The strict application is Jewish and refers to when Christ comes "with His saints" to set up His Kingdom and punish the nations. The virgins are professing Jewish disciples. In the midst of the great Tribulation, the mid-night cry will be raised.

This can also be applied to Christians. The parable is a warning of the "Rapture" which precedes the "Revelation." The lamp is a type of God's Word and the oil of the Holy Spirit. The two classes distinguish between Possessors of Christianity and Professors of it.

Whichever application you prefer the message is the same: be ready!

What does the story of the parable of the ten virgins tell us about?

Jesus said that He spoke in parables to hide the meaning from the self-righteous but to make known the mystery of the kingdom to His own. There is something special about the Parable of the Ten Virgins that many might. He wanted to hide its meaning to those who thought they had a special relationship with God because of their being the children of Abraham but Jesus never taught about salvation belonging to a race but about salvation being about grace. Even so, "They answered him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing the works Abraham" (John 8:39) "And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham" (Matt 3:9). Making them even angrier Jesus said "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires" (John 8:44). Jesus always spoke the truth but they were blinded and again, that is part of the reason that Jesus spoke to them in parables like the Parable of the 10 Virgins, so here is a personal view of this parable that you may have a different opinion on and if so, please chime in on what you think this parable means.


Which parable is more well known The Unfaithful Servant or The parable of the wise and foolish virgins?

I would sugest that the parable of the Wise and Foolish virgins. I say this because it deals with those who were not ready when Christ comes again. The unfaithful servant deals only with the reponsibility of missionary work. Though both are important I think that being ready for when Christ comes is the most important. In actual fact the first includes the second.

What are the example of spiritual values?

The Bible provides many examples of values. From a Christian perspective, values can be broken into two classes, material values and spiritual values. Material values focus totally on things like sex, food, shelter, and love of money. Spiritual values focus on ideals such as truth, love, faith, and righteousness. The Bible has many parables addressing material and spiritual values. The parable of the Rich Fool teaches us God's position on people valuing material things over the spiritual things of God. The parable of the Ten Virgins teaches us the importance of putting our spiritual beliefs and values into action. Just "talking the talk" will not fool God on what you really value in life. The parable of the Talents also teaches us to seek and act on our spiritual values. God will give increase to the diligent, but will take away from the slothful and uncommitted. See below for several examples of values from the Bible. Key Bible Verses: 1 Corinthians 2:14, Luke 12:20: Parable of the Rich Fool ..., Matthew 25:13: Parable of the Ten Virgins ... and Matthew 25:29: Parable of the Talents
