What does the oil represent?[1]
Why did the foolish virgin run short on oil?
Where or how or what do they do to get more of this oil? : The goal is the kingdom of God which requires the righteousness of God which you can only find through the tree of life which is the Holy Spirit as opposed to the tree of knowledge which can produce many other spirits often not so Holy nor righteous.
People go to denominational churches to get something. They identify that as fellowship.
What we need is fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Then when we gather we will have something to give and share(light from the oil in our lamp) rather than just be looking for something to get.
Foolish Virgins
Of the ten virgins some trimmed their wicks and made sure they worked to have a supply of oil.[1] Oil provides light but oil was also for anointing and means the same as the word "Christ" and "Messiah".
The foolish virgins may have kept themselves separate, pure, virgins from the World as Christ commanded but they squandered their oil using it up so there was not enough when they needed it.
Many people do the same with the oil of their life which God gives them. They take pride in being separate but they do not love one another, serve one another, feed His sheep and of course attend to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith
The Foolish virgins might have taken back their responsibility for themselves by seeking to be separate from the world. But if they have also forsaken the gathering together for the purpose of Christ they are truly foolish. Jesus came into the world so that the peop,e of the world might be saved. If anyone fails to gather together so that at least their neighbor might be saved not just themselves.
In Acts we see the Early Church rightly dividing bread from house to house. They were only able to do so in their daily ministration because they were gathering in family groups of Tens.
Those local networks gathered in larger and larger networks so that men like Paul new where to go and who to help how to do so effeciently.
The early Christians formed a Faith Emergency Ministry Auxiliary through the Church appointed by Christ. These ministers were called out and appointed by Christ serve those who sought to follow the way of Christ.
Because they lived in the world and not of the world and made themselves separate they were able to institute Seven men to wait on the needs of the people through the tables of Christ.[2]
All this was possible because the followers of Christ were not a scattered flock and there was no place among them for the foolish virgins.[3]
Mendicant fools
They might be like monks and priests hiding in monasteries that think they are holy but they bear no fruit. Or they might be like the separatists who do not seek the world for its benefits. They might not look to the Benefactors of the World but they fail to become the Benefactors of Christ's appointed Kingdom of God who are servants based on love. They professed Christ with their lips but were not like His Church and are not "with us".
His Holy Church is a phrase describing what Christ appointed.
- Church is from the word called out assembly.
- Holy means separate,
- His is a reference to Christ who is a foreign prince who appointed a government to His ministers.
They were to run it without exercising authority but by keeping themselves separate from the World.
When he told them to be separate from the World, he used the word meaning constitutional order and system of government.
To be a minister of that government of God you cannot be a member of a benefit system run by men who exercise authority one over the other. Due to changes in their laws, ministers who have no numbered membership often are not allowed to get licenses or IDs from those governments. They also cannot take oaths that renounce all princes[4] because that would mean they must renounce Christ and they cannot do that and remain His faithful Ministers.
The Church is separate from the state and even separate from the people in its purposes as the ministers of Christ. Because of the abuses of some men who claimed to be the ministers of Christ, the separate role of His ministers is often rejected by Modern Christians.
Matthew 25:1 "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
