All About The Parable Of
The Ten Virgins

The parable of the ten virgins is a beautiful poetic story filled with love, determination, preparation, and tragedy all in one. When Yahusha spoke about the parable of the ten virgins, he was speaking to his disciples at the Mount Of Olives. They were asking Yahusha what the coming back would be like. Yahusha mentioned many comparisons, and The Ten Virgins was one of them.

So in the beginning of the parable we start out with ten maidens who are sleeping and slumbering, and they are Virgins. Them being virgins just simply means they are pure and undefiled, this represents the body of Christ. The body of Christ are covered by Yahusha and this is what makes them pure. When all ten of the maidens are sleeping this represents them waiting for the call. When a call is made “behold the bridegroom cometh! go ye out to meet him.” The ten maidens arose and trim their lamps, only five took extra oil with them. After being on the path going to the bridegroom, the darkness began to enclose around them. The five maidens that did not take extra oil, their lamps began to go out. The lamps that all ten maidens are holding represents their faith, the light represents the word of Yah that lights their path through the darkness of this world. Many people discuss what the extra oil represents, some say faith and some say belief and others say the Holy Spirit. But I have read from my studies that the extra oil may represent the original name of the son of Yah, which is Yahusha. The five maidens that were foolish in not taking extra oil said to the others “give us of your oil, for our lamps are going out” but the five wise maidens answered “not so; least there not be enough for us and you, but go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourselves.” At this point the five maidens that were not prepared left the path to go and buy extra oil. They represent those who have their eyes on the world and not on Yahusha, but on parties an events more than their love for Christ. When the bridegroom came he only took the five wise woman with him into the wedding.

Afterward came the other maidens saying “Lord, lord open unto us.”

But he answered saying “Verily I say unto you, I know you not.”

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

So the parable of the ten virgins is about being prepared and keeping watch. Yes we are going to be living our everyday lives like getting married, planning events, or celebrating. But we are always to keep Yahusha in our sights and to be ready at all times, so we to will hear his call.
