At
that time the Kingdom of Heaven will be like Ten Virgins
Who
took their Lamps
And
went out top meet the Bridegroom (Christ Jesus).
Five
of them were foolish and Five were Wise.
The
Foolish ones took their Lamps
But
did not take any Oil (a type of the Holy Spirit) with them.
The
Wise, however, took Oil in Jars along with their Lamps.
The
Bridegroom was a long time in coming,
And
they All became Drowsy and Fell Asleep.
At
Midnight the Cry Rang Out:
'Here's
the Bridegroom!
Come
out to meet Him!'
Then
all the Virgins woke up
And
Trimmed their Lamps.
The
Foolish ones said to the Wise,
'Give
us some of your Oil;
Our
Lamps are going out.'
'No,'
they replied,
'There
may not be enough for both us and you.
Instead,
go to those who Sell Oil
And
buy some for yourselves.'
But
while they were on their way to by the Oil,
The
Bridegroom arrived.
The
Virgins who were ready went in with Him
to the
Wedding Banquet.
AND
THE DOOR WAS SHUT.
Later
the others also came.
'Sir!
Sir!' they said,
OPEN
THE DOOR FOR US!'
But He
replied,
'I
tell you the Truth,
I
DON'T KNOW YOU.'
THEREFORE
KEEP WATCH,
BECAUSE
YOU DO NOT KNOW THE DAY OR THE HOUR
(Matthew
25:1-13).
Christ
Jesus is coming for a Bride
That
is Full of the Oil of the Holy Spirit.
He
Knows no other.
He is
coming at a time when no one expects Him.
Only
those who Keep Watch
And
have enough Oil of the Holy Spirit--
Only
those He Knows,
Will
be able to receive Him.
TO THE
OTHERS THE DOOR WILL BE SHUT.
