Question: How do we explain Matthew 22:14?
It must be remembered that when Jesus spoke here, he was talking To the Jews (“I am sent only to the lost sheep of Israel”) Matt.15:24.
This was the case throughout His whole Ministry!
That did not change until Paul took over in Acts.
That explains the question above from Matt. 22:14.
What is being referenced by Jesus in all the verses from Matt. 22:1 to 14, is the wedding feast of the Lamb, (which is now yet future, see Rev. 19), because as the Bride, Israel refused the Bridegroom (Jesus), finally at the end of Acts (Acts 28:25–28)!
At that stage, Paul declared the prophecy of Isa. 6:9–10; which placed the Jews in the position of Lo-Ammi, (not My people), as per. the prophecy of Hos.1 and 2!
All the Jews were invited to the “wedding feast”, (many called), but few chosen; which will not transpire until the time of Zech.12:10; which will be the beginning of the “chosen”, fulfilled in Rev.19!
