The ten virgins . While it can in a little measure be applied to the saved and unsaved ,in very truth it is in fact a message to the church . For a virgin by the very nature of things is a God given stare . In Romans Paul speaks about those under the law as ones who are likened unto thosemarried with husbands yet speaking of the churvh as presenting as " chaste virgins".
Therefore when the Lord spoke of10 virgins hevis speaking of the church among whom some are wiser and some foolish.
In every aspect but one all 10:are the saee. They all have their lamps lit . The world is in darkness .
They all are seeking or waiting for the groom . The unbeliever is indifferent to such things .
They all fell asleep . It is a matter of record of how many times people were asleep when they shouid have been awaken.
Did not the Lord say to the disciples the spirit is willing but te flesh is weak watch and pray therefore lest you fall into temptation ".Thry all heard the cry ." The bridegroom comes!" Thry all woke up thr6 all trimmed thrur lamps . Here comes the division . The5 wise has their vessels full the 5 foolish did not .
Nor couid the wise give them any but told them to go and buy some .
Wile they were gone the 5 wise entered into thec" marriage" When the 5 foolish came back and knocked ,te voice said " I know you not " meaning they were unrecognisable as the Bride ad they were barred from the ( note) marriage. On the day of judgement to some will be said " I never knew you" and will be barred from the kingdom .
To be BORN again is great but it is not an automatic entrance to the marriage that is to all true born children of God our " high calling" and we all need to be filled with the Spirit and continually so and awake and alert and praying that we might be found ready . Abraham ( the Father) sent his servant the Holy Spirit ) to seek outa bride for the Son of promise . Not out in the world but specifically " among his brethren "
