i read again Luke ten minas parable but differently after what you said, its making its way..still looking at it probably wont have a clear idea for some time. also I realize the talents and ten minas parables are similar but not the same in contents i have to examine all this in detail. the context is important but you gave me a preview i can use for further research. I like to dig, lol thanks for that.What I should have also said was that: -
Firstly, in the Luke account, some of the man of noble birth's servants sent a delegation after the man saying that they no longer wanted the man to rule over them. Luke 19:14 suggests that the some of the servants were Israelites, which give a clue as to when the Israelite began turning back to God around the end of the fourth age of their existence.
Secondly, in the Luke account the servants who made a prophet for their master was given authority of ten and five cities respectfully
Thirdly, in the Luke account after the man had returned the money given to him the master said to him, "‘You wicked servant, I will judge you by your own words. So you knew that I am a harsh man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow? Why then did you not deposit my money in the bank, and upon my return I could have collected it with interest? And then the master took the mina from him and give it to servant who returned ten minas to the master, but the other servants argued that that was not fair as he already had ten minas.
Fourthly, in the Luke account, in verse 27 Jesus told in the Minas parable that the man insisted that the enemies of his who were unwilling for me to rule over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me. John in Revelation 12 confirms the Luke 19 parable of the Minas.
Fifthly, in the Matthew account, the first and second servant were told that they were "good and faithful servants! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!"
And lastly in the Matthew account, the master states, "Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents. For 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. And throw that worthless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Remember that Satan goes into the Bottomless pit for 1,000 years with the beasts and the Little Horn and the Kings of the earth, and that when Satan is initially released, he firstly goes after the woman who had given birth to Jesus, and when she was protected from him, Satan then went after the women's other children.
