The next verse is one the people with an agenda of promoting false doctrine like to throw out. It’s the parable of the ten virgins. Weknow by reading the entire account that five virgins were let into the marriage and five were not. What did the bridegroom (Jesus Christ) say to these last five virgins? “Verily I say unto you, I know you not” Matthew 25:12 . Jesus never knew these last five virgins. Why, you might ask. Because they had no “oil” for their lamps (they were void of the Holy Spirit). They were not born again. You see, Jesus only knows and allows the ones into His Kingdom who have said yes to Him. “Yes Lord Jesus, I believe”. These are the folks who become born again from above. Everyone who places their faith, trust, and hope in Jesus Christ and Him alone for salvation is justified in God’s eyes and will inherit His Kingdom (they will be raptured) if they do so before the rapture takes place.The truth of the matter is this. All Christians will be Raptured. The problem is that not all people who say they are Christians are being truthful with themselves. It is not my place to judge whether or not a person is a Christian. God knows the heart of every human and He alone stands at the juncture of judging. But I can tell you this, He knows all who are His and He knows who will become one of His children before Christ’s return.

To correctly understand the parable of the ten virgins, you should actually put it in the perspective of preceeding warning. (Mt 24:45-51). It shows us that in the Christian faith, there are two kinds of servants: the known(friends) and unknown(Mt 7:21, 1Cor 8:2-3) . Though all servants who keep their faith till the end will be saved from damnation. Only the known will be part of the first resurrection(marriage of the lamb) which is the christian prize, that we are told to run in such a way as to obtain because if we don't, we won't obtain(1Cor 9:24-27). Paul knew he had to follow certain rules in order not to be rejected/lose this prize. The unknown in the last days will have to buy more time under the difficult, wicked reign of the antichrist to join this celebration in the millennium.(Rev 13:7,10 Rev 3:10). Believers are always taught in scriptures to make preparations towards this never to be complacent about it as in that lies danger of missing it. So in a nutshell, all believers(servants) who keep their faith till the end will be saved from damnation but only those who pay the price to be known will join in the wedding of the lamb(rapture), while others will go through tribulation of the antichrist into the millennium. There are of course more details but answers will come with their questions.

If all Christians will be ruptured, then who are those that went through the great tribulation as revealed by John in the book of Revelation.

Revelation 7:9-17.
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and HAVE WASHED THEIR ROBES, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Notice verse 14. It says they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

The fact that they had robes shows they were born again. They didn't get saved during the great tribulation. They misses the rapture but repented afterwards. They were all persecuted to death for holding on to their faith.

Only a few percentage of the church will make the rapture. The scripture says that Christ is coming for a glorious church without spot or wrinkle.

Stop deceiving yourself and others. A large percentage of the present day church are living in gross error and if they don't repent, they will miss the rapture.
