To Israel? Luke 19:11-27 records the Parable of the Ten Pounds. The "man" is Christ Jesus, the far country "heaven", the departure is Jesus' "ascension", the return His "Second Coming". It's Jewish and records what will happen when Jesus Christ having recieved The Kingdom, returns to earth and rewards His servants by giving them authority over different cities.

You might want to look at that again. I think you will find that His original home was Heaven, and the far country was Earth. And those "rewards" were given and/or removed from disciples when they finished their lives on Earth and joined Him in His original "home."
