1 "Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.2 "Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.3 "For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them,4 but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps.5 "Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep.6 "But at midnight there was a shout, 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.

Matt 25:1-6 (NASB)

Another thought came to me after my last post which might help explain this parable more fully. If you take all the incredible possible Rature dates over the past year(s) along with the words, visions, etc. that have been given; could they collectively be the 'shout' in vs. 6? The shout that those walking in the Spirit keep hearing and understanding, but a shout that those foolish ones who also hear, can't quite grasp or accept? And the ONLY answer we can give them is to please, please , please go procure oil for yourselves before it's too late.?
