what will he do unto those husbandmen?

Those who reject God will be rejected by God. In this parable, which is a story intended to make a spiritual point, Jesus addressed himself to false religious leaders. This parable does not negate God's covenant with the Israelite people. In the last days, Israel will be saved. Check out Romans 11.

Here’s Luke’s version. Jesus is not addressing generic “false religious leaders”. The parable is not applicable to Muslims or Hindus.

But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others.

God’s covenant with the Israelite people is fulfilled in Jesus. There’s no other savior upon whom they can call.

Esau was reconciled to Jacob, but only by way of accepting the gifts Jacob offered.

I’ve always wondered why all the debate about Israel etc. Without Christ no one is saved. Not the Jews in the 1st century after Christ’s resurrection... and not those 21 centuries later. Why would we believe any different about the end times? Christ preached to Jews. To the people of Israel and he told them all that without accepting the Son of Man, they were lost. Already lost.
