Jewish Wedding Parallels the Rapture

[sheep wrecked]

Thanx for the explanation, Rose It's where I am at as well.

I thot it would be interesting to show how some in Hebrew Roots and the charismatic movement see this parable

Hebrew Roots:
The five wise virgins refer to those that keep Torah/the Mosaic Law. The foolish virgins do not and therefore, when the bridegroom comes, they are told that He does not know them. In other words, He is coming only for a Torah observant bride.

The oil represents the knowledge and observance of Torah which fills the lamp.

Charis/pentecostal/word of faith:

The oil is the Holy Spirit and only those who are continually filled with the Holy Spirit have their lamps filled. This is seen by the ability to speak in tongues [which proves they have the Holy Spirit] and the amount of faith/spirituality they have by the manifestations they get [laughing, prophesying, jerking, getting slain in the spirit, feeling heat, getting hot oil poured over them (feel heat in arms, hands, head, legs, feet, etc)]and other such nonsense.
