Overview: 1. THE TEN VIRGINS DEPART ---a- marriage custom of the day - the virgins would wait for the groom---b-all ten are somewhat prepared - but only five take oil for their lamps---c- the distinguishing mark in the parable - a vessel full of oil--- the distinguishing mark of the Christian is a soul full of the Holy Spirit--2.
