[1] {shall}
This part of the Olivet discourse goes beyond the "sign" questions of
the disciples
# Mt 24:3
and presents our Lord's return in three aspects:
(1) As testing profession, vs 1-13 (2) as testing service, vs 14-30;
(3) as testing the Gentile nations, vs 31-46.
[2] {virgins}
The kingdom of heaven here is the sphere of profession, as in Mat 13.
All alike have lamps, but two facts fix the real status of the foolish
virgins: They "took no oil," and the Lord said, "I know you not."
Oil is the symbol of the Holy Spirit, and "If any man have not the
spirit of Christ, he is none of his"
# Ro 8:9
Nor could the Lord say to any believer, however unspiritual, "I know
you not."

[1] {And before him}
This judgment is to be distinguished from the judgment of the great white
throne. Here there is no resurrection; the persons judged are living
nations; no books are opened; three classes are present, sheep, goats,
and brethren; the time is at the return of Christ (v. 31); and the scene
is on the earth. All these particulars are in contrast with
# Re 20:11-15
The test in this judgment is the treatment accorded by the nations to
those whom Christ here call "my brethren." These "brethren" are the
Jewish Remnant who will have preached the Gospel of the kingdom to all
nations during the tribulation. See "Remnant"
# Isa 1:9 Ro 11:5
The test in
# Re 20:11-15
is the possession of eternal life. See, for the other six
judgments:
