Parable of The 10 Virgins. Dr. Andy Woods.

 Dr. Andy Woods: What's happening in Matthew 25:1-13 is the rapture of the church has already taken place at least seven years earlier. What is happening here is the division between believing and unbelieving Israel at the end of the tribulation period. That's the distinction between the wise and The unwise Virgins.

It's the play out of Zechariah 13: 8-9 or there's going to be a separation between one third and two-thirds! One Third, the believing remnant. Two Thirds, the unbelievers in Israel at the end of the tribulation period. You'll also see a separation between believing and unbelieving Israel at the end of the tribulation period in Ezekiel 20:33-38.

Basically what is happening is the Lord is returning at the end of the tribulation period and he's separating or leaving from unbelieving Israel just as he's going to be separating the sheep and the goats among the Gentiles at the end of the Tribulation. He's separating believing from unbelieving Israel in fulfillment of Zechariah 13 8-9. Ezekiel 20:33-38 and believing Israel in their mortal bodies will enter the Millennial Kingdom. Unbelieving Israel will be cast off the earth into judgment so that's the context of this parable of the virgins. (Matthew 25:1-13).

Church is Bride of Christ. We arn’t Bridesmaids? Read 2 Cor 11:2! The Bridegroom isn't coming from Heaven to meet the Bridesmaids in the clouds. He is meeting them on Earth? How is this a Rapture passage? Watching or being awake is not a criteria for the Rapture. Here all the bridesmaids were all asleep? Then all should be disqualified! We are all saved by Grace Through Faith and  we all baptized into one body. 1 Corinthians 12:13.
