2A Virgins signify believers viewed from the aspect of life; the believers, the kingdom people, are like chaste virgins, bearing the Lord’s testimony (the lamp) in the dark age and going out of the world to meet the Lord; for this they need not only the indwelling but also the filling of the Holy Spirit — 2 Cor. 11:2; Luke 11:13:
4a The believers shine forth the light of the Spirit of God from within their spirit; in order for the divine light to shine into man’s inward parts, God’s Spirit as the oil must soak (mingle with) man’s spirit as the wick (cf. v. 16) and “burn” together with man’s spirit (12:11).
5b Thus, the believers become the light of the world and shine as a lamp in the darkness of this age (Matt. 5:14-16; Phil. 2:15-16), bearing the testimony of the Lord for the glorification of God.
62 Went forth (Matt. 25:1) indicates that we believers do not settle or linger in any place; instead, we are going out of the world to meet the coming Christ as our Bridegroom.
73 As the Lord’s seeking ones who are waiting for the Lord’s coming, we are going out with Him to meet Him by leaning on Him as our Beloved, trusting in Him helplessly and constantly enjoying Him as our “going-out” strength to leave the world behind — S. S. 8:5a.
102 Having oil in our lamp is to have the Spirit of God dwelling in our spirit; taking oil in our vessel is to have the Spirit of God filling and saturating our soul that we may be enabled to live the virgin life for the Lord’s testimony — Matt. 25:4, 9-10.
113 我们有那灵在我们重生的灵里;但问题是,我们是否有额外的那灵在我们魂里。
113 We have the Spirit in our regenerated spirit, but there is a question as to whether or not we have an extra portion of the Spirit in our soul.
124 The prudent virgins took oil in their vessels with their lamps; this signifies having an extra portion of the oil by being filled with the Spirit in our soul for our transformation — 2 Cor. 3:18.
13C One of the best ways to gain the oil, to receive more of the Spirit, is by musing on God’s word in order to have intimate fellowship with Him in a spirit and atmosphere of prayer — Psa. 119:15, 23, 25, 27, 48, 78, 97, 99, 148; John 6:63; Eph. 6:17-18.
