Don't beat yourself up popeye. Just being able to admit a slip up is a sign of righteousness by The Holy Spirit. The Spirit convicts us if... we listen to Him. You did.
About the five foolish virgins...
All ten virgins represent believers on our Lord Jesus. Just the fact that the five foolish did have Oil, but only in their lamps, and were among the five wise ones, reveals all were waiting in the 11th hour, for the Bridegroom came at midnight. The 11th hour in Christ's parable of the laborers of the field represents the tribulation timing. And He and His Apostles gave us metaphors to remain sober and not spiritually asleep (1 Thess.5), meaning do not be deceived in that final 11th hour just prior to His coming at midnight.
The five foolish virgins are the not only example of those whom Jesus closes the door upon:
Matt 7:21-23
21 Not every one that saith unto me, "Lord, Lord", shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father Which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? and in Thy name have cast out devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works?"
23 And then will I profess unto them, "I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity."
KJV
Those definitely are about believers on Him, not the unbelieving.
So HOW did they fall to do iniquity while they said they preached Him, prophesied in His Name, cast out devils in His Name, and did many wonderful works in His Name???
I know you guys get tired of me bringing up the subject of the coming pseudo-Christ during the time of "great tribulation", but that's what that 11th hour timing is about. Remember Jesus said that false one would, if it were possible, deceive even His very elect by the great signs and wonders that coming false messiah will do on earth (Matt.24:23-26).
Many brethren are being prepared today to bow in worship to that coming pseudo-Christ by mistake, which is why Apostle Paul called it the "strong delusion" in 2 Thess.2. That is what the great falling away will be about during the coming tribulation. The majority of the world will believe that truly is God having returned. And for us, our deceived Christian leaders will be saying that is our Lord Jesus having returned.
That is the particular "iniquity" those five foolish virgins will be found guilty of when our Lord Jesus does come. I laid this concept out even with the "chaste virgin" concept by Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 11, Isaiah 54:1, and Luke 23, but some brethren here mocked it.
This will be the fate of the called leaders of God's people after Christ's return. This applies to both historical Israel, and to Christ's Church, for the Zadok mentioned later represent Christ's elect that will reign with Him and serve Him at His table:
Ezek 44:10-14
10 And the Levites that are gone away far from Me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from Me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
11 Yet they shall be ministers in My sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.
12 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up Mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity.
13 And they shall not come near unto Me, to do the office of a priest unto Me, nor to come near to any of My holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
14 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
KJV
These represent the Faithful of Christ's Church in that future Millennium. The name "Zadok" means The Just:
Ezek 44:15-16
15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of My sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near to Me to minister unto Me, and they shall stand before Me to offer unto Me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
16 They shall enter into My sanctuary, and they shall come near to My table, to minister unto Me, and they shall keep My charge.
KJV
(Don't be confused about mention of sacrifices in that future time. Our sacrifices now are our love for The Father and His Son, since Jesus became the Perfect Sacrifice for sin for one and all time.)
