And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness. — Genesis 15:3-6
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ... And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. — Galatians 3:16, 29
And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife. And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. — Genesis 16:2-4
And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. — Genesis 21:1-3
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise... Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. — Galatians 4:22-23, 28

Today, the battle continues. The children of the bondwoman openly testify to being a slave to sin, and those of promise teach that Christ redeemed us so we no longer are slaves to walk after the flesh. The children of the flesh continue to persecute and mock the children of promise.

Oh but which of the two children know Christ . The ones that are set free . For Christ came to set the captives free . Their is no condemnation to those who are Christs , who walk after the SPIRIT and not the FLESH. I bet you remember this line as well butero . I protest by your rejoicing , I Die Daily . Onward in the Lord , for as the days keep going on the times will only worsen and the words of mockery and hate against the saints will become actions that lead to the death of many lambs . Day by day , IN THE LORD and by the LORD shall the saints march onward , counting the cost of all loss and persecution as only gain . As they fill up the sufferings of Christ too. It simply matters not what comes against us , we got all hope , for our HOPE is IN THE LORD . And peace and joy abounds and shall abound in the heart for our HOPE IS in THE LORD .

OH let it sink n real deep , cutting clear through even the marrow and into the Spirit , that the lambs got all HOPE for their HOPE IS , IS THE LORD . What else matters , Nothing . For they whose hope IS the LORD , Got all HOPE . For their hope is THE LORD . casting all affections above on Him , as being outcasts in a world , YET they seek a city whose builder and maker is GOD . Whose temple IS GOD and the LAMB . THAT CITY cannot BE SHAKEN . Those who are of it , thus will not be shaken . Hands up and praise the LORD . For their simply is no hope , LEST that HOPE BE THE LORD and IN THE LORD onward the saints shall march . I don't even need to ask what time it is , THROW THEM UP and PRAISE THE LORD . OH YES , LET all praise the LORD .

See if you can spot the pattern!
And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. — Genesis 4:3-5
And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. — Genesis 4:8
...
And Isaac entreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the Lord. And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. — Genesis 25:21-23
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. — Genesis 27:41
...
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours. And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him. — Genesis 37:3-4
Reuben, the oldest, lost his birthright for sleeping with Bilhah. Simeon, next in line, lost it for the massacre on account of Dinah. Levi, third in line, was the tribe that inherited the Judaic priesthood, and Judah, fourth in line, was the tribe that brought Jesus.
Fun fact: Dan was the first son to Jacob born of a slave. His tribe introduced idolatry to the nation of Israel. This tribe ultimately vanished.
...
And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. — Genesis 48:18-19

Look what happened later!
And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth–lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons. — 1 Samuel 16:1
And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. — 1 Samuel 19:1

What can all of this mean? Perhaps it means this...
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. — 1 Corinthians 15:45-47
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. — Romans 5:14

And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. — Matthew 21:34-39

All of the examples you gave seem to be about jealousy and power struggles, fights over who will be over who.

What did the parable of the vineyard describe? Jealousy and power struggles.

The vineyard workers killed the son in an effort to take his inheritance. Starting with Abraham, four generations in a row saw the elder jealous of the younger.

And look at how many church systems have done this very thing . Come let us kill the son , omit his sayings and we shall bear rule over the people . THEY crucify the Son again to an open shame . They do great evil and do it using JESUS name , but they desire to sit and LORD over the flocks .
