We (Believers) Are The Wise Virgins

Matthew 25:1-13

And Jesus Answered, And Said TO Them: “THEN, The Kingdom Of Heaven, Shall Be Likened, TO Ten (10) Virgins, Who Took Their Lamps And Went Out, TO Meet The Bridegroom. Now, Five Of Them Were Wise, And Five WERE Foolish! Those, Who WERE Foolish, Took Their Lamps And Took NO Oil WITH Them; BUT, The Wise, Took Oil, IN Their Vessels, WITH Their Lamps! BUT, While The Bridegroom Was Delayed, They All Slumbered And Slept!”

“And At Midnight, A Cry Was HEARD: ‘Behold, The Bridegroom IS Coming; Go Out TO Meet Him!’ THEN, All Those Virgins Arose And Trimmed Their Lamps! And The Foolish Said, TO The Wise, ‘Give Us SOME Of Your Oil, For Our Lamps Are Going Out!’ BUT, The Wise Answered, Saying, ‘NO, Lest There Should NOT Be Enough, For Us And YOU; BUT, Go Rather, TO Those Who Sell, And Buy For Yourselves!’ And While They Went TO Buy, The Bridegroom Came, And Those, Who Were Ready, Went IN, WITH Him, TO The Wedding; And The Door Was Shut!”

“Afterward, The Other Virgins, Came Also, Saying, ‘Lord, Lord, Open TO Us!’ BUT, He Answered, And Said, ‘Assuredly, I Say To YOU, I Do NOT Know YOU!’”

“Watch Therefore, For YOU Know, Neither The Day Nor The Hour, IN Which, The Son Of Man IS Coming!”

Now, Let’s Look AT This Again:

“THEN, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, Shall Be Likened, TO Ten (10) Virgins, Who Took Their Lamps And Went Out, TO Meet THE BRIDEGROOM (Jesus Christ). Now, Five Of Them, Were WISE (Believers); And Five WERE Foolish (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers)!”

“Those, Who WERE Foolish, Took Their Lamps And Took NO Oil, WITH Them (They Did NOT Have The Holy Spirit); BUT, The Wise, Took Oil, IN Their Vessels, WITH Their Lamps (The Holy Spirit ABIDES WITHIN Them)!”

“BUT, While THE BRIDEGROOM (Jesus Christ), Was Delayed, They All, Slumbered And Slept!”

“And At Midnight, A Cry Was HEARD: ‘BEHOLD, THE BRIDEGROOM (Jesus Christ) IS COMING (The Being Caught Up Together); GO OUT TO MEET HIM!’”

“THEN, All Those Virgins, Arose And Trimmed Their Lamps! And The Foolish (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Said, TO The Wise (Believers), ‘Give Us SOME Of Your Oil, For Our Lamps Are Going Out!’ BUT, The Wise (Believers) Answered, Saying, ‘NO, Lest There Should NOT Be Enough, For Us And YOU; BUT, Go Rather, TO Those (Believers) Who Sell (Who Share The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), And Buy For Yourselves (Accept GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT OF SALVATION)!’”

“And While They Went TO Buy, THE BRIDEGROOM (Jesus Christ) CAME (AT The Being Caught Up Together), And Those (Believers), Who Were Ready, WENT IN, WITH HIM (Jesus Christ), TO THE WEDDING (INTO Heaven); AND THE DOOR, WAS SHUT!”

“AFTERWARD, The Other Virgins (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), Came Also, Saying, ‘LORD, LORD, Open TO Us!’ BUT, HE (Jesus Christ) Answered, And Said, ‘ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU, I DO NOT KNOW YOU!’”

WATCH Therefore, For YOU Know, NEITHER THE DAY NOR THE HOUR, IN Which, THE SON OF MAN IS COMING (AT The Being Caught Up Together)!”

Fellow Believers, IN This Parable, There ARE Ten (10) Virgins; Five WERE Wise, And Were SAVED; While, Five WERE Foolish, And Were SHUT OUT!

Obviously, The Five Wise (Saved) Virgins Represent Us, Believers. We Have Acknowledged GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving GRACE AND We Have Accepted GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT OF SALVATION, WHICH COMES ONLY, THROUGH Jesus Christ (The Son OF Man); Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit TEACHES Us, AND Most Importantly, GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us, Always.

While, The Five Foolish Virgins Represent, FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers.

FALSE Teachers And FALSE Believers, Are “Believers” IN Name, ONLY; Meaning, Those Who “Pretend” TO Have Accepted GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT OF SALVATION, OR Those Who “Think” That They Have Accepted GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT OF SALVATION, BUT IN Reality, Neither Have; Hence The Statement, “LORD, LORD, Open TO Us.”

While, Unbelievers Are Those, Who Either, Outright REJECTED, GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT OF SALVATION, OR Those, Who FAILED TO Accept, GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT OF SALVATION.

HINT: YOU WANT TO BE, ONE OF THE WISE VIRGINS (Believers)!

1 Corinthians 15:50-53

NOW THIS, I SAY, Brethren (Fellow Believers), That Flesh And Blood (The Natural Body) Can NOT INHERIT, THE KINGDOM OF GOD (GOD Almighty); NOR Does Corruption (The Natural Body), INHERIT INCORRUPTION (The Kingdom Of GOD Almighty)!

Behold, I Tell YOU (Fellow Believers), A Mystery (Something Once Known, But Now, Forgotten):

We (Pre-Tribulation Believers) Shall NOT All Sleep (Die A Physical Death Of The Natural Body); BUT We Shall ALL, BE CHANGED (An Instantaneous Supernatural CHANGE, INTO Our Spiritual Bodies), IN A Moment, IN The Twinkling Of An Eye (One Millisecond), AT THE LAST TRUMPET!

FOR THE TRUMPET (The Trumpet Of GOD Almighty) WILL SOUND, AND THE DEAD (Pre-Tribulation Dead Believers), WILL BE RAISED (ALIVE), INCORRUPTIBLE (IN Their Spiritual Bodies); AND WE (Pre-Tribulation LIVING Believers), SHALL BE CHANGED (An Instantaneous Supernatural CHANGE, INTO Our Spiritual Bodies)!

FOR THIS Corruptible (The Natural Body), MUST Put On, INCORRUPTION (The Spiritual Body); AND THIS Mortal (The Natural Body), MUST Put On, IMMORTALITY (The Spiritual Body)!

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17

FOR THIS, We Say To YOU (Fellow Believers), BY THE WORD OF THE LORD (The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), That We (Pre-Tribulation LIVING Believers), Who Are Alive AND Remain, UNTIL THE COMING OF THE LORD (Jesus Christ, AT The Being Caught Up Together), Will By NO Means, Precede Those (Pre-Tribulation Dead Believers), Who Are Asleep!

FOR THE LORD (Jesus Christ), Himself, Will DESCEND, From Heaven, WITH A Shout, WITH The Voice Of An Archangel, AND WITH The Trumpet Of GOD!

AND The Dead IN Christ (Pre-Tribulation Dead Believers), Will Rise (IN Their Spiritual Bodies), First!

THEN, We (Pre-Tribulation LIVING Believers), Who Are Alive AND Remain, Shall Be (Instantaneously, Supernaturally CHANGED, INTO Our Spiritual Bodies, AND THEN) CAUGHT UP TOGETHER, WITH Them (Pre-Tribulation Dead Believers), IN THE CLOUDS, TO MEET THE LORD (Jesus Christ), IN THE AIR (Far Above The Earth)!

Hebrews 13:12-14

Therefore, Jesus also, That HE Might SANCTIFY The People (Believers), WITH HIS OWN BLOOD, Suffered Outside The Gate (Of Jerusalem)!

Therefore, Let Us (Believers), GO FORTH, TO HIM (Jesus Christ), Outside The Camp (INTO Heaven), BEARING HIS REPROACH (AT The Being Caught Up Together)! FOR HERE (IN Satan’s World), We (Believers) Have NO Continuing City; BUT, We (Believers) Seek, THE ONE TO COME (The Heavenly Jerusalem)!

Hebrews 12:22-24

BUT YOU (Pre-Tribulation Dead Believers AND Pre-Tribulation LIVING Believers) HAVE COME, TO MOUNT ZION (Heaven), AND TO THE CITY OF THE LIVING GOD, THE HEAVENLY JERUSALEM, TO An Innumerable Company Of Angels (GOD Almighty's Holy Angels), TO The General Assembly, AND Church Of The Firstborn, Who Are Registered, IN Heaven (IN The Lamb's Book Of Everlasting Life), TO GOD (GOD Almighty), THE JUDGE OF ALL (Mankind), TO The Spirits Of Just Men (Fellow Believers), MADE PERFECT (By The Blood Of Jesus Christ), TO Jesus, The Mediator Of The New Covenant, AND TO The Blood Of Sprinkling (Jesus Christ's Own Blood, The New Covenant), That SPEAKS BETTER THINGS, Than That Of Abel (The Old Covenant)!

AGAIN: YOU WANT TO BE, ONE OF THE WISE VIRGINS (Believers)! AMEN!
