Dear Peterlag,
The four Gospels contain mostly teachings concerning the New Covenant and the pathway the Elect will travel to salvation under that covenant. That pathway starts when Christ gives a person the Early Rain of the Spirit. But since Christ does not heal the person's spiritual blindness at that time, they are quickly deceived by Satan and become a part of the apostate church (all 2,000 different denominations/sects that are in the world). They remain in this lost, fallen away spiritual condition until they die UNLESS they are one of the Elect. In which case, Christ will "come again" to them and pour out the Latter Rain upon them. With the Latter Rain, they are "born again" and their spiritual blindness is healed. This is when they "see" the Abomination of Desolation that had occurred within God's temple (themselves). When they see the A of D, judgment will fall on them and destroy who they became under Satan's spiritual influence (a man of sin). This is the pathway that Paul's conversion "typed" which all the Elect must travel to salvation. Unless Christ comes to a person a second time before they die, they will not be His Bride/heir/First Fruit.
The Parable of the Ten Virgins is also teaching this pathway to salvation the Elect will travel. It is not a teaching that applies to the Nation of Israel. It applies only to the church.
In the parable, a "virgin" is a person who has received the Early Rain of the Spirit and has become "espoused" to Christ. This is when a person enters the church. However, a short time later, all ten virgins will fall away from faith and spiritually die under Satan's influence (spirit of anti-Christ) The parable presents this truth by showing that all ten virgins are sleeping (spiritual death) at night (time of spiritual blindness). This is the time when all believers are in the apostate church. When Christ returns, only the Elect (the wise virgins) have the extra oil (Latter Rain) to become a chaste virgin again. The foolish virgins were simply not chosen from the foundation of the world for salvation in this present age. And because they were not, they were not given the extra oil (anointing of the Baptism of the Spirit/Latter Rain) they needed. The foolish virgins had no choice but to remain carnally minded/spiritually blind and lost until they died. Only the Baptism of the Spirit can make a fallen away believer faithful again. As Paul said, a fallen away believer cannot be renewed by repentance alone:
Heb 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and age-enduring judgment. 3 And this will we do, if God permit. 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come 6 if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance: seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7 For the earth (carnal mankind) which drinketh in the rain (the Early Rain) that cometh oft upon it (many are called out), and bringeth forth herbs (spiritual fruit) meet for them (the Elect) by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God (the Latter Rain): 8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected (the foolish virgins, Early Rain only), and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
