Luke 19:12

Luke 19:12. "He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return." Such a representation in this parable was the more familiar to the Jews because this had actually been the case with their late princes, Herod, Archelaus, etc. They, in order to receive their kingdom, left Judea for a season, and went into a far country - to Rome - to be invested with the kingdom by the Roman emperors, and then returned invested and in the exercise of their royal authority. So Christ went into a far country, and a greater city than Rome, to be invested with the kingdom over the Jews and over mankind in this world, His own country, by One infinitely greater than the Roman emperors.
