10 Virgins and the Bridegroom

In Matthew 25:1-13 Jesus tells the parable of 10 virgins waiting for the return of their bridegroom. As it turns out, five of the virgins are ready and five are not when the bridegroom returns. The bridegroom departs with the five who are ready and leaves the other five behind.

The story represents the imminent return of Jesus to reclaim his bride at the end of the age--the Lord's second coming. The recent events in our nation have made me realize that we are clearly in the last days.

This blog is my attempt to chronicle my thoughts during this time.
