It's important to get out eschatology right. The parable of the 10 Virgins is not about having more or less Holy Spirit when the rapture comes.
It flows from the events which Jesus spoke about in Matthew 24.
Jesus had warned the Jews of his generation about an invasion by the Roman army. He had spoken about the abomination that causes the desolations.
Luke gives an account of this.
Luke 21:20-21
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
If you know you history Titus the Roman general dispatch to conquer Jerusalem, laid siege in Jerusalem before destroying the same.
He had to do so because he could not penetrate the already built walls of Jerusalem.
The parable is about leaving Jerusalem before the siege happens. Those who did not heed the warnings of Jesus were caught in the siege and could not leave Jerusalem.
They were caught in the tribulation and were eventually destroyed and burnt alive.
The door that closed is referring to the siege. It's not about failing to make heaven. It's about leaving Jerusalem.
It's not about the Holy Spirit leaving you. He never leaves. Never forsakes you.
May you find comfort in one of the most confusing preached parable of all time.

Quote from my new book 'Tales from the Couch;' "Denominations pride themselves on just how radical the move was that they were involved in 20 years ago and in so doing they sign a declaration that they themselves have stopped moving, are living in the past and that they are still bellying up to a bar which ran dry many years ago. Sadly what remains for them is form but no power. They still sing the same songs, still manifest in the same way, still keep to all the catchy buzz words they learned in 'revival', but in reality they are building a monument to something which was relevant 20 years ago!"

The temptation of Jesus is not about just hunger.
He was asked to turn stone into bread.
The stone here is actually the Law.
It's the 10 commandments.
The bread here is the Spirit.
Matthew 7:9
Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
If you read on Jesus says:
Matthew 7:10-11
Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
You can clearly see here the stone is related to the serpent. It is clear here that the Law is the weapon and condemnation is his food.
You would also note here that the good gift is not mention.
Luke tells us what this good gift is.
Luke 11:13
If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
It's the Spirit.
The fight was between whether to give into the Old Covenant or to embrace the New Covenant way of the Spirit.
Satan then took him to the top of the Temple. Again if you are familiar with the writings of Paul you will realise the Temple was Mount Sinai. The he asked him to jump from the Peak of the Temple. The Temple is Mount Sinai in Jerusalem.
He then offered him the position of the anti-Christ and the kingdoms of that world. A world under the dominance of the Old Covenant.
Grace won.

When people read this verse:
Matthew 24:31
And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
They think the elect are the chosen ones. They then begin to differ as to who is "chosen" or who is not.
The truth is that Jesus said the end is very much the days of Noah. Noah gathered the animals to repopulate the earth.
What we don't understand here is Jesus was referring to the end of the Temple and the end of Jerusalem.
Hence the elect here is the remnant that God collected are the 144000 Jews before Jerusalem was destroyed in AD70. They were collected to rebuild Jerusalem.
They became the new Temple. They became the New Jerusalem. God moved from the Temple into them. They were His people, His Temple and His city.
They in turn brought the Gospel to us.
Revelation 7:1
The 144,000 of Israel Sealed
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.
You can see here, how the Angels were waiting to collect the "elect".
When this decree was ordered Vespasian paused his approach to Jerusalem and turned back to accept his crown after the death of Nero and his 4 successors.
These 144000 Jews left and escape the destruction of Jerusalem.
Revelation 7:4
And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:
You can read then why they were unharmed.
Revelation 14:1
The Lamb and the 144,000
Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.
Notice that there were already at Zion with the Lamb.
Revelation 14:4
It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. It is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb,
They were the first fruits. They were the 1st batch of Christians who left Jerusalem. Together with the multitudes of Gentiles in Revelation 7 they became the new habitation of God.
They became the new Temple and the new Jerusalem.
Revelation 21:3
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
That was how God first dwelt in man. Today He has continued to dwell in believers Jew or Gentile.
We are already at Zion. We are already Jerusalem 2.0. The new Jerusalem.
May that give you peace.

When Jesus tells us the "sun moon and stars will fall" he is referring to Joel 2.
Joel 2:10
The earth shall quake before them;
the heavens shall tremble:
the sun and the moon shall be dark,
and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
He is therefore not predicting something about our future but the future of his audience at that time.
The book of Joel actually gives you an idea when it's prophecy will be fulfilled.
Joel 2:28
And it shall come to pass afterward,
that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh;
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams,
your young men shall see visions:
This prophecy was fulfilled when Peter said this at Pentecost.
Acts 2:16-17
But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
So you see the last days Joel predicted were in Peter's days.
What then did Jesus mean by the "sun moon and the stars"?
Let's read these 2 passages.
Revelation 12:1
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Genesis 37:9
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
Genesis 37:10
And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
When you put these two passages together, you will clearly see then"sun moon and stars" is the nation of Israel.
It fell in AD70.
So. The world is not going to end is September 2015.
The process that led to the end world began when Jesus died.
Hebrews 9:26
For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
It ended in AD70.
We are living in a world that began again from there.
So please. If you believe the world will end on 15th September 2015 wouldn't kindly transfer all your belongings to me and date your transfer of ownership on 16th of September 2015.
I'll gladly pay the legal fees. Thank you.

Perhaps no person in history has been the subject of so much controversy and debate. It began two thousand years ago, when religious and political powers conspired to brutally execute him. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically. After that point, agreement is difficult to find; opinions about the life and message of Jesus differ sharply. The Jew of Jesus’ day saw him as demonic and dangerous—a false messiah, heretic, and the worst of blasphemers. In Islam, Jesus is seen as a messenger of God who performed miracles. Humanists and others who claim no religious faith emphasize the humanity and social teachings of Jesus. And then there is Christianity. Christians claim Jesus as their own and consider themselves the ones who truly speak for him.
Where is Jesus?
Is he dead and gone? Is he alive? If so, where is he? In heaven? And what and where is heaven exactly? Is he coming back? How? When? Why?
The Christian religion teaches that Jesus died to atone for the sins of the world, rose from the dead, and will return one future day to perform God’s final judgment. But twenty centuries later, there is still no Jesus. Why the delay? Where is he?
The world has assumed that the Christian religion represents the life, message, and teachings of Jesus. But that view is changing. People are fed up and leaving the church, repulsed by its hypocrisy, irrelevance to the suffering in the world, greed, and fear-based doctrines of a wrathful God who saves a few chosen ones and sends the rest to eternal hell. In their heart of hearts, people are recognizing that many of the traditional teachings of the Christian religion are shams. The spirit of the times is shifting. People are no longer accepting the answers and explanations they have been given. They are becoming more confident in thinking for themselves and listening to their inner voice of truth.
The time is ripe for the dawning of a new age, but it will require rebellion. We cannot move forward without anarchy—inner anarchy. We must be liberated from the dominion of religion. We must dethrone and tear down the mindsets and ideologies that are ruling our world from within us and taking us further down a road of certain doom. Once we displace the old ruling system within us, we set the stage for the salvation of our world to unfold."

"But santo the story of the rich man and Lazarus totally destroys the idea of universal salvation!"
Why?
Presumably because the text says that those in hades (assumed to be hell) can NOT pass over the gap into paradise.
They are stuck there forever
This makes universal salvation impossible.
Those in hell are there forever!
But
That's not exactly what the bible says.
Even a literal reading of the rich man and Lazarus doesn't rule out universal salvation after death
For the sake of argument let's take the story literally
Q. Does this story clearly say that if you die lost that you will never be able to repent?
1. The story does say that at that point in time the gulf between the rich man and Lazarus was impassable.
2. But nothing in the story says that it remains impassable forever!
That's an assumption.
1. When in history is the rich man in hell-hades?
The answer is clear: it takes place whilst the rich man has 5 brothers who are still alive!
The rich man begs Lazarus to send someone from the dead to warn his 5 brothers about HADES.
So then we know that this story took place during historical time and given JESUS was the one telling this story then we know that it took place during his earthly ministry and so was happening BEFORE his death and before the final judgment.
So what?
This is a big deal because we are told that ...
1. Hades comes to an end after the final judgment. It is thrown into the lake of fire. So hades is not the final destination for the lost dead. It comes to an end. Revelation 20:14
2. JESUS told this story about a man in hades before JESUS actually rose from the dead.
3. When Jesus rose from the dead he declared that he in fact opened the gates of hades
Revelation 1:18
I am the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.
4. This is important. Through his death and resurrection JESUS gained control to the keys of Hades!
The time for impassibility had come to an end.
JESUS gained the keys to gates of hades.
What's important is this.
Two sets of gates are mentioned in Revelation. Those of hades and those of the new Jerusalem.
The gates of the new Jerusalem are always open.
So as hades (now with gates open by JESUS) is thrown into the lake of fire (which takes place at the same time that the new Jerusalem descends onto the earth) we read that the gates of the city are also always open!!
Both sets of gates are open in the book of Revelation!
This means that the gulf is only fixed up till judgment day!! It is not permanent as we are led to believe.
The impassable gulf in hades is only impassable until judgment day!
The fact is we know that the gulf between hades and paradise was bridged by JESUS.
When Jesus died and rose again he went and preached the Gospel to the dead who live in hades. 1 peter 3:19; 4:6
JESUS flung himself straight into that gulf and bridged it and preached the Gospel to the dead.
JESUS passed through that gulf that previously was impassable!
He gained the keys to hades and preached Salvation to them.
So even if this is a true story, it was only correct at that time when JESUS had not yet bridged the gulf!
So
There is nothing here that excludes the idea of universal salvation.

Paul tells us that Mount Sinai correspond with then the city of Jerusalem. More specifically he was referring to the Temple which was located on the mountain in Jerusalem.
Galatians 4:25
Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.
Since then the Temple was destroyed.
God made you the new Temple.
Ephesians 2:21-22
in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.
Now if Sinai is the old temple and you are the new Temple, where do you Zion is?

We have often been told that faith without works is dead. Crippled with ignorance we are made to believe that you need to preserve your salvation by good works.
Please understand that James is addressing a different kind of faith. He was not addressing the Christian faith. He was addressing the Jewish faith.
That kind of faith James says is dead. It does not produce works. That kind of faith is about obeying the Law of Moses. You may work and work but it's dead works.
He quotes then 2 persons. Abraham and Rahab. Abraham was before the Law. Rahab was a Gentile and was never under the Law before. These 2 people had the kind of faith that produce works. It was the kind of faith God gave to us through the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:8-10
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith –and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God– 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Notice the above. The good works were prepared in advance for us, the workmanship of God. It's about Him working for us.

.. old Jerusalem is
old earth;
old temple is
old heaven ..
the age of O.T. law
ended
at the cross,
the ripping of the veil of skins;
this became globally apparent
in 70AD ..
We are in
the age of Charis,
it is lasting
and has lasted
a long time.
Hidden from the religious,
we, already, are
the new Jerusalem;
we, already, are
a new creation,
in a new heaven,
on a new earth,
because humans
are the temple
not made of stone,
but flesh .....
Love one another
whilst you are loved .....
+
... to realise in a deep sense,
one is accepted
even when the world
says one is unacceptable;
one is totally loved
when one is unlovable;
restored whilst broken ..
included when one
feels excluded from
the heavenly family ..
that's the reality of CHARIS
to
one
and
ALL .....
+
.. know this,
there will be days
when people's fallen mindset
will be very obvious;
down
from charis
to grasp at legalism;
from I am
to I am not;
from "It is finished"
to work for favour;
from love one another
to judge one another ..
+
.. most of the songs
we sing
over ourselves,
sadly,
join us to a fallen mindset ..
seamy sentimental "inspiration"..
from pop song on the radio
to your "favourite"
from religious club ..
it's not easy to find
a song that
truly frees us;
but they can be found .....
+
.. fleshly living
(strife and division)
views one another
as a sinner
(mere human)
needing to attain
approval
(by law and process)
(1C3)
that's fleshly, people..
spiritual living is knowing
All,
now,
ARE
as He is.

.... please find a job
that one enjoys
for its own qualities,
not because one desires
the lauding of the marketplace
e.g
legend/great/hero/
warrior/statesman/
worldchanger/winner
etc..
it sounds trumped up,
manipulative,
self-ingratiating
and shallow ..
ha !
just sayin' ....
+
.... time for convicted corrupt
elected public servants,
bankers,
and
warmongers,
to be banned from
continuing in business .. +
... the daily rupert condition us
to the worthy recipients
of these "gee-ups"
including prince prats ....
so ordinary ..

What I saw was how religion made people fake and synthetic,
well-polished on the outside but a silent train-wreck on the inside.
The amazing thing about this was not that it happened,
but how comfortable people became in it.
I think most people would have squirmed in the presence of Jesus.
Not because he was more divine than they were,
but because he was way too human for them.

Timothy 3:1 Know also that there will be days
where the extremities of people’s fallen mindsets will be very obvious;
where the gulf between heavenly grace-thinking and earthly legalism-thinking will be most pronounced.
(The word escahtos, extreme, it is the superlative form of the word echo, to hold or to resonate.
The “last days” doctrine - eschatology, is associated with this word.
The word chalepos from chalao means to loosen, to slacken, to let down from a higher place to a lower.
From ‘I am’ to ‘I am not’;
from finished to unfinished;
from gift to reward;
from love to judgment.)

..... why are "public celebrations"
dominated by
law enforcers,
armed forces,
and nationalism ..
..... bring out the celebrators,
the providers,
the artists,
the freedom articulators .....

.... let me rock
your gypsy soul .....
....such a good lyric

been hearing it
for ~ 40 years ....

I need to state this. Many of the terms of the Scriptures are quoted without understanding their timeline.
Here are some. "New creation", "new heaven and new earth", "new Jerusalem", "end of days", "last days" or "the day of the Lord".
Believers today quote this terms as if to mean the future.
We even at time call ourselves the end time generation or Benjamin generation.
When the approval of same sex marriages was announced by the Supreme Court of America, many pointed out that we are in the days of the Beast.
We are not.
The Bible specifically tells us when the end of the world began.
Hebrews 9:25-26
Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the END of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
We must understand the END of the world was set into motion by the death of Jesus on the Cross.
Today many believers look at the opening of the seals as an event in the future.
Let's look at Revelation.
Revelation 5:4-6
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
Ask yourselves these questions:
When did the Lamb prevail?
When was he slain?
At the cross, isn't?
Hence the motions of the horsemen are clear.
Vespasian was the horseman that was given a crown. He was a man with no royal blood and the senate and the people made him Caesar. He was the first. He was "given" a crown.
Titus his son was the Red horse rider. He carried his father's mission and massacre over a million Jews. Hence bloodshed was his colour.
Titus caused Jerusalem to be surrounded by a 4th wall and lay siege in Jerusalem. They was no supply of food into Jerusalem.
Supplies became scarce and as such prices soared.
Revelation 6:6
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Finally where there's hunger and famine people died in Jerusalem. Josephus speaks about about a woman eating her child.
Hence death and disease fill the land.
Revelation 6:8
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
The people mentioned in the 5th seal are mentioned by Jesus in his time.
See the similarity.
Revelation 6:10
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Now look at what Jesus said about HIS time.
Matthew 23:34-35
Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town, so that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.
Matthew 23:36
Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
HIS generation.
With regards the 6th seal, you only need to refer to Joel 2 and the dream of Joseph to note that the Sun is referring to Jacob, the Moon is Leah and the 12 stars are the tribes.
This points to the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of Israel AT THAT TIME.
With reference to the trumpets sounding, look at Joel 2.
Joel 2:1
The Day of the Lord
Blow a trumpet in Zion;
sound an alarm on my holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
for the day of the Lord is coming; it is near,
Note that was how the day of the Lord coming. It's in the past.
Look at Joel 2.
Joel 2:28-29
The Lord Will Pour Out His Spirit
“And it shall come to pass afterward,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams,
and your young men shall see visions.
Even on the male and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit.
Now look at Acts.
Acts 2:16
But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:
Acts 2:17
“‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams;
So when are the LAST days?
It began at the cross. It ended at the destruction of Jerusalem. That period is called the LAST days. It was the transition period between the old and new covenant.
Hence we are NOT the last generation. We are already the new creation. We are already in the New Heaven and Earth. We are already have the New Jerusalem. We are beyond the Benjamin generation.
Hence I call the bride of Christ to know your identity. It is here we realize who we ALREADY are and stop saying we need this or that to be whole.
The cross was when the finished work began. You are where the finished work ended.
That is how you walk by faith.
