Now we all have to come to understand an important fact. On September 10th, 2025 in the US a man was assassinated. The official announcement or criers call of his death was announced just shortly after 2 p.m. MST which equates to just after midnight in Jerusalem on September 11th. It caused a global reaction both positive and negative. It thus became the “midnight cry” from a parable told by Jesus Christ in Matthew 25:1-13.

Within this parable there are two groups the wise and the foolish bridesmaids or virgins depending on which translation of the Bible you look at. Now in this parable an essential event takes place.

Matthew 25:8-9 NKJV – And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’

“And the foolish said to the wise. ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.”

This was not a request. It was a demand. This in itself says volumes about these that had been once blessed with the Holy Spirit.

Yes, you heard me correctly. For how does this parable begin.

Matthew 25:1 NKJV – “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

This wording by Christ Himself shows that they are children of God. That they are a part of the vine. For none can be part of the vine without being filled with the Holy Spirit, which is also described in this parable as the word “oil.”

Therefore, those that had once been given oil or the Holy Spirit had turned their backs on it. They had lost their oil reserve. They had stopped seeking the face of God through Jesus Christ.

To those that are the foolish bridesmaids being a child of God is just another label they slap upon themselves for their own glory. Yes, they had accepted Christ as their Savior. Yes, they can call themselves “Christian.” However, they stopped looking for Christ but turned to their own wants and desires. Seeking to please themselves, to glorify themselves. This is why the foolish bridesmaids demand that those that have been loyal to Christ and watchful for His return to surrender their oil, their Holy Ghost unto them.
Since they love to buy everything, especially for their own glory, those that have been watchful tell them to go to the merchants and buy more oil aka the Holy Spirit. They listen and run off to those places that sell false salvation and as they listen to the lie merchants, they leave those that have been watchful alone.

What are the other earmarks of those that are the foolish bridesmaids?

Within Romans there is a description of those that have turned their back fully against God

.
Romans 1:18-32 NKJV – For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Many that call themselves “Christian” support those that live and act in this manner. Many discribed a moment ago even call themselves “Christian.” All this shows is that they are foolish bridesmaids. Why say this? Look into chapter two of Romans:

Romans 2:1-11 NLT – You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do these very same things. And we know that God, in his justice, will punish anyone who does such things. Since you judge others for doing these things, why do you think you can avoid God’s judgment when you do the same things? Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? But because you are stubborn and refuse to turn from your sin, you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself. For a day of anger is coming, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. He will judge everyone according to what they have done. He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers. But he will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness. There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. But there will be glory and honor and peace from God for all who do good—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism

Many who support those who live in sin and in turn live in the same sins listed in Romans 1 are foolish bridesmaids. Any who supports human sacrifice that is called abortion (Leviticus 18:21). Any who support those that break the laws of a nation (Titus 3:1) and those that support them and call themselves “Christian” are nothing but foolish bridesmaids.

Matthew 25:10-12 NKJV – And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’

Those that are the “foolish bridesmaids” have many faces, but at their core is selfishness and a self-serving mentality. This in itself marks them as foolish. They show an air of superiority thinking they are better then other humans, when we are taught in the Word of God to think of all others as greater than ourselves.

Romans 12:3 NKJV – For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

Also we must remember that many that profess to being “Christian” are in fact mammon worshippers. They seek after earthly treasures and rewards which is totally opposite what we are taught to seek after.

1 Timothy 6:6-8 NKJV – Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

Those that are mammon-worshippers seek after riches (jewelry, and fancy clothes), money (seeking after and hording earthly wealth beyond what is needed to make it to the next day), possessions (those objects that gather dust all over your houses and as well as luxury vehicles and any vehicle that goes beyond the basic need of transport to places you need to get to) and then property (huge house beyond the basic need for shelter and/or multiple houses as well as empty land filled with nothing to help those in need.) They too are foolish bridesmaids

.
The one thing that most have not even awakened to is how things have changed for the Christian community.

It was the midnight cry. A line was slashed between those that are wise and those that are foolish.
The rapture hasn’t even occurred yet. However, a hard line has already been drawn by the hand of God already. Those that are the foolish and those that are the wise. From September 10th, 2025 onward the seal has been placed upon those that are wise. However, there has also been a seal placed upon those that were foolish up to that point. There will be those that come to find Salvation beyond the date stated earlier. These are not sealed and some may even become wise bridesmaids, but there is no guarantee of that statement.

What is set in stone though is that those that were and still are foolish bridesmaids will not be going to the wedding feast and be left behind.

Yes, you heard that correctly. The foolish bridesmaids. Those that consider themselves to be fellow Christians will be left behind. Left to face the first half of the tribulation. Left to face starvation. Left to face martyrdom. Left to have people that call themselves “Christian” to turn against them and turn them in to those in power.

It is when the foolish bridesmaids face this reality. That is when they will come to see it isn’t all about them, but God through Jesus Christ. That once they pass on through martyrdom they will be with God and ready to be part of the first resurrection. For only those that want to stand before God on Judgement Day desire to be part of the second resurrection. Those that stand before God on the day of the Great White Throne Judgment which is the only judgment will most likely face damnation.

This is why I feel sorry for those that are the foolish bridesmaids. For nothing can change their future. They will be left behind for Christ in His own parable just made that clear.

Matthew 25:8-12 NKJV – And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’

The wise are welcome to join the bridegroom Who is Jesus Christ. The foolish will be left behind. This is made clear. Any who question this question Jesus Christ Himself, and that is something only the foolish would do, because it shows they have no fear of God.
