Maranatha – Biblical Clay Oil Lamp & Filler – The Wise Virgins – Boxed Set from Israel

Jesus period replica ‘Maranatha’ Clay oil lamp and filler set.

FIVE OF THE VIRGINS WERE WISE AND READY TO MEET THE BRIDEGROOM!

In one of Jesus’ more difficult parables, He told the story of ten virgins waiting for the bridegroom to arrive. Jesus told His disciples that the point of the story was for His followers to always be prepared and ready for His return. Five of the virgins were wise and five were foolish. The wise virgins brought enough oil to last through the vigil as they waited. The foolish on the other hand did not bring enough oil. When the bridegroom came, the foolish were left scrambling for oil for their lamps. We do not know the hour nor the day when He will come.

This replica set from the holy land will aid you in your meditations on the coming of Christ. It was made by Christians in the Holy Land and contains an oil lamp that is a reproduction of a lamp found in an archeological dig. The included wicks ensure that you can actually light the lamp. This would make an excellent gift for a family member, pastor or church leader.

The most important part of the set is the story of the ten virgins from Matthew 25. The enclosed booklet, which tells that story, can be displayed alongside the lamp in your home or office. To be like the wise virgins whom Jesus commended, you should always be ready to welcome Him into His kingdom. That is the point of Jesus’ parable. When you use this lamp for light, for ambiance at a meal, or to illustrate the parable for others, you will be showing the necessity of being ready for His return.

The message of the parable is clear: be wise and ready. Jesus is coming soon.

Take a reminder of this important message with you when you go home. Be Wise and Ready. From Zak’s Jerusalem Gifts, the best source of authentic Christian antiques, gifts and jewelry in the Holy Land.
