VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. An end to the original husband men

"He will come and [utterly] put an end to those tenants and will give the vineyard to others."

The original husband men are the Jewish leaders. Synagogue is not a part of GOD's institution in the Old Testament, it's a part of human institution. If you will notice in the Old Testament, there's the (a) tabernacle, (b) temple, (c) sanctuary, (d) altar but never was there a verse in the Old testament for synagogue.

GOD's instituted or institution of worship:

a. Tabernacle - instituted by GOD thru Moses

Exodus 25:9 (Amplified Bible)

25:9 And you shall make it according to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle or dwelling and the pattern of all the furniture of it.

b. Temple - instituted by Moses and used by the prophets

1 Samuel 3:3 (Amplified Bible)

3:3 The lamp of God had not yet gone out in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was lying down

c. Sanctuary - instituted by Moses and strengthened by major and minor prophets

Exodus 15:17 (Amplified Bible)

15:17 You will bring them in [to the land] and plant them on Your own mountain, the place, O Lord, You have made for Your dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.

d. Altar - very first institution of worship that GOD established, through the hand of Noah

Genesis 8:20 (Amplified Bible)

8:20 And Noah built an altar to the Lord and took of every clean [four-footed] animal and of every clean fowl or bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

e. synagogue - none found in the Old Testament but in His Grace and Truth, the LORD JESUS CHRIST used this to spread the Gospel.

Matthew 12:8-9 (Amplified Bible)

12:8 For the Son of Man is Lord [even] of the Sabbath.

12:9 And going on from there, He went into their synagogue.

Luke 19:27 (Amplified Bible)

19:27 [The indignant king ended by saying] But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence!

This is the time of their destruction where Jewish leaders are figuratively "destroyed" because the Gentiles are reigning over them - the Roman government.

Matthew 21:41 (Amplified Bible)

21:41 They said to Him, He will put those wretches to a miserable death and rent the vineyard to other tenants of such a character that they will give him the fruits promptly in their season.

Matthew 22:7 (Amplified Bible)

22:7 [Hearing this] the king was infuriated; and he sent his soldiers and put those murderers to death and burned their city.

The Gospel of Salvation and Grace has been preached before the Gentiles came in and were first preached to the Jews but they rejected it with unbelief.

Acts 13:46 (Amplified Bible)

13:46 And Paul and Barnabas spoke out plainly and boldly, saying, It was necessary that God’s message [concerning salvation through Christ] should be spoken to you first. But since you thrust it from you, you pass this judgment on yourselves that you are unworthy of eternal life and out of your own mouth you will be judged. [Now] behold, we turn to the Gentiles (the heathen).
