Mt. 19+20 : the parable of
‘the workers in the vineyard’ :
the 144,000 are handpicked

 

 
(27) Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all,
and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? (28) And Jesus said unto them,
Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when
the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones,
judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
(29)
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother,
or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold,
and shall inherit everlasting life.
(30 : we deleted it)
But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last [shall be] first.

 
1.
… please note how the above section is the very introduction tó the parable (Mt.20) ,
because without explanation , the parable itsélf is incomprehensible :
2.
… therefore it follows that line 30 (above) was a corruption by Esau ,
in order to to suggest that the above is/was a narrative UN-related to next Mt. 20 ;
3.
… you see in line 28 that the main theme will be “the 144,000” – therefore :   

 
please note :
halfway , the parable (Mt.20) gets corrupted :
that is not our mistake – see the section there ;

 

the real context of this parable    (Mt. 19: 27-29 + Mt. 20: 1- [appr.]10)

(29 : deleted , see KJV)

‘regeneration’ , G3842 paliggenesia ‘again + birth’ 2x ; (‘renewal, regeneration’) ;
but -genesis is also ‘natural (nature)’ , as an aspect of life ; or ‘origin’ ;

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee;
what shall we have therefore?
(28)
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me,
in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall
sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
(29)
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother,
or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold,
and shall inherit everlasting life.

lines 27-29 : the theme – until now :
1.
… the disciples were there “during the very work of salvation – by Christ” ;
hence we needed to add three words to the “when I will sit upon my throne”
to make that particular theme clear ;
2.
… and because the 12 disciples ‘were present’ during His work ,
the twelve will sit upon théir thrones : judging the (candidate-) sons for the 144,000  –
let that sink in a moment :
Christ and the twelve are ‘handpicking’ each single one of us !
(as a process almost completed by now) ,
and compare how the parable will be exactly about this theme ;
3.
… the “leaving everything behind” theme :
Peter sáid already that “they left everything behind”,
therefore line 29 can only be about the 144,000 – also because of 28 f ;
4.
… the “[eden-] life during life” :
though it is true that the apostles physically died , first ,
the prophets constantly repeat “that the 144 will have [eden-] life during (earthly-) life”
(and their apeframe will die off only lateron , in Revelation) ;
therefore we are absolutely sure that this context was intended ,
instead of a mere general “… whoever does this , will have life” ;

 

part II   —   deel II                the parable :      ‘handpicking’ the 144,000 :

 

MAT. 20:

(8b : skipped for now ; see note)
beginning FROM THE LAST TILL OF-THE BEFORE-most

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which went out
early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with
the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
(3-4)
And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you.
And they went their way.
(5-6-7)
Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the
eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them,
Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us.
He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right,
[that] shall ye receive.
(8)
So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the
labourers, and give them [their] hire, (skipped) : beginning from the last unto the first.

    the whole point of this parable is to show HOW the kingdom will start

    … in prophets termed as “the (start of-) the favourable year of IEUE” ,
