The Parable of the 10 Virgins, Matt. 25,
Future or AD70, takes a look at the timing
of Christ’s return.
Here the Lord expands upon the teaching
of chapter 24:36, that no man knows the

consider the parallel texts in Luke 17
We are given clear examples of how
to interpret passages using “those days”
and “that day” in ...

After giving some thought about living in a world without traditional marriages, the following thoughts occurred to me. If there were no marriages, eventually, population numbers would significantly decrease. This would temporarily lower the unemployment rate.
However, with smaller populations, the world’s productivity will also cease, so we won’t be as efficient and productive. Next, ...
