There is a debate as to whether the "lamps" are actually torches. If they were lamps then trimming the wick of the charred portion would be part of the process.
So let's assume they are torches, the case for that is strong and clearly the "put in order" would be more appropriate for a torch than a lamp.
Now this is a society that does not have electricity, they don't have street lamps, and so families would likely have torches for when they do need to see outside at night. So then, what does "put your torch in order" or "adjust your torch" mean?
1. Strip the spent head. A rag/rope head that has already burned down is charred, brittle, and partly consumed — torch wicks were prone to fairly rapid deterioration in ancient use unless treated. The first job would be knocking or scraping off the crust of burnt material so there's a clean surface for new fuel to soak into. This is the closest thing to "trimming a wick" in the household-lamp sense, just scaled up. KnowWave Journal
This is my point, the interpretation of the ten virgins prior to the Revelation 12 sign (which I am calling the midnight cry) would be burned down, charred, brittle and deteriorated.
2. Rewrap with fresh cloth or rope. Since the old wrapping is partially gone, you don't just add oil to what's there — you'd need to bind on additional fibrous material (cloth strips, rope, hemp) to rebuild a head capable of holding fuel and burning steadily. A torch that's seen several outings has a thinner, patchier head than a new one.
None of the old expositions on this (prior to 2014) refer to the ten virgins as "ten Virgos" from 2017 to 2026. That is a new wrapping.
3. Resoak it — and this is where the oil supply matters. A dry or half-fueled head flares and dies fast. Getting it back to full burning readiness means saturating the rebuilt head thoroughly, which takes real volume of oil, not a token splash. This is likely why the wise virgins' separate oil flask matters so much: a seasoned user of these torches would know from experience that a properly serviced torch drinks a fair amount of oil, especially if it's going to need to burn for an unknown stretch of time (the bridegroom could arrive now or hours from now).
Now if you are going to expound the ten virgins as being ten Virgos from the Feast of Trumpets in 2017 to 2026 you will have to soak that with a lot of oil, various prophecies from the Bible that would support this. You can talk about the Writing on the Wall sign, you can talk about the Pandemic as prophesied in Joel, you can talk about the Psalm 83 war, you can talk about Jeremiah 49, etc. That would be from people who were awake and paying attention. If you are simply going to church and getting a daily supply of oil from your pastor you will not hear any of these things.
4. Check the housing and staff. The metal or clay cage/dish holding the fuel head accumulates soot and ash with repeated use, which can choke airflow and produce a smoky, weak flame rather than a bright one. Clearing that out would be part of "putting in order" too — not just fuel, but the mechanism that lets the fuel burn cleanly.
When you share something new like this you will get a lot of "push back", that is the ash that needs to be cleared out of the way.
5. Re-secure the binding. Cords or wire holding the wrapped head to the staff loosen with repeated burns and reuse. A quick retie would be routine maintenance any regular user would do without thinking about it.
Take a look at all these brothers and sisters who are watchmen, they have "retied" their interpretations multiple times.
