Please explain your concept of "Regeneration" if other than our new birth, and to the timeline of that rule.
To me it simply means what's coming after this present generation... staggering things like the resurrection of the dead, the restitution of all things...
I am sorry to burst your bubble bro. But Jesus goes on to illustrate the principles of the regeneration with His parable of the workers in the vineyard. His parable CLEARLY indicates that the regeneration is about this
PRESENT Gospel dispensation. He said, "
FOR the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard." The word "FOR" is a logical connective. It means that the parable of the landowner hiring laborers is about the regeneration. This is bolstered by the fact that Jesus said that in the regeneration "the first shall be last, and the last first" (vs. 19:30).
He REPEATS this principle at the end of His parable (vs. 20:15).
Jesus gave His disciples the keys to the kingdom. He told them that whatever they would do on earth would also be done in heaven. From that point onward the disciples ruled over the twelve tribes of Israel by bringing them into the kingdom. They were the "laborers" of the parable.
This interpretation is consistent with the context and with the rest of scripture. It also agrees with anthropology which tells us that
there are no physical Israelites today. Therefore, the disciples would have had to have ruled over the twelve tribes before the tribes had become extinct.
Christians do Christianity no favors by dismissing anthropological and scientific evidence. They only give athiests valid reasons to mock us.
Ignore the chapter divisions. The parable beginning in chapter 20 is the continuation and the explanation of the regeneration at the end of chapter 19.
