People's Commentary (NT)
Matthew 25:13
Watch therefore, etc. The whole parable is an illustration of this
solemn admonition.
APPLICATION.--The Bridegroom is the Son of man; the time of the
"marriage" is the coming to judgment; the "tarrying" is the long and
unknown period between his ascension and his return; the "virgins"
represent the waiting church; the "wise" virgins represent those church
members who are always ready and whose lights are shining; the oil in
their vessels is the means by which their light is supplied; the
"foolish" virgins are church members who have become cold and lifeless;
the "midnight cry" is the summons of death, or the trump of judgment;
the "cry for oil" is death-bed repentance, or an attempt at preparation
in the face of judgment; the "shut" "door" is a declaration that such
repentance is too late to be of avail; the great lesson is to be always
in a state of readiness.
