“For it is as when a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered to them his goods.”
‘It is as --.' That is, ‘the Kingly Rule of Heaven is as --.' Note the relationship of the Kingly Rule of Heaven to the man who is going away. It is He Who has the Kingly Rule. And those to whom He gives responsibilities are under His Kingly Rule. On going away for a while He hands over all that is His to His servants for them to make use of while He is away. They are to use it in recognition of His second coming, the time for giving account. Each is to make of them what they can.
