"He who has an ear, let him hear. 10 virgins."


Some will agree with this post, as other verses in Bible that start with the heading "He who has an ear...", but the majority will reject. They will read but not see.
 
Why does Jesus start with that kind of opening remark? Because only a few will receive his teaching and act accordingly. He knew most will not understand, harden their heart, and reject.
 
 
The parable of 10 virgins is in line with the warning given to 7 churches in the book of revelation. These are the churches, mind you, and the message is clear.
 
Jesus lays out the warning and the consequence if not act according to his warning.
 
 
What are the warning and the consequence?
 
 
Warning: Repent and turn away from the ways of sin. Hold fast to the faith and live accordingly.
 
Consequence: No salvation. One of the consequences laid out in the revelation is removal of one's name from the book of life. If one's name is not in the book of life, he will go to the lake of fire.
 
 
Now, do you agree with this? I know some do but only a few. Most will reject.
 
 
Before it's too late, consecrate your hearts to Jesus and live for the kingdom and his righteousness, not for the world and its values- the Satan's values (fame, greed, sexual immorality, etc) Don't just believe Jesus is the son of God, but let him inside you and walk with him for his purpose.
 
Give your lives to Jesus and live according to his words, and clean your hands before his coming, that is, abandon private sins such as viewing pornography, stop slandering and lying, Christians,
 
 
or you will be spewed out, your lamps will be removed, he will fight against you with the sword from his mouth when he returns, and your name will be removed from the book of life.
 
 
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Revelation 2:29
 
 
p.s, Some are blinds who lead the blinds to the hole. Some of them will be saved because they lived according to Jesus' word although they taught wrong doctrines thus leading many to the hole. They honestly believed what they believed so God might not judge them for their wrong teachings, for letting their followers fall from salvation. But those teachers who dilute their teaching because of their greed, their greater love for their church than the truth and souls of people, woe to them.
