Only one flaw in this theory, Kay
~ and that is ALL the virgins HAD oil & their lamps burning at one
time!!
Matt 25:8 And the foolish
said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going
out.’ [Lamps cannot GO OUT
if they were not burning at some point!!]
A comment on one other thing you
wrote: The Church was watching for
Him, and went into the marriage, while Israel knew not the time of Her visitation.
I wonder ~ does v. 1 not
show that they were ALL *watching* for Him? ten virgins who took their
lamps and went out to meet the
bridegroom. Going out to meet Him -- isn't this the
same AS watching??
I'm honestly not trying to poke
holes in your theory.
I have to just silently smile to
myself whenever the 10 virgin parable debate comes up -- as I know EVERYONE has
a different take on it..... and it's one that I expect will be debated from now
till..... well, at least till the rapture!!

Titus 2
13 Looking for that
blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus
Christ;
The rapture is a blessed hope to the Christian. Watching for and
expecting the rapture is a blessed hope that encourages a person to stay close
to the Lord. A person watching daily for the rapture will go on with life but be
constantly looking for the return of the Lord each day. This blessed hope also
has a purifying effect. A person will not get caught up in worldliness or wrong
things if he thinks His Lord could come back at any moment. ~ Alan
