Today's Verse:
kjv@Matthew:25:1 kjv@Matthew:25:2 kjv@Matthew:25:3 kjv@Matthew:25:4 kjv@Matthew:25:5 kjv@Matthew:25:6 kjv@Matthew:25:7 kjv@Matthew:25:8 kjv@Matthew:25:9 kjv@Matthew:25:10 kjv@Matthew:25:11 kjv@Matthew:25:12 kjv@Matthew:25:13 Lamp is often symbolic of the word of God (kjv@Psalms:119:105 kjv@Proverbs:6:23), oil as a anointing (filter:OT oil+AND+anoint ). If both arrive with the word, also an initial measure of the anointing, the initial measure may not last the duration of the delay. The half have received or are receiving an additional measure not apparent to the others. Note that there is no alarm in either as they slept until the call was sent out. As Jesus is the Word and the boundless anointing it appears that the others held to the word symbolically and had no idea where to come up with what they felt that they lacked when the time finally came. The focus for them has become their lack not the arrival. Many see faith as the primary element and the duration as the point being made. There is also mention of seven lamps (kjv@Revelation:4:5) in the end times which are seven Spirits (Churches) of God. There is mention of the children of Israel being responsible to keep the lamp in the temple burning with oil (kjv@Exodus:27:20 kjv@Leviticus:24:2). The interesting thing is that if the wise were to share part of theirs (what ever it is) neither wise nor fool would have enough. This leads me to believe that the message point is closer to the topic of righteousness. If either group was to rely on their own either would be fools. If one were to rely on the others then they would really be foolish. If the other was to offer theirs to those without then they would no longer be relying on the Lord's themselves and be offering only false hope. It is either the Lord's righteousness of no righteousness at all. Further Resources: Comment Board:Matthew:25:1-13
