Giannis's Matthew Chapter 25 comment about verse 34 on 1/08/2023, 4:28pm...

Hello Eaganstjohn

Since you mention the "oil", then you are refering to the parable of the 5 wise and the 5 unwise virgins.(Matthew 25:1-12)..

Firstly I must say that I have never heard something like what your pastor teaches about that.

The explanation depends on what one believes, i.e. whether salvation can be lost or not.

I am going to speak on behalf of those who believe that salvation is not secured until our final departure from this life. For the other case I will leave it to somebody else to answer.

Again there are two cases:

1. The rupture of the church occurs before antichrist makes his appearance on earth. In this case the 5 unwise virgins are left out of the rapture and have to go through the great tribulation. So their fate (salvation) depends on their decision to receive the beast's mark or not. (This is my belief as well).

2. Rapture occurs at the very end of antichrist's reign on earth. In this case the 5 unwise virgins are left out of the Marriage, that is they loose their salvation.

Matthew 25:31-46 is refering to the final judgement. In this case the "not doers of His Word" (the slothful servants) are heading to hell, (verse 41) "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:"

GBU

Added to my first comment:

Yet I have found no other Preacher preaching on this.
