Mat 21:33 Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard, and put a fence around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a watch tower, and rented it out to growers, and went into a far country:

Here we have another analogy where God is caste as a landowner dealing with workers. Notice that the landowner improves his property, making it productive. Here, God is like an entreprenuer, creating a new business from nothing. He eventually turns that business over to others, letting them run it.

The planting is a spiritual improvement. Seeds are Christ's symbol for the spirit. Spirit is the information giving rise to form. The fencing and watchtower are physical improvements. Trees, plants, and sight are Christ's symbol for the material realm. Digging the winepress is a mental improvement. Wine is Christ's liquid symbol for the mental realm. All of these improvements lead to a specific relationship: leasing the land to those who will work it.

Fiunally, the landowner goes on a journey abroad. In other words, God hides himself. The spirit is always hidden. The information is tucked away inside of the physical, mental, or emotional thing where it cannot be directly perceived. Here, what is hidden is the landowner's investment and ownership of the land, which he has improved.

"Planted" is from phuteuô, which means "to plant," "to produce," "to set-up," and specifically, "to plant with trees."

"Put a fence" is from phragmos, which means "to fence" and "to hedge."

"Rented" is from ekdidomi, which means literally, "to give out."
