I hadn't really ...Hi Sarah, you're welcome! I hadn't really studied this parable out until somebody said it was about death bed conversions. I understand this parable to be about salvation and rewards, but not about a person receiving salvation on their death bed. <br /><br />When you take the time and really study these scriptures and break down each verse we can understand that the Lord is telling us that there will be many chosen who will enter the kingdom and labor in the vineyard even at the eleventh hour, this could be a time right before His Second Coming, and these that are chosen to enter the kingdom and labor in the vineyard last, will be first! And they will be equal to those who may have labored in the vineyard for years!<br /><br />I'll keep studying this parable and if I get some more revelation from the Holy Spirit I will post it.<br /><br />God Bless,<br />TyroneGospel Of The Kingdom Of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03666349436873149482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910285603688436691.post-37831715875427847262010-11-15T20:51:26.341-06:002010-11-15T20:51:26.341-06:00Hi Sarah, Thank you for commenting :-) This is wha...Hi Sarah, Thank you for commenting :-) This is what I understand.<br /><br />The first verse of scripture tells us what this parable is about.<br /><br />1)“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard."<br /><br />We can understand that Jesus is the landowner and He went out early to bring some laborers to work in His vineyard.<br /><br />6-7) "And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day?’ They said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.’"<br /><br />Jesus found some other people at the eleventh hour who He called to enter the Kingdom and work in the vineyard.<br /><br />8) “So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, ‘Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.’"<br /><br />12)"saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.’"<br /><br />Now we can understand that those who came into the kingdom last WORKED only one hour in the vineyard, but the Lord made them equal to those who had worked ALL day. <br /><br />16)"So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen"<br /><br />Those who enter the kingdom last will receive their reward before those who entered the kingdom thousands of years ago, like Abraham, Moses, David, ect.. Even though the last may have only worked one hour in the vineyard, the Lord made them equal to the first who labored many more hours.<br /><br />There will be others who will come into the kingdom after us, even until the last hour and they will be first. What is written in this parable does not tell us that a laborer will be on his or her death bed before they enter the kingdom. They will ENTER the kingdom and work in the vineyard but it will not be for long. <br /><br />The question is what must one do in order to enter the kingdom, even at the eleventh hour? You must be born again!<br /><br />In His Love,<br />TyroneGospel Of The Kingdom Of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03666349436873149482noreply@blogger.com
