^ I think I may have that book title/hard copy (I did mention before, that my book collection spans the entire gamut of viewpoints [by the ton! lol])… and if I'm recalling correctly (plz correct me if I'm mistaken here), does he suggest that the "10 [or even the 5] Virgins [PLURAL]" are who Jesus is supposed to be coming to MARRY??
(I've mentioned numerous times, here on CC, that I wholly disagree with that "take" on things; they [these PLURAL virgins] are who will "G3326 - meta - ACCOMPANY" Him into "the wedding FEAST/SUPPER" [the earthly MK commencing upon His "RETURN" to the earth; NOT "the MARRIAGE" itself! (G4862 instead!)]--these [PLURAL] virgins never lift off the earth!)

Here is what it says;
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.
Look at that ingredient;
"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."
He ties it to the rapture.
Vivid picture of the bride/groom/rapture/ with the carnal church left behind.
Then you must dismiss the references to the supper in heaven
