    The key takeaways are that God sees all believers as equals regardless of when they came to faith and that the reward for faithful service is the same for all. It also emphasizes that a labor of love does not seek rewards and that love itself is the greatest reward.

    The parable illustrates that God will reward all believers equally for their faithful service regardless of when they came to faith. It also shows that those who grumble about equal treatment lack understanding of God's goodness and generosity.

    The passage says that without love, even great acts like prophecy, faith, or martyrdom are worthless. It emphasizes that love is patient, kind, not jealous or boastful, and does not seek its own rewards.

    Matthew 20:1-16 (Spiritual Parallels in Red, and Clarifications in


    blue)

    "For The Kingdom of Heaven (on Earth) is like a man (YHWH) who
    was the Master of a household, who went out early in the morning (In
    The Beginning) to hire (Call) laborers for his vineyard.

    2 When He (YHWH) had agreed (made a Covenant) with the laborers


    (The Called) for a denarius a day (a lifetime), He (YHWH) sent them into
    His vineyard.
    3 He (YHWH) went out about the third hour (generations later), and saw
    others standing idle in the marketplace.
    4 To them He (YHWH) said, 'You, also, go into the vineyard, and
    whatsoever is right, I will give it to you.' So they went their way.
    5 Again He (YHWH) went out about the sixth (generations later) and the
    ninth hour,(generations later) and did likewise.
    6 About the eleventh hour (generations later, and in the End Times) He
    (YHWH) went out, and found others (Gentiles) standing idle. He
    (YHWH) said (Called) to them, 'Why do you stand here all day idle?'
    (Why don't you perform Righteous Works of Faith too?).

    7 They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' He (YHWH) said to
    them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is
    right.'
    8 When evening (The Sabbath Millennium) had come, the lord (YHWH)
    of the vineyard said to his steward (Messiah Yahshua), 'Call (First
    Resurrection occurs with the Call of Last Trumpet) the laborers (The
    Chosen Few) and pay (reward) them their hire , beginning from The
    Last to The First.'
    9 When they The Last who were hired (answered their calling) at about
    the eleventh hour (End Times & Latter Days) came, they each received a
    denarius (Their Reward in the Kingdom of YHWH on Earth).
    10 When The First came, they supposed that they would receive more;
    and they likewise each received a denarius (Their Reward in the
    Kingdom of YHWH on Earth).

    11 When they received it, they questioned the reasoning of the master
    of the household,

    Note: Remember this is a Parable based on a hypothetical


    situation.
    12 saying, 'These last have spent one hour, and You have made them
    equal to us, (same reward) who have borne the burden (been enslaved,
    and murdered) of the day and the scorching heat (wandered in the desert
    for 40 years, etc...)!'

    13 But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong.


    Didn't you agree (enter into a Covenant) with Me (YHWH) for a
    denarius (Reward)?
    14 Take that (Reward) which is yours, and go your way. It is My Good
    Will (The Righteous Will of YHWH) to give to These Last just the same
    (Reward) as The First.

    15 Isn't it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is


    your eye evil, because I am good?'
    16 So the "Last will be First, and the First Last". For many are called,
    but few are chosen."
    What Yahshua Is Telling Us here is this: We, who are among The Chosen
    Few, will receive the same reward as those Saints who came before us Or
    will come after us; that Yahweh sees us as EQUALS; that our tasks (Works of
    Faith through Love) are just as important to YHWH as the tasks of those that
    came before us Or will come after us; and that those without an Evil Eye
    (Self seeking Attitude) should Not be upset that the Reward is the same...
    Why? Simply because a "Labor of Love" does not seek a Reward ! For
    Love is a reward in and of itself, and Eternal Love is an Eternal Reward
    !

    1 Corinthians 13:2-8 (In All cases the word Love is Agape)


    2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all
    knowledge; and if I have all Faith, so as to remove mountains, But
    don't have Love, I am Nothing.
    3 If I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to
    be burned, but Don't Have Love, It Profits Me Nothing.
    4 Love Is Patient And Is Kind; Love Doesn't Envy. Love Doesn't
    Brag, Is Not Proud,
    5 Doesn't Behave Itself Inappropriately, . . . . (Love) is Not Self
    seeking . . . . Is Not Provoked, Takes No Account Of Evil;
    6 Doesn't Rejoice In Unrighteousness, But Rejoices With The Truth
    7 Bears All Things, Believes All Things, Hopes All Things, Endures
    All Things.
    8 Love Never Fails.
