The Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25 teaches us that about half of all the brides, biblical Christians, are not going to be ready for the return of the bridegroom, Christ. Their oil, or wisdom of the bible is going to be lacking. The first thought will be to run to the merchant or paid preacher, but he won’t know any more than they do. He has been teaching what he was taught, a failed Christ, a God who broke His promises and went off after some other bride known as Gentiles.
The world is upside down, not the Kingdom of God. God through His prophets and Word made many promises to a real physical people. God has kept every promise.
The world teaches about some people who call themselves Jews who hate Christ and some second choice people who will leave this world and let those who hate Christ have the world. It is everything those who hate Christ want. None of this is what the bible teaches. The English translations have been slowly modified over the years to support the world’s view.
In the Hebrew and Greek there is unity of faith and doctrine. Scripture shows us that God loves His bride so much that He came and died for her sins. As promised to King David, God moved His bride to a new promised land. She has followed Christ and heard His voice for the last almost 2000 years as Christ said. As scripture teaches, she is the true physical Israel. God did not change brides between covenants.
If you want to be a better prepared bride in waiting for the bridegroom then follow Christ’s commands. There are nine verses that teach this and two of them tie it to faith in Christ.
John 14:15 “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”
Hebrews 10:16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them”.
Christ is God. God is also Christ. They are one God. God’s commandments are Christ’s commandments.
Isaiah 43:11 “I, I am Yahweh; and beside me there is no savior.”
John 10:30 “I and my Father are one.”
The modern day Jews are not, and have never been, God’s Israel people as proven by the bible, history and even Jewish writings.
