Contextually the "ten virgins" are the "wheat and tares" in the Great Tribulation

Contextually, the parable of the 10 virgins is regarding the importance of being ready when Messiah returns.
The parable of the wheat and the tares is about the judgement of the righteous and the wicked, and it's compared to growing and harvesting wheat - nothing more.
I am somewhere between an Amillenialist and a Postmillenialist.
No, Satan is still deceiving the nations to thos day.
And your SCRIPTURE to support your "feelings" is where?
Right, so you're not only calling me wicked, you are also calling all 10 of the virgins wicked.
Does anyone else see something wrong with that "interpretation"?
Just look at the state of the world you're living in. Satan is obviously active.
It's not the time you're talking about.The Scripture PROMISES the Last Saints "shall understand" [Dan 12:8-10]
and Jesus PROMISES the Last Saints "shall see all these things" [Mat 24:15.33]
And God PROMISES the Last Saints preach these mysteries [Rev 10:7-11]
Do you REALLY think the Last Saints will not know the NAME of the Antichrist?
Do you REALLY think Daniel 12:8-10 is not true?
Do you REALLY think Mat 24:33 is not true?
You are correct, the Bible says these things cannot be know UNTIL
the Last Saints (called the "wise virgins") reveal them.
So it is not a matter of IF they will be revealed (not if you believe the Bible)
it is only a matter of WHEN they will be revealed. And this is the time.
Unless you just do not believe what the Bible PROMISES?

When was Satan ever imprisoned for 1000 years? Start with that. He was defeated at the cross but not imprisoned.
Jesus PROMISED the Last Saints "shall see ALL these things"
[Mat 24:15 and 24:33]
It's not the time you're talking about. I've read two posts with egotistical tenor in it. Pride blinds the perspective, it thus cannot be correct.
Even Satan quoted scripture. So according to the latter part of James Chapter 3, your theology is refuted.Anyone can say "pride blinds".
Can you REFUTE a word I said? That is the test.
I presented a TON of information.. can you not REFUTE a single thing?
Out of EVERYTHING I said (all the details I presented) you can REFUTE nothing?
Then my doctrines stand un-refuted.
(1) saying "it's not the time you're talking about" has no meaning.
I am sure you can put together a complete sentence.
(2) saying "Pride blinds .... thus it cannot be correct"
That refutes nothing.
Again, the Bible PROMISES the Last Saints ("wise virgins") would reveal mysteries
never known during the church age... so it is not a matter of IF it happens.
Let me know if/when you can REFUTE anything I said.

Latter day saints?Last saints, isn't that what the Mormons call themselves?
If you read the Bible literally, it is abundantly clear that Jesus LITERALLY promised HIS APOSTLES that THEY “shall see all these things”:
Matthew 24:33 So you [apostles standing there] also, when you [apostles standing there] see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors!
Where do you get this notion of the “LAST SAINTS”?
It’s not from scripture. Must therefore be from speculation, man made tradition and a non literal rendering alone.
Even Satan quoted scripture. So according to the latter part of James Chapter 3, your theology is refuted.
There is a character that follows correct God-ology.
His sheep will follow His voice, the voice of the shepherd is not in the posts I am reading by this poster, so I do not follow.
And if I am correct about the above, one can't use the sheep and goats judgment to prove there are not mortal survivors after this judgment. This particular judgment does take place at the 2nd coming, yet this is not the great white throne judgment, though.
Interesting point but to me the Greek word used refers to a thousand and points to exactly a thousand years as we would understand it, otherwise the Greek would have used the word myrias.I was thinking, if the 1000 years is figurative, then each day of that thousand years would be a thousand years to us.
So according to the amillennial doctrine, it would mean this age (the figurative millennium) won't be ending any time soon.
However, if this is a future age - then it would indeed be interesting that an age that long would exist.
That's all so true. Why even mention a thousand years if there is no such thing? If everything all ends at the end of Revelation 19:11-21 and this parallels Revelation 20:7-10, then it's totally irrelevant to the point of meaningless to talk about a thousand years, where the Greek word used denotes a thousand (one thousand only) years instead of thousands of years.Let's assume what Amil assumes about Revelation 19 and Revelation 20:7-10, that these are referring to the same events, is correct. That would indicate that John must think the reader is pretty absent minded, so he felt the need to remind the reader, that in Revelation 20:10, satan gets cast into the same place the beast and fp got cast into moments earlier, or at least within that same 24 hour period.
But instead, we see John telling us that satan is cast into the pit a thousand years. Why would we need to know that after he has already been cast into the LOF, assuming Amil? Once satan has been cast into the LOF, anything involving this thousand years would have zero relevance at that point.
Here's something else to consider, assuming Revelation 20:7-10 is paralleling the end of ch. 19.
and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them(Revelation 20:9). Who could possibly survive that and live to tell about it? Apparently the beast and fp, assuming Amil.
Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Does this look like they were devoured by fire from God out of heaven? Does not the text state this---And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet---and this---These both were cast alive---thus why I asked, who could possibly survive that and live to tell about it. The fact the beast and fp are first captured, then cast while still alive into the LOF, and if assuming Amil, this same beast and fp would have to be among those surrounding the saints, thus they would have been devoured by this fire as well. So why weren't they, then?
