This parable in Matthew 21:33-46 is leading close to Jesus being betrayed, arrested , flogged and crucifixion. The Old Testament is full of servants of the Lord who was sent to give prophetic messages to God’s people . Each time these Old Testament prophets were not accepted very well, and were persecuted somehow. The prophet Jeremiah, he was hated so much for telling the Hebrew kings and priests, stop sinning against God, or the Lord will allow Israel to be invaded and all of you people will take to a land to be slaves. In response the leaders of Israel put Jeremiah in a deep mud pit.
Isaiah said in his book (Isaiah 6:1) he saw God seated on His throne, but an unbelievable king of Israel named Manasseh.The Prophet Isaiah was on the run from Manasseh and hid himself in a tree . So Manasseh ordered the tree be sawed and so Isaiah was killed by a King of Israel. The death of Isaiah is not in our scripture and I am not sure why but God’s word does say that Manasseh shed a lot of blood in Israel.
The Jewish leaders of the Old Testament were so prideful and thought they were good enough without the word of God being delivered by a prophet that they abused and hurt them. Don’t feel sorry for these servants of God, these prophets they knew the world would not accept their message and they suffer. That way several times they would ask God to select another person to be a prophet, but He says I want you to do it. God bless you all, the Lord loves you and so do I. Samuel Jerry Head
