Event: Midnight Cry

The concept of the “Midnight Cry” is deeply rooted in Christian eschatology and is often associated with the parable of the ten virgins in the Gospel of Matthew. This parable, found in Matthew 25:1-13, serves as a metaphor for the readiness and vigilance required for the second coming of Jesus Christ. Here, I will explore the meaning of the “Midnight Cry,” its biblical context, and its implications for believers

The Parable of the Ten Virgins

Matthew 25:1-13 (NKJV)

“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’
