What does the 10 virgins falling asleep mean?

[luigi]

 Matthew 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

It is interesting to see how in over 3 hours with 11 views that no one has responded to what is such a super simple kindergarten question.

The 10 virgins fall asleep during the reign of the beast, having been overcome by the great things boasted by the beasts mouth, during the reign of the beast in which the whole world who are not written in the Lambs book of life will be in adoration of the beast's new world order. The 10 virgins are thus asleep spiritually while things are carnally well throughout the earth. A sort of like Capital city from the film Hunger games hedonistic society, as in the days of Noah and as in the days of Lot.

It is all of those people who are not going to heaven.

Five of the fallen asleep virgins, however, have enough oil to keep their faith going until the Lords return.

An interesting application of the parable, luigi.

In reality it was quite normal for the brides' attendants who were charged with welcoming the groom to sleep whilst waiting for him and his party to arrive, and there is no criticism or condemnation due the 5 virgins who had enough oil to keep their lamps burning since they were able to transition from waiting for the groom to waiting on him, and to go in with him without delay.

The foolish virgins however had not given any thought to the arrival of the groom, and so were not ready to go in with him when he came.

What good is a lamp without oil? If it cannot shed light it is only an ornament.

Why didn't the wise virgins share their oil? (I could answer...but I will see what the gallery and the brains trust have to say.)

Like the Lord also questions whether He will find faith when He returns, seems to indicate to me that the hedonistic system of the beast will really be something where the saints are overcome by it and fall asleep.

Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Its about the Wedding Guests at the Marriage of the Lamb, thus the Brides represents the Church as Individuals, or ALL Christians, the 10 represents the Complete church (see 10 Horns of the Beast which represents all of Europe and the Ten Days of Tribulation in Rev. 2:10 which represents the WHOLE Church Age), thus out of 10 Jesus is saying only half of those that call themselves my Bride, actually have the Holy Spirit residing in them (in general it might be 1 Billion and 1 out of 2 Billion, LOL), thus Jesus is telling the Disciples and us that at the Rapture, which is pre tribulation, only about half of those who call themselves Christians will actually be true Christians. Thus they miss the Wedding to the Lamb in Heaven. They can still make Heaven, just not the Wedding to the Lamb, they will be required now to deny the Beast by laying down their lives (see the 5th Seal/Under the Alter.....see Rev. 20:4, those who refuse to take the Mark of the Beast live and reign ON EARTH with Jesus for 1000 years) for the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

NOTICE: In Matt. 24:36-51, we see that 1 is TAKEN and 1 is LEFT !! That comes to 50 percent also !! God always has perfect Symmetry. 

Jesus is telling us, half the Church (Brides) will not make it to the Marriage in Heaven, the door will be shut to them, then they must go through a TIME OF TROUBLES that they needed not go through.

Because they did not know when the Bridegroom was coming, thus they could have run out themselves. But as Christians its really not that, in essence, we can't share the Holy Spirit with others, its God's gift to us alone. BUT....as a parable, it is what I stated.

Seem to be since its a parable that using sleep as being unaware .

Not knowing when the bridegroom is coming.

We must be ready or prepared for his coming even tho we do not know when he will show up.

If we sleep unready, we wake up unready.

I like that. Rest in the Lord and sleep ready for His Return.
