So if God doesnt requires us to obey Him and do His commandments to be saved why did Jesus Himself tell us in Matthew 25:30 "And cast you the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
I submit for your consideration the CONTEXT of the
parable/prophecy of the ten talents and/or ten pounds.
Notice in Matthew 25 we are given a vague time frame:
Mat 25:19
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh,
and reckoneth with them.
When we look at the Luke account this time frame is shown
in a much more specific manner, which demonstrates these
events occur AFTER the Lord has "received His Kingdom"
or AFTER the destruction of the Revelation Beast and the END
of the Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven" [Mat 25:1-13]
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.
In other words, contrary to the common perception, the TIME
when this event occurs is NOT at the end of the Great Commission
of the (3rd) Christian "Kingdom of Heaven".... it is AFTER the end
of the (4th) Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven" and the man
called the "unprofitable servant" is one of the "foolish virgins"
living in the Fourth "Kingdom" (or the Revelation Beast)
and the others are the "wise virgins" [Mat 25:1-13]
Notice the Lord's commandment to the "wise virgins"
(or the Last Saints) after the "unprofitable servant" is dismissed:
This is a command given to the Last Saints AFTER they have
already experienced the "Final Harvest"... which occurs before
the end of the Great Tribulation/Revelation Beast.
Luk 19:27
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should
reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
Note: the parable/prophecy of the "ten virgins" living during
the Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven" [Mat 25:1] could
not possibly represent events during the Great Commission of
the Christian "Kingdom of Heaven" [Mat 13] because at no time
during the Great Commission did the Saints refuse to preach and
send people to another (unnamed) group for their salvation...
as shown in verses 25:8-9. However, that event DID HAPPEN
during the Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven".
In fact, this event is also shown after the end of Daniel's Fourth
Beast/Kingdom... which is the same people and events as the
Great Tribulation and Revelation Beast.
Dan 7:26-27
But the judgment shall sit [rule], and they [the Last Saints]
shall take away his [the Little Horn's] dominion, to consume and
to destroy it unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to
the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
