This REALLY helped me! I didn't know about the wedding clothes! I literally was reading and understood it all, but I didn't know the time period! That makes a HUGE difference!
Thank you for teaching, we used this in our class but if you could please add one needs to repent for sins to be washed white as snow and receive the garment of righteousness in Christ Jesus 2 Corinthians 5:21. Our best deeds are like filthy rags and the garment we receive is all Christ's work on the Christ and to recevie it we must beleive AND repent as even the demons believe. God bless you and thank you!
Hey girlie, thank you for your thoughts on this! This parable has made me confused over how God acts to his children, who are invited, etc., but you gave me some new things to think about!
Im new to your channel bu I love how you breakdown the readings.. Its become a great reference for me.. Thank you for all your hard work and keep it up🙏🏿
Do you think the man at the end of this parable could also be a reference to Matt 7:22-23? " Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' " This man was not chosen, he did not put on the wedding garments. He felt that what he had on was worthy and fit enough for the wedding (The Kingdom of God). But the fact of the matter is we are not worthy enough to set foot in the Kingdom, that's why Jesus had to die for our sins. We need Jesus in order to reach the Kingdom!!
Thanks girlie! No pressure!!!! I could listen to sermons all day long but you are simply refreshing. I love hearing perspectives. I hadn’t thought about the attire. Something to ponder for sure. 🤗
This is really good! However, it fell apart at the end. Traditional interpretation says that “many are called but few are chosen,” is something like “the invitation to the banquet is universal but those who are chosen to eternal life, eg those with the proper armor/wedding garment on, are relatively few compared to the many who are called. Actually that’s not true. Let’s look at this one more time. This is the story… While speaking in the sight of His opponents, He indicted them for rejecting Him and His message. Matthew 22: 1 - 7: The King sent the servants to the equivalent of Christ’s opponents. They oppressed the messengers, and they killed them. The King responded by destroying the city and those who murdered the servants. 8 - 10: The King (re)commissioned servants to invite people from the highways and byways to comes. Incidentally, this would have included bandits on the roads. He says that the people he initially invited were unworthy to come. The Lord’s opponents would have seen that as an accusation that highway robbers and criminals were “more worthy,” than His opposition, which is His way of indicting them for the high-handed ness of their opposition. The servants don’t merely invite the people. Rather, they drag them to the banquet, filling up the banquet facility. 11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless. The King approaches this one individual, and he notes that the man was not wearing a wedding garment, which very likely would have been provided for him. The man was stunned. 13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ This man was bound hand and foot, perhaps indicating that he had infiltrated the banquet and/or was disturbing the proceedings. 14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.” The Invited are those whose presence filled the wedding facility. The few are the “Chosen” and are equivalent to the single man who was bound and cast into outer darkness, not to believers who fill the wedding hall. This story is not meant to convey that the Gospel goes to a large number of people, of whom only a few are chosen to salvation and/or the inner circle of believers who grow their way to maturity and super believers. The few are those who, when all is said and done, do *not* find salvation and/or spiritual maturity over time. There is a certain irony to this too. There were relatively few Pharisees compared to the number of everyday people. I also like your analogy to the armor of God. The Pharisees believed themselves to be well armed, but, because they were full of works righteousness, they were among the spiritually blind, deaf, and lame, who were among the least well armed and most vulnerable people in the flock of God.
In the parable of the Wedding Banquet, verses 11:14 I received a different interpretation: I saw the man without the wedding clothes as a person who hasn’t fully repented or been baptised in the Holy Spirit. In my church, we talk about been cleansed by God and when been born again, we wear new clothes and our old dirty and sinful clothes are wiped clean. To me, I felt this man who was thrown out of the wedding had not fully cleansed from his sins, hence why he was rejected from Gods kingdom. The weeping and gnashing of teeth suggests he was sent to Hell for lack of repentance. I do like your interpretation of the Armour of God better though
Look that’s when the rapture happens you will enter the judgement before God if your not clean or filled up with the oil the oil is prayers faith and deeds . A lot of people are not going to make it. that is why he said many are called but few are chosen. The rapture is a good thing for one who has faith deed and prayers but the others no. Those were the first one was thrown in to darkness where there is weeping cashing of teeth
Jesus’ parable of the Wedding Feast (Matt 22:1-14) continues to cause a great deal of confusion because the traditional, calvitarded rendering of the Koine plural adjective eklektoi in Matt 22:14 - "chosen" - is *wrong.* We know that translating choice is as wrong as it is agenda-driven by examining the Koine verb rendered "chosen" in 2 Thess 2:13: heilato, which is the past participle of the verb haireó, meaning "to choose from." Given the context, i.e., given verse 22:8 where the King's specifically invited guests were described as "not worthy," we know the plural adjective eklektoi should have been rendered "deserving," or “laudable.” “Chosen” in Matt 22:14 is just one in a long list of agenda-driven, dubious translating choices whose purpose was to "reform" 16th century ecclesiology, and soteriology. For the last 5 centuries Protestant English translators have slavishly incorporated most of the same beloved, agenda-driven, and dishonest translating decisions made by their predecessors. So the theological and soteriological confusion caused by the Reformers’ (well-intentioned) translating mischief rages on, unabated.

This is the story…
While speaking in the sight of His opponents, He indicted them for rejecting Him and His message.
Matthew 22: 1 - 7: The King sent the servants to the equivalent of Christ’s opponents. They oppressed the messengers, and they killed them. The King responded by destroying the city and those who murdered the servants.

11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.
The King approaches this one individual, and he notes that the man was not wearing a wedding garment, which very likely would have been provided for him. The man was stunned.
13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”

When you pray can you pray out loud so it will cover you & us?
Hi jaaackjack

I do like your interpretation of the Armour of God better though
I love hearing your interpretation, that makes a lot of sense 👏❤
Isn't God's servants are the people who spread the good news ?
