PARABLE 13 OF 22
The Ten Virgins
Mattityahu 25:1–13
PARABLE · TO THE DISCIPLES
Five wise virgins bring extra oil for their lamps; five foolish do not, and miss the bridegroom when He comes at midnight.
The bridegroom is Yeshua. The wait is the age between His ascension and His return. Oil cannot be borrowed at the last minute — what you carry into the night is what you'll have. Watchfulness is not anxiety; it is keeping your lamp full now, before the cry comes.
