In the parable of the ten virgins Matthew 25:1-13 what do you think the oil and the lamp and the light stand for in Christian life? And being a virgin represents what?
And what we should do to ensure our entrance to the marriage and not left out?
Its obvious the parable talks about the spiritual situation Christians will be during the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Giannis, to understand the parable, you first have to understand the second coming.
The second coming and the second resurrection are two entirely different things.
The second coming is liked unto the time of Noah. Everyday life going on around men, and men are not aware that that the door (Christ, the ark), will be shut at any moment by ones physical death.
The second coming is Christ, coming as a thief in the night, and he is not seen, but:
Hebrews 9:28 ..to those who look for him he shall appear THE SECOND TIME (as the Holy Ghost, Truth and Life) without sin unto salvation.
This has been happening now for two thousand years.
Matthew 25:1 Then (after Pentecost) shall the kingdom of heaven (Christ in you, the Holy Spirit in you, life and truth in you) be likened unto ten virgins (potential BRIDES OF CHRIST), which took their lamps (vessels, that hold oil, and give light, our bodies are the vessel, the oil is the Holy Spirit, and the light is Christ), and went forth to meet the Bridegroom (their potential husband).
Matthew 25: And five were wise, and five were foolish.
Matthew 25:3 They that were foolish took their lamps (their vessel of light or their body, and took no oil (the anointing of the SPIRIT) with(in) them (that burns as the light).
Matthew 25:4 But the wise took oil (the anointing of the SPIRIT) in their vessels (their bodies) with their LIGHT (their CHRIST).
Matthew 25:6 And while the bridegroom tarried (remained out of sight from the physical eyes), they all slumbered and slept.
Matthew 26:7 And at midnight there was a cry made (the last trump, the end of time for this body of flesh), Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go you out to meet him (those born of the Spirit returned to the Spirit, and those with no oil went to the grave to await the second resurrection).
This does't happen to the virgins collectively, but in each one's appointed hour.

God bless you all.
