[EliRoom8]

sue,
The LJC concludes the Parable of the Ten Virgins with an exhortation — not to be saved — but to be expectant.

Those who were ready went with him into the wedding. Then the door was shut.
11 “Later the other bridesmaids came and said, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us.’
12 “But he replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I don’t know you.’ (much of the interpretation here swings on the term “know.” )13 “Therefore, keep alert, because you don’t know the day or the hour.
He doesn’t end by saying, “Therefore, repent and be saved.” But from the context the LJC appears to be addressing believers, those who have been saved already.

When He said "I don't know you", He meant I DON'T KNOW YOU - as in, I never knew you... as in Matt. 7:23:22-23 "Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.’" He doesn't say "I once knew you, but now I don't". He says, "I never knew you."
