Parable of the wedding banquet

[Gaétan]

Matthew 22 – Parable of the Wedding Banquet

1 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying, 2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. 3 He sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. 4 Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”’ 5 But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6 while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7 The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. 9 Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ 10 And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests. 11 But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. 12 And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”

✨ Commentary: The Wedding as the Call Beyond Death

For Jesus, the wedding feast is the celebration that calls you after death. He also speaks of it in the parable of the ten virgins, where five were not worthy of the Kingdom. This parable means that some refuse to pass through the tunnel and enter the Kingdom, while others do enter and find themselves in the Kingdom of God—but must return because they are not worthy.

John 3:3–7 (ESV) Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’”

To enter the Kingdom of God, one must incarnate in the flesh, die, and be born of spirit. If you do not enter after being born of flesh and then of spirit at the moment of death, you cannot enter. However, there may be soul-guides—those who assist in the passage. A person who does not pass through the tunnel at death can no longer enter afterward. Those who do pass through but are not accepted must reincarnate again in a body of flesh to correct their shortcomings and have another chance at their death.

Being born of water means being born of flesh—just as Jesus describes birth when the waters break and the baby is born. Being born of spirit is when the soul separates from the body at the moment of death.

The Bible says that none are rejected.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

If God loses any of us, then he is a loser who cannot create us all equal and perfect.

How many levels of soul perfection do you see God creating?

Good, medium and go to hell?
