Matthew 25:1-13 talks about ten virgins waiting for the Lord to come back. Five were wise and five were foolish. The wise took oil with their lamps, while the foolish didn't. This could represent persecution. Oil is referred to as persecution in Psalm 141. The wise virgins will go when the rapture takes place and not the foolish. All who will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
Then Jesus said He will divide all people into sheep and goats when He comes. The sheep go to heaven and the goats are destroyed. The sheep are the ones who've been helping the poor and needy, while the goats haven't.
Then James chapter 5 talks about two groups of people. The rich are hoarding up gold and silver. They've been defrauding workers of their wages, perhaps by outsourcing jobs overseas or allowing illegal aliens in to take people's rightful jobs. Then these same people have been condemning and killing the just, perhaps in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Bible says God hears the cries of the poor workers who've been defrauded of their wages and sides with them. Jesus is coming again soon. What group are you in?
