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.

Some take 24:29-31 to refer to God’s judgment on the Jewish people in AD 70, using apocalyptic images and metaphors to describe it. Others see a reference to the second coming of Christ at the end of history. 24:29 the sun will be darkened . . . will be shaken: This phenomenon can be taken literally, as befitting the climactic self-disclosure of God’s Son, or metaphorically, as for a cosmically significant event (see Acts 2:17-21; Heb 12:26-27; 2 Pet 3:10; Rev 6:12-13). Similar apocalyptic language is used frequently in the Old Testament for describing political disasters and the collapse of a government as cosmic judgments from God (e.g., Isa 13:9-16; Ezek 32:1-10; Joel 2:1-17; Amos 8:7-10).

وَيَكُونُ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، أَنِّي أُغَيِّبُ الشَّمْسَ فِي الظُّهْرِ، وَأُقْتِمُ الأَرْضَ فِي يَوْمِ نُورٍ،
اَلشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ يَظْلُمَانِ، وَالنُّجُومُ تَحْجُزُ لَمَعَانَهَا.
فَإِنَّ نُجُومَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَجَبَابِرَتَهَا لاَ تُبْرِزُ نُورَهَا. تُظْلِمُ الشَّمْسُ عِنْدَ طُلُوعِهَا، وَالْقَمَرُ لاَ يَلْمَعُ بِضَوْئِهِ.
وَيَخْجَلُ الْقَمَرُ وَتُخْزَى الشَّمْسُ، لأَنَّ رَبَّ الْجُنُودِ قَدْ مَلَكَ فِي جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَقُدَّامَ شُيُوخِهِ مَجْدٌ.
وَيَفْنَى كُلُّ جُنْدِ السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَتَلْتَفُّ السَّمَاوَاتُ كَدَرْجٍ، وَكُلُّ جُنْدِهَا يَنْتَثِرُ كَانْتِثَارِ الْوَرَقِ مِنَ الْكَرْمَةِ وَالسُّقَاطِ مِنَ التِّينَةِ.
Pوَلكِنْ سَيَأْتِي كَلِصٍّ فِي اللَّيْلِ، يَوْمُ الرَّبِّ، الَّذِي فِيهِ تَزُولُ السَّمَاوَاتُ بِضَجِيجٍ، وَتَنْحَلُّ الْعَنَاصِرُ مُحْتَرِقَةً، وَتَحْتَرِقُ الأَرْضُ وَالْمَصْنُوعَاتُ الَّتِي فِيهَا. P
قُدَّامَهُ تَرْتَعِدُ الأَرْضُ وَتَرْجُفُ السَّمَاءُ. اَلشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ يُظْلِمَانِ، وَالنُّجُومُ تَحْجُزُ لَمَعَانَهَا.
ثُمَّ بَوَّقَ الْمَلاَكُ الرَّابِعُ، فَضُرِبَ ثُلْثُ الشَّمْسِ وَثُلْثُ الْقَمَرِ وَثُلْثُ النُّجُومِ، حَتَّى يُظْلِمَ ثُلْثُهُنَّ، وَالنَّهَارُ لاَ يُضِيءُ ثُلْثُهُ، وَاللَّيْلُ كَذلِكَ.
أَلَيْسَ يَوْمُ الرَّبِّ ظَلاَمًا لاَ نُورًا، وَقَتَامًا وَلاَ نُورَ لَهُ؟
لأَنَّهُ يَكُونُ حِينَئِذٍ ضِيقٌ عَظِيمٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِثْلُهُ مُنْذُ ابْتِدَاءِ الْعَالَمِ إِلَى الآنَ وَلَنْ يَكُونَ.
