THE TEN VIRGINS / THE ELECT IN HEAVEN

The ten “virgins” who with their lamps await the coming of the bridegroom, represent in reality, the ten tribes of Israel! (Matt. 25: 1-13)

Who have been dispersed among the nations of the earth, awaiting the Coming of their Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ!

They are not however the Jews currently residing in Israel, who together with Benjamin, represent only two of the tribes of the twelve tribes of Israel.

Now five of these tribes were wise and anointed of the Holy Spirit, they endured longsuffering during the great tribulation. They were ready and chosen as part of the elect to go with Jesus when He came! (Matt. 24:30-31) (Rev.7: 9 -17)

For it is written. “After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Jesus), clothed with white robes, with palm leaves in their hands.” “….These are the ones” the elected remnant (not the Jews, although; there are Jewish Christians amongst the elect) “who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

“Therefore they are before the throne of GOD, and serve HIM day and night in HIS Temple. And HE who sits on the throne will dwell among them.”

“They shall neither hunger nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; “for the Lamb (Jesus) who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters (the 1000 year peace period on earth). “And GOD will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” (Rev.7: 9 -17)   (Rev. 20: 4 - 6)

But the five remaining virgins resemble the five tribes of Israel, who were left behind when the Lord Jesus came. With remorse they were left behind!

Although they confessed their faith in GOD the Father and Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit! Their religion was only a religion of convenience, their faith, love and virtue was corruptible!

They were possessed and corrupted by the religion of prosperity (a spirit of deception from Satan, called Mammon)!

They have forsaken the Holy Spirit truth, for the Mammon spirit of deception and worldliness, riches and the pleasures thereof. All of this was done in the name of Jesus! (Matt 6: 24)

They could not bear to suffer the great tribulation, which was foreordained for the “elect” of the Lord Jesus Christ, since, before the foundation of the earth was laid. Therefore they (the five foolish virgins) took the mark of the “beast” to worship the image of the beast! (Rev. 14: 9b-12)

With the result that, the great majority of Christians on earth and especially from the Western nations will be left behind!

Paul referred to Isaiah the Prophet when he said: “Though the people of Israel (12 tribes) are as numerous as the sand of the seashore, only a remnant will be saved. (Rom 9: 27)
