WHO THE FOOLISH VIRGINS ARE, AND WHY YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ONE!

In this short article, it is my aim to show that only believers that are BORN-AGAIN and sanctified by the Holy Spirit's internal and external action in their minds, spirits and lives can be classified as one of the Wise Virgins. These are the sanctified saints in the Church, or those who are saved, chosen and safely grasped in the Father's Hand. These lovers of Yahshua and His Word work tirelessly for Him as His servants. They also have a loving and active relationship with Yahshua via His Spirit.

These saints are the only ones that were chosen for salvation by God the Father from before the foundation of the world because they are faithful to Yahshua and His Word to the end of their lives, or until the Rapture. Because they are or were faithful to God until the end, they can therefore be classified as being among the Wise Virgins in Yahshua's Parable of the Ten Virgins. Since parables are deeply couched in symbols that contain hidden meaning, Yahshua anticipated needing a clarification of the meaning of this parable when He said:

~*~ Matthew 7:21-23 (NKJV) ~*~

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”

So, in Matthew 7, Yahshua tells us that there are believers out there who use their spiritual gifts in inappropriate, self-directed ways, perhaps as an allusion to preachers like Benny Hinn, who seem to sensationalize the gifts of the Spirit as if they were some kind of Carnival act. It could also be suggesting that the spiritual energy these believers were using to perform "miracles" that were attributed to Yahweh God were not of God at all, but that they were the counterfeit miracles of the Devil. This same exact idea was beautifully expressed by our Messiah Yahshua when He told His disciples the Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew Chapter 25:

~*~ Matthew 25:1-13 (NKJV) ~*~

The Parable of the Ten Virgins

“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.”

In the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins, the virgins are all people within the Church that claim to be followers of Christ, and who are anticipating being taken to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in Heaven at the time of the Rapture. The lamps that the virgins carry signify the spiritual light of each believer that they cultivate while reading the Word of God, praying, and helping others. Because the Foolish Virgin's lamps are "about to go out" as they light them when the Bridegroom is approaching,  it signifies the fact that they are lukewarm believers that were given a saving portion of the Holy Spirit, but have not nurtured the seeds of faith planted in their hearts at the moment that they were saved. Instead, they have ignored their commitment to Christ, and have not been given the oil that signifies the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit.

The fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit can only be given to those who sincerely desire and pray to be transformed into new creations in Christ. The fruits and gifts of the Spirit can be measured by the good works believers do that are Spirit-directed rather than self-directed, and their Spirit-led desire to do good works as a result of the faith is the oil that fills their lamps. Therefore, the parable is telling us that the good works of the Foolish Virgins are not only sparse, but are not being done as a part of God's good and perfect will. So, when the Foolish Virgins ask the Wise Virgins to give them some of their oil, they are actually asking the Wise Virgins to give them their spiritual gifts and fruits! But the Wise Virgins can't give these gifts and fruits, as only Yahshua can do this - and only when we establish a real two-way relationship with Him and His Spirit via prayer and words of knowledge.

The Rapture or "Catching Away" itself is represented in verse 10 by the door that the Virgins must pass through with the Bridegroom to get to the Wedding Banquet. The fact that a committed relationship is missing between Yahshua and the Foolish Virgins is made apparent by His harsh words to them at the closed door - or at the moment of the Rapture when they realize that they have been left behind. This is when the Bridegroom tells them: “Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.” Whenever I read these words, I feel a renewed need to pray that I never hear these words, and will be found worthy to be taken to the Wedding Supper.

In fact, in light of this stern warning of coming divine rejection for a large segment of the Church (potentially every 5 out of 10!), all believers need to pray that they are found worthy of the Rapture, and that God will forgive us all for whatever opportunities we may have missed to be His servants, and to share His light and love in this dark world. If we do this, we can rest in the hope that we will be forgiven, and that we will not hear those harsh words being said to the Foolish Virgins at the moment of the Rapture!

WARNING: NOT ALL BELIEVERS WILL BE TAKEN IN THE RAPTURE!

Click on Image to Enlarge

Many appear to be unaware that salvation from everlasting death through Yahshua (i.e. Jesus) and qualifying for the Rapture as His Bride are two different things. This is because some of those who are saved are saved as though through the fire due to their spiritual waywardness. Furthermore, if these wayward souls do not learn to repent fully and turn away from sin before the Rapture, these believers in Yahshua will NOT be taken in the Rapture, but will be left behind to be spiritually refined in the fires of the Great Tribulation.

There are ample Scriptures to prove this, including the following one, which I think best summarizes how Yahshua is going to judge the Seven Churches of Revelation:

1 Corinthians 3:9-17 ~ "For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. 16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 IF ANYONE DEFILES THE TEMPLE OF GOD, GOD WILL DESTROY HIM. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are."

So, as Temples of the Holy Spirit, believers are called to keep our temples or bodies clean by fleeing from sin and living holy lives. Otherwise we risk being physically destroyed by being removed from God's protection!

Now, looking at the larger picture being painted in the Book of Revelation by the Seven Churches, it is clear that these churches are filled with different types of believers, Of the seven, one is signaled out as so disgusting to Yahshua that He is going to spew them out of His mouth, meaning that they will not be protected from the Tribulation. This is the Laodicean Church, or the one whose description portrays it as a modern "Health and Wealth" or "Name It and Claim It" type of church.

But they are not the only church that Christ is not fully pleased with. In fact, only two groups of believers in these churches or congregations are not criticized for their failures and need for improvement. Furthermore, it is only these two that are signaled out as worthy of great rewards for their faithfulness. One is the Church of Smyrna, which is a church made up of the souls of those who are heavily persecuted for Yahshua's sake, and who become martyrs for the faith.

The second Church, and the only one offered the promise of escape from the Great Tribulation via the Rapture, is the Church of Philadelphia, or Church of Brotherly Love, which is also identified as the Bride of Christ described in Revelation 21. This can be seen by comparing Revelation 3:12 with Revelation 21:2-12. This church is filled with believers who grasp onto Yahshua with all their might, and - although they may have little strength - they refuse to let Him go, and they persevere in their faith through every trial. For this reason, these are the ONLY believers who are deemed fully worthy of the Rapture escape, and only they will be taken when the time comes:

Revelation 3:10-11 ~ "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11 Behold,I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown." 

This Scripture is clear that it is only those in the Church of Philadelphia that are being offered the ability to escape the Hour of Trial, which is the Great Tribulation. Those in the other churches that are lacking - and sadly there are many - WILL BE LEFT BEHIND to be refined as through the fire, just as Paul taught in 1 Corinthians 3. Through the Seven Churches, we are all being warned that those taken in the Rapture are only going to be a select few, and we must all make every effort to be ready when Yahshua comes for us!

This means examining our hearts for their intent, asking Yahweh God for forgiveness where needed and forgiving others, and fully repenting by turning away from sin and weaning out the bad things that the Holy Spirit lets us know that God disapproves of. If believers remember to do this, then they will have no cause to worry that they will be left behind when the Rapture comes.

MARANATHA! GET READY!

YAHSHUA IS COMING VERY SOON!

COMET ISON, VIRGO, AND THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN

By Helena Lehman of the

Pillar of Enoch Ministry

http://pillar-of-enoch.com

This October 8th, 2013 is the third day of the Sign of the Woman Clothed With The Sun, which is a sign that spans a long period of time, as shown in the illustration above. Please study the illustration to understand the prophetic meaning of this sign, and note the three comets that accompany it. 

The first day that the Woman Clothed With The Sun appeared in the heavens was October 6th, and it is ten days long - from October 6th through 16th, 2013. It begins with the Sun in Virgo’s belly, and ends with the Sun aligned with Spica in Virgo, which marks the Virgin’s Birth Canal. At this time, Mars and Comet ISON will be in alignment with the King Star Regulus in Leo. In 3 BC, the Woman Clothed With The Sun signified the birth of the Sun of Righteousness, Yahshua, on the Day of Atonement.

This year, I believe this Sign in Heaven signifies the birth of the One New Man spoken of in Scripture that signifies the Church of all born-again believers. If so, it is possible that the Rapture could be between now and then, though it may only be meant to be a sign that the Bride and Five Virgins now need to be prepared to go to Heaven in the Rapture at any moment - not that the Rapture will happen between now and the 16th. This is partly because Comet ISON seems tied to this sign, and Comet ISON won't be that prominent in Earth's skies until the end of October.

This sign is highly significant because it is greatly similar to the sign that appeared when Yahshua was born in September of 3 BC. See my illustrated article about this here:

THE WOMAN CLOTHED WITH THE SUN

AND THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN

http://pillarofenoch.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-woman-clothed-with-sun-and-sign-of.html

Also, Since the Sun, Moon, stars and planets can be seen around the world, it is a sign that can be seen around the world. Every eye can see it, though they will not recognize it! But I do not think this sign will be immediately followed by the Rapture because it is tied to the Comet ISON, which won’t become readily visible until the end of October.

Together with the Woman Clothed With The Sun, Comet ISON is the Sign of the Son of Man, and this comet will pass through Virgo and Libra this October and November on its way to perihelion with the Sun in Scorpio on November 28th, the first day of Chanukah. At that time, the whole world will be able to see Comet ISON’s tail, and it will be like the Star of Bethlehem, leading people to MOURN and worship the King of kings. See my illustrated article about the three comets that are tied to the Woman Clothed with the Sun this October for more:

Three Comets, Chanukah 2013,

And The Sign of the Son of Man

http://pillarofenoch.blogspot.com/2013/09/three-comets-chanukah-2013-and-sign-of.html

Because ISON is a big comet, its tail will be enormous, and if it survives its trip around the Sun, it will cut through the most wicked signs in the heavens as a symbol of the blow that God will deliver to Satan’s head or plans with the Rapture and Great Tribulation, or time of Jacob’s Trouble, which is being marked in the heavens by the Four Blood Moons on Jewish Feasts in 2014 and 2015. Therefore, if the Rapture is a PRE-WRATH event, it MUST occur sometime before Sixth Seal is opened, as the Fifth Seal tied to Martyrdom has already been opened!

See my illustrated article about the Sign of the Nova in Delphinus and its connection to the Sign of Jonah linked to below for more about the sign of the Fifth Seal, and see the Three Comet article listed above for more about how the Sixth Seal is tied to the unleashing of the Wrath of God:

THE STAR GOSPEL SURROUNDING

THE NEW NOVA IN CAPRICORN -

http://pillarofenoch.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-star-gospel-surrounding-new-nova-in.html

Just a couple of notes of caution here before I close: 

I received a Word from God (CLICK HERE TO READ IT) that we would have to see Israel conquer her enemies first and then the Rapture would come. I know this is going to take place soon. The Rapture will be a huge blow to Satan’s plans because it will get many people among the Foolish Virgins to wake up and realize that they were LEFT BEHIND, and this will put a huge dent in the Illuminati’s plans to take over the world for Satan. In the meantime, we need to be ready to leave at any time, because our Bridegroom is coming! Soon the Shofar will sound around the world, and we will be changed in the twinkling of an eye, and will be lifted up to Heaven to be with Yahshua forever.

I also wanted to warn you all about the Strong Delusion mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2:10-13. I think this may be referring to the Fallen Angels re-appearing to claim that they created intelligent life on Earth and that they are the source of all the world’s religious myths, thereby pushing the Bible into the realm of myth. In this way, they will facilitate the One World Religion of the Antichrist.

I believe that the Fallen Ones will come right after the Rapture, and they will claim that they made the Rapture happen to get rid of the spiritually inadequate people that could hold the world back from moving forward due to their “negativity”. I also think that the War in Heaven is going on right now, and that is why there has been such an increase in meteor sightings - the fallen ones are represented by the meteors getting through the Earth's atmosphere. They are being thrown down and the Strong Delusion is coming. That is why the Rapture has to be soon!

Maranatha, My Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

Yahshua is coming VERY, VERY SOON!
