Luke 19:11-27 has a counterpart in Matthew 25:14-30 both these parables are essentially the same and by comparing scripture with scripture one should come up with the proper interpretation.

Parables are a true to life story used to emphasize a particular point. in these it is How the men of Israel will use that which Lord has given them until he returns. the men are Israel they have the Law how are they using it? they have the oracles of God (at that time and now) how are they sharing it? Applying it? supporting it?

the Lords return to his kingdom is at what is now understood to be a 7year wrath of God poured out on unbelieving mankind and finish the chastisement of Israel or the final week of the weeks proposed in Jeremiah and Daniel.

The Body of Christ is already gone so it has nothing to do with them when the Lord returns. There are those Jews who claim to be doing the work of God. so their work will be judged when the Lord returns. there's are those who claim to be keeping the Law in so they will be judged as to how that Law was followed. Some to profit and some to damnation to hell fire.

Remember the Parable has an added command, Occupy till I come. in Luke it is also added that the citizens hated the Nobleman. Most Israel still hates Jesus Christ. they have not been fully occupying the land of Israel until recently. and they have been kept from keeping their temple worship because a pagan temple sits where theirs should be. during the 7 year peace agreement with the Anti-christ during the 6 year wrath of God's chastisment, they will be allowed to follow the Law completely so as to resume temple worship with sacrifices and practice the Law to the fullest of their ability.
