The Parable of the Banquet (Matthew 22)
>1Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables: 2“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
>4Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
>5But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business. 6The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
He made a covenant with Israel, repeatedly alleged to be the bride of God (why worship of foreign gods is considered adultary and prostitution), but they broke the covenant repeatedly, refused to come to the banquet

>7The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city. 8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy. 9Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’
So instead he opens up the covenant to all who are willing to come, as the feast/salvation is already prepared.

>10So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
The nations were eager to accept the message and Christ into their heart.

>11But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes. 12‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’
>But the man was speechless.
>13Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
The man was not fit to attend the wedding, to receive salvation. He wasnt clothed in faith and rightousness, and thus was casted out. He wasnt ready, not prepared as we are called to be at all times. Always conducting good works and thoughts as if God is returning to reward the rightous the very next moment instead of being lazy in our acts thinking you can just repeant tomorrow. Remember He comes like a thief in the night, so we are to keep watch. This man did not do so

>14For many are called, but few are chosen.”
everyone regardless of origin, class or gender is called, but God decides on His own terms who is received and who is cast out

Parable of the workers (Matthew 20)
>1“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2He agreed to pay them a denariusa for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
>3About the third hourb he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4‘You also go into my vineyard,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you whatever is right.’ 5So they went.
>He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hourc and did the same thing.
>6About the eleventh hourd he went out and found still others standing around. ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ he asked.
>7‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered.
>So he told them, ‘You also go into my vineyard.’e
Here we see hear about God calling onto the people at different points in their lives, the morning as little children, or the evening in old age, promising a fair reward to all who do His works

>8When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with the last ones hired and moving on to the first.’
The first shall be the last and the last shall be the first

>9The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. 10So when the original workers came, they assumed they would receive more. But each of them also received a denarius.
>11On receiving their pay, they began to grumble against the landowner. 12‘These men who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.’
>13But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Did you not agree with me on one denarius? 14Take your pay and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you. 15Do I not have the right to do as I please with what is mine? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
The workers who started early complain even though they received what they were promised because others who worked less received the same. This is a refutation to the thought that someone who did good his entire life deserves a better reward than someone who repented at the end of his life, or that the one who repents late would not even deserve a reward as a whole. Remember, salvation is a gift given to whomever God wants

Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25)
>14For it is just like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted them with his possessions. 15To one he gave five talents,b to another two talents, and to another one talent—each according to his own ability. And he went on his journey.
God provided his servants, the faithful with money to be put to work. These can be seen as actual Talents, gifts of God grace we are to use to do His work. In this he considers the persons ability and situation.

>16The servant who had received the five talents went at once and put them to workc and gained five more. 17Likewise, the one with the two talents gained two more. 18But the servant who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
Everyone is putting the "talents" to work, except the one who received the fewest

>19After a long time the master of those servants returned to settle accounts with them. 20The servant who had received the five talents came and presented five more. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’
>21His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
>22The servant who had received the two talents also came and said, ‘Master, you entrusted me with two talents. See, I have gained two more.’
>23His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
Judgement Day comes, and the works of the people are judged

>24Finally, the servant who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Master, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what belongs to you.’
>26‘You wicked, lazy servant!’ replied his master. ‘You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed. 27Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received it back with interest.
The servent here is chastized for not putting his talents to work, not doing as he was intended. It also shows well that God can judge according to whatever standards he desires, us perceiving something as unjust or harsh is not an excuse before God.

>28Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents. 29For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
>30And throw that worthless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
The servant did not live up to the standards God set, and thus is thrown into the "outer darkness" that is Hades/Sheol/Hell

I was wondering what the meaning behind the unprepared guest was, thank you for the clarification.

Im happy to have been able to help. maybe I should have added too >But the man was speechless.
indicates there will be no excuses any of us have before God at judgement day. It plays into the theme of "I have mercy on whom I have mercy" too, God being able to do whatever the fuck He wants and be justified in it.

Further as mentioned it relates to
>42Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come. 43But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.
>45Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time? 46Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
>48But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’ 49And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. 51Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
It warns us to always be prepared and observant of Christs commands lest we be cought off guard in our trespasses with no time to repent of them, and be thrown into the Hades, where there is gnashing of teeth.

The firstborns rejection:
For the sake of the argument lets just assume that kikes are edomites which through the Kennites relate back to Cain , then we find a very commong theme (even if you deny the ethnic lineage we will clearly see a narrative theme connecting all these)

Cain was the first born, yet it was Abel that was favored, although the first born is usually the one having the inheritence. You could make a point about Cain not being the son of Adam but the serpent, but thats rather irrelevant.
Cain kills Abel, and Seth takes his place. We then get to Abraham. Here Ishmael is the first born, from his maiden Hagar. Yet it is Isaac, the second child that he had with his wife Sarah that was favored and the heir, again the firstborn losing his rightful claim. Ishmael became the arabs, and we could assume they mixed with Canaan in at least part.
Either way, we get then to Isaac and his children. Esau was the first born of the twins, yet sold his birthright to Jacob, seething after realizing it was a bad deal and trying to murder Jacob to gain his rights back. While Esau and Jacob made up with another we see the jews of today still engaging in this, trying to murder the heir, christians, in order to gain the right they forsook
We skip to the time of Christ. Edomites infiltrated Judeah and its people, weaseled their way into the institutions and overtook the faith. "We did it" they thought, finally they have their rightful claim back, just for Jesus to declare that they are wicked tennants, and that the kingdom is taken from them, and given to people better suited.
Their entire history seems to be the vain effort of forcing God to approve of them, while they are too prideful to approve of Gods ways
But its said
>I will have mercy on whom I have mercy

Rundown on the ethnicities
Shemites=Indo Europeans that moved into Europe (and in lesser degree across the world) after Babel One of these groups moved into the Levant, that became known as Israel Modern Kikes (Christ killers) are Edomites Edomites are a mix of Esau, twin brother of Jacob, and Canaanites. Among the Canaanites were the Kennites, traditionally assumed to be descendents of Cain (due to their name sharing etymological roots). Cain is heavily implied to be of the serpent and and so when Jesus called the Pharisee "children of the devil" and "a brood of vipers" he may was entirely literal.

Now its argued that Cains line would have died in the flood, for this there are a few issues to adress.
Traditionally it was assumed the Kennites (a group of the Canaanites) are descendents of Cain as their name shares the etymological root.
We here in Numbers that the Nephillim survived in Canaan, later we hear of the Anakim and Rephaim (Like Goliath) too being around, being a group of the nephillim. If they made it Cains line also had a chance somehow.
It is said Noah was perfect in his generation (which i take as genetic purity as his rightousness is stated additionally), same isnt said about his wife, his children or any of the childrens wife and mixing before the flood was one great reason for it so we can assume the others had a form of verious admixture explaining how from one couple the many races could develop from. Sometimes, rarely, you get events of twin being born with one being black and another white, iirc even monozygotic twins. One being born male and another female too isnt unheared of. Likewise through the admixture the "extinct" line could be born again in such a fashion, in this case through Ham. all ways in arguments that the line could have prevailed.

The servants would be the prophets and disciples, those invited would be the children of Israel.

This would be one of the tares of the parable in Matthew chapter 13. Speechless because they have NO claim to that of the wheat.

There are those who want to say that the wedding garment is one's character, or that it is somehow “spiritual”.

The bible is the book of the generations of Adam. Adam is a race. This book is about our heritage, not any other race's heritage.

This parable is speaking about Israel (the children of Jacob). The leaders, rulers, judges, etc. of the people are the people who were bidden. The servants are the prophets, apostles, watchmen, etc. The people on the highways are the rest of the children of Israel. The common, average people, 'church' goers, etc. Good and bad. Luke 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

The man with no wedding garment was unrepentant. You can't wear a robe of righteousness if you have not repented. It may also include those without knowledge and understanding as well.

>The servants would be the prophets and disciples, those invited would be the children of Israel.
yes, and these invited, Israel, did not attend the feast/observe the commands and teachings of the prophets. And so they were barred from the wedding, killed even (as in the second death, the destruction of the soul) and its given to random other people found in the town, strangers who are accepting of His words.
Im sure we had this discussion already, but for the others:
OT prophecized the opening up of the covenant to all nations and Jesus also made it pretty clear and no, "nations" (goy/ethnos) only very rarely refers to Israel and in most cases refers to other people . When Jesus says He came for the lost sheep it means He came to gather them that they can take up their purpose of spreading Gods word and glory across the earth

>OT prophecized the opening up of the covenant to all nations and Jesus also made it pretty clear
KEK

> and no, "nations" (goy/ethnos) only very rarely refers to Israel and in most cases refers to other people
Kek redefining language now ? Ethnos means Kin.

>When Jesus says He came for the lost sheep
>it means He came to gather them that they can take up their purpose of spreading Gods word and glory across the earth.
Is that right ? when did Jesus accept a Non-Isrealite as his sheep ?

And Jesus said to him, “Today deliverance has come to this house – since he also is a son of Abraham. “For the Son of Adam [Jesus] has come to seek and to save what was lost.”
(Luke 19:9-10)
Tell me. What was lost ?

>33Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a tower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.
God established the covenant and salvation, and gave it to a people, Israel.

>34When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit. 35But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
>36Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the tenants did the same to them.
He sends the prophets to the people, but they dont listen, even worse they murder those God sends.

>37Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
likewise they ignore Chris and kill Him

>38But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take his inheritance.’ 39So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
They thought by killing Christ, the heir they can seize the heritage, much like it happened through out the scripture repeatedly >40Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those tenants?”
>41“He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and will rent out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his share of the fruit at harvest time.”
The covenant is taken from them and given to people who observe Gods word and do His work properly

>42Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
The stone is Christ with which the builders, Israel were meant to build Gods kingdom, but they rejected Him, but Christ then became the cornerstone, the foundation of the new covenant.
This is from the Lord,

>and it is marvelous in our eyes’k?
>43Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 44He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.l”
>45When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them. 46Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.

Now people argue He is talking to Pharisee there, Edomites, and not Israel, partly true. However Edom only got into Judeah/Judah because of Israels ubfaithfulness. for that they were first displaced by assyria then babylon. then Judah was allowed to return but quickly too ignored the law and lessons and let the edomites mingle amongst them. they didnt value the covenant and because of that edom could take over all their land, temple and even the priesthood and so Judah as a whole lost it, with the only way to be let into it again being through Jesus and not through blood.So wether He is speaking to ethnic Israelites or the Edomites doesnt matter as in the end the fault lies with Israel not following God that got them to this point

>Kek redefining language now ? Ethnos means Kin.
yeah, its a group of people. Blacks are a group of people onto themselves, a kin or nation, and so would be europeans, or asians.

Levitucs 23
>23You must not follow the statutes of the nations I am driving out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.
speaking of the canaanite nations that are being driven out by Israel. Likewise in Deuteronomy 18
>9When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you, do not imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. 1
Jeremiah 5 tells us
>15Behold, I am bringing a distant nation against you, O house of Israel,” declares the LORD. “It is an established nation, an ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know and whose speech you do not understand.
a foreign nation being used to punish Israel
all these are clear examples of "nations" being used in contrast to Israel.

>6For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeansc —that ruthless and impetuous nation which marches through the breadth of the earth to seize dwellings not their own.
Chaldeans being a nation

>13Then the LORD said to Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years. 14But I will judge the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will depart with many possessions
another nation enslaving Abrahams descendents

>28So if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it spewed out the nations before you.
Israel is warned that if they sin the land will spit them out like it did with the nations before them (canaanites)

There really is no way to argue that "nation" refers to Israel or descendents of Abraham every time

The pagan gods are what the Bible calls heavenly assembly and is the equivalent to the sumerian high council, the olymp, asgard etc. appointed over the nation to lead and guide them however the pagan gods are what the bible further calls the angels, watchers, various spirits including demons, of which a third at some point rebelled, came down to earth, ruled over us and took our woman as their mates with their offspring, the nephilim, being giants as well as ancient rulers with their descend from the gods used as justification for their authority . from this we also see in the levant the terms for rulers and gods and angels corelating as a result As for who is who, like the last three linked posts say YHWH would be equivalent of the sumerian Anu, with the annunaki (Anus offspring) being the sons of God. This links him to Uranus the sky God like Anu and God being the God of heaven. He was overthrown by Saturn as God was rebelled against by Satan and in turn was defeated by Michael with lightning like Zeus defeated Saturn Satan seems to appear in various forms, like saturn as mentioned when he tries to appear as the (fake) ruler, or suddactive as his link to the fertillity goddesses and serpents indicate Aquinas said
>In this way, therefore, between us and the highest God, it is clear that they posited four orders, namely, that of the secondary gods, that of the separate intellects, that of the heavenly souls, and that of the good or wicked demons. If all these things were true, then all these intermediate orders would be called by us “angels”, for Sacred Scripture refers to the demons themselves as angels. Footnote The souls themselves of the heavenly bodies, on the assumption that these are animated, should also be numbered among the angels, as Augustine determines in the Enchiridion.

>yeah, its a group of people. Blacks are a group of people onto themselves, a kin or nation, and so would be europeans, or asians.
Except Yahweh only made a covenant with one people and he only promised one people he would be thier God. A Covenant takes two parties. Yahweh never made a covenant with any other ethnos.
So, it's clears that when Yahweh gathers the nations, he means the nations of Isreal.

>Levitucs 23
>Deuteronomy 18
What does that have to do with God opening up his covenant to any other nation?
You understand that a nation has to make a covenant with Yahweh and they ALL have to agree to it.
Yahweh asked Moses to go down the mountain and ask his people if they agreed. It's an agreement between two parties.
Where does Yahweh make a covenant with another people ? He doesn't.

>There really is no way to argue that "nation" refers to Israel or descendents of Abraham every time
Never said it did, I said ethnos means kin.
You are using another word, Goy and Goyim which just means nation. Any nation.
You have an example in the OT where Yahweh beings in another nation to his covenant ?

>Kek redefining language now ? Ethnos means Kin.
He's right. Ethnos is used primarily for nations/races/people besides Israel.

>>Jesus also made it pretty clear
>KEK
He's right again. In the same Luke, 24:47

>Luke, 24:47
In verse 47, Christ commanded His disciples to take the gospel to all of the nations, not to all nations, as the KJV and others ignore the definite article when it is convenient for them to do so.

The message is for the nations of Israel. The 12 tribes and their descendants, who are the anglo-saxon nations of the world today.
