Now, let us go back to the book of Isaiah. This parable is a little bit different than most parables that Jesus gave in that most of the parables only have one point that it is given to get across. And this particular parable is more of an allegory than it is a parable. In an allegory there is a great deal of symbolism where the things given are really representative of other things that may not be seen on the surface. In this case, almost every part of this parable is allegorical. It actually stands for other things that are really very clear once we begin to get the picture.
We are going to receive a description of the vineyard, and at the same time, see where Jesus got His basis for the parable that He just gave.
