THE FOOLISH VIRGINS The Foolish Virgins are the ones who will go through the Tribulation Period to die for their faith for they will be left behind. The Foolish Virgins are those Christians who have failed to receive the “OIL” or “Baptism of the Holy Spirit” in these last days because they have rejected this End Time Message. They remained in their denominational creeds and dogmas until one day they will realize that denominationali sm is the Image of the Beast. Once they realized such a tragic thing, they will start looking for the oil but it will be too late. The rapture must have been past during such time and the door closed. They were left behind weeping, wailing, and gnashing their teeth. Being therefore left behind, the AntiChrist will devour them and persecute them for their faith. Nowhere to hide, they will be purged and tortured unto death unless they deny their testimonies as Christians and receive the mark in their hand and in their forehead. These events will all transpire during the Tribulation Period, while Israels 144,000 elect is also being called out by Moses and Elijah from Judaism into the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. Matthew 25:1-13 speaks very well of this event: “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish. They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” The assurance of being included in the rapture depends on whether you belong to the Wise or to the Foolish Virgins. Faith is a revelation. The foolish virgins will still be saved but they will give up their lives in death, and be given eternal life at the second resurrection (judgement bar). But the Wise Virgins shall rise in the first resurrection and will live and reign with Christ until the Millennium. Reverend Branham made it clear in this statement: “You might different a little with this, but listen close. Just because that you accepted Christ as personal Saviour, that doesnt mean that youre going in the rapture. Thats for the elect, thatll go in the rapture. Therell be a remnant left here on earth thatll go through the persecution and the great tribulation. The church will be caught up in the rapture. Now, who places the pattern? God by election. Amen. God by election places the pattern. He said, Now, I have chosen before the foundation of the world... I place these... Why, Jesus told the disciples that He was with them, and He had chose them, and knew them before the foundation of the world was ever laid. Is that right? So God places the pattern. Now, therell be an elect thatll go in the rapture. And therell be a group of people thats good, upright, holy living, God-saved people, that will not be in the rapture; and theyll come up in the second resurrection.” QUESTIONS.AND.A NSWERS.2_ JEFF.IN COD SUNDAY_ 54-0103E
