“And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.”
At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard — the harvest-time servant collection is the first in the series of missions that will be rejected. The servants represent the prophets: Israel's history is the history of God sending prophets to call his people to fidelity and the people rejecting, mistreating, and killing the prophets (cf. Nehemiah 9:26, Jeremiah 7:25–26, 2 Chronicles 36:15–16).
