This is a parable of the kingdom of heaven dealing with things at the end

2. certain king – God
a. marriage for his son – Rev 12:7-9; Matt 25:1-13

3. servants – Rev 11:18; Rev 7:3 to call them
a. bidden – invited – this was the Jews (Rom 11:12)
b. would not come – refused the invite (like a man refusing the invitation to get saved) – under Peter, Stephen, Apollos, and Paul

4. all things are ready – doesn’t sound like first advent, because no one ever mentioned the bride or the wedding, he wasn’t ready for the dinner yet – could be early church age after Paul’s preaching (no one knew about the bride until Paul Eph 5) – Paul was looking for the son to return even in his lifetime Tit 2:13

5. made light of it – farm and merchandise – the marriage of the son was not as important to them as their possessions Lk 14:16-20 (land, oxen, wife)

6. remnant (those who had not gone to their families or possessions) – slew them – like Paul had been killing Christians in his day 1 Pet 4:12-14

7. king sent forth his armies, destroyed the murderers, and burnt their city – his armies were the Romans under Titus (like Nebu had been his servant Jer 25:9) who killed the murderous Jews (Acts 7:52) and destroyed their city (Matt 24:2)

8. wedding ready – now all the way up here at the end of the church age – Rev 19:7-9 is right before the Second Advent Rev 19:11-17 = unworthy – Acts 13:46

9. find – bid – whosoever will let him come – Like Rev 22:17

10. bad and good – guests for the wedding (bad = ??? Lk 14:21 poor, maimed, halt, blind)

11. a man – Is 14:16 – not wedding garment like Is 61:10; Rev 19:8; or Rev 7:14

12. friend – like Judas Matt 26:50 – speechless – first time since Gen 3:1 and Is 14:13-14 (see Rev 12:10)

13. bind him – Rev 20:2 – outer darkness – Matt 8:12

14. many called few chosen – all were bidden but many refused – those who came were chosen to enter
