Bible Note: The whole veiw of this verse should be read in light of the context of chapters 24 and 25. In them Jesus is describing the last days to his disciples and the signs of his comming. see Mt 24:3 Then he tells them about it plainly in verses 4-51. Then in chaper 25, the same chapter of which the verse of the parable from which you speek of, Jesus tells the comming of his kingdom as parables, two to be exact. One of the ten virgins Mt 25:1-13, and one of the talents Mt 25:14-30. The point of the both parables is that we are to be ready for his comming. Always in anticipaiton that he could come at any moment. Note that in the case of the ten virgins 5 were "wise" or ready for the bridegroom. The others were "foolish" or not ready for the bridegroom. The same is true of the servants and the tallents, 2 were ready because they had put their talents to use. One just went off and hid his talent. The full interpretation of these parables are given to us by Jesus in Mt 25:31-46. In which he is describing the Great White throne Judgement spoken of in Rv 20:11-15. (also see Mt 13:24-30 and Mt 13:36-43) After Jesus triumphs over Satan, Satan is cast into the lake of fire for a 1,000 years, during which we will reign with Christ on earth for those 1,000 years (see Rv. 20:1-7). There will then be a final judgment or a separation if you will, between those who are of God and those who are not. |
