Zechariah 4:4 So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, what are these, my lord? 5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying, this is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts…. Matthew 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them…. That phrase “Took no oil” does not mean that they never had any oil because if that were the case they would have to be really foolish to show up without any oil whatsoever.
They did have oil initially, but they did not take extra, for they were not expecting a long delay…. Matthew 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go you out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Matthew 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go you rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Matthew 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
