Matthew13:33.
He spoke another parable to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three sata of flour until it was all leavened.”
Who's the woman, what is the Flour and the Leaven?
Let's discuss

Arthur Pink wrote this about 90 or 100 years ago.



The action of the "woman" in our parable exposes the error of the common interpretation. She "took," not "received;" and hid the leaven in the meal. Is this the way in which the servants of God preach His Gospel? Is the evangel something to be whispered in secret? Does God bid His servants act stealthily? No!! The Lord has said to them, "What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetop" (Matt_11:27).

Writing to the Corinthians, and describing the character of his own ministry, the apostle Paul said, "We faint not, but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the Word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God" (2 Cor_4:2). But in our parable, the woman is acting dishonestly and deceitfully: she stealthily introduced a foreign and corrupting element into the meal. Her object was to effect its deterioration. If the reader will turn to Lev_2:11 he will find that this "woman" was doing the very thing which the Word of God forbade her; and he will also observe that she left out the oil, which was the very thing the Scriptures enjoined!

Let us now turn, briefly, to the positive side, and give what we believe is the true interpretation. As already stated, the "three measures of meal" stand for Christ as the food of His people: Christ as presented in the written Word, therefore, the doctrine of Christ. The "woman" refers, primarily, to the Papacy, and generally, to all corrupters of God’s truth. Romanism has many "daughters." It is most significant that the leading false cults in Christendom were originated by women. Modern Spiritualism was started in Boston, U.S.A., in 1848 by the Fox sisters. Seventh Day Adventism was founded by Mrs. White. Christian Science was organized by Mrs. Eddy. Theosophy was devised by Madame Blavatsky, and is now engineered by Mrs. Besant.

The "leaven" symbolizes the corrupting of God’s truth by the introduction of evil doctrine—compare Matt_16:12. The unadulterated truth of God is too heavy for the natural man: the sovereignty of God, the helplessness of man, the awfulness of sin, the totality of human depravity, the eternal punishment of the wicked, are indigestible to the carnal mind. Therefore, Rome and her "daughters" have introduced the lightening "leaven," so as to make, what they hand out, more palatable to their dupes. And thus has history repeated itself. Of old God complained to Israel, "Ye offer polluted bread upon Mine altar" (Mal_1:7). So today priestcraft and clericalism have corrupted the bread of God.

It is to be noted that the "three measures of meal" were not removed, nor was something else substituted in their place. Instead, a foreign element was mingled with it, an element which has slowly and gradually corrupted it. In 2 Thess_2:4 the apostle Paul declared, "The mystery of iniquity does already work." The leaven had started to act even then, and, as our Savior declared, it would work till "the whole was leavened." How nearly this is the case today the majority of our readers are sadly aware. There are but few places to which an hungry child of God can now go and receive pure Bread.

Amen

This tale does not make any sense at all. Arthur pink only proves here he is another religious scholar versed in the art of special interpretations aka lies and not much else.

The parable wasn't told about the woman but about the Kingdom of God. Surely it is easy to understand how the actions of the individuals in the Kingdom cannot change or influence the Kingdom itself so why hyperfocus on the woman in the tale?

On the issue that is the leaven, well, Jesus Christ made us know that not all Leaven is bad. In particular, He warned His followers against the Leaven of the Pharisees-- the doctrines and traditions of men which He proclaimed were all lies meant to deceive and delude people away from the truth of God. The leaven of the Pharisees Jesus Christ declared an abomination against His own Truth, the commandments and teachings of Jesus Christ. While His leaven, His Law to us, we are to fully embrace.

Lol
Have told you if are aren't a Christian you can't grasps the gospel of Christ

Well, I am definitely not a Christian.

However, as far as understanding Scripture, Jesus Christ instead said that His Truth is revealed only to those who do as He commands. No one who obeys Jesus
Christ would submit to religion because Jesus Christ warned His followers to stay away from the doctrines and traditions of men on which religion is founded upon.
