and to every man his work, and commanded the porter

when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon…

you as a thief.

Matt 25:1-13 “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps,
and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five…
Matt 25:1-13 …of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were
foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
But the wise took oil…
Matt 25:1-13 …in their vessels with their lamps.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight
there was a cry made…
Matt 25:1-13 …Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And
the foolish said unto…
Matt 25:1-13 …the wise, Give us of your oil; for our
lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying,
Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you…
Matt 25:1-13 …but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to
buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were…
Matt 25:1-13 …ready went in with him to the
marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came
also the other virgins, saying…
Matt 25:1-13 …Lord, Lord, open to us. But he
answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you
not. …

not purposely intend there light to go out.
2 Cor 4:6-7 “For God, who commanded the light to
shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to
give the light of the knowledge of the glory…

and not of us”
Prov 23:7 “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not
