Ten Virgins

Biblical Analysis Matthew Chapter 25-verses 1-12 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto 10 virgins which took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were wise and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps-but with no oil in them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps! While the bridegroom tarried they all slumbered and slept! Then at midnight the cry was made-behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet Him! So the ten virgins all arose and trimmed their lamps, and the foolish said to the wise, give us some of your oil for our lamps are gone out, but the wise said to them-NO WAY, for there is not enough for all of us! But go ye rather to them that sell and buy yourselves, and when they were gone to buy oil for their lampsthe bridegroom came and they that were ready went in with Him to the marriage and the door was shut (Notice that when Christ returns for His people-judgment is complete and the door of mercy and grace is closed for all humanity)! Afterward came the other virgins saying, Lord, Lord open the door for us? He thus answered and said verily I say unto you, I know you not! Watch therefore for you know not the day and the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh! The parable of the 10 virgins explains the place of Israels true converts of the great tribulation period in revelation to the church of today! The lamps refer to their spiritual condition in which they are either prepared or unprepared! The oil refers to the anointing of the Holy Spirit which enables every believer to reflect the eternal light of Christ into a deceived, evil, and darkened world! That is why if we are to be found among the wise, then we must watch and pray always, for we know not when our Lord may come! Furthermore, this is likened to the end of the

Ten Virgins Crisis-Church, or the church of Laodicea, in which the Messiah spoke of this period in church history as a bunch of spoiled rotten spiritual depraved luxury seeking infidels-who are not cold or hot, but are riding the gap Christians! Thus, because they are lukewarm-the master of the universe said He would spew those lazy professing Christian-folk out of His Mouth!
