10 VIRGINS - THE MESSIAH!

Posted by How fulfilled [Bibleman] on October 28, 1999 at 08:39:09 {BrTq3yWfsYMRXA6xmpscslyACFuF8c}:

This is the simple fulfillment without explanation of how this particular parable was fulfilled.

The "ten virgins" represent the first and second-hour workers in the Matthew 20 parable of the vineyard. That is, those workers who knew in advance that they would receive a "penny." Within the vineyards workers organization, which is Jehovah's Witnesss, these would be those who call themselves "anointed remnant" among those who first came into the work around 1914.

Of note, though, other workers get the "penny" meaning heavenly life, but they get this "sealing" before the first-hour workers.

So think in terms of three different phases of the anointing process. We can call them "choosing", "anointing" and "sealing."

Thus the first-hour workers were "chosen" and then "anointed" which means they KNEW they were of the anointed. But they had to remain faithful before they were "sealed" and that would not happen until at the end of that generation of work when the Messiah arrived to pay/seal them.

But the third, sixth, ninth, and 11th-hour workers within the organization were only "chosen" but not "anointed" as the first-hour workers were. Thus those chosen, they did NOT know they would be entitled to the heavenly hope, the "penny."

This is the scriptural basis for the "two-class" system within JWs. Please note 1) There are two classes. Those who know ahead of time they will get the penny and those who don't. And 2) The ones who know are the first ones to come into the work. This fits the Witness organization, since generally, the first ones associated were all anointed ones until around 1935 when the "other sheep" class was formally recognized. If you break up the 11 hours into 70 years, the 3rd hour workers at 21 years after 1914 would be first recognized in 1935 (1914+21=1935).

So in the case of the "great crowd" they are "chosen" first, but not "anointed" (told they are chosen). Thus their "anointing" and "sealing" happens at the same time after the Messiah arrives.

Okay. So the "ten virgins" are the early anointed ones. Please note, however, that they are SEALED last.
Please note that they are "nodding" which means the Bible says they would not have enough spiritual insight regarding when the Messiah would arrive or in what manner he would arrive. This was by arrangement. The darkening of the sun (=Messiah) and moon (=anointed remnant) would occur right after the tribulation up until the Messiah would arrive.

That just means that the Messiah who must come in the flesh and be tested as an imperfect man at the second coming would not know he was the Messiah until it actually occurred, and of course the anointed remnant would not know about this process as it was going on. The Messiah appears in the flesh at the Second Coming by acquiring the identity of one of his imperfect followers to gain knowledge of imperfection at the Second Coming.

At any rate, this SUDDEN ANNOUNCEMENT that the Messiah had arrived was the announcement at H20 as to who the Messiah allegedly was and in what manner he would had arrived.

This is where the foolish and wise virgins get separated. The announcement basically indicated that the Messiah had arrived in 1992 and had to fulfill the Parable of the "Prodigal Son."

The "wise virgins" those with more focus on Biblical truth, understanding of Biblical hidden meanings, etc. would recognize that the reference to the "robe" and the "ring" being given to the Prodigal Son when he arrives made this a Messianic prophecy. And they would research further to confirm the second coming in the imperfect flesh, primarily recognizing this was prophesied by the two "wave offerings" during Passover/Pentecost; the first being WITHOUT LEAVEN (Christ's first coming in sinlessness) and one WITH LEAVEN (meaning his Second Coming in imperfection and sinfulness).

Thus they having the added Biblical understanding, they would accept this new and challenging doctrine and then get into the kingdom and accept who the Messiah was based upon the information they provided, but primarily the Bible's requirement that the Messiah return in the flesh as the Prodigal Son, and specifically in 1992.

But the foolish virgins, still holding onto old ideas about an invisible PAROUSIA, not understanding what the "great tribulation" was all about and having the wrong date for the "end of the gentile times" in 1914, would reject the idea of this Prodigal Son Messiah. But it would not be because the Bible didn't provide for this understanding, but because they relied too much upon their own Watchtower false teachings.

Thus the wise and foolish virgins then separated.

So that specific event that occurred, involved a PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT regarding the Messiah. Basically, though, the Messiah only appears in private to his own anointed ones who function primarily in the "wilderness", "out of the sight off the dragon." That is, the womanly organization which produces the kingdom would be set up as a secret, underground organization that the world and the WTS (ten virgins) would not be aware of up until the public announcement.

So this sudden CALL IN THE NIGHT OF "THE MESSIAH!" was that announcement made during the week of the Festival of Booths (quite appropriately) in the fall of 1998.

Those wise virgins who trimmed their lamps, got rid of old ideas, woke up and accessed the Biblical reality of the Messiah's second coming in 1992 in the flesh, therefore, successfully got into the banquet where the Messiah was gathered. They did this by accepting the Prodigal Son doctrine of the Messiah.

But the foolish virgins would find this too hard to believe and thus their lamps went out. They didn't have enough oil or faith in scripture to trust this understanding. But at this point, the two groups were SEPARATED! And at this point, the wise virgins who did get into the secret kingdom, stopped communicating with the foolish virgins! They told them, "We may not have enough for ourselves, go buy from those who sell oil..."

So Jehovah separated the wise from the foolish virgins at this point. And that means the wise virgins, who did accept the Messiah, would not be instructing the foolish virgins about their acceptance. In fact, they would now be in two separate spiritual groups.

This fulfills how the Messiah would separate the wheat from the weeds. In this case, the weeds were the doubting, non-Biblical foolish virgins. The wheat, were those Bibically oriented anointed ones who had by now, pretty much began to understand they had to check everything out from the WTS since it was not always true. 1975 a perfect example. Once they examined the scriptures directly, without Watchtower influence, then they were able to pass over in the JIOR.

And that happened from the fall of 1998 until the fall of 1999. The fall of 1999 may have been an absolute cut-off for that invitation. But if there was an extension, those who feel they are of the anointed need to access the SCRIPTURES and understand the nature of the Second Coming.

If you can't accept that the Prodigal Son parable is prophetic of the Messiah, it will not be possible for you to get into the banquet.

On the other hand, the Bible does indicate that some approved anointed ones who are part of the older brother organization, would not lose their crown. As we see in the parable of the Prodigal Son, the father comes out and comforts the older brother who refuses to go into the banquet and tells him, "what is mine is yours." So there will be some anointed ones who will actually remain outside the private banquet of the Messiah's homecoming and wedding feast. That is, until the Millennium begins when the physical circumstances of separating the two groups and the Bride Class maintaining secrecy will no longer be necessary.

RECAP:

The "ten virgins" are the anointed remnant of JWs. The cry that the "Bridegroom is here!" occurred in the fall of 1998 when a public announcement was made explaining the nature of the Second Coming of the Messiah in 1992 as the "prodigal son." Those hearing about this and accepting it based upon their added understanding of scripture, got to get into the kingdom. Those who found this belief unacceptable because they lacked sufficient Biblical oil in their lamps, were separated from the wise virgins and missed out. When they return after it is all too obvious that the Messiah's advent in 1992 was no haox, it will be too late to get in.

Of note, much of this misunderstanding comes from the wTS' trust in secular records which date the fall of Babylon in 539BCE, upon which they date all their major prophecies including the EOGT in 1914 and the fall of Jerusalem in 607BCE. The actual date for the fall of Jerusalem, now confirmed absolutely by independent astronomical records, which is the only method of absolute dating was in 529BCE. That means the EOGT must occur in 1992 and not 1914.

The Messiah comes near the END of a generation beginning in 1914. 1992 is near the end of that generation that ends in 1994. The Bible clearly says that the "end" would take place before that generation ran out. The "end of the system of things" being mentioned was the "end of the appointed times of the nations" not the end of the world (Armageddon). The END occurs when the Messiah arrives. So that is fulfilled since 1992 occurred before that generation ran out in 1994.

So all is well. All works out perfectly. And while the WTS is wrong about a lot of things, the Bible is true!
Absolutely true!
