Summary
The Parable of the Ten Virgins: Are You Ready for Jesus’ Return? | Matthew 25:1-13
What if you looked ready for Jesus’ return but weren’t actually prepared? In this powerful third episode of our Parousia Parables series, we dive deep into one of Jesus’ most sobering warnings about His second coming.
The parable of the ten virgins isn’t just about waiting—it’s about being ready. Five were wise, five were foolish, and the difference came down to something that couldn’t be borrowed: oil. Join us as we unpack what this oil represents, why some believers won’t be ready when Jesus returns, and most importantly, how YOU can be prepared.
In This Episode: ✓ What the oil in the parable really represents ✓ Why looking like a Christian doesn’t make you one ✓ The shocking reality that some things can’t be borrowed ✓ How to truly be ready for Christ’s return ✓ The beautiful power of repentance in the Christian life
This isn’t about living in fear—it’s about running into the arms of a Savior who loves you so much He took your place. Don’t miss the party when the Bridegroom comes.
AFTER THE AMEN: We end with a powerful question: Are you ready? Plus a discussion on why repentance shouldn’t be a scary word but a beautiful reality in every believer’s life.

| 0:00.0 | Aloha, welcome to Amen Podcast. I'm Lokelani, and as always, I'm here with my husband, Alex, from the beautiful island of Kauai. |
| 0:09.4 | And we're just so grateful that you've chosen to spend some time with us today. |
| 0:13.9 | We will be diving into the parable of the ten virgins coming from Matthew chapter 25. |
| 0:20.5 | And this story is a little bit different when you realize what is actually at stake. |
| 0:26.9 | Jesus is talking about his return, about being ready and about the sobering reality |
| 0:32.6 | that some things in life can't be borrowed. |
| 0:36.1 | This is the third in our Parasia parables series, and this |
| 0:40.0 | isn't just about knowing Bible facts. It's about making sure you don't miss the party when the |
| 0:46.9 | bridegroom comes. Well, with that said, let's dive in. All right on. Let's do it. Let's pray first. |
| 0:53.5 | Father, thank you for an opportunity to speak your |
| 0:55.8 | word to the people on the other side of the screen or person, wherever they are. |
| 1:00.3 | This blesses them and encourages them and that they would share it with a friend if it so does. |
| 1:05.4 | In your name you pray, amen. |
| 1:07.4 | Matthew 25, 1 through 13, part three of our parosea parables. You remember the word parisia |
| 1:14.0 | means the coming of an emperor or a king. At that time, the kingdom of heaven will be like 10 |
| 1:20.2 | virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, |
| 1:26.1 | five were wise. The foolish ones |
| 1:28.1 | took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil and jars |
| 1:33.1 | along with the lamps. The bridegroom was a long time incoming, and they all became drowsy and fell |
| 1:39.6 | asleep. And at midnight, a cry rang out, here's the bridegroom, come out to meet him. Then all the virgins woke up and trim their lamps. And the foolish ones said to the wise, give us some of your oil. Our lamps are going out. No, they replied. There may be not enough for both of us. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves. But while they were on their way to buy oil, the bridegroom arrived. |
| 2:03.3 | The virgins who had already went in. |
| 2:07.9 | But while they were on their way, I'm sorry. |
