THE FIVE FOOLISH VIRGINS WERE DISOBEDIENT

THE FIVE FOOLISH VIRGINS WERE DISOBEDIENT

As you can see the five wise virgins kept their vessels clean.
It wasn’t by grace that they we able to be received but, by keeping their vessels (temples) clean and keeping the holy spirit (oil) in their lamps and the word stored in their hearts.

My vessel is the temple of God”
( 1 Corinthians 6:19-20) means a believer’s body is the sacred, temporary dwelling place of the Holy Spirit,

(“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
(Psalms 119:105)

Matthew 25:4
(But the wise took OIL in their vessels with their LAMPS.

OIL represents the holy spirit of God.
LAMPS represent the word of God and the light that helps you see in the darkness even when you’re sleeping.

Matthew 25:1-4
“Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil (holy spirit) with them:
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Matthew 25:5-13
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

(The wise slept with the oil of the holy spirit in their lamps so they could see in the darkness and, word of God that was stored in their hearts, their vessels)

6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
(It doesn’t matter if you trim the wick in your lamp if there’s no oil in it. It won’t light)

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Be ready like the five wise virgins •°~♡
