I personally am not all caught up in the "Jewish Wedding [ceremony]"... I think a lot of passages are often misapplied, in those kinds of discussions; However I do see Scripture speaking of "Bride / Wife [singular]"... the "10 Virgins [or 5; plural]" who are not the "Bride / Wife [singular]"... and "the guests [plural]" who are also not the "Bride / Wife [singular]"... I see it speaking of "the Marriage" and of "the wedding FEAST / SUPPER" which is distinct from "the Marriage" itself; and I see it speaking of, "... I betrothed you to one Husband, that I may present [G3936] you as A CHASTE VIRGIN [singular] to Christ," etc... etc...
So, in view of the things Scripture does say on such a Subject, one of the related passages states, "...and so [or, in this manner] shall [future tense] we ever be with [G4862 - UNIONed-with] the Lord" (referring to a specific, future point-in-time / event, at the point in time when we corporately [all at the same time] will be "caught up / SNATCHED / raptured [IN THE AIR]"... not speaking to a "past" issue)

You keep saying " no, because he is only Rapturing one virgin in."
Well lets put that notion to rest
1) the church, billions of people are the bride. Not 5 people, not 1, but Billions.
By saying the parable is not the church, due to a missing Exact NUMBER OF "1" (virgin), then you have actually debunked your interpretation as well.!!!
Because in insisting that the only number possible to make it to church is just one virgin, when at the same time you are insisting these are 5 "bridesmaids" ,and, just friends of the Bride....?
Well, you are completely unaware that you were saying in that same model you're presenting that there are only five bridesmaids, or ,five Friends of the Bride (remember, your model is strict and based on sticking to the number presented, not what is the actual message of the PARABLE is.).
So what you've actually done is tortured the parable into making it what you need it to be.
IOW ,you claim ,it cannot possibly be the church taken into the marriage chamber, when that is what is actually VIVIDLY illustrated.
It is a PARABLE. which of itself, can easily be misread, if the FACTS OF THE PARABLE are omitted, added to, or reframed.
You go on to say " when the groom has returned from the wedding...."
And interpret that as the second coming.
Well ,at the rapture, the groom returns FROM THE WEDDING IN HEAVEN to fetch his bride.
He returns back to the wedding he has left, WITH HIS BRIDE.
So there is very little there for you to take your position.
To further complicate things, you are saying the bride and groom go into an immediate war after the marriage in heaven.
That is something you never factored in.
The Jewish newlywed was forbidden from war for an extended period of time.
So many things are against that model you insist on.
But it is bizarre how you try to make the bride of christ into a single person ( you say " it says virgin singular, not virgins , plural")
That would be as if i could never depict the truth.
I could never say in the company of other believers " hey, we are virgins before the Lord".
"Nope, only one virgin" would be your only response
Note Jesus addressing the bride;
33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?
34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
Are they virgins? Yes
Are they friends? Yes
Are they children of the bridechamber? Yes
Will they be at the marriage in heaven drinking wine? Yes
Did Jesus tell them that at the last supper. Yes
ARE THEY ONE VIRGIN, though many?.... YES.!!!!
