taught the knowledge of the Babylonians, which the Persians inherited when they sacked Babylon, like Shedrach Meshach and Abednego Daniel 1:1-6

Gates is the codename for the leadership of the rich man, his palace, and to be in his gates is to be among his chief workers or advisers

Esther 2:21
In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.

2. Lazarus is the codename for Adam in a devolved state, from Royalty he devolved to being a beggar. The name Lazarus is derived from the Hebrew אלעזר, Elʿāzār (Eleazar) meaning "God has helped". Meaning: [the one] God has helped Derived: Eleazar
Adam lost his throne and became a beggar, but he will regain it. Christ is the second Adam

1 Samuel 2:8
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them.

3. Dogs is the code name for useless people cursed by God who will not enter heaven. They are going to hell

Revelation 22:15
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

4. [Full of] Sores is the code name for the travails of Adam/Israel/Lazarus and the desolation of his abode

Isaiah 1:6-7
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

Licked his sores is the code phrase for making jest and mockery and fun of Lazarus

6. Dogs coming to Lick Lazarus’s sores mean satan’s angels are poking fun and making jest of Lazarus in his pitiable condition. These would be the people who derive their livelihoods from the rich man, they are employees, sycophants and bad people living off the rich man, there is nowhere in the Bible that being called a dog is a good thing, so dogs are bad people who are making fun and mockery of Lazarus. The dogs are the useless, toothless and hopeless mongrels of satan.

Luke 16:22
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

Both of them died. Both of them died in a symbolic way: the death of the ideology that made Lazarus poor and the rich man rich; Lazarus died and went to heaven, to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man died and was buried, or went to hell. It was a role reversal in death. Lazarus was resurrected to heaven; the rich man was resurrected to hell

The story of Lazarus, is the story of the situation of the Israel of God, and Christ, in this present world. The rich man is the people who presently own this world and are faring sumptuously on its dainties. There will be an ideological death and a role reversal very soon and Lazarus will be comforted while the rich man and all his goons and all his dogs will go to hell, and they will be there for ever.

Now the rich man is faring sumptuously and Lazarus at his gates is watching him. And Lazarus is desiring to eat the crumbs from his table.
We see that the rich man has died and is now in hell. He is so discomfited that he is begging for just one drop of water to cool his tongue but he cannot get it because there is a great gulf between him and Lazarus; no one can go from here to there and no one can go from there to here.

Luke 16:23-24 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

The rich man pleads that he should be re-sent to his father’s house so that he can go and testify to his five brethren and beg them that they should repent from their sins so that they do not come to the place of torment where he is.

Luke 16:27-28
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

Father Abraham tells the rich man that Moses and the prophets are preaching repentance and his brothers have not believed, even if a man should arise from the dead and go and warn his brothers, they still would not repent and believe. They would not be persuaded even by Christ who is the first begotten of the dead

Luke 16:29-31
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Christ is the firstfruits from the dead

1 Corinthians 15:20
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

The rich man’s brothers, his goons and his dogs will not believe even if someone rose from the dead, Christ the firstfruits, to warn them of their impending doom

Revelation 22:14-16 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

1 Corinthians 15:20
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

They will not even listen to Christ, the first born from the dead.

They refuse to listen to the one who was dead and is now risen, they refuse to accept his offer of free salvation, and the olive branch of reconciliation that is being offered to everyone irrespective of their status.
