Perhaps you are not that versed in what the scriptures actually say.
After spending time meditating on the Parables of the Talents and the Minas, it was easy to draw the conclusion from what has been recorded in both parables that the man who goes away for a time is a reference to Satan. Rev 12 confirms that the person who goes away for a time is none other than Satan. In the Parable of the Minas, one of the people groups that are Satan's servants is the none other that the nation of Israel. Jesus in telling this parable to the crowd walking up from Jericho towards Jerusalem suggest to the people around Him that at the time of Satan being judged in heaven, and being imprisoned in a pit, that the nation of Israel send a delegation after Satan to the "King" who can bestow Satan as a deity, informing Him that they no longer want Satan to be over the Nation of Israel. When Satan is released from the Bottomless pit, he wants the servants who had rejected him to be brought before him so that they could be killed in front of him. In Rev 12 we read that Satan initially goes after the nation of Israel in an attempt to kill them all, but the earth swallowed the river of water that Satan directed at them, and they were taken out of harms way. (Rev 12:13-17).
The other clue contained in the two parables is the supposed "wicked" servant who hid the money he was given and upon Satan's return, the wicked servant return what Satan had given him because:-
'
20 “Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief.
21 For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’
22 And he said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you,
you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.
23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’' Luke 19:20-23,
and in Matt 25: 24-27 we have this recorded: -
24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look,
there you have
what is yours.’
26 “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.
27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.
If Jesus is the one who is entitled to the harvest of souls, then why would he have agreed to what the "wicked" servant had said.
If you have not heard this taught, then your teachers of the word of God have perverted the word of God to your detriment.
To me it seems that you have much catching up to do with respect to God words to us.
Shalom
