Five Wise and Five Foolish Bridesmaids. Three Administration Servants The Sheep and the Goats

5 Foolish Bridesmaids: 11-12 “11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ 12 But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’” Lazy “Foolish” Servant: 28-30 “28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’”

(Matt 24:31 - Angels | 40-41 - Rapture) Matt 25:31-32 “31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats...” (Matt 24:31 - Angels | 40-41 - Rapture)

Is salvation a reward for good works?

Matt. 25:41 & 46 “41 Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.’” … “46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Matt. 40 & 45 “40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’” … “45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’”

Start with one!

James 2:14-18 “14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”

Revelation 22:12 "Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done.”
