The Maidens of the Lighted Lamps

According to the predictions of the Old Testament prophets, since 1948, the year in which the nation of Israel was reborn as a modern State, we are in the end times, close to the fulfillment of the eschatological events and the second coming of the Lord Jesus to earth. But will the Lord find faith on earth? Following the guidelines of the erroneous prophetic orientation and lacking in biblical fundament, which the church of Christ is going through today, there is a serious danger of postponing the spiritual preparation for that imminent coming of the Messiah. The Christian people find themselves unarmed, on the one hand, because they believe in a rapture that can happen at any time, but unfortunately has not been revealed by God in his Word; and on the other hand, because of the false gospel of the prosperity and well-being of believers, in this earthly life.
Added to the foregoing is the lack of interest of the people of God in seeking the truth in the Scriptures, and in seeking communion with the Spirit of God. As a consequence, little interest is recorded in the coming of the Lord and our encounter with Him; with the risk that the preparations for that meeting are too insufficient. "My Lord is late in coming," many will say; but the return of the Lord will be so sudden that an immense part of the church will be surprised, since no one, or very few, expect the Lord to arrive at midnight.
At this historical moment, much spiritual conformity reigns, carelessness spreads, ignorance overflows, and even disinterest in the face of the great event that is approaching with leaps and bounds. And the saddest thing is that this meeting will be a painful drama for multitudes.
