Vad är de kloka jungfrurna egentligen?

Herren Jesus sade: ”Då skall det vara med himmelriket, såsom när tio jungfrur togo sina lampor och gingo ut för att möta brudgummen. … De förståndiga åter togo olja i sina kärl, tillika med lamporna. … Men vid midnattstiden ljöd ett anskri: ’Se brudgummen kommer! Gån ut och möten honom.’ Då stodo alla jungfrurna upp och redde till sina lampor. … och de som voro redo gingo in med honom till bröllopet, och dörren stängdes igen” (Matteus 25:1,4,6-7,10).



Från Herrens ord lär vi oss att kloka jungfrur är de som proaktivt kan söka och undersöka när människor vittnar om att Herren har återvänt, och som kan acceptera sanningen och följa Guds fotspår efter att ha känt igen Herrens röst. Precis som Gud säger: ”Mina får lyssna till min röst, och jag känner dem, och de följa mig” (Johannes 10:27).

God says: “Today, all those who follow the present words of God are in the stream of the Holy Spirit; … ‘Following the work of the Holy Spirit’ means understanding the will of God today, being able to act in accordance with the present requirements of God, being able to obey and follow the God of today, and entering in accordance with the newest utterances of God. Only this is someone who follows the work of the Holy Spirit and is in the stream of the Holy Spirit. Such people are not only capable of receiving God’s praise and seeing God, but can also know God’s disposition from the latest work of God, and can know man’s conceptions and disobedience, and man’s nature and substance, from His latest work; furthermore, they are able to gradually achieve changes in their disposition during their service. Only people such as this are those who are able to gain God, and who have genuinely found the true way. …
All who are able to obey the present utterances of the Holy Spirit are blessed. It does not matter how they used to be, or how the Holy Spirit used to work within them—those who have gained the latest work are the most blessed, and those who are unable to follow the latest work today are eliminated. God wants those who are able to accept the new light, and He wants those who accept and know His latest work. Why is it said that you must be a chaste virgin? A chaste virgin is able to seek the work of the Holy Spirit and understand the new things, and moreover, able to put aside old conceptions, and obey the work of God today. This group of people, who accept the newest work of today, were predestined by God before the ages, and are the most blessed of people. You hear the voice of God directly, and behold the appearance of God, and so, throughout heaven and earth, and throughout the ages, none have been more blessed than you, this group of people” (“Know God’s Newest Work and Follow His Footsteps” in The Word Appears in the Flesh).

Kloka jungfrur har fastställt att Herren har återvänt genom att höra hans röst och skåda hans framträdande och verk. Således har de accepterat Guds arbete under de sista dagarna och följer Lammets fotspår och deltar i festen med Herren.
