God's call to his church is oriented to watch continually because the return of Christ will be like a "thief in the night". No one knows neither the hour nor the day when the Son of God is to come, in such a sense, God exhorts through his word that we adopt the position of the five wise virgins so that when the "bridegroom (Christ) comes" the wise Christians may enter the "Marriage of the Lamb."

The relationship of the Lord's church with the wise virgins, the Lord explains it through the "Parable of the Ten Virgins".

Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 Five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 The foolish took their lamps and took no oil;
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 And when the bridegroom was delayed, they all fell asleep and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil, for our lamps are going out.
9 But the wise answered and said, Lest there be lack to us and to you, go rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 But while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, 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.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. Matthew 25: 1-13 Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960).

Remember that the Lord says in his word: "not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven". This type of believer is related to the foolish virgins. Likewise, the Lord also tells us that "his sheep hear his voice and follow him".

The wise virgins represent the Christian who has received the truth in his heart, which is Christ and allows himself to be guided by the Holy Spirit. The parable in reference shows us that the five wise virgins are kept with fresh oil which is the Holy Spirit.

When a believer is active in prayer, in the reading of the Word of God, in the congregation, in evangelistic and missionary work, it is said that he is a believer like the wise virgins.

The foolish virgins represent the spiritually cold, indifferent and careless believer, who rarely congregates, does not pray, does not read the Bible and does not participate in the work of evangelization and missionary work. This type of believer does not have enough oil to remain ardent and active in the most important work of the church, which is the evangelization of the world.

In the parable of the Assumption, we are presented with five virgins who are careless, irresponsible, indifferent and who take little account of the return of the "bridegroom", who is Christ. These foolish virgins are those spiritually careless believers, who have to pay dearly for their carelessness and be left out of the Marriage of the Lamb.

The parable mentions that there will be a time when both the wise and the foolish virgins will fall asleep. Many scholars of God's word argue that this falling asleep represents the uncontrollable advance of sin at the time of Christ's return. This time of spiritual slumber is similar to the time mentioned about the coming of Christ, which will be similar to the days of Noah and Lot, where people were more concerned with material things and carnal delights.

Precisely in that time of spiritual slumber, product of man's wickedness and sin, is when the son of God will appear for the church.

It is recommended to be attentive so as not to fall into spiritual sleep like the ten virgins.

In the midst of the advance of sin and wickedness, the Lord's church will enter into spiritual lethargy, but when the voice is heard, The bridegroom has come (Christ!), then only the five wise virgins will hear that voice and open the door for the bridegroom to enter. This is the glorious moment of the rapture of the church, where the ardent believers in the Lord, will participate in the Marriage of the Lamb.

The foolish virgins who went out to buy oil because of their carelessness and indifference, when they return to meet the wise virgins, it will be too late, because the door will have been closed and they will be left out of the event of the rapture of the church. These are the Christians who will go through the great tribulation and see the face of the Antichrist.

The foolish virgins were left knocking at the doors of the place where the marriage of the Lamb will be celebrated with the church.
