Context of Matthew 25:10
8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out. 9But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut. 11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10Went in with him to the marriage - The “marriage-feast.” The marriage ceremony took place before the bride left her father‘s house, but a feast was given at the house of her husband, which was also called the “marriage,” or a part of the marriage solemnities.

But the Bridegroom comes; the ready are admitted; "the door is shut," and they are undone. How graphic and appalling this picture of one almost saved--but…Read the comment
