Christians, lets discuss the parable of the ten virgins!

They are not the bride (the Church) they are tribulation converts who hear the shout of the groom (Christ at the rapture)and have to struggle for their salvation to the point of death. Some will have enough oil (faith) to suffer death and be saved. Others will not have enough oil and will take the mark of the Beast.

Interesting interpretation. But they are told to go to buy oil for themselves...how can one buy faith?

the bride is the nation of Israel!

god is her husband

Revelation 3:18
Gives us the answer.

Jesus is talking to the latter-day Lukewarm church - the Laodiceans which correlate with those "Christians in name only "who Are left behind because they aren't truly saved, hence, don't have the Holy Spirit.

These are the foolish virgins who aren't truly saved... They're just "going thru the motions" so to speak.

He tells them to buy it from him by being tested in the tribulation.

Rev.3:18-19

"I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich, and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness does not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, That thou may see.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore,and repent."

This is the oil the virgins must have.

AC 737 - Maybe you can answer this question that I've been wondering about lately-

I can't remember the reference but somewhere it says that " that day will not over take us like a thief because we are in the light."

It seems to say that only those who are watching for and expecting the rapture and who aren't caught off guard will be taken.

I hope I'm wrong and that's not what it means.

What are your thoughts on this?

Matthew Henry: The wise answered, Not so;
Note, 1. Those that would be saved, must have grace of their own. Though we have benefit by the communion of saints, and the faith and prayers of others may now redound to our advantage, yet our own sanctification is indispensably necessary to our own salvation. The just shall live by his faith. Every man shall give account of himself, and therefore let every man prove his own work; for he cannot get another to muster for him in that day.

The LORD tells us to look up for our redemption draws near. 5 were ready, had their oil in their lamps (light), and 5 didn't, (Where is the promise of HIS coming?). Be ready and stay in the light.

the rapture is the elite plan of entering the bunkers.

Yeah, It talks about their "bunkers" here:

"And the kings of the earth and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bond man, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb(Jesus);

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"

Rev. 6:15-17
