I would like to add that, Matthew 22 will show also this
very same thing from our Lord Himself.
He explanes how His followers will, and are doing at this time,
go to those who have been called, and ask them to come and
join the marriage feast. But they "and they would not come",
(wouldn't except the truth).
Again He tells his people to try again, and go to the ones called
"But they made light of [it], and went their ways, one to his farm,
another to his merchandise:"
And again, they refuse to except the truth, only this time they
make light of it. (make fun of, laugh at, ect)
I see this happening in this place today, and in all the churches
today.
Then the next thing we read is this:
And the remnant took his servants, and entreated [them]
spitefully, and slew [them].
These people took hold of them, and killed them. This is the
very same thing you will read about in chapter 19 of Revelations.
You will also read in both Rev19/Matt22 how the Lord will
handle these people who turn from the truth.
