Verse 7. “Then arose all – virgins
those,and prepared the lamps of them”.
ALL
were given
this chance
when the “Cry/call” is made to prepare by
being Bride Lamps.
The
point of the illustration is to show why “5” were no longer Bride
Lamps...but
they had the chance to remain “Wise” or Virgin Pure.
Also,the
“prepared” work of their Lamps was revealing something that had
happened to the Fools. Time had passed since the 1st
misunderstanding. When it got to a point where they were awakened and
all were “preparing” their “Lamp Self”,it was then that
something was revealed that had happened to the Fools in relation
to seeing the Bridegrooms arrival. They
couldnt see it. The Wise could...so the Fools being spiritually “Dull
or stupid” presumed it was just a matter oil,which is what they
asked for.
It
wasnt at this point that they all of a sudden they were Wise or
Fools. The getting “prepared” for meeting the Bridegroom shows
they WERE Wise or Fools by previous actions and deeds. Jesus
arriving was to allow the Wise into the Feast because those who were
allowed in were sealed as confirmed Wise Virgin Bride Lamps...and the
Fools were confirmed Fools and not allowed into the feast. This is
what happened.
Proof
that they were confirmed as Wise or Fools is the title or name the
Fools had. Fools. Remember the meaning of “Fool” ? “shut” the
mouth.” “Through the idea of “silence” imposed by
initiation into religious rites.”
The
Silenced Fools had allowed and chosen this to be imposed upon
themselves SO they could be part of “religious rites” to stay
within the Organisation. They once were Wise Shining Lamps,but they
had allowed silence to be imposed upon them and thus they were not
Wise or shining anymore.
Time
was needed to see who would allow this to happen.
All were “Invited”
and had the chance to go Heaven,but not all were “Chosen”. It was
the time for the reward...and this illustration is showing why.
8/ And the fools to the prudent said,Give us
the oil of you,for the lamps of us are going out.’
So
many commentaries on this illustration presume because of this
question by the Fools,that this MUST mean that the Fools were right
in their assessment ...that what they needed was oil to see Jesus
arrival as the Virgin Wise could.
So
if the Fools asked the Wise for oil,does this prove that they needed
oil because they thought they needed it ?
Since when does a Fool who is silenced and “Dull or stupid”
spiritually know what they need to have spiritual light,esp when
they used to be True Wise Virgin Lamps when first “Invited”? The
sick dont know what they need to get well...and especially is this
true if one is spiritually sick and chose to be that way as
the Fools had.
So
they think asking the Virgin Wise for oil is the key to having light
to see Jesus arrival. Thats a Fools way of thinking,being “Dull or
stupid”! But the Virgin Wise point out the real problem.
This
is one of the biggest misconceptions about the Illustration of the
“10 virgins”...that because the Fools asked for oil and
said they needed oil,this means that they did not have oil and thus
couldnt see.
But
the Virgin Wise,because they do “see” and shine brilliantly with
HS,point out the real problem...as we see in the next verse to be
explained.
When
its wasnt oil that was the problem,why did the Fools presume it was
oil? Thats because as part of Jehovah's Witnesses,all Virgin Invited
Anointed ,Wise or Fool have “light” about basic bible truths,that
as a whole other religions dont. The very thing that started the
Organisation to gather the 10 Virgins as a class over 100 years ago.
This is amasing spiritual light. The Fools presume because they see
with this kind of light,that they should be able to see Jesus
arrival with the oil the Wise were using. But thats not the case.
The
Illustration is talking about light in relation to Jesus arriving as
the Bridegroom...which is a different kind of light. Even after the
initial “1st mistaken arrival expectation” of
1914-1919,ALL anointed fell asleep in relation to this knowledge
until the “cry” is made just before the Bridegroom
arrives...while seeing a wonderful array of basic bible
doctrinal light.
The
Fools presume that because they were once like the Wise being true
Bride Lamps,that all they need is oil. But how can that be
possible since they are Blind and cannot see when Jesus will Arrive ?
They may have been Virgins who were pure when first invited,but
they had given something away.
Havnt
we already seen by the words Jesus used in relation to Wise and Fool
that the Fools were no longer lamps to have the capacity to
hold oil or Holy Spirit? Yes.
Warning
Invited Anointed ! Just because you were Invited once,does
not mean you will be able to be a Lamp and see when the Bridegroom
Arrives and go into the Feast...be sealed into your Heavenly Hope.
“Many
are invited,but few are chosen” said Jesus. Not all who are
Invited prove faithful to the invitation. As many as “5” are Fools and are not “chosen”.
Its only when we find that 5 Virgin
Fools have done something with the Seller,that it becomes clear why
the 5 Virgin Fools dont see,as mentioned in the next verse.
Dont forget,already we have looked
at Jesus wording in regards to the Wise and Fools.
Jesus says of the Wise:“oil
in the vessels
of self,in
the lamps
of self”
This is because the Fools were no
longer Bride Lamps,when
the Wise were.
