Contextual Meaning

The harvest time stands for the time when God expected to obtain some reward for His investment in Israel. The servants represent the prophets whom Israel"s leaders typically rejected, persecuted, and even in some cases murdered. The main point of the parable is the wicked treatment Israel"s leaders had given the servants whom God had sent to them.
