This verse means that in the end, our heart attitude is more important than length of service. It shows that God will distribute his Kingdom rewards as he deems fit. I believe the last first; first last principle is in reference to our humility and willingness to obey the leading of the Holy Spirit regardless of when we get started. Those workers who'd toiled in the scorching heat all day were offended when they received the same pay as the workers who'd only worked one hour. They grumbled against God. NOT COOL. I believe his is prophetic and means that those who are "least" in the Kingdom (the faithful unknowns), will be raptured first, pre-tribulation, and crowned as the Bride, and those who believed they were "greatest" in the Kingdom will go through 3.5 years of Hot Summer Sun aka the Tribulation. If they remain faithful overcomers and keep God's word, they will be raptured Mid-trib. Rev. 12:5, Rev. 2:26:27.
