I am reminded of the Parable of the Ten Virgins. quote:
The Parable of the Ten Virgins, also known as the parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins, is one of the well known parables of Jesus. It appears in only one of the Canonical gospels of the New Testament. According to the Gospel of Matthew 25:1-13 the five virgins who are prepared for the bridegroom's arrival are rewarded, while the five who are not prepared are excluded from his marriage feast. The parable has a clear eschatological theme: be prepared for the Day of Judgment. quote:
... the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. “Later the other virgins also came, saying, 'Lord, lord, open up for us.' “But he answered, 'Truly I say to you, I do not know you.' ... http://nasb.scripturetext.com/matthew/25.htm I am being prepared for the Day of Judgment.
