Who are the Ten Virgins?

Sometimes it is so hard to remember CONTEXT, CONTEXT, CONTEXT; I hope this teaching will clear up any confusion over the parable of the Ten Virgins.  We all must remember to keep scripture in context.  Who is speaking, to whom are they speaking, what time frames are involved and what is the subject matter, are the key points for context.  I get scripture wrong so many times by making this mistake!

Entering the Gates and Courts of God

Image
Psalm 100 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. 2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. Where are the gates and courts of God? When I was a young woman we used to sing this Psalm during praise and worship. It was such a wonderful experience to sing God's word back to Him. So, all my life I thought that the gates and courts of God were in a heavenly place and that spiritually speaking I would enter to praise and make supplication/pray to God. Lately, though I have gotten into the habit of saying that 4th verse of the 100th Psalm before my personal devotions and prayer time. Then I begin to ponde...

Pact with the Devil? Null and Void!! How?

Image
Have you made a pact with the Devil? Now you have decided you really don't want to forfeit your immortal soul for temporary things. The old adage you can't take it with you when you go has become up close and personal. The truth is you are an eternal being and no, you can't take it with you when you go. Maybe whatever it is you traded your soul for has turned to ash in your mouth and a burden on your existence. Perhaps you were convinced that there would never be a way out for you. There is a way out and that is the discussion of this blog. First, you must understand what you were dealing with when you made your pact. Satan or an agent of Satan, whether human or a non-human entity, would probably have been the conduit through which your pact was made. The Bible is very clear on one thing Satan is a liar. John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your fahter ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, be...

A Woman Rides the Beast in "twilight"

Image
There are two scenes in the "Twilight" movie that I considered to be absurd. Both were when Edward threw Bella on his back and moved at lightning speed. I also wondered at the scene in "New Moon" in Volterra the signifigance of all the scarlett robes and later Edward dons a red robe of his own. It came to me this morning that what I was seeing was the symbology for the woman of Revelation who rides the beast. Revelation 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. We are told in the next two verses who that woman is Revelation 17:4-5 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: and upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIO...
