you miss THE POINT
The PEOPLE in the parable/prophecy are the people of the (4th) Great Tribulation Kingdom
AFTER the Last Saint has been "sealed" (saved) and NOT the people in the (3rd) Christian Kingdom
BEFORE the Last Saint has been "sealed". [Rev 7:1-3]
NOW... I have already shown this to you. Please pay attention this time.
This establishes the CONTEXT of the passage (is it Third Beast of Fourth Beast)
NOTICE Jesus returned "having RECEIVED the Kingdom".
The people in the parable/prophecy are the people living on earth when the Lord Returns
These are NOT people in the Christian Great Commission BEFORE the Last Saint is "sealed'
these are people in the Great Tribulation Kingdom AFTER the Last Saint is "sealed"
BEFORE you do anything else DEAL with the fact that Jesus RETURNED in the prophecy...
THAT is the Context of the prophecy.
Deal with the CONTEXT of the prophecy ... AFTER HE RETURNED.
You must read the text carefully
Luk 19:15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having RECEIVED the kingdom,
then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money,
that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

The very same people that reject the nobleman at the beginning of the parable, are the very same people that the nobleman returns to and destroys. Again, no way around that.
Was Christ rejected as king by first century apostate israel? Yes
John 19:15 They cried out, “Away with him, away with him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.”
Was this same generation that rejected Christ as king destroyed? Yes
Luke 19:43-44 For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
You continue to refuse to provide any serious scholarship for your proposed 3rd and 4th kingdom theology. Is this your own personal theology that you made up? I have no interest in debating a made up theology, unless you can provide and serious scholarship in support.
Here is an example of providing serious scholarship. Historic Premillennialist John Gill’s commentary on his Luke 19:27
“But those mine enemies,.... Meaning particularly the Jews, who were enemies to the person of Christ, and hated and rejected him, as the King Messiah; and rebelled against him, and would not submit to his government; and were enemies to his people, and were exceeding mad against them, and persecuted them; and to his Gospel, and the distinguishing truths of it, and to his ordinances, which they rejected against themselves:
which would not that I should reign over them; see Luke 19:14
bring hither, and slay them before me; which had its accomplishment in the destruction of Jerusalem, when multitudes of them were slain with the sword,”
