This parable is a must for all first new covenant saints - Please read it my brothers. It is the oil you need!
1 A covenant is made between the father of the bride and the groom
2. A price is agreed and paid by the groom or the groom’s father if the groom
is under age
3. Wine is drunk by both parties to seal the union
4. Gifts are given to the bride in advance of the arrival of the groom
5 The groom leaves his father’s house with his best man to fetch his
Bride and bring her home at an unannounced time shouting to warn of their
approach
6. The bride gets her bridesmaids ready and the groom waits outside the bride's
house
7. The bride and groom walk together back to the Bridal Chamber in the groom's
house where they consummate the marriage whilst the best man and the chief
bridesmaid wait outside that chamber.
8. When the couple come out after the consummation then they are married and the
7 day feast begins for the guests, whilst the couple go back into the chamber.
9. After 7 days the bride comes out of the chamber and the veil is taken off so
that all can see who she is.
There is good information about Hebrew wedding custom at
www.bibleprophesy.org/introwedding.htm
www.bibleprophesy.org/weddingstudy.htm
www.bibleprophesy.org/rapturewedding.htm
Although their symbolic understanding is chronologically incorrect. They take the weeding feast to be 7 years long and to occur after the rapture.
Groom is Jesus
Groom's father is Jehovah
Bride is 144,000 1NC saints in two presences
Bride's father is Adam
Price is Jesus' death in ransom for Adam
Wine drunk is Lord's evening meal 1NC cup and ARC
Gifts are gifts of the spirit given to the 1NC saints through the hands of the
apostles
Groom leaving fathers house is Jesus coming down here for ministry
Best man is Gabriel, Elijah, the one preparing the way
Bridesmaids are sons of the ICC
Jesus waiting outside the house is his being no part of the world
The bride coming out is her leaving the world in her spirit and entering into
the church in the first and second presences
The walk back to Jehovah's house is the bride learning God's laws and purposes
in the church
Bridal chamber is the heavenly government courtroom over the Kingdom
The consummation is the investiture of the bride as kings with Jesus over the
Kingdom on 2008Nisan17
They start ruling on 2008Nisan17 following after the pattern of eviction from
Eden.
Then the 7 day wedding feast is a month for a day lasting from 2008Nisan17 to
2008Heshvan17, this is the evening meal of the lamb's marriage of Revelation 19.
It is the food of the LWs for the first 7 months of the kingdom until the Zoar
administration starts which is run by the descended 1NC kings who remove their
veil on 2008Heshvan17 when the Zoar administration takes over the LWs on the
151st day of the greater flood, when the ark hits the mountain.
The 7 year malediction on the 1NC kings runs from 2001Tishri30/Heshvan7, when the Watchtower lost its water baptism to 2008Tishri30/Heshvan7. Angelic protection by the 1NC kings begins on 2008Heshvan7 at the end of the 1.1 millions days of 1Chronicles 21. The scripture do witness that a marriage celebration should last 7 days in Genesis 29...
26 To this Laban said: It is not customary
to do this way in our place, to give the younger woman before the firstborn.
27 Celebrate to the full the week of this
woman [her 7 day marriage feast
and bridal chamber honeymoon]. After that there shall be given to you
also this other woman for the service that you can serve with me for 7 years
more (Genesis 29).
1 Then the kingdom of the heavens will become
like 10 virgins that took their lamps and went out into [the]
meeting of the bridegroom.
2 5 of them were foolish, and 5 were discreet.
3 For the foolish [ones] took their lamps but took no
oil
with them,
4 whereas the discreet [ones] took oil in their
receptacles with their lamps.
5 But [on account - epi] of the delaying [genitive]
bridegroom [genitive,
due to implied preposition - epi used
causally], they all
nodded and went to sleep.
6 But cry
arose of middle of
night,
'Look!, the bridegroom! Be on your way out into [the]
meeting.'
7 Then all those virgins rose and put their
lamps
in order.
8 The foolish [ones] said to the
discreet [ones], 'Give us [some] out of [ek] your oil, because our
lamps are about to go out.'
9 The discreet answered saying: 'Perhaps
there may not be quite enough for us and you. Be on your way, instead, to those
who sell it and buy for yourselves.'
10 While they were going off to buy, the
bridegroom
arrived, and the ready [ones] went in with him to the marriage-feast;
and the door was shut.
11 Afterwards the remaining virgins also came,
saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!'
12 In answer he said, 'I tell you the truth, I do
not know you.'
13 Keep on the watch, therefore, because you know
neither the day nor the hour (Matthew 25).
14 For it is just as when a man travelling abroad... talent parable
SCNC: 3,0,2,3,1,3,2,2,0,3,3,0,2 = 24
Symbolic INC: virgins, lamps, (meeting of the bridegroom), oil, receptacles,
cry, bridegroom, meeting, marriage-feast, door, Lord, day, hour = 12.
virgins (3), lamps, oil, receptacles, cry, bridegroom (3) (must be 3 since there are 3 virgins), meeting, marriage-feast, door, Lord, (day, hour)
This is a parable, it has one event symbolic and one word symbolic meaning. Here is the event symbolic meaning. The Successive Designation Principle tells us that there are two identities for 'Lord'. The account does not say that the discreet virgins went in to the marriage feast and the foolish did not. It says instead that the virgins 'that were ready' went in, and the 'rest of' the virgins were denied. Jesus denies them because they have denied him. He did know them when they were sanctified but Jesus himself has said:
32 Everyone, then, that confesses union with me before men, I will
also confess union with him before my Father who is in the heavens.
33
But whoever disowns me before men, I will also disown him before my Father who is in the
heavens (Matthew 10).
But he no longer knows them after they have failed to keep the faith, and not received the crown of life, and been condemned to Gehenna for their ingratitude at having all their sins in the past forgiven and at having their sins until time indefinite in the future forgiven, being temporarily saved and made into spirit sons of God by being born again.
Here is the Event Symbolic Meaning
| One of the Virgins | The group of 1NC saints who joined the congregation under a particular president of FDS1 or FDS3 |
| 10 Virgins | The 10 groups of 1NC saints who joined the congregations of FDS1 or FDS3 under each of their 10 presidents |
| Lamps | Biblical understandings |
| Oil | Personal research |
| Receptacles | Hearts |
| 5 Discreet [ones] | Those in the first 3 watches of FDS1 and the first two watches of FDS3 |
| 5 Foolish [ones] | Those in the last 2 'watches' of FDS1 and the last 3 'watches' of FDS3 |
| The Bridegroom | Jesus, the mediator of the 1NC |
| Nodded and went to sleep | Dropped their head (Jesus) and stopped watching for him, they all gave up any personal bible research in the last few watches of both FDS1 and FDS3. In the case of FDS3, it was their blasphemous declaration that they were the 'wide awake John class', that helped anaesthetize the congregation. |
| Here is the bridegroom | The virgins hear about the second coming of Christ in the presence. |
| Those who sell it | The angels, they direct personal bible research (sell oil). |
| Buy for yourselves | Do some mad panic bible research double time! |
| The Bridegroom arrived | The ends of the second coming, the manifestation of the presence. |
| The door to the marriage feast was shut | The 1NC saints physically die, so they can no longer enter FDS2 or FDS4 for their marriage feast. For FDS1 this was 123Nisan, for FDS3 it is 2007Adar. The bride is leaving it a bit late! Mind you so have the LWs, we only correctly interpretted this parable in 2003Heshvan - woops. |
| Those who were ready, went in | Being ready is about having kept faith, more than it is about being discreet and having oil. But as James said, 'faith without works is dead'. And some of those works need to be personal research, oil for your spiritual lamp. Otherwise you will not see your mediator. But it is not the discreet virgins who get in, it is those who are ready. |
| The rest of the virgins say Lord, Lord open to us | They would be dead if they were sealed. Anyone alive after 2007Adar is not a 1NC saint. There are perhaps around 3,000 false 1NC saints in the Watchtower today and around 5,000 true ones. May their husband wake them up for the next passover on 2005Nisan14. May they celebrate it correctly as prophesied. |
| I do not know you | You have not been sealed |
| Keep on the watch | Never stop doing personal bible research (drilling for oil) |
| The day or the hour | The day of the presence, the hour of the coming. |
This parable tells us that there are 5 presidents who do their own personal bible research and encourage others likewise and 5 who do not. We know that both FDS1 and FDS3 get more corrupt as they get older. Revelation 2,3 describe the progression of the 3rd, 4th and 5th watches of Pergamum, Thyatira and Sardis, as the Compromising, the corrupt and the dead churches, so either 2 or all 3 of these were foolish. So we are left with two choices, the discreet virgins are either in the first 2 watches of FDS1 and the first 3 of FDS3, or vice versa. To confirm this breakdown we have Jesus' words:
52
For from now on there will be five in one house divided, three against two
and two against three.
53
They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother
against daughter and daughter against [her] mother, mother-in-law against [her]
daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against [her] mother-in-law (Luke 12).
Now we know that the JWs have not had a decent new understanding in 50 years, so the presidencies of Knorr, Franz and Henschel were 'foolish' within the meaning of this parable. Also the 3rd president of FDS1, Timothy, would not have been willing or able to stifle personal research, given his close personal relationship with Paul, the cornerstone of FDS2, the greatest of the first century bible researchers, who studied not only at the feet of Gamaliel, but also at the feet of our Mighty God Jesus Christ. So the last two virgins of FDS1 and the last 3 of FDS3 were 'foolish'.
1 Then the kingdom of the heavens will become
like 10 virgins [10
months of virgins coming into the LWs and Zoar from 2008Ab to 2009Iyyar]
that took their lamps [bible
understandings] and went out into [the]
meeting of the bridegroom.
2 5 of them were foolish [2008Tebbeth
- 2009Iyyar, sons of the 1AC], and 5 were discreet [2008Ab
- 2008Chislev, sons of the 2NC].
3 For the foolish [ones] took their lamps
[bible understandings] but took no
oil
[personal research] with them,
4 whereas the discreet [ones] took oil
[personal research] in their
receptacles [hearts]
with their lamps [bible
understandings].
5 But [on account - epi] of the delaying [genitive]
bridegroom [genitive,
due to implied preposition - epi used
causally][Jesus, through his wife ], they all
nodded and went to sleep.
6 But cry
arose of middle of
night [2008Ab7],
'Look!, the bridegroom [The
LWs put out a big cry on this their true 2nd Jubilee day that Jesus was
descended in the wilderness and that fire from the heavens was going to come]! Be on your way out into [the]
meeting [join
the congregation of the LWs].'
7 Then all those virgins rose
[regained their 1AC baptism]
and put their
lamps
[bible understandings]
in order.
8 The foolish [ones] said to the
discreet [ones], 'Give us [some] out of [ek] your oil
[personal research], because our
lamps [bible
understandings] are about to go out.'
9 The discreet answered saying: 'Perhaps
there may not be quite enough for us and you [we
are fleeing to the mountains, not returing to the house]. Be on your way, instead, to those
who sell it and buy for yourselves.'
10 While they were going off to buy, the
bridegroom
arrived [Jesus arrived through
his wife, his flesh into the LWs on 2008Heshvan7, when the veil is lifted.], and the ready [ones] went in with him to the marriage-feast
[of the lamb. They do not
enter into the bridal chamber. But they go into the feast from 2008Heshvan14 to 2008Heshvan28, the late
passover and late double cakes of Hezekiah];
and the door [to
acceptance of 1NC reserve kings] was shut [perhaps
on 2008Heshvan28, or perhaps on 2008Chislev7, in accordance with the 90 days of
Daniel6 and the cloud rising in the west with the south wind and the heatwave].
11 Afterwards the remaining virgins also came,
saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!' [Accept
us as a Lord, in Chislev and Tebbeth up to 2008Tebbeth6, the end of the LW water
baptism]
12 In answer he said, 'I tell you the truth, I do
not know you.'
13 Keep on the watch, therefore, because you know
neither the day [the
time of the end from 2008Iyyar7 to 2009Iyyar6] nor the hour (Matthew 25).
Midnight is 90 days after 2008Iyyar7, i.e. 2008Ab7, the second Jubilee day of the LWs. We really though the the first birth pang would happen on that day. We put out the cry that he had come into the wilderness already and that he would come on the cloud of the first birth pang on 2008Ab7 - we were wrong about the latter, but we put out the cry nonetheless!
