The parables concerning the coming of the Son of Man

answering a request to explain the parable of the ten virgins

Comment

sometimes in explaining things one sees something new oneself.
and the ramifications thereof take a while to sink in.

well, that bit where i was explaining the parable of the sheep and the goats and i said doing the 6 things for Yeshua properly IS doing the seventh, ministering to Him, was a new concept to me too. i had not looked at seeing an occurrence of seven there before.
but that was the nice new thing for me to take out of the whole exercise.
because i showed what the connect was that immediately came up in my mind, that isaiah's description of the seven-fold spirit also show the six in their completeness as components of the seventh, as it were.
in fact, i've seen commentaries where people object to that description actually being 7 fold, and thus connecting it to revelation's description of the seven fold spirit, precisely because they say the other 6 are 'just' a breakdown of the first.

i'm going somewhere with this, keep reading, please.

so, what has been supremely difficult all along for me is to see clearly exactly what it is we're supposed to be doing in this seventh phase, or to see clearly what is going on in that phase, and the message given to the seventh church of laodicea doesn't help, because HOW do you buy what you need from Yeshua?
and the description of what you need is a summary of the first three steps that you've been busy with yourself along the way to get to the last church/step.
(i'm looking at the 3 pairs of descriptions comprising the seven fold description of the Spirit corresponding to the first 3 soils of the sower parable, therefore also saying the first six churches can be seen as 3 pairs of churches. that leaves the Spirit of the LORD corresponding to laodicea. this is how the seven aspects of the spirit correspond to the four aspects of the soul they grow in)
the other way of phrasing that is how do you get your soil to be good soil, from the sowing pov.
but so now, not only isaiah's description (just standing by itself and therefore not saying anything yet), but the actions that separate the doers thereof into sheep (reinforcement, and so now yes, it's saying something) are emphasizing this point, the 6 when all complete make up the 7th.

now, buying.
while i was distinguishing between the virgins with oil and without, i contemplated who the sellers of oil were and how do virgins buy from them?
and my thoughts said well, the (words of the) commandments are the sellers, so you go to the commandments to buy, and observing those commandments is the purchase price, and that observance gives you the oil, the strength.
now at this stage of development, it's (simply said) hold to the ten commandments, that'll make you wise.
but Yeshua says 'buy from Me', and of course He's expanded what to hold to all through the gospels.
and there's the answer, where to go to to find the seller, Yeshua (well, in His form of the entire Word now, not just the mosaic part), and how to buy.
which is do all the things encompassed in these three first steps but properly this time.
