When the Bible talks about the dead in Christ will rise first what's being said is that those people who have crucified the flesh. In short they have made themselves dead to the world and alive to Christ. The virgins who didn"t put oil in their lamps - this is a direct reference to the light of God"s word which comes via the Holy Spirit. The 5 virgins had no light so they walked in darkness.
The dead in Christ shall rise first. They are already risen. If you are saved and die, you go straight to Heaven. At the end of days, we that are alive will be caught up together with them and Christ.
