The whole earth will become a fruitful vineyard. There will be kings of the earth - the keepers of the vineyard - and they will enjoy the fruits of the earth, but they will be subject to Christ. They will pay tribute. (“Canticle 6: The Triumph of Love” by H. Smith)
• “Baal-hamon" signifies-Lord of a multitude; and evidently refers to the multitude of nations-the whole earth, which now form the vast vineyard of the Lord of glory. (“Matthew 13” by F.B. Hole)
