1 | Matt 25:5 Why Bridegroom delayed?? | Matt 25:5 | starfire | 190825 | ||
What were some of the reasons the bridegroom was delayed? There was no polygamy in Jesus' day so was this referring to the customs/rituals of Jewish followers from years prior to Jesus?? I know the parable was to illustrate the need for readiness for Christ's return to claim the church (His bride), but am confused as to why the delay and why 10 bridesmaids...were they all to be brides of the groom or were they attendants to the bride? (Just wanting to comprehend the customs with this part of my question). Thank you Thank you |

Dear Starfire, There could have been a variety of reasons. I suspect this is simply a reference to the tarrying of our Lord (cf Acts 3:21). Might I suggest you read post #157835. It might be helpful for you in your study of parables. In Him, Doc |
