What is the history of a lamp? Today, many of us own at least one but this household item didn't always come with a bulb and lampshade. 🛋️
Lamps used to be transportable, contain oil and burn a wick, much like a candle. 2000 years ago, Jesus explained the true meaning behind the lamp stand and it isn't what we would think.
In the story of the 10 virgins (Matthew 25), He teaches there being 5 with oil in their lamps and 5 without. Jesus then compares these 10 individuals to us, the Kingdom of Heaven.
Having no oil and being unprepared for Jesus' return, they are shut out by God. The ones who were wise and ready, were allowed to dwell with God. Scripture states we get this oil from a dealer or merchant and The Lord has them here today!

Jesus spoke in parables throughout His whole ministry on the earth (Matthew 13:34), to determine who had (spiritual) eyes to see and ears to hear, to give them the understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 13:10-11). We cannot fall into the trap that Jesus was just telling a story; no, it’s a warning to the Church for those with illuminated understanding.
According to the scripture above, the difference between the wise and foolish was the possession of oil. The oil is referring to the Holy Spirit, the teacher and counselor (John 14:26).
The Holy Spirit is what enlightens us to the understanding of the revelation of Christ. It is much more than just knowing we need Jesus, as we will discover in the writings of the Early Church.
