THE 10 VIRGINS AND THE TRIBULATION PERIOD

Matthew 25:9-12, 7:23 says “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. [10] 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. [11] Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. [12] But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not…Matthew 7:23 says “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

In order to see what is happening here, I attached Matthew 7 to give context to this passage. It is clear that the five foolish virgins receive the mark of the beast because they go to them that buy and sell in an endtime scenario: Revelation 13:17 says “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” While they are the ones who prosper through getting deceived from receiving the mark in the tribulation, the wise virgins stocked up and will NOT be trading with the beast system. The foolish virgins here will be shut out when the Groom (Yeshua returns). But notice the verse that proceeds verse 23 in Matthew chapter 7: Matthew 7:22 says “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?”
