Parable Of The Ten Virgins

PART 1: PARABLE OF THE TEN VIRGINS ~ MATTHEW 25:1-13

1 At that time, the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 "At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!' 7 "Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.' 9 "'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.' 10 "But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. 11 "Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!' 12 "But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.' 13 "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. ~ Amos 3:7

c. Come out to meet Him - Jesus is telling everyone to call on His name in repentance. We must then change our ways, becoming new in Christ by walking in His very footsteps, continually separating ourselves from the world.

Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began. ~ Acts 3:19-22 The Lord lives, and forgives those who call on His name with all humility and supplication. Come to Me, and repent. ~ Jesus speaking [

[Bitter Sweet]

The Bridegroom is coming and His return is very close. I have been sent out ahead of Him, with a multitude of others who hear His voice. We go out to prepare His Bride so she shall be fit for the King. I must make a straight path for the Lord to follow and announce His coming! John went out baptizing with water, unto repentance, in preparation of the One coming after Him, whose sandals John was not worthy to loose. The One coming is coming again and so I, together with all those who would be His Trumpet Call, are going out baptizing with Spirit and Truth, according to that Spirit and Truth given us, so all, who have ears to hear, might be spared from the Day of Troubles that is coming upon the whole world. Correction and guidance, through testimony and proclamation, must be given. ~ Timothy

A shoe that cannot be untied is like a door shut that no one can open, sealed.

It becomes more evident every day, there are only 2 main seals that the bible speaks of, both are strong bonds that no one can untie or open. We are all being bound with our words.

Please expound from the word about that.

That is very true Bitter Sweet! Nothing will be hidden, every "heart" is a record book, every word and thought is recorded!

Malachi 3:15-18
15.  And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt 'Elohiym are even delivered!
16.  Then they that feared YHWH spake often one to another: and YHWH hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared YHWH, and that thought upon his name.
17.  And they shall be mine, saith YHWH Tsabaoth, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18.  Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth 'Elohiym and him that serveth him not.

Matthew 10:25-28 KJV
25.  It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
26.  Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27.  What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
28.  And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Words will haunt some people. God has his angels stationed at all corners, if I get banned, at least I know that his eyes here will still be recording. It is seared in our minds and hearts through what we bear witness to.

God Bless daq and skillet and anyone else that believes they know who sent him with more of that of which has been given to him. Matthew 13:11-12

Nice misuse of Scripture.

2 Timothy 2
15 Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth.


It is SOOOOO important to know the Scriptures and the God who breathed them before ever thinking that there is something more out there, or something else.


His word is enough for us. Anything else is from another source. In fact our God is known as THE GOD-OF-MORE-THAN-ENOUGH.
