Jesus fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah by destroying the old covenant Temple Judaism and establishing the New Covenant Israel --the Holy Christian Church. " Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God; Heb 10:19-21
[Mat 21:33] "Hear another parable. There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country.
[Mat 21:34] When the season of fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to get his fruit;
[Mat 21:35] and the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
[Mat 21:36] Again he sent other servants, more than the first; and they did the same to them.
[Mat 21:37] Afterward he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.
[Mat 21:38] But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.
[Mat 21:39] And they took him and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
[Mat 21:40] When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?"
[Mat 21:41] They said to him, "He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons."
[Mat 21:42] Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the scriptures: 'The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
[Mat 21:43] Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it." |
