Isa 5:3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
Isa 5:4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
Isa 5:5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
Isa 5:6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
Isa 5:7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
The vineyard of the LORD is the house of Israel and the men of Judah. God said he would lay it waste. (Destroy it)
Mat 21:33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
Mat 21:34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
Mat 21:35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Mat 21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
Mat 21:37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
Mat 21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
Mat 21:39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
Mat 21:40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
Mat 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.
A householder (God) planted a vineyard and put his protection around it and gave it to the Jews to care for. When the time came for the Messiah to come, he sent his prophets to the Jews that they would be ready. But the Jews beat one, and killed another and stoned another. Then God sent his son and the Jews killed him. When Jesus asked his disciples what would happen to those husbandmen? They responded:
The LORD will miserably destroy those wicked men and create a new covenant with others. (Christians)
Mat 21:42 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?
Mat 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
The stone is Jesus and he will take the kingdom of God from the Jews and give it to another.
The word of God has said:
1. The vineyard of the LORD is Israel and Judah.
2. The LORD would miserably destroy the wicked men and create a new covenant.
Questions:
Did the LORD destroy the wicked Jews that were the husbandmen of the vineyard?
Has the LORD created a new covenant?
The answer to both questions is:
Yes he has done both.
We should not be waiting for another return of Jesus for he has done what he came to do.
Joh 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
Rev 14:18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
Rev 14:19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
Rev 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
The temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by fire and the vine of the earth (wicked men, not the true vine) was cast into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
When we are born again, our sins are forgiven. There is no reason for a Christian to be judged again.
