Wedding Feast and Covenant Inclusion

Matthew 22 is invitation, murder, fire, and a filled hall from the streets.

Plain

Prophets used marriage for Yahweh and Israel. Jesus tells the story as a son’s wedding — the kingdom as nuptial joy around Himself.

In Matthew

The invited guests who will not come are the official heirs. The troops who destroy their city are the most explicit AD 70 line in the parables.

First-Century Horizon

A man without a wedding garment enters without the King’s provision. Inclusion is not costume-optional.

Scripture

New Creation Reality

The feast is open. The city that killed the messengers is not the venue.
