(Matthew 25: 1-12)


(Matthew 25: 1-12)

『Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.  And five 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 in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto 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: 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 ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.』

The five foolish virgins represent those who have not entered the kingdom of God because they have not entered the feast of heaven. The reason for not entering heaven is because of sin. To enter the Bible into heaven, we must know Jesus and be united with Jesus.

『For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.』(John 3:16)『And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 』  (John 6: 39-40) 『Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 』 (Matthew 7:21)

The ten virgins all fell asleep. It is not a matter of hard work and hard work in the church. "Do not sleep, stay awake" does not mean "don't be lazy" in the work of the church. It is not to enter heaven, even though he was a prophet in the name of the Lord, cast out demons in the name of the Lord, and did great power in the name of the Lord.

『And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 』 (Matthew 7:23) The five foolish girls awoke to the news that the bridegroom was coming, and the oil ran out. They said to the five wise virgins, "Lend me your oil," said the wise five virgins: We also lack oil. he said. "Go to the seller and go away". So the five foolish virgins went to buy oil and came back, the door was closed. The five foolish virgins asked to open the door, and Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, I know not you.

The reason why the five foolish virgins failed to enter the marriage feast was "Jesus does not know."The foolish five virgins know Jesus, but Jesus does not know the foolish five virgins. Jesus must know me to enter heaven. "The Israelites offered sacrifices and sacrifices to God in the wilderness for 40 years, rebuked by the prophet Amos. 『I never received it』

『Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. 』 (Matthew 10: 32-33)

The foolish five virgins recognized Jesus before the people. But Jesus said they did not know them. The ten virgins only claim to know Jesus. The reason for Jesus' second coming is to "come to take those who wait for him." So Jesus knows who to take. The foolish five virgins are not the ones to be taken. There is no focus on what the foolish virgin is thinking and what Jesus is saying.

"Awake" means that the law (the law of wrath) is to be removed, to know Jesus Christ. This Bible statement applies to everyone, but in reality God speaks to Israel. To point out that it is still under the law. The five foolish virgins are under the law: "They do not know Jesus Christ."

『But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,』 (Galatians 4: 4). Jesus came to the world to redeem those under the law. But what is still under the law is to deny what Jesus did.

Jesus said to those who exercised great power, "Illegal men," because of the law, "the law that is applied is not right." Those who do the law must apply it, and those who believe in Jesus must apply the law of the Holy Spirit. However, it is illegal for those who practice the law to apply to the law of the Holy Spirit. And "the one who is subject to the law" does not obey the law, so it is illegal for the law. If people believe in Jesus and are eager to keep the law, they will be doing the wrongs that Jesus speaks of.

To be free from the law, you must die on the cross with Jesus Christ. To die with Jesus on the cross is to die to the law, to sin, to the world. Everything that appears in the flesh must die with Jesus. And just as Jesus was resurrected in three days, so those who are in Jesus Christ are born again in new life from heaven. It is not under the law, but under the law of the Holy Spirit.

Those who are led by the Holy Spirit are "in union with Jesus, in Jesus." The body under the Holy Spirit is the body of the spirit. And the body under the law is the body of the flesh. Therefore, you must deny the body of flesh and live only in the body of the spirit and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Although flesh is alive in this world, the way to control it is to confess day after day that we are dead with Jesus. Salvation has no other way than to die on the cross with Jesus. This is the way and the life. There is no salvation except to die on the cross with Jesus Christ.

Those who seek to apply the law in this world do not have the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we must know exactly what the Bible says about the law. Those who do not have the Holy Spirit do not know Jesus. Only those who have the Holy Spirit know Jesus. Those who have the Holy Spirit must believe in "dying with Jesus and living with Jesus." But those who do not admit to dying are not "in union with Jesus." To believe in dying to the law, dying for sin, and dying for the world is to die on the cross in union with Jesus.

Matthew 2:7-11

(Matthew 2:7-11) Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.   When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. In ancient times, gold, frankincense, and myrrh were mainly offerings to kings or gods. Biblical scholars say, "In 243 BC, the offerings of Seleucus II Callinicus dedicated to the Temple of Apollo in Miletus included gold, fra...

  (Matthew 2:1-6) Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,   Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. (Matthew 2:1-6) Jesus came down to the earth according to the prophecy of the Old Testament 『 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler ...

Matthew 2:12-15

(Matthew 2:12-15) And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.   And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:   And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. "It might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son." The prophet quoted by Matthew is Hosea. In Hosea 11:1 My son means a young Israeli community. It is to tell how God called the Israelites from Egypt in the past to "Israel apostate through Baal." “ Called ou...
