I believe this is about the extreme importance of being prepared for the Lord's coming. Five of the virgins failed to bring oil for their lamps while the other five brought oil. When the bridegroom arrived, the five that had no oil were not accepted by the bridegroom...he stated "I know you not." Get your house in order, pray and be prepared for the coming of the Lord.

Perhaps the five foolish virgins are an analogy for the five physical senses, which we are told not to be guided by them.

Virgins here being the pureness of Christians.This parable is reminiscent of Matthew 24 41.Not all christians go to Heaven but the ones who have washed their robes in the Blood of the Lamb and made them white . Wisdom is needed.
