Luke 19

In that His disciples -

"...thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear." (New Testament | Luke 19:11)

...or in other words, this kingdom would rule all nations with the Messiah as King, the Savior taught a parable to explain what was going to happen, teaching that -

"A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return." (New Testament | Luke 19:12)

This was a clear prophecy of what was to come. In this parable, the nobleman had ten servants, while also noting that all his "citizens" hated him and would that the noble would not "reign" over them. As he departed, he gave each servant a pound with the charge to "Occupy" or do business with untill he returned.

One servant was able to increase his pound ten fold, another 5 fold, while one did nothing or "no business" with his pound. To those who did magnify their possession, the noblemen, as he returned with a the kingdom that he had received -

"Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities." (New Testament | Luke 19:17)

Which suggests that the nobleman gave a portion of his kingdom he had acauired to the servant. He did proportionately the same with the servant that magnified to 5 pounds. But of the one that did nothing -

"...he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds." (New Testament | Luke 19:24)

and those that stood by were surprised noting -

"...Lord, he hath ten pounds...) (New Testament | Luke 19:25)

or in other words, he already has ten pounds. That would suggest in my mind, that the pounds were never returned to the nobleman but was added to including reigning over cities -

"For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him." (New Testament | Luke 19:26)

I can't help but related this parable to the Oath and Covenant of the priesthood. Of those who have received this Oath and Covenant of the priesthood in our day, have been given the charge to "Occupy" or do His business with this gift, or in other words -

"For whoso is faithful unto the obtaining these two priesthoods of which I have spoken, and the magnifying their calling..." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 84:33)

Recieve much the same promise wherein it is covenanted to the point that -

"...all that my Father hath shall be given unto him." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 84:38)
