A crisis is ahead of us. From the fields of politics and science; voices all over the world are warning of a coming oil crisis in which demand will soon exceed supply; bringing chaos to society. But few voices are warning of an even greater crisis coming upon our planet—a spiritual oil crisis. This oil crisis is vividly portrayed in the parable of the ten virgins who went forth to meet the Bridegroom. Five were wise; five were foolish. The foolish did not possess enough oil to keep their lamps lit in the darkness of night and in preparation for the coming of the Bridegroom. Similarly; many professed Christians will not have enough of the Holy Spirit to be kept from the deceptions of darkness that will come upon the world just before the second coming of Christ. We are indeed headed for the greatest crisis this world has ever witnessed. This book takes an in-depth look at the parable of the ten virgins; and shows the reader how to be prepared for the coming time of trouble. It will answer the following questions: How can I prepare for the crisis? What is the outpouring of the latter rain? Does the latter rain occur before or after the time of trouble? What is the light that is to lighten the earth with glory? What will it take for Christ to return? As you study this book with your church or small group; prepare to be challenged to come up higher in your Christian walk and study of God's Word. It is time for God's people to arise and shine. God is waiting on us.
