The Ten Virgins

Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
The ten virgins are symbolic of the people that exist during the end times. One group is the 5 foolish virgins and the other is the 5 wise virgins. 5 is the number of grace. Both groups have the same amount of Grace. The wise virgins have studied the Word of God and the foolish have not. The parable of the ten virgins is set forth in a group of parables all having to do with the end times.
The key words to understanding this parable are “oil, lamps and vessel”.
-Oil is symbolic for truth which is the Word of God. el'-ah-yon is the phonetic pronunciation for Oil. One is the title of God and the other is God Himself. Olive Oil is the Oil of our people. Christ is the Anointed One.
A lamp is symbolic for light. Christ is the Bright Morning Star. Pointing to truth.
You and I are vessels; we can pour anything we want to in these vessels. We can be a vessel for Christ or the devil.
2 Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
Teaching Christians to worship satan is certainly another gospel.
