[36] Luke 19: The 10 slaves the 10 minas and the 10 cities

12 Therefore he said: A certain man of noble birth travelled to a distant land to receive [a] kingdom to himself and to return (amended translation from Greek).
13 Calling ten slaves of his he gave them ten minas and told them: Do business till I come.
14 But his citizens hated him and sent out a body of ambassadors/delegation after him, to say: We do not want this [one] to reign over us.
15 Eventually when he got back after having received the kingdom [], he commanded to be called to him these slaves to whom he had given the silver money (argurion), in order to ascertain what they had gained by business activity.
16 Then the first one presented himself, saying: Lord, your mina gained ten minas.
17 So he said to him: Well done, good slave! Because in a very small matter you have proved yourself faithful, hold authority [] over ten cities.
18 Now the second came, saying: Your mina, Lord, made five minas.
19 He said to this one also: You, too, be in charge [] of five cities.
20 But a different one came, saying: Lord, here is your mina, that I kept laid away in a cloth.
21 You see, I was in fear of you, because you are a harsh man; you take up what you did not deposit and you reap what you did not sow.
22 He said to him: Out of your own mouth I judge you, wicked [ponhre] slave. You knew, that I am a harsh man, taking up what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?
23 Hence why is it you did not put my silver money [argurion] in a bank (singular)? Then on my arrival/having come I would have collected it with interest.
24 With that he said to those standing by: Take the mina from him and give it to him that has the ten minas.
25 But they said to him: Lord, he has ten minas! 
26 I say to you, to everyone that has, more will be given; but from the one that does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
27 Moreover, these enemies of mine that did not want me to reign over them bring here and slaughter them before me (Luke 19:12-27 adapted from Greek).

The literal moral message is, use your bosses assets wisely even when he is not around. There are two Successive Repeated Actions in verse 22. We are not completely sure how this affects the account. We believe that it relates to the fact that says: Do business until I come twice, once in each presence, to the totality of 10 presidents of and who do such business. It only affects the word symbolic meaning of course.

The Wicked slave is saying to that he takes up what he doesn't deposit anyway, so what was the point in his depositing the talent for . replies, true enough, but you have lost me the interest I would have got had you deposited it as instructed.

The Event and Word Symbolic Meanings

The account is about the 10 presidents of and , 5 in each presence, in the symbolic meaning. The master said to 10 slaves:

13 Do business till I come (Luke 19).

Given the understandings of the parable of the slaves given the talents in Matthew 25 see [35], this parable proves that comes to end the business of each first slave in each presence, and , and that each business only lasts for 5 watches before the coming, whereupon a new FDS is appointed ( and ). We are using the term 'watch' to mean 'presidency'. So comes during the 5th watch. This is also apparent from the fact that advice to watch out for ' coming ceases in the counsel to Sardis, the 5^th congregation in Revelation 3.

But the slaves given the silver money are not necessarily among the 10 slaves given the minas in verse13!!

The Faithful Slave becomes the evil slave . The Wicked and Sluggish Slave (the Laodicean administration) becomes the Good for Nothing Slave ().

There are no successive designations or descriptions in the account. So we are just looking at one word symbolic meaning. The phrase 'silver money' is repeated, so the account is about Christians (God's money) not cash - by the Repetition Principle. If the phrase 'silver money' only appeared once in the account then, the holy code would be broken.

12 Therefore he said: A certain man of noble birth [] travelled to a distant land to receive [a] kingdom to himself and to return (amended translation from Greek).
13 Calling ten slaves of his [the 5 presidential administrations of and the 5 presidential administration of ] he gave them ten minas [A Mina stands for an administration because it is a 50 count - a Pentecost. 10 administrations of saints, one for each presidency. These are administrations not administrations. So the Minas are of gold in the greater meaning not of silver] and told them: Do business till I come. [He comes in the 5th presidencies of and to appoint and ]
14 But his citizens hated him and sent out a body of ambassadors/delegation [from the Watchtower Bethel, the city - not the Laodiceans] after him, to say: We do not want this [one] to reign over us [We do not want in the form of the reserves ruling over us or 4 to be our King].
15 Eventually when he got back after having received the kingdom [after 2008Nisan22], he commanded to be called to him these/those slaves to whom he had given the silver money [argurion] [ saints are silver, saints are gold. The silver is not said to be a Mina because there was no administrative authority over the silver money that was given], in order to ascertain what they had gained by business activity [].
16 Then the first one [] presented himself, saying: Lord, your mina acquired-besides or worked towards ten minas [A Mina is 50 shekels. Peter's administration worked towards 10 administrations, 5 of and 5 of , these actually being all 10 Minas given to the 10 slaves who are the 10 presidents].
17 So he said to him: Well done, good slave! Because in a very small matter [a micro-church - ? A small thing in number and then large in number but small in time] you have proved yourself faithful, hold authority [total authority] over ten cities [Over , the small thing - is it not a small thing? - said Lot. 10 months of authority over saints].
18 Now the second came [Russell in the second presence], saying: Your mina, Lord, made five minas [the 5 administrations of ].
19 He said to this one also: You, too, be over [not hold authority over, but be over] five cities [But no mention of a small matter. Russell is put over the reappointed Laodicean administration for 5 months of authority over saints].

Minas are Pentecostal (being 50 shekels). So a Mina stands for an administration. Obviously a city stands for an administration or a month of administration 

20 But a different one came [Not one of the 10 slaves given 10 minas. The Laodicean Administration. Different in that he was never given a Mina - he took it, and then became appointed], saying: Lord, here is your mina, that I kept laid away in a cloth/death robe [sudarion] [They hid the Laodicean administration of living saints and disguised them as judicially second dead!] [In the literal meaning the wicked slave was not confident in his business acumen and was worried than if he did business with it, then he might lose it all] [in the greater meaning he is worried about losing his position on the Governing Body if he goes public with Laodicea and it all falls apart].
21 You see, I was in fear of you, because you are an austere man [his experience of through the saints of / was that they were hard and unloving] you take up what you did not deposit [uproots darnel] and you reap what you did not sow [putting false saints into ].
22 He said to him: Out of your own mouth I judge you, wicked [Ponhre] slave [in other words himself takes up what he did not deposit, the Mina of Laodicea, and reaps what he did not sow, the saints - because he is not the mediator of that covenant - he has no seed]. You knew, that I am a austere man, taking up what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?
23 Hence why is it you did not put my silver money [argurion] [Silver money is s in Laodicea. The mina was reserves] in a bank (singular)? [in or merely publicly accept them] Then on my arrival/having come I would have collected it with interest [more silver money - saints].
24 With that he said to those standing by: Take the mina [The congregation of reserves from Laodicea] from him [] and give it to him that has the ten minas [Actually to Sodom under Peter Peter. Russell was over the mina first, in reappointed Laodicea, but did not hold authority over them and neither was the mina removed from the Laodicean Administration under Russell].
25 But they said to him: Lord, he has ten minas! [In the Kingdom Peter has authority over all the Kings including those in the 10 administrations of and and those who were in Laodicea]
26 I say to you, to everyone that has [a water baptism], more [saints] will be given; but from the one that does not have [a water baptism], even what he has [the saints he still has] will be taken away.
27 Moreover, these enemies of mine that did not want me to reign over them bring here and slaughter them before me [Passover execute them in the s, after has come into the church - when it is too late to be either a king or a priest. ' enemies can make it into the Kingdom but not as Kings or priests]  (Luke 19:12-27 adapted from Greek).

The Wicked slave of Luke 19 is the wicked fulfilment of the Wicked and Sluggish slave of Matthew 25, by the No Coincidences Principle. So perhaps the Laodiceans in the Roman Catholic Church were more sluggish than wicked? 

The increases under the first 6 watches of the Lord's day are recorded in Numbers 11 when God says, referring to the feeding program of meat, which is the food of , compared with the manna of :

19 You will eat not 1 day, nor 2 days, nor 5 days nor 10 days nor 20 days, 
20 but up to a month of days, until it comes out of your nostrils (Numbers 11).

7 stands for events successive in time in the bible, whenever it appears. Check it our for yourself - or see The Symbolic meaning of 7. Time is what God counts in sevens. So the 7 congregations of Revelation are successive in the Lord's day. They are:
