The original guests represent God

[Trusting God]

In the Parable of the Great Banquet, the original guests represent the rich and the socially elite, the Pharisees and Jewish leaders who made excuses to why they could not attend the banquet. The host, was God the Father, and the original guest represented the Jewish people, the people of Israel who had been invited to the messianic banquet in the Kingdom of God. The Pharisees and the Jewish religious establishment plotted against Jesus and had him executed as a common criminal. They rejected Him, and later rendered insults against Him.

In the Parable of the Great Banquet, the later invited guests represent common people, the Gentiles, who are considered unclean by the Pharisees, and were the poor and downtrodden. These people, includes me, who was shown God

Q1. (Luke 14:15-24) In the Parable of the Great Banquet, who do the original guests represent?

The original guests were the elitist for that time/era, they were considered to be as the host, wealthy prominent figures Jewish leaders.

Who do the later invited guests represent?

The invitation extended to the last minute guests, represent the poor, lame, the blind, and maimed, which is symbolic of gentiles. Although, they were not originally invited they later became guests through rejection.

What does it mean to "compel them to come in" (KJV)?

He means convince, persuade, talk them into why they should come. Share with them the beauty and opportunity to sit at the Master's table.

How might this sense of urgency apply today?

As it was urgent to persuade the lame, blind, maimed to come back then, it is just as important and urgent to continue to invite them into the Master's Kingdom. The Master is always opening His doors for more to come in and sup with Him. There is no maximum amount for guests to arrive, in fact the Master sends the servant on several trips to convince the less fortunate to come, which is symbolic of what Holy Spirit does for His people, the church. We should always continue to provoke one another to love and good works, it never ceases - until the day of Jesus Christ.

In the Parable of the Great Banquet,the original guests represent the Pharasees and Jewish religious establishment who rejected Jesus as their Messiah.

The guests who are later invited represent the common people who are seen as unclean by the Pharasees.

"Compel them to come in" means to not take no for an answer.

This sense of urgency applies today in that we need to fulfill the Great Commission. As believers we need to give out the invitation to those who need to accept Christ.

In the parableble of the feast, the invitation was originally to the Jews. But when they rejected the invitation, it was extended to the Gentiles including me. Praise God.

"To compel them to come to the feast" means to press, persistently call and urge believers to accept the Gospel invitation to believe in and accept the saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ.

It means every Christian has the responsibility to to carrry out the great commission. This is a command and we must obey it. So help me God

The original guests represent those who are selected to do God's work but cannot, since they have other obligations. The later invited guests represent the sinners, who make it count strongly when they are called upon. Compelling them to come means to entice them perhaps with something seen to come. This calls us to accept the call and do the work of God for us to enjoy the banquet.

[pickledilly]

The original guest list was the nation of Israel, God’s chosen people. The promise of their King, the Messiah, and His redemption was given by Yahweh through His covenants, which looked to the time of a Great Banquet in the Kingdom. When the people of promise rejected the invitation because the way it was given wasn’t how they expected, it was extended to everyone else who had previously been excluded - the outcasts and “beggars” of the Gentile world. The Host, who is God the Father, declares that this invitation be given with a sense of urgency - strongly encouraging others, challenging excuses, and pressing all to come. That urgency to share the invitation should be just as strong for His messengers now as it was then. As every day brings us closer to the day of that Banquet, the urgency should be intensified in our generation, especially given the unparalleled state of things in our world today.

[jacquie7]

The original guests are the Pharisees and religious leaders, the later guests are the pour and down trodden. To compel them to come in is to urge.  This sense of urgency applies today because no man knows the day or hour when Jesus is coming back and our salvation is imperative before He returns.
