Does the parable of ten virgins portray the pre-trib. rapture of the saints ? The test is now !

[R. Hartono]

If not, what does Jesus mean with the foolish virgins left behind and screamed "Lord Looooord  take us in" ? ?????

The foolish failed the test to keep their lamp burning. The test whether they are worthy to be taken is now, not later in great tribulation.

I think its a warning to all who call themselves Christians.

James 2: 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that--and shudder.

Being a believer is more then just believing in Christ, we need to live a lifestyle pleasing to the Lord

You are talking about a doctrine. At the end of 2,000 year church age Jesus comes for his church, this is known as the rapture. We are caught up to be with Him in the Air or in the Clouds. He then takes us to Heaven for the 7 year trib and then we return with Him to rule and reign on the Earth for 1,000 years. His feet actually touch the ground at that time. Acts 1:1-11 & Zechariah 14:4

The virgins go out to meet the bridegroom during the tribulation, right after the abomination of desolation is revealed.

And then they wait, just like the Israelites waited to meet with God after they fled out of Egypt: they had to wait 52 days before YHWH descended upon Mount Sinai.

Three days before that descent, Moses warned the people to "be ready" (Ex. 19:11), but few of them were prepared for the event anyway. Those who were -- Moses and Joshua, in particular -- were able to ascend into His Presence.

These things were a type and shadow of what the Church will experience in the days leading up to the descent of Christ in the clouds, who will take up only "those were were ready." Matt. 25:10

Two shall be in the field one is taken one is left, the wise virgins are taken but the foolish are left when Jesus appeared on clouds in Revelation chapter 1. 

But Jews Will see AOD in 2nd half of great Tribulation n run away immediately, not waiting for anything.
