    Mercy After the Door is Closed

    The shut door of this parable seems to have reference to an event that occurs before the actual coming of the Son of man in the clouds of heaven; for after the door is shut, the other virgins come and knock, and are told to “watch” because they know not the day nor the hour of his coming. Again, this door is shut after the wise virgins go in with the Bridegroom to the marriage.GSAM 215.2

    It would seem from the language used in this parable of the virgins that after the going in to the marriage there is still opportunity for even the “foolish” virgins to make an acceptable preparation to meet the Bridegroom. They are commanded to “watch.” Watching and waiting are features connected with the true preparation to meet the Lord. It would appear, therefore, that mercy is not withdrawn when the door in this parable is closed.GSAM 215.3
