I use it all the time.

The Parable of the ten virgins.

From the Rapture Paper Ray explains.

Being sober- minded / awake.

Matt.25:7…. then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.
Luke 12:35……keep your lamps burning, vs. 36 and be like men who are
waiting for their master.
1 Peter 1:13 …….. Therfore preparing your minds for action, and being sober minded
set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of
Jesus Christ.
Luke 12:43.’…..’Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when
He comes.

Drowsers will not be locked out of the Kingdom.

1:Thes. 5:10, ………wether we be watching or drowsing, we should be living
at the same time together with Him.

This scripture speaks of death as sleep , dozens of times.

Paul is merely mirroring the words of his Lord.
The woman in Matt. 9:18 had died yet Jesus said that she was drowsing,vs.24.

Paul said,” those who do drowse , drowse at night.
Since we are not of the night or darkness , we do not drowse. Those who are
not watchful concerning the things of the Lord are like drunks who drink and
sleep off their drunkenness at night. That’s the spiritual application.

We are to remain sober.
Acts 20:31…. Paul admonishes his disciples to watch. In Corth. 16:13 , Paul
commands , ,,, watch and Col. 4:2 …. In prayer, perserving , watching.


In the parable of the ten virgins , they all nod and drowsed.
The five that were locked out was because they were stupid
and didn’t buy any oil.

Yes, the many called and few chosen.

Rose, several years ago I downloaded all of Ray's papers, emails and additional teachings to my pc. I then installed an app called AstroGrep which allows me to search for specific keywords within a file, folder, and subfolders simply by right-clicking the folder the files are in.  It works fairly well for the most part.

  It’s interesting the virgins without weren’t just told to go away but they were told to go where the oil was and buy some for themselves.  And the virgins with the oil said they couldn’t give any of theirs.  What do you think that means for our time now ?  .

The first thing that comes to mind is “for many are called, but few are chosen”. — Mat_22:14

Thank you all for  your replies

God bless

Will watch both and comment privately.
Thanks, Bob

There are two very good videos on Noah's flood:  https://youtu.be/3myuXca7hkc  and  https://youtu.be/Fie4lGQ_9kU

Bob, I remember this coming up some while back and I asked you to watch the second link. Did you ever watch it? Because you say things that cannot be backed up with science or scripture.

Noah's flood was a local flood and Ray proves it in both videos.

Brief explanation of the flood.

There presently are great volumes of underground water that we can drill for and use.
In the past there apparently was a lot more of it and keeping it underground originally protected from evaporation.
In the past the mountain ranges were much smaller and lower and rose up due to movement of the continental land plates
causing sharply inclined strata which is evident to the casual viewer in parks in every continent around the earth.
Pictures are available on YouTube.

So according to scripture the rain was caused to fall continuously for 40 days AND stored ground water or the fountains of the great deep shot up in
a manner similar to a volcanic eruption..
Why does that seem unlikely? Is anything too hard for God?

If the several mountain ranges are very high now due to earthquakes we may logically suppose that the earth was relatively
flat before Moses' time. Remember there had been no rain prior to that time.
So perhaps covering all the earth's mountains would only require enough water to rise to 5000 feet.
There is presently in our oceans enough water to cover the whole earth at a depth of 1 and 1 half miles if the earth were flattened.

On an aside I believe that the mountain ranges will be brought back down and the sea floor will be brought back up when our Lord returns and we will have much more arable land for growing crops and grazing cattle and building cities.

Please do not let the impossibility of events described in scripture lead you to doubt God's power.
These things we call miracles are child's play for God.

Porter, you must have the touch - how did you find all that ?  Thank you so much. 

Porter, that is so interesting.  It’s the second time in a week someone has brought up the Ten Virgins for me to read.  It’s interesting the virgins without weren’t just told to go away but they were told to go where the oil was and buy some for themselves.  And the virgins with the oil said they couldn’t give any of theirs.  What do you think that means for our time now ? Then  of course it was too late for the groom. 
  The rivers must have all gone up and up and up and  everything was flooded .
