The parable of the ten virgins of Matthew 25 talks about the two categories of Christian believers in the church-body today. One that’s dilatory and lukewarm,(as evident in her having a lamp that’s gone out of oil), and one that’s on fire for God, having her lamp constantly burning.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]MATTHEW 25:1-13[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1 ¶ Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
3 They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord,Lord, open to us.
12 But He answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Take note that in the preceding Scriptures, there was a “cry” made in the evening time shouting, “Behold, the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet Him”. A “cry” symbolizes a calling out from a deep slumber or sleep. The people had been sleeping in man-made denominations, and God calls them out. A ‘cry” is a “shout” or a “Message” to call out the Bride from amongst the seven church ages. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"OIL" SYMBOLIZES THE "BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]“Oil” in the Scriptures symbolizes the “Baptism of the Holy Spirit”. The Bride of Christ needs "OIL” desperately today in order for her to walk in the Light, as "He is in the Light". Those virgins with “oil” in their lamps were able to make it to the rapture. While those virgins without the ‘oil” were left behind in the Tribulation Period, wailing, weeping and gnashing their teeth.
While the foolish virgins were away trying to find the "Baptism of the Holy Ghost" in their lives, Christ and the true Bride goes away for the "honeymoon" in heaven. She will be taken off the scene for three and a half years while this earth undergoes purging through the Tribulation Period.
Today is the most critical hour wherein all the foolish virgins are looking for "oil". The foolish virgins are those Christians that still belong to the denominations and who are trying their best to be able to speak in tongues, shout and dance in the Spirit, and get into a spiritual revival. And while they are into that situation today, they didn't know that the wise virgins have already possessed the "OIL" that's required for the rapture. This "OIL" they have received through the "shout" - the End Time Message which gave them a clear understanding of the hidden mysteries of God, which in turn, gives them "rapturing faith" which is the true Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Once the rapture takes place, the foolish virgins will realize that they were left behind because the Tribulation Period had begun to set in. Caught between choosing whether to receive the "Mark of the Beast" or to die for their faith, the foolish virgins will give their lives in martyrdom and leave their denominations for all denominations will be controlled by the Beast (Rome) and the Image of the Beast (WCC). They will choose to die rather than be damned by the Antichrist system.
so whats your take on the parable of the five wise and five foolish virgins?[/FONT]
