Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

[ewq1938]

Who are the foolish virgins?

The unprepared ones who went out in the darkness to buy? They are the Apostates of the great Apostasy, once Christians but they forsake Christ. The darkness is the tribulation and buying in (spiritual) darkness is what those with the mark do.

Virgins do not represent unbelievers.
Nor do they represent apostate.

They started as believers but did some things wrong and were rejected by Jesus. They are the ones who "fall away" before the man of sin is revealed etc.

Mat 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Mat 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
