The Wise and the Foolish Virgin

Jan Adam Kruseman • Though it tarry, wait for it

“And though the believers could not explain their disappointment, they felt assured that God had led them in their past experience.”

“Prophecies Fulfilled”

Patience and faith in a time of waiting

When the expected time passed, the believers had to learn to wait. Notice the Bible passages that spoke of a “tarrying time”, and how the parable of the ten virgins helped them understand their experience.
