A Parable And A Warning

"Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 

They that were foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

And at midnight there was a shout, Behold, the bridegroom has come; go out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

And the foolish said to the wise, Give us some oil; our lamps have gone out. But the wise answered and said, I cannot; unless there will be not enough for us and you: but instead go to those that sell, and buy for yourselves.

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

Afterward came the foolish virgins, saying, Master, Master, open the door to us. But he responded saying, Surely I confess, I don’t know you.

Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day or the hour when the Son of man will return." Matthew 25:1-13

The foolish virgins are the lukewarm that believe the religious antinomian lies that have been taught such as an easy believism faith in Yeshua as the way to salvation—and they have believed many other religious lies such as the rapture doctrine. When things begin to happen and there is no rapture they will begin to become afraid and seek for the answers as to what is happening.

But these foolish were never willing to seek the truth in the time when the spirit was poured out and the revelations were being given. This is because they loved their life and took pleasure in the cares of the world and the comfortable passive lies of religion. In that time they will seek for the truth but will not understand it because they had no foundation in it.

The wise however, did not sell out to the religious lies, and because they trusted in the word of YHVH alone for instruction; they were given understanding and made the preparations and were lead to places of safety before the storms came.

The foolish virgins that are yoked with religion will go to the hirelings that are selling the lies to the masses and they will believe it—and eventually this will lead to taking the mark of the beast.

When Yeshua comes He will send fourth His angels to gather the righteous out from among the wicked. The door being shut in the parable is representative of the mark of the righteous and their redemption that will take place before the judgments are poured out.

Just as Revelation says, let he that is righteous remain righteous and let he that is lawless remain lawless. Because in the time of judgment there will be no time left for repentance. The question will not be why the foolish weren’t invited in, but it will be as though they will be seen as strangers and imposters. This is why the bride groom will say, “depart from me I don’t know you lawless people.” Compare this warning with another warning Yeshua gave to the lukewarm that profess Him but don’t obey.

"Many will say to me in that day, Master, Master, have we not prophesied in your name and in your name have cast out demons? and in your name we have done many miracles? And then will I tell them plainly, I never knew you: depart from me, you lawless people." Matthew 7:22-23:
