And Virgin means Virgin.

And lamps means lamps.

So, if there every really is a Rapture there's going to a huge number of disappointed Protestants since only Virgins with lamps will meet the groom.

SP, don't you just love the way Catholics "prove" that Genesis 1-11 is a big parable by quoting a parable that is clearly labeled a "parable" in the text?

It reminds me of the Catholic who claimed you can't interpret the Bible literally because if it did G-d would have a beard made of sheep (Song of Solomon). The thing is, interpreted literally, the text of SoS isn't referring to G-d but to a "beloved." It is allegory that declares--correctly, to be sure--that the "beloved" represents G-d.
