“After These Things” conference video and more

In the parables of Matthew, Jesus is not addressing faithful/unfaithful believers, but an unbelieving Jewish nation. Matthew 13 Jesus introduces a new state to His Kingdom, namely a mystery state (e.g., "...the kingdom of heaven is like...") In Matt 22:1-14 the parable of the wedding feast depicts the pre-Kingdom preparations (i.e., still the Jewish age) and lunchtime for invitees, not the inaugeration of it that includes the Bridegroom's coming and His wedding to the bride/church with a dinner feast. See pages 22-26 of the Conference Notes. Everyone is "called" or invited, but few are "chosen", because only a few respond with belief (Matt 22:14, 1Pet 5:5, Rom 9-11)
