The Parable of the Banquet (Matthew 22)
>1Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables: 2“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
>4Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
>5But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business. 6The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
He made a covenant with Israel, repeatedly alleged to be the bride of God (why worship of foreign gods is considered adultary and prostitution), but they broke the covenant repeatedly, refused to come to the banquet
>7The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city. 8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy. 9Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’
So instead he opens up the covenant to all who are willing to come, as the feast/salvation is already prepared.
>10So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
The nations were eager to accept the message and Christ into their heart.
