Yahshua/Jesus tells a story of ten maidens waiting for the Bridegroom to arrive for the wedding feast.
Five were wise, they brought extra oil for their lamps. Five were foolish, they didn’t prepare.
The Bridegroom is Yahshua the Messiah, returning unexpectedly.
The ten virgins/maidens are those (you and me/us) professing faith, waiting for His coming. (believers, a remnant of Israel; not the bride herself).
Lamps are light of the Torah / Word of Elohim (Psalm 119:105 – “Your word is a lamp to my feet”).
Oil is the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), the anointing that keeps our light burning strong through the long wait.
The delay is the time between Yahshua’s first coming and His return; we all grow weary, but preparation matters!
Behold, the Bridegroom comes!” (Echoes the Shofar of Yom Teruah, signaling resurrection & ingathering)
The wedding feast is the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and only the ready enter; the door shuts forever.
The foolish begged for oil, but you can’t borrow someone else’s relationship with the Ruach. While they went to buy, (it also cannot be bought) the Bridegroom came and the wise went in, and the door was shut.
Yahshua’s words hit hard: “I do not know you.”
We need a genuine, Spirit-filled walk.
“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also does seek such to worship Him. Elohim is Spirit, and those who worship Him need to worship in spirit and truth.”
TS2009 (Yoḥanan/John 4:23–24)
“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Adam comes.” (Matt. 25:13 TS2009)
Be filled with the Ruach daily. Walk in Torah obedience. Stay alert!
The Bridegroom is coming…will your lamp still be burning bright?
