PARABLE OF THE TEN VIRGINS
Matthew 25: 1
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened
unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and
went forth to meet the bridegroom.
The ten virgins represent Christians, their lamps
represent the Word of God.
The bridegroom is Christ.
Mt.25: 2
And five of them were wise, and five were
foolish.
25: 3
They that were foolish took their lamps,
and took no oil with them:
25: 4
But the wise took oil in their vessels with
their lamps.
Ps.119:105, Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.
The oil represents an understanding of the scriptures
given by the Spirit
of Prophecy. The wise virgins who have the vessels
containing the extra
oil, represent those who have been given the Little Help
in Dan.11:34.
The Little Help is the Little Scroll that the Remaining
Bride is given in
Rev.10:8-10; 12:6,14.
Mt.25: 5
While the bridegroom tarried, they all
slumbered and slept.
25: 6
And at midnight there was a cry made,
Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye
out to meet him.
25: 7
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed
their lamps.
Christs return was delayed, at MIDNIGHT a signal
of his arrival is heard.
All Christians trim their lamps (Bibles). It is a
dark hour, therefore the
prophecies must be understood, otherwise you will not
know what is
going on, or where you must go.
Mt.25: 8
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us
of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
The foolish virgins say to the wise, Give us of
your oil meaning, that the
foolish virgins will not be able to recognize the signs
of Christs return to
the earth. Their lamps (Bibles) have used up the
little oil (Truth) they had.
The only Truth they possess, is that Christ was coming
again for his people
(Bride), however, they neglected the Seven Seals
Truth (oil).
Mt.25: 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.
The wise Christians acquired the extra Truth (oil;
Hidden Manna; Little
Help), that the foolish neglected to acquire. The
Seven Seals of Revelation,
is the extra oil.
Rev.3:18, I counsel thee to buy of me
gold tried in the fire
.
Prov.23:23, Buy the truth, and sell
it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and
understanding.
Is.55:1, Ho, every one that
thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath
no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and
milk without
money and without price.
Mt.25:10
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.
If you acquire the extra oil of the Seven Seals, you
will be prepared for the
return of the bridegroom at the Sixth Seal.
Hos.4:6, My people are destroyed for
lack of knowledge: because thou hast
rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee
.(To
reject Present Truth, is to
sin against the Holy Spirit).
Jn.16:12, I have yet many things to
say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
(Christ did not reveal all the future prophecies to
his Apostles during his
earthly ministry. Christ realized that his Apostles could
not bear the
Revelation that pertained unto Christs spirit
manifested again in the
latter days, see Rev.12:5.)
Jn.16:13, Howbeit when he, the Spirit
of truth, is come, he will guide you into
all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall hear, that
shall he speak: and he will shew you THINGS TO COME. (When
the spirit
comes to reveal the THINGS TO COME; being the Revelation
of the
Seven Seals, then shall the mysteries be understood which
are contained
in scripture. The Father, the Spirit, and Christ are one
of the same.
Therefore the Spirit will speak as Christ.)
1Cor.13:12, For now we see through a
glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I
am known. (The
Apostle Paul was saying he did not fully understand the
writings of the
Prophets. Paul was hoping to be around when the Spirit of
Truth would
reveal the mysteries to him face to face.)
1Pet.1:13, Wherefore gird up the
loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the
end for the grace that IS to be brought unto you at the
REVELATION OF
JESUS CHRIST. (Peter was saying that there was still
going to be a
revealing of Christ in the future. All the believers were
to look for this
manifestation of Christ.)
The ten virgins in the latter days are the professed
followers of Christ:
Christendom; those in whom the people look to for
spiritual guidance
pertaining to the things of Gods Word. All ten
virgins have lamps, the
lamps symbolize Gods written Word, and the lamps
that are burning
brightly, represent the understanding of the prophecies
that are contained
in the written Word (lamp, see Ps.119:105).
The Bride represents those who receive the Revelation
from the latter day
Lamb (Man-child of Rev.12:5); just as the Apostles
received the words of
life from Christ of 2,000 years ago, making them wise
unto salvation. In the
parable of the ten virgins, all the virgins are waiting
to meet their husband
(Christ), they all have the knowledge of
Christs return, yet only five are
wise and five were foolish.
The foolish represents those who have some knowledge (some
oil) of
Christ, yet they did not have any extra oil (extra
knowledge) pertaining
to the prophecies of the latter day Lamb, else they would
have realized
that there was to be a delay in Christs return
according to prophecy,
which they neglected and refused to receive.
In Mt.25:4, the wise take extra oil in their
vessels, as the wise virgins know
there is going to be a delay of the bridegrooms
return, hence they have the
extra vessel of oil (knowledge), which the foolish
virgins neglected to bring
with them. While all the virgins are waiting for the
bridegroom in Mt.25:5,
they all slept, as the bridegroom was delayed according
to the written Word
of prophecy.
To be wise is to understand the mystery of the Seven
Seals and the prophecies
that are contained in Daniel and Revelation regarding the
latter day Lamb and
the Chosen Vessel. The Word itself declares that only the
wise shall understand
the things which are contained in prophecy, see
Dan.12:10. Those who do not
understand what the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation
mean, in regards to
the Lamb and the Chosen Vessel, are shown to be of the
wicked.
Without the knowledge of the Seven Seals Revelation (which
is given from
theLamb and then from the Chosen Vessel), the
leadership of Christendom
are as the five foolish virgins having only the knowledge
of the Christ of 2,000
years ago; and are without the extra knowledge of the
latter day Lamb and the
Chosen Vessel who are mentioned in the book of Daniel,
Revelation, and in
all the writings of the Prophets.
The knowledge of the Christ of 2,000 years ago without
the knowledge of
the latter day Lambs Seven Seals Scroll, means that
many are waiting for
Christs return just as the five foolish virgins
were; and just as the five foolish
virgins they lack the extra oil (light; Truth)
that is needed to understand the
prophecies which relate unto the plan of salvation in the
latter days. Those
who have the knowledge of the Seven Seals Revelation of
the Lamb and the
Chosen Vessel will understand all prophecies, therefore
they are ready to
enter into the marriage of the Lamb.
