Shinchonji Bible Study:

The Lamp and Oil that Jesus told

The Lamp and Oil to Receive Jesus at His Second Coming

Main reference: Mt 25

In Matthew 25, Jesus said that those who do not prepare the lamp and oil cannot receive the bridegroom Jesus, and they will be left outside the wedding banquet.

What is the lamp and oil that one needs to prepare in order to receive the Lord when he returns?

Is Jesus referring to a literal lamp and oil?
Or are they metaphors? According to the Scriptures “I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old,” (Ps 78:2), Jesus “did not say anything to them without using a parable” (Mt 13:34-35).

What does the lamp and oil symbolise? Jesus told this parable using the ancient Israelite wedding banquet custom. In those days, the Israelites held their wedding banquets at night. Each bridesmaid would carry a lamp to receive the bridegroom and lead him into the house and into the room where the bride waits.
