29<\/strong>. they shall come from the east<\/em>, and from the west<\/em> ] There is an obvious reference to Isa 49:12<\/span>; Isa 14:6<\/span>. Nothing more furiously excited the envy of the Jews than the free admission of the Gentiles to those privileges of the Kingdom of Heaven (Eph 3:6<\/span>) which they rejected. Rom 11:1-36<\/span>; Act 13:44-52<\/span>.<\/p>\n shall sit down<\/em> ] Rather, shall recline at banquet, Luk 11:37<\/strong><\/span><\/strong>, Luk 14:8<\/span>, &c.; Mar 6:39<\/span>.<\/p>\n Verse 29. They shall come<\/B><\/I>] That is, the Gentiles<\/I>, in every part of the world, shall receive the Gospel of the grace of God, when the Jews<\/I> shall have rejected it.<\/P><\/p>\n And they shall come<\/strong>,…. From all parts the world, from every nation under the heavens; meaning the Gentiles, and which will be a greater aggravation of the punishment of the Jews, and cause still more rage and madness: these shall<\/p>\n come from the east and from the west<\/strong>; from the rising of the sun, to the going down of the same, Isa 45:6<\/span><\/p>\n and from the north, and from the south<\/strong>; from the most distant parts of the world inhabited by men; see Isa 43:5<\/span>. God has his chosen ones, and Christ has a people in all parts of the world; and therefore his Gospel must be preached to all nations, for the gathering of them in, which will be done in the latter day; and in the resurrection morn, as these will be raised in the several places where they will have been buried, they will come from thence, and make one body, and will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, and will be for ever with him:<\/p>\n and shall sit down in the kingdom of God<\/strong>; in Christ’s kingdom, in the new heavens, and new earth, as persons that sit down at a table, to partake of a feast; see Lu 22:30<\/span> and in the ultimate glory, where they shall have rest, peace, and joy, for evermore. The Ethiopic version renders it, “they shall rejoice in the kingdom of God”; they shall partake of the joys of heaven; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away; and the Persic version, “and they shall take a repose, and sit and rest”; they shall rest from all their labour, and be in perfect ease and peace; [See comments on Mt 8:11]<\/span>.<\/p>\n Shall sit down <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>). Future passive indicative third plural. Recline, of course, is the figure of this heavenly banquet. Jesus does not mean that these will be saved in different ways, but only that many will come from all the four quarters of the earth. <\/P> <\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1) “And they shall come from the east, and from the west,” <\/strong>(kai eksousin apo anatolon kai desmon) “And they will come from (the) east and from (the) west,” wherever their bodies went down in death they shall be brought forth for this golden, earthly, millennial reign with Christ on earth, Joh 5:28-29<\/span>.<\/p>\n 2) “And from the north, and from the south,” <\/strong>(kai apo borra kai notou) “And from north and from South,” completing every directional dimension of the earth, wherever their bodies went down in death, when the hour that the master, the bridegroom shall come in the air, to be glorified in His saints, 2Th 1:8-10<\/span>.<\/p>\n 3) “And shall sit down in the kingdom of God.” <\/strong>(kai anaklithesontai en te basileia tou theou) “And they will recline (rest) in the kingdom of God,” also referred to as the kingdom of Christ, when He shall sit on David’s throne, Luk 1:32-33<\/span>; 1Co 15:24-28<\/span>; Rev 7:9-10<\/span>; There is something better beyond death for all the redeemed. This appears to describe His coming to the earth to conclude The Tribulation The Great, when He comes “to be glorified in His saints,” the church, “and to be admired in all them that believe,” the saved of both Israel and from among the Gentiles, who are not of “the saints” the church, to whom He delivered “the faith,” 2Th 1:10<\/span>; Jud 1:3<\/span>.<\/p>\n 29. And they shall come from the east He now draws a larger illustration from the fact, that the Jews, who reckoned themselves the only lawful heirs of God, were to be rejected, and that the Gentiles were to be substituted in their room, and obtain the life which was promised to Abraham and his posterity. He contrasts the Gentiles with them, in order to excite them to faith by a holy jealousy: as Paul writes, that <\/p>\n “<\/p>\n it will be a distinguished honor of his ministry, if he excite any of his nation and blood to such an emulations,” (Rom 11:13<\/span>.) <\/p>\n The Jews must have been stung by it: for they had an inordinate love of themselves, and proudly despised God and his gifts. But as we shall, ere long, meet with this sentence again in the Gospel by Matthew I now glance at it more slightly. <\/p>\n 29<\/strong>. <\/strong> They shall come<\/em> At the final consummation. For few as the Lord finds the number of the saved now <\/em> to be, yet when the earthly history of the race closes, immense will be the number gathered from all points of the compass, constituting, perhaps, the vast majority of mankind. The points of the compass are given in their usual order; but it is something of a coincidence that they follow the course in which the Gospel seems in human history to proceed.<\/p>\n “And they will come from the east and west, and from the north and south, and will sit down (recline) within the Kingly Rule of God.”<\/p>\n And even worse for them to see would be those who would flood in from all parts of the world, as the prophets had prophesied, who would also as faithful servants take their places in the Kingly Rule of God. The idea would include returning ‘exiles’ who have subsequently believed (Isa 11:11-12<\/span>; Isa 11:15-16<\/span>; Isa 45:6<\/span>; Isa 49:12<\/span> and often), but both Jesus and Luke probably saw it as including Gentiles as well (Isa 42:6<\/span>; Isa 49:6<\/span>). It would seem as though all the world was included, and yet they would be left out!<\/p>\n ‘Recline.’ They will share in the Messianic banquet while their Master serves them (Luk 12:37<\/span>).<\/p>\n Luk 13:29<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>They shall come, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> This part of the answer was levelled directly against the Jewish prejudice, and is a plain declaration that the salvation of God shall be extended to people of all parts of the world; and that many who thought themselves alone entitled to God’s favour, in virtue of their peculiar privileges, shall, for their misconduct, be finally excluded from his presence. See on Mat 3:9<\/span>; Mat 8:11-12<\/span>. <\/p>\n 29 And they shall come from the east, and from<\/em> the west, and from the north, and from<\/em> the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 29. And shall sit down<\/strong> ] As at a sumptuous supper. When, therefore, we are invited to a full feast, think of heaven: as Fulgentius beholding at Rome the majesty of the emperor, the glory of the senate, the lustre of the nobility, cried out, How beautiful is Jerusalem the celestial, since Rome the terrestrial appeareth with such splendour. So Master Esty, when he sat and heard a sweet concert of music, seemed upon this occasion carried up for the time beforehand to the place of his rest, saying very passionately, What music may we think there is in heaven? (Dr Hall’s Art of Divine Meditation.) <\/p>\n Luk 13:29<\/span> points to an aggravation of the misery of the outcasts: men coming from every quarter of the globe to join the festive company and finding admission. The shut door and the too late arrival are now out of view, and for the private house of the parable is substituted the Kingdom of God which it represents. It is needless to ask whether Mt. or Lk. has given this saying in its true place. Perhaps neither has The important point is their joint testimony to the saying as a true utterance of Jesus.<\/p>\n they shall come. A reference to Isa 49:12. <\/p>\n and.
