What does the Bible say about the parable of the wise and foolish virgins?

Answered in 1 source

The parable illustrates the importance of being spiritually prepared for Christ's return.

In Matthew 25, Jesus tells the parable of the wise and foolish virgins to emphasize the necessity of being ready for His return. The wise virgins brought extra oil for their lamps, symbolizing the Holy Spirit, while the foolish ones did not and were left outside when the bridegroom arrived. This teaches that true believers, indwelt by the Holy Spirit, will be prepared and recognized by Christ, while those without the Spirit will be excluded from fellowship with Him.
