[UntoHim]

We may want to keep in mind just who it was that the Lord Jesus was addressing. Was it just the Jews? Was it a mixed crowd? Should we take into account the norms and culture of the day? Is there any consensus of interpretation between a good number of well-known and trusted teachers and scholars?

Ohio gives a plausible interpretation....and I believe this was more or less what Nee and Lee taught regarding this parable. (which doesn't make this interpretation right or wrong) One problem I do have with this particular twist on this one is that if the oil represents the Holy Spirit then the five foolish virgins cannot be believers because they do not have any oil to start with...they do not have the Holy Spirit to start with....doesn't sound like believers to me.
