Life of Christ Lesson 139: Olivet Discourse - Part IX {Parable of Ten Virgins} - How Jewish Wedding Customs Support a Pre-Tribulation Rapture

Before Jesus spoke the beautiful "Parable of the Ten Virgins," He gave two more admonishments (the first three are discussed in lesson 138). They are "The Sleeping Porter Admonishment" (Mark 13:33-37) and "The Daily Care Admonishment" (Luke 21:34-36). Through all five parabolic warnings, the Lord was warning those living in the Tribulation ("The Time of Jacob's Trouble" - Jeremiah 30:7), "BE READY! I have given you many signs, so although you will not know the exact day or hour of My return, you can know when it is very near! Do not be caught unprepared!" Included in this discussion is an informative look at the Jewish wedding customs of Christ's day. It is imperative to understand the three phases of the Jewish marriage to rightly interpret this parable (it also gives further proof for a pre-Tribulation Rapture).
