MATTHEW 25:30 THE UNPROFITABLE SERVANT

[Doug]

Matthew 25:14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
25:19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The Lord Jesus Christ is describing the kingdom of heaven. The promised Davidic kingdom on earth promised to the Israel of God, the little flock (Revelation 5:10 Luke 12:32).

It is only the righteous Jew that will enter the kingdom of heaven. It is only the profitable Jew who will enter. The unprofitable Jew will not enter the kingdom, but will be cast into outer darkness: outer darkness is not hell.

The outer darkness is often mistaken for hell. Outer darkness is described as weeping (see Matthew 25:30 above); in the verse below hell is described as wailing.

Matthew 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Your understanding of this parable and the Parable of the Minas does not match the narrative found in both parables.

In the Parable of the Minas the man who goes away when he returns, wants to kill all of his servants who no longer wanted him to be master over them.

In Rev 12 we are told that when Satan is able to return after being locked up for 1,000 years, he immediately wants to kill off all of the Israelites, who had been his servants before he had gone away. The man who goes away does not fit the Biblical understanding of who Christ is.

Paul writes this epistle to the Roman Gentile church in regards enemies of the Gospel Jews for their sake.

Lest they should be ignorant of this mystery, lest they should be wise in their own conceits.

That blindness in part is happened to Israel Jews, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

(And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come. Matthew 24:14)

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob/Israel.

For the gifts and calling of GOD are without repentance. (but in the beginning they were all called to repent and be baptized)

For as Gentiles in times past have not believed GOD, yet have now obtained mercy.

Even so have Israel Jews also now not believed, that through Gentile's mercy the Israel Jews also may obtain mercy.

For GOD have concluded them all Israel Jews in unbelief, that HE might have mercy upon all.

True Jews are those of the household of Jacob and 12 sons, called Israelites.

Now where did you get your version of profitable Jews enter the Kingdom and unprofitable Jews enter not??

Shalom in the name of Jesus Christ.
