THIS IS THE GOSPEL
The Midnight Cry
Text: Math. 25-6—“ And
at midnight there was a cry
made, behold the Bride
groom cometh go ye out to
meet him."
The parable of the ten
Virgins is a parable of the
Church, and its condition
at the rapture. Mathew, 25;
tells us there were ten Vir
gins, five were wise and five
were foolish. When the cry
was made, behold the Bride
groom cometh, go ye out to
meet him. The foolish found
out they had no oil in their
lamps. They were unprepar
ed to meet the bridegroom.
But the wise were ready,
• \Jtheir lamps were trimmed
and their vessels were filled
with oil. Our text states the
foolish then went to the
wise, and said give us of

Bvr-svitle, M. C. And SAVE
your oil our lamps have
gone out. This is certainly
a picture of the Church to
day. She is decked out In
tb* fa-ments of the world,
Worldliness, and comprom
ise has killed her voice
against Sin. Socials, T. V.
programs, keeps many home
on prayer meeting nights,
and. on Sunday nights. Many
ajjf in a backslid state but
won’t admit it. Love for the
Church, one another, and
for God’s word has waxed
cold. I want you to notice
our text here. When the
Bridegroom came they that
were ready went in with
him to the marriage and
the door was shut. The
foolish virgins came then
and knocked and said, open
to us Lord, but the Lord said
Verily I know you not. While
setting here writing this ar
ticle, I am very much aware
that the midnight cry could
sound any minute. In (Luke
21, 34-35), Jesus said, “Take
heed that your
hearts be not overcharged
with surfeiting, drunkeness,
and the cares of this life and
that Day come upon you
unaware. For as a snare
shall it come upon all them
that dwell upon the face of
the whole Earth.’’ People
everywhere today are build
ing and making every nec
essary preparat'on to stay
here. This wlckid sinful
world is already timed for
the Judgements of God,
which will be pnured out
upon it during the Great
Tribulation period. In (II
Peter 3-10) the Bible says,
liiTllJn, inrtlllil ' Jill üßili iHiMiHiMMiii W‘ I
“the day of the Lord cometh
as a thief in the night, in the
which the Heavens shall
pass, away with a great
noise. And ! the elements
shall melt with fervent heat,
and the earth also and the
works which are therein
shall be burned up.” Its
going to be a hot time then.
But if Christ is your person
al Savior, and your sins have
been covered by his blood,
you have nothing to worry
about. Because you won’t be
here. The five wise virgins,
represents the portion of the
church that was raptured,
or caught away to meet the
Lord in the air. (Math. 24-
41) the Bible states, then
shall two be in the fleid, one
shall be taken and the other
left. Two shall be grinding
at the mill, one shall be
taken, and the other left.
When the midnight cry
sounds forth, there will be a
terrible panic. Mourning will
be the universal order of the
day all over the world. For
the sad fact that Christian
loved ones wll be missing.
The sad realty of having
been left behird to face the
tribulation will cause the
fool’sh virgins left, to start
a prayermeetin i but it will
be too late then, the door
will have been closed. Let
me ask you a very important
question friend, are YOU
ready forth s great event?
If you are not. you still have
time to get ready. Don’t put
it off as so many are doing,
you may wait too long. But
