Oil in the Lamp: The Holy Spirit: Parable of the Ten Virgins with John Gerstner

- Опубликовано: 19 фев 2019
- When Christ returns to claim His bride, it will be revealed that some of those who claim to know Him are in actuality false believers. He will find both wise virgins who have possessed faith and foolish virgins who have only professed faith.
In this study of Matthew 25:1-13, John Gerstner reminds us that there are many in the church who are not really saved. He examines the outward works that both Christians and non-Christians may produce and encourages people in the church to search their hearts for the obedience that demonstrates the reality of the faith professed.
This is the 5th in a series of messages by Dr. Gerstner on Jesus' parable of the ten virgins. See other videos in the series: • Parable of the Ten Vir...

Lord have mercy on me a sinner,
This has always been a terrifying parable. But it is a direct lesson from our Lord and Savior Jesus. with that said, we must meditate on His word, and this parable, and pray for it to apply to our lives. we can do nothing without God to intervene in our lives to do so.God Bless John Gerstner, whom is now in the presence and Glory of our Lord Jesus!
I don't WANT to prove no one wrong who is PREACHING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD. And thank you LORD FOR THE TRUTH. If you have been born again you are changed and you have the inner witness that you have passed from death unto life and you see life from a different perspective and you want to do things GODS WAY and you are sorrowful when you don't do things GODS WAY and Amen you continue in GOD'S WAY UNTIL THE END.
Yes! Emptied of myself, my ideas, other's approval and everything else that gives me identify. I had to leave it - it was all emptiness and disillusionment. It was only when I was WILLING to become emptied of my self that the Holy Spirit filled me with something that was not connected to this world. From that time, I want EVERYthing, No More - but NO Less that what my Heavenly Father wants for me. God is my PROVIDER - not man. I had to be WILLING to lay it down and Allow God to unfold my life.
The approval/acceptance of others and their opinoins of me has been a huge stronghold in my life for almost 30 years. The past 3 months I have been looking at it and confessing to God that I put too much value on this, and asking Him to help me put this away from me. Thank you, sister, for your encouraging comment. I don't feel so alone in this struggle striving to enter the narrow gate.
Glory to God for the lifes of John Gertsner and RC Sproul, whom they are now in the presence of the Lord! May the Lord bring other servants like them.

Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
Always learning from Dr Gerstner.
These is a warning. we need to examine ourselves we might be sleeping. Strive to inter .i am bless thanks .
Great. Every Christian must watch !
Thanks So good What a breath of fresh Air (Die to live)
People that believe just follow Christ and his commands.
Dear God bless Valerie touch your peoples protect them throughout the storm💞🍷
Amen, Jesus is the vine.
Thank you 🕯️ 📯 🔥
very powerful and true John, thank you.
if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead , you shall be saved .. for by grace are you saved through faith and not of yourselves it is the Gift of God , not of works .. thats how you know if your saved , is if you believe the Word of God .. true believers do good works because they are saved , and not do good works to be saved Saved is a past tense event, not a process , being born again of incorruptable seed that can not be corrupted , its haveing the the Holy Spirit = Oil .. no Oil = He Never knew them ... peace+love>
Pls explain I just saw a video by Rachel Stephens here on RUclips talking about this story in the bible & basically is saying oil = Not the Holy Spirit but more like oil = works fruits... I'm confused bc I thought it meant the holy spirit (saved)
@@kaleesiking239 the oil represents the power of the Holy Spirit , we are saved by grace through faith , not of works it is the gift of God (Eph.2;8) ... trusting in the blood of Jesus is enough to receive the gift of righteousness ... if anyone says different let them be accursed (Galatians1;8) .. peace+love>
Salvation has three tenses in the Bible.
Have been saved, are being saved ans will be saved.
@@joshuatheo1419 nope, it's saved or not saved. peace>
Great teaching!😇
Love these teachings. EXAMINE YOURSELVES
good stuff
The HOLY SPIRIT works within. The Spirit of GOD works upon. This is why scripture testifies of ... "I will pour of my Spirit 'upon' all flesh".
Grace is a gift faith is substance of things hoped for,
AMEN LORD YESHUA!
The five foolish virgins whom the Lord said, " I know you not" are not allowed to enter the wedding banquet because:
1) They never had taken on the bridegrooms name, Jesus Christ, by it being called over them during water baptism.
2) They had never been joined with Him by recieving His Holy Spirit.
All our works a filthy rag before god ,,none righteous I'm born again spirit filled know god have hope faith grace 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋☔😐
Currently in a small group study on the parables of Christ. This helps a lot for our discussion this coming Sunday evening. Think I will listen in more often.
Best wishes,

1 John 5:13 A know so salvation. Do we desire to live for Jesus ? to do His will and not ours. A burden to see Souls saved ? Do we desire to tell others how to be saved ?Are we ashamed of our faith ? I pray my friends to know Jesus by reading ,studying and walking by Faith in His Word to the end, 2 Timothy 4:7 finish the course, keep the faith.
Should we just think about the last day of the parable? How about what is happening when someone die now?
Praised be The Lord for His revelation. God bless this preacher and his house.
I've been searching for this specific parable meaning.
This message is indeed from The Holy Spirit sound doctrine.
Yet i see there is more to come from God's infinite wisdom...
a left question to me, on this parable is, why the prudent virgins refuse to share their oil not as if it was unshareable but it was not enought for both and then they recommend the foolish ones to go and buy from whoever can sell it?
Please traducir al español....
That parable has nothing to do with the Rapture. It relates to Christ's Second Coming

This parable is about Israel not the church. Deuteronomy
Leviticus 24:2
King James Bible
Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.
Wise Foolish Lamp Light Oil, define those with scripture and you’ll understand
Trying to understand. When i think , Virgin, meaning purity, right,. Those virgins were considered PURE. Yet they did NOT continue in in purity. Did they fall away. BECAME unpure. Foolish decision. By not bringing not enough oil. My misunderstanding is the word virgin, meaning. Untouched, pure.
Did you watch each of the videos on this topic? Keep in mind Jesus told them He "Never Knew Them". Virgin here does not mean spiritual purity but those who have an appearance of it.
I agree, they didn't continue until the end. The parable of the sower; some accepted the Word but didn't continue in it.
@@sgtred111 the language used here is hyperbole. 'I never new you' is used for effect. Only those who remain until the end have shown themselves to be 'of him' and 'known by him'.
Where did you find what you teach very few teach what you say.
I have known it since 1991and there is more .
Hear what the Sprite is saying to the church Revelation 3:22 His sheep hear His voice and fallow Him John 10:27-28
Regeneration you must be born again to enter the kingdom of God. One must possess faith not profess faith.
And who is the bride? Do you make any distinction between the bride and the guests of the wedding? Or between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Heaven? The work of the Spirit and the presence of the Spirit?. Beware.
The ten virgins are the bridesMAID. The jews.... the bride of Christ is the church. The born again Christian's are not the bridesmaids. The born again christians are the bride. The 10 virgins are the ones that are in the tribulation. Has nothing to do with the bride. Except the bride getting to know christ at the rapture before the tribulation.

I'm struggling with issues ,smoking ,is kicking my rear ,I hate it ,need help to stop please ask God to take it away ,before I'm dead 😋
Endour to be saved?How?..I am saved so now I have the means and power to endour.Its the only way, ye must be born again to face what every soul born of woman must face
His or Her beautiful savior.Praise God.
I thought that 2Tim.3:15 was the right answer, written by the Spirit, that is, the Holy Scriptures making us wise 'unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus', and alluded to Prov.23:23, as the wise virgins say, because how else can we walk 'in the light' as He is in the light.
The Spirit is not for sale...neither is salvation, or eternal life.
In mark 16:17 Jesus said these signs shall follow those that believe,they will speak with new tongues,this is the way you know you have the holy ghost! Also this is the oil your talking about.when peter thought salvation was only for the jew then Cornelius the gentile came to him,what convinced Peter the spirit or oil was for Cornelius? He heard Cornelius speak with tongues as well as he did.
Question: is the holy spirit a gift from God or something which you purchase? The unwise virgins did have oil, just not enough to last out the wait for the master. Can you run out of the Holy Spirit? I agree that we cant be dogmatic about what the oil is, but we can rule out the Holy Spirit. Could it be that the unwise virgins are the Christians who are counting on a pre tribulation rapture? They were expecting the masters return but didn’t prepare for the long haul and were forced to purchase their supplies which means taking the mark of the beast. Just a thought.
Who are the virgins.... the virgins are said to be the bridesmaids. Last I check the bridesmaids do not get married. But are there to observe the marriage.
The 10 virgins are the Jews in the tribulation. The bride is the church. The kingdom of God has no tears among the wheat. Whereas the kingdom of heaven does. And to get to the kingdom of heaven you have to endure.
We are not appointed to wrath. Why? Because we know what Jesus did for us. The church. Died on the cross and shed blood for my sins. We know him. The jews need to know him in the 7 year period. Again, kingdom of god is no tears. Which were in right now, getting to the kingdom of heaven will have tears. Which you must endure to get to. If theirs a mid or post trib rapture then what's the point of a glorified body... if it was post I would be a little... no I'd be mad at God. Theirs no need for a glorified body at post. And if mid, then the bride could be soiled. I'm presented clean, why would the bride be under the antichrists rule. Hes allowing his bride to be ruled by the antichrist? That doesn't make sense.
No no. There is no way to see oil as a metaphor meaning the Holy Spirit. Since it appears to be something you can share, how can you give part of your own holy Spirit to someone? I have no answer, but the whole of the parable is a most difficult one.
The corn. John 16:13 represents the oil. The Spirit Of Truth, and the Holy Spirit, or one, and the same, The Spirit Of Truth, is the eyes of the Holy Ghost, which is a extension of the mind of God, made manifest in the flesh. If you have seen The Spirit Of Truth, you have seen the Holy Spirit in the flesh.
Every exposition on this I’ve heard so far the speaker talks about the parable for a few minutes then goes off on a tangent about something else and this guy sadly is no different. Both parties had oil in their lamps which were all lit. They all slept as they all expected the bridegroom sooner rather than later tho the wise were prepared for the delay by having a second supply to draw on when they all ran out . How can anyone have a second supply of the Holy Spirit ???. What does the sleeping represent ?.
Ok... I have a couple questions, If the oil is the holy spirit:
1. Why do the wise virgins tell the foolish to go buy oil? You can't buy, and the wise virgins wouldn't have told the foolish to do something wrong.
2. The foolish had oil, and it ran out... Does the Holy Spirit run out? I think not.
In the tribulation, you can lose the holy spirit. It's not sealed like it is today. When the church goes out, the holy spirit takes the church. The spirit is still on earth. But isnt sealed. It can go out of you take the mark, number or name.
@@1Corinthians151-4 download endtimes delusion by steve wohlberg its free on Google
I actually get very confused at times.....
I accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour many years ago.....the parable of the 5 foolish and 5 wise virgins has always baffled me.... I need to know how to keep my lamp filled. How does one get emptied of oil? I, like Paul find myself doing things I don't want to and not doing things I want to......I get so fed up with myself....it's the jolly flesh that gets in the way.
Must I now ask The Lord to Fully Infill my very being, continuously, so as not to be "tapped out"?
This parable is taken out of context so many times. The oil really doesn't have much to do with anything.
When teachers claim that the oil represents faith or the Holy Spirit, they create a lot of problems. First off, the faith of a mustard seed can move mountains. So the oil can't represent faith.
As for the Holy Spirit, some don't have "half" the Spirit and others have more. We either have the Spirit or we don't.
The oil is not the star of the parable. The virgins represent Israel.
We know that Jesus is the bridegroom. We also know that His bride is the church.
If we notice, the bride goes in with Him.
The parable is like the Jewish wedding.
This is warning the Jews to be ready. Some Jews have believed that Jesus is the Messiah. The other half refuses to.
I hope this makes sense. Lol!
I think sometimes we miss the forest for the trees.
Hello there. :) Please don’t stop reading Paul’s testimony at the end of Romans chapter 7 and think that’s your future (or was his life)! The Good News is not one of salvation and struggle with sin - Jesus died so that we would be FREE from sin! Romans 8:1-2 “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.”
I’ve found teaching that set me free. You must take a look at The Last Reformation on RUclips, the Pioneer School in particular, to get an understanding of the power of the gospel to free you from sin, and how you are to respond to the gospel. There’s freedom for you! “For it (the gospel of Christ) is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes (it and obeys)”. Romans 1:16.
Act quickly, don’t waste any more time wrestling with sin when Jesus paid to set you free! :) The real Jesus life awaits you!
@@djohnson3093 great explanation
@@djohnson3093 kind of like how the Jews believed their ethnicity was a guaranteed shoe-in for Heaven, and Christ had to disillusion them of that.
But, I have to disagree with you about the oil not being the "star" or focal point of the parable or "having much to do with anything", because I believe it very well is and does. The only deciding factor between the Virgins is the oil, and this parable is a comparative and that requires a differentiate - the oil is the difference.
Christ often used comparitive/differentiative parables and teachings to cut to the hearts of the hardened Jews, and open their eyes and ears (hence all of His "it was said of old/but I say" as well as the story of the good Samaritan. And many others).
As for not being able to have "half the Holy Spirit"...what do you make of te ones who called Him "Lord" and proclaimed to do mighty works in His name? How was their work possible w/out the Holy Spirit?
As Gerstner said, "some can have the Holy Spirit "upon" but not "within" them".
@@djohnson3093 yours is the first correct answer on this parable
How do backsliders recieve the Holy Spirit again! After offending gods spirit to the point of him leaving. Years of backsliding Then god calling u back to Christ god willing?
Through God's mighty grace. That's how.
I am sorry but there is something wrong in this teaching.
"And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years." Genesis 6
I am sorry to say, the spirit mentioned in the verses above is not talking about the Holy Spirit. It is talk about the spirit of man given by God from the very beginning when He breath into Adam that keep man alive.
" Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?" Ecclesiastes 3:21
If the oil is the Holy Spirit, then WHY do the wise virgins tell the foolish to go and BUY oil for themselves .. WHEN and WHERE does God EVER tell us we need or must BUY the Holy Soirit? Ans is .. HE DOESN'T!!!
Funny how one little verse can jumble up a wrong interpretation as presented in this video.
Please consider the following:
Luke 12:36 KJV
And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
The man in the video indicates the 10 virgins are Christians waiting to be caught up by the bridegroom to be the bride. However a simple reading from Luke shows the bridegroom is coming FROM the wedding!
The truth is the 10 virgins are Jewish believers being caught up out of the 7 yr Trib to be guest at the wedding feast.
Regarding Matthew 25 and the foolish virgins.. that is NOT doctrine for the Christian and losing their salvation. Christians CANNOT lose their salvation, but Jews during the Tribulation can because they’re saved by faith AND WORKS.
The Church is considered to be the BRIDE throughout the whole Bible, not as virgins waiting to “meet” the Bridegroom
Matt 25:1 “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to MEET the bridegroom.” KJV
There’s not a single member of the Body of Christ in this entire chapter.
These “virgins” do not go to marry “the bridegroom” , they go to “meet” Him, because He is ALREADY married!
Read Luke 12:36 “And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.” KJV
The Bride of Christ is NEVER referred to as “virgins” in the plural; she is ONE
Ephesians 4:4 “There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;”
And we are ESPOUSED to CHRIST, and we are like a chaste virgin (singular)
1 Corinthians 11:2 “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.”
These “virgins” are mentioned in Psalm 45:14 and Song of Solomon 1:3 and 6:8 as SEPARATE from the Bride.
Just the chapter before this one, Matthew 24:45 these “servants” are JEWS, not Christians.
These Jewish, male “virgins” show up in the Tribulation in REVELATION 14:1-4
Their salvation is connected with WORKS (Revelation 12:17), which is why some of them can lose it
This book is tricky, but you must rightly divide or you can live your whole life knowing wrong doctrine. (2 Timothy 2:15)
It can't be the Holy Spirit- they are told to go buy (purchase) oil... you cannot purchase the Holy Spirit. That was attempted once in Acts and it did not work out well for that man.
The messiah's name was always going to be Jesus according to Zechariah Chapter 6... which is the same name as the post exile high priest ,Yeshua!
if the concept of Messiah and God are separate then it doesn't automatically follow that sins can be forgiven.. only God can forgive sins. furthermore if the expectation of Messiah is to reverse the events of Genesis 3 Genesis 6 and Genesis 11 then by Definition messiah has to be more than just a man.
Jesus being born of Mary but not of Joseph is not a problem according to Jewish history because I believe during the reign of Queen Alexandra Jewish law made Heritage pass on, by matrilineal Bases.
A basis for the Trinity can be established in the Old Testament by passages like Amos 4:11Isaiah 48:16.. and Judges chapter 2:1 and Daniel 7:9-14
Support for the idea of God becoming man in Scripture are Deuteronomy 18 verses 15 to 18 Focus of the verse speaks of the coming Messiah coming from lineage of Israel like unto moses.
We also have Exodus chapter 23 verse 20 and 21 the context of which is speaking about the future Endeavor of going over Jordan then we come to Joshua chapter 5 verses 13 to 15 and the context of this passage is having just gone over the Jordan into Israel.
Another proof of this idea perhaps most glaringly Jeremiah chapter 1 verses 4-10... the first thing you want to pay attention to is titles in verse 4 and verse 9... Hashem and the word of the Lord these titles are used interchangeably there's some definite implication there but the point of emphasis here is verse 9 because it goes a little further than just anthropomorphic language.
Now the next concern is did Jesus ever claim to be God? And for this the scriptures I would provide are Matthew 26:64 Jesus directly quotes Daniel 7:13
John 10:34 Jesus claims to be the judge in Psalm 82 referencing verse 6
In John 10 versus Both 11 and 14 Jesus Yeshua says that he is the Good Shepherd and you can cross-reference this with the very first line of Psalm 23.
In Mark chapter 6 starting from verse 45 Jesus walks on the water this is something designated in the Old Testament for something only God (job 9:8) can do this separates Jesus from the other people who did miracles.
Where another claim would be is in the fact that Jesus forgives sins, off the top of my head is Mark chapter 2
now certainly there have always been Messianic claimants but none of them have ever claimed to forgive sins.
Now the question becomes why would Jesus so secretive why didn't he just come out and say that he was the Lord God of Israel?... well one scripture off the top of my head of that I would provide here that might be interesting is this Matthew 16:20 "then he commanded his disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ"... my suggestion to you here, would be that the crucifixion how to take place at a certain place at a certain time and under a specific set of circumstances.
Please Look into all the scriptures I made mention here I hope this helps even one person
Hashem bless everyone of you... in the name of Jesus both son and God of David king of Israel, amen..!
It's about the jews the last of them, Who believed , they all had oil and lamps, just no vessels with oil. They took the mark where buying oil after midnight, don't take the mark of the beast. The Holy spirit was take out with the rapture he was the one holding back the night, it's works and faith and by there own blood or live to the end. They take an idol in themselves, you cant get married to a groom if you are already with someone else even if a virgin.
They are bridesmaids not the church. Just study Jewish marriage customs and you will know who they are! Jewish bridesmaids always had 10 virgin bridesmaids to light the way for her to the grooms father's house.
Oil is lamp oil. Not Holy Spirit, For one can not run out of Holy Spirit. The 5 go to buy oil. And who can buy and sell. Those with the mark 666 .So they take the mark to buy lamp oil .They could stay with those who had oil .The groom can easily see the 5 candles, And then everyone had come to the party
according to the ancient Jewish cultural background, the Oil is the "Torah ".
The wise virgins were filled with the deeds of Torah.
The foolish virgins represent the harlot churches who have Abolished the Law (Torah) thinking its not fo us anymore.
This is exactly what ancient Jewish Pharisees would say. The oil is refinery the Holy Spirit which enable us to produce good fruit
YOU CANNOT BUY THE
HOLY SPIRIT ! THE OIL IS PROVISIONS ,
ASSOCIATING THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH "BUYING WITH MONEY" IS UTTER BLASPHEMY -
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
Even though I listened to this lesson I don't remember in which part John Gerstner said the Holy Spirit can be bought with money. And I really appreciated the other Bible reference you gave with Peter.
I am curious what you think the oil is in this parable? Another comment on this video said it does not refer to the Holy Spirit.
Thank you.
Hmmm I would not get stuck on this rapture which is NOT in the bible, we as Christians are not appointed to wrath but saved by faith in Christ, ever seen that before? Reminds me of Ecc 1:9 kjv So, in Exodus how are they saved? by the blood of the Lamb. What does Christ say? Matthew 13:24 parable gives us what will happen in Christ's own words. I am more concerned by what Christ is telling me and following his ways, he will take care of everything else.
This parable is about three things, the Lamp, Light and Oil.....Please see Proverbs 6:23 kjv and yes, oil is the Holy Spirit. No, not about reading your bible (yes, you should everyday), about being clothed in the proper wedding garments Matthew 22:11-14 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen.
You must walk in the Laws and Commandment of God! The man was not clothed in the Laws of God! Yes, I know what you will say....but...but Paul said this and that, Did Christ Follow the Laws? YES! Did the Apostles including Paul? Yes!! Matthew 5:17-18 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Christ broke the tradition of the elders which refers to rabbinical Judaism, they corrupted the Laws. He came to show the people how to keep the Torah, he never broke any part of it!!! If you think at judgement you can say, I believe, I believe and by that you are saved yet, you never walked in his ways......You will hear "depart from me for I have never known you" and gone! God says "My Laws are FOREVER" and he says it several times, I believe him. Read Paul's Romans 2 and one other thing, Who is Israel (spiritual name)? Not Jacob! The head of the Church is and if the head is Israel are we not the body of Christ? We are Israel in Christ! Nahum 2:2 kjv Matt 2:15, Hosea 11:1 kjv, Exodus 4:22 and Galatians 6:16 kjv.
Iniquity is moral injustice, wickedness or sin. In biblical terms, it is a violation of God's moral law, which can be described as perversity, for example by judging a group of people for not showing up at an event to which they purposefully have not been invited to.
Not following his Commandments and Laws which he gives you in His Holy Book!
God Bless!
There is certainly a rapture.
@@1Corinthians151-4 No....sorry, but read scripture. What does Messiah teach? Do you believe him? or man made deceit?
@@tmcge3325 it's literally scriptural. Do YOU believe the word of God? Or the man made deciet that there is no rapture? I suggest getting into the pages and off RUclips if you dont have a clear understanding of scripture for yourself.
@@marthafrederick5109 Exactly.....I have read scripture and continue to read scripture daily! I read between 12 and 20 chapters and I have read everything over and over....not one place, not one verse tells us we leave early! No, not Paul in Cornithians or Thessalonians. If you want the best description of the last day, read what Jesus tells us in Matthew 13:24-30 kjv and if you do not believe him, good luck!
@@tmcge3325 hmmm it's seems that you aren't the one who believes him. Good luck! Also am I supposed to be impressed with your "works of righteousness"?
Sorry Dr, the oil here refers to the desire to obey Gods commandments!
No…it doesn’t
Definitely not
Well I'm a little late on the comment BUT all the virgins were believers!! As believers they had the Holy Spirit which is why the oil is NOT the Holy Spirit. Why would send them back to get the Holy Spirit. No the oil is the wisdom and knowledge of the law and to be obedient to it. To not be obedient to the law just because your a believer is foolish. Remember Christ said he did not come to abolish the law but fulfill it.
Not truth
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD ARE NOT THE SAME. If you don't know this, you can't possibly understand a lot of Scripture, which is obvious in this video.
@@Daveunave ,don't worry, it took me 60 years before I understood this truth. God Bless!
Matthew
Chapter 19
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Wrong Steele they are both the same.
They are the same. The book of Matthew uses Kingdom of heaven because he was writing to a Jewish audience.
What is the difference between kingdom of God and kingdom of heaven?
@@tonyshumway7652 Matthew is geared for Jews. Luke is geared for gentiles. Kingdom of God has no tears. Kingdom of heaven has tears. You'll rightly divide when you study more!
Bridegroom is the Christ;
Bride is the Church;
Ten Virgins are the Jews;
Some Jews can enter the Millennium;
Some Jews cannot enter the Millennium.
The parable of ten virgins is about the judgment for the Jews.
The parable of the servants is about the judgment for the Church.
The parable of the sheep and the goats is about the judgment for the Gentile Nations.
Matthew 25 is about the prophecy of destiny for the three groups of people in the world with regard to the Millennium:
(1) The chosen people (Jews)
(2) The Church
(3) The Gentiles.
In the parable of the servants, do you think a christian can lose salvation?
You say in the parable that the Bride represents the church.. but where then is the Bride in this parable? She’s never actually mentioned. This is the weakest part of your interpretation.
wow! that very misleading teaching... I cannot believe someone is that lost...
Matthew 25 was before the cross. the Holy Spirit wasn’t poured out (on the little flock) until after the cross at pentecost. there were no Christians until Paul was saved, again years after the cross. so, the only people who are in the story...the virgins were believing and unbelieving jews.
“born again” is applied to Israel. they were first born as a nation in (Exo 4:22), so in (Joh 3) Jesus told the leader of sanhedrin they (as a nation) needed to be born again, which will happen in the millennium.
the body of Christ (BOC) become “new creatures” when we are saved, not born again. (2 Cor 5:17) (Gal 6:15).
I, like you find it amazing that most people don't understand these parables.The virgins are the Jews, and this is all about the Kingdom of Heaven and not the Kingdom of God.
Can you please explain the difference between kingdom of heaven and kingdom of God?

The wise r those who keep sabbath. They are prepared for the seventh day of rest. They prepped by having an extra portion so as not to have to go out and buy on the sabbath. Keep Torah and have the spirit.
Dude. Were under grace. Not the law. Trust in the blood of christ for all remission of sins.
@@1Corinthians151-4 lol seems to be the way to go.
@@1Corinthians151-4he does trust in the blood for his justification.. he’s referring to good works through the law for his sanctification.. do not spit on the Law of God
