The false leaders of Judah, the Kenite false Jews, and the non-believers with them who rejected Christ Jesus as Saviour, had our Lord murdered, knowing He was The Christ. What will The LORD do to those false husbandmen who sought to steal the 'vineyard' when He returns home (coming 'down' out of Heaven), to rightly claim His vineyard?
Their answer:
Matt 21:41 They say unto Him, "He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons."
42 Jesus saith unto them, "Did ye never read in the scriptures, 'The Stone Which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the LORD's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?'
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Our Lord Jesus was quoting from Psalms;
Psalms 118:22-23: The stone which the builders refused is become the headstone of the corner.
23 This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
This also ties to a reference in;
... Of false leaders in Jerusalem who made a pact with "death".
Isaiah 28:15-22: Read All.
By this, our Lord was actually condemning those false leaders; and if they had recalled those Scriptures our Lord was pointing out to them, then they surely should understand now who was speaking to them.
Matt.21:45: And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
At the first showing of old Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar, this is what God did to the 'house of Judah'. He rendered those husbandmen useless in the hands of their enemies to Babylon and Assyria. God then put 'others', a remnant in control of His vineyard of the 'house of Israel' in a new land (see the Lost Tribes study). Jerusalem became a desolation, and is still in that spiritual state today without a king of Judah upon the throne. The "fruits in their seasons" began when The Gospel was preached to His vineyard in the new lands, and much fruit was produced. The "seasons" are not over, as our Lord's INHERITANCE of 'all' believers to make up His future vineyard, is not yet full. And because those wicked husbandmen judged rightly in this parable, but not in real action as to their positions of responsibility as chief priests and elders of the people, they will suffer condemnation if they do not repent to Christ and turn from their iniquity. Realize then, that another cycle of this parable is now in effect for many present leaders and elders of Christ's vineyard who become slack and follow the 'workers of iniquity.' Before anyone thinks I'm 'pointing' the finger at the false ones, and that it's not God Himself doing the pointing, then I recommend a deeper study in Isaiah 28, giving the method for how a 'Beth-el' (House of God) is to teach God's Word; that is, by Chapter by Chapter, verse by verse, and line by line.
Isaiah 28, 9: Whom shall He teach knowledge? And whom shall He make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned on the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10: For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
And certainly the Western Christian Nations who stayed on Christ have produced much 'fruit' for Him. The "House of God" (Beth-el) was literally 'moved' to the 'house of Israel' when our Lord Jesus
