PARABLE OF THE TEN VIRGINS. (Mat 25:1-13) Then--at the time referred to at the close of the preceding chapter, the time of the Lord's Second Coming to reward His faithful servants and take vengeance on the faithless. Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom--This supplies a key to the parable, whose object is, in the main, the same as that of the last parable--to illustrate the vigilant and expectant attitude of faith, in respect of which believers are described as "they that look for Him" (Heb 9:28), and "love His appearing" (Ti2 4:8). In the last parable it was that of servants waiting for their absent Lord; in this it is that of virgin attendants on a Bride, whose duty it was to go forth at night with lamps, and be ready on the appearance of the Bridegroom to conduct the Bride to his house, and go in with him to the marriage. This entire and beautiful change of figure brings out the lesson of the former parable in quite a new light. But let it be observed that, just as in the parable of the Marriage Supper, so in this--the Bride does not come into view at all in this parable; the Virgins and the Bridegroom holding forth all the intended instruction: nor could believers be represented both as Bride and Bridal Attendants without incongruity.

Others view the chapter as a prediction of the events of AD 70, when Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed by the Romans. Others believe it refers to both. See also study notes on Mark 13. 24:1 The architecture of the Temple was a source of pride among Jews—see study note on Mark 13:1.

وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَلْ رَأَيْتَ مَا هُمْ عَامِلُونَ؟ الرَّجَاسَاتِ الْعَظِيمَةَ الَّتِي بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَامِلُهَا هُنَا لإِبْعَادِي عَنْ مَقْدِسِي. وَبَعْدُ تَعُودُ تَنْظُرُ رَجَاسَاتٍ أَعْظَمَ».
تَأَدَّبِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ لِئَلاَّ تَجْفُوَكِ نَفْسِي. لِئَلاَّ أَجْعَلَكِ خَرَابًا، أَرْضًا غَيْرَ مَسْكُونَةٍ.
فَقَالَ الْيَهُودُ:«فِي سِتٍّ وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً بُنِيَ هذَا الْهَيْكَلُ، أَفَأَنْتَ فِي ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ تُقِيمُهُ؟»
وَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَشُيُوخُ الشَّعْب وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ، قَائِلِينَ:«بِأَيِّ سُلْطَانٍ تَفْعَلُ هذَا؟ وَمَنْ أَعْطَاكَ هذَا السُّلْطَانَ؟»
لأَنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَرَوْنَني مِنَ الآنَ حَتَّى تَقُولُوا: مُبَارَكٌ الآتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ!».
وَإِنْ رَبَّوْا أَوْلاَدَهُمْ أُثْكِلُهُمْ إِيَّاهُمْ حَتَّى لاَ يَكُونَ إِنْسَانٌ. وَيْلٌ لَهُمْ أَيْضًا مَتَى انْصَرَفْتُ عَنْهُمْ!
