Matthew 25
- In the parable of Matthew 25:1-13, five virgins were prepared with oil. Jesus calls them wise. He calls the other five foolish for not having oil with them. He concludes the parable saying, "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour." What is He telling us to do?

- Kings of Judah had always been descendants of David from the tribe of Judah. Priests were descendants of Aaron from the tribe of Levi.

- The people of Judah had been fasting for many years to commemorate the destruction of Jerusalem.
