What is the Meaning of The Parable of the 10 Virgins (Matt. 25:1-13)?

[@cheryldellamano3374]

I could hear better if there wasn't music.

[@katiepeterson3909]

Andy, I love your teaching and I love these shorts, but please, ditch the music, it is distracting from the teaching.

[@Ali-H3444]

Agreed 👍

[@jab3593]

I hate the music. Lol

[@jeannemoorepa]

I agree!

[@morganmom194]

Agreed. I missed so much of the wisdom you had for us. I simply can’t hear what you are saying.😢

[@vdoniel]

Yep.

[@vintage-sq8tg]

Dr Woods, Thank you so very much for producing the shorts. Please do not use music for background. The music was very distracting, for me at least. Please, your explanation is enough. Your delivery and voice are a huge part of your gift. No need for any enhancement. Again, Thank you and may God richly bless all you, your family, your church.

[@driftwood5504]

same ! all Glory to GOD and from GOD

[@patriotofthearts117]

I totally agree on the music, distracting

[@tomcarlson423]

Yes, the music is very distracting, had to exit half way through!

[@MargaretYoung-sx1uy]

@@driftwood5504❤ amen it’s very distracting

[@s.b.6425]

Would have loved to listen but had to turn it off because of the music. Love your teaching, Dr. Woods. Hope you will do these with no music, your teaching needs no embellishment!

[@salinwa7105]

I agree with others about the music. About halfway I am having a hard time hearing you. I’d like to see this without music, also to probably share it. Love your short Q&A’s though! 🙏🏻😊

[@garrygull8354]

Do this video without the music in background

[@dancochrane617]

Why the annoying jazz music?? Ruined the whole message for me. What were you thinking???

[@dianelaver3643]

I agree, the music is a distraction to an otherwise profound message

[@karenreed6357]

To my favourite online Pastor who we have been following for 4 years 🙏 Not missing a sermon , PPOV or lecture when at a conference but this latest addition of music is forcing me to switch off Please Andy please could you remove the music it is a major distraction So difficult to hear your answer to this passage which is more misunderstood than correctly interpreted ! I wanted to share this bit now cannot as the hard of hearing will not be able to follow! 🙏

[@carola.6990]

Love the video. With all due respect, can do without music❤

[@jab3593]

Every time the music paused, I got excited thinking it was finally over so i could hear Andy. Them the music would start up again.😂

[@Alice-ll9et]

Please never add music to this kind of videos. We need to focus on the teaching of the Word of God, and not be distracted by loud inappropriate music. Thank you for your understanding. I think anyone who loves the Word of God would agree with this.

[@cindyboane1951]

Thank you so much for explaining the 10 virgins. I’ve heard different renditions but the way that you explained it actually makes perfect sense. I agree with Jane 316, and others. The background music is distracting.

[@SOG8014]

My absolute favourite teacher 💯💯💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@mrod68]

Mine too!!!!

[@Ken111490]

Mine aswell !!!

[@robinwilson3047]

It's really hard to understand with the music playing while he's talking

[@queenofprops]

I love that Dr. Andy Woods is doing these shorts -- and these short teaching is great. But please work on his mic volume/placement!

[@carolehammer9514]

Thank you JESUS for providing your followers with such excellent biblical teachers like Dr Woods! To GOD be the glory!

[@comfortcreekranch4948]

Love the teachings, but Oh the music was so distracting I couldn't hear what you were saying. We need the Word, Not the music.

[@MrCjsb]

An important message for many today - thanks! (But the music is very distracting.)

[@nothingelsetolose7661]

Wow I can't believe how much you clarified so much in such little time truly a gift doctor Andy Woods thank you so much and I think the music could be turned down just a little bit so we can hear more of your voice would be beneficial

[@senorblondie]

Couldn't finish it due to the music. Annoying and distracting imo.

[@audreyben-david1424]

Finally, this parable makes sense!!!! Thank you Dr. Woods!❤

[@Alan-tjj]

Amen .. !!

[@cat-bg3rv]

The music was a little too loud and distracting to hear Dr. Andy but it was great to hear his teaching on this! 😊

[@savagetruth777]

Thank you for this wonderful teaching brother. The music was a little distracting though. Grace and peace unto you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

[@MsJanetLouise]

The music is so distracting...but i love your teachings...

[@katherinebeers1181]

Andy, this was great. I love the fact that you are now doing "shorts". It's an easy way to explain scripture for those who are new in the Lord. BTW, I do my Bible studies through your regular teachings. Awesome!

[@mholland3317]

Thank you Dr Wood. You never talk down to us. Rather you teach us how to “rightly divide the Word of Truth!!! Great job with graphics too!

[@mholland3317]

Dr Woods.

[@DDee-oi6kn]

Love these short Q&A's.

[@stevendavis6759]

Thank you pastor Andy Woods for the excellent teaching.

[@rongoodman2844]

Soooo many watchmen get Matthew 24 and 25 wrong and just perpetuate confusion within the body of Christ by repeating it in the mainstream watchmen "echo chamber". I appreciate Pastor Andy's teaching.

[@elizabethwalter6310]

This is great! You make it so clear and perfectly understandable. The annoying music made me have to concentrate much harder, maybe that might help me remember it in the future 😂.

[@jab3593]

I had to listen 3 times, the music was so distracting.

[@vdoniel]

This is one of my favorite lessons Dr. Woods ever taught I saved it from PPOV#73. I never could get this parable figured out before. The short vids are great but I can't handle life without your full length messages😂❤

[@breebrown5610]

I like Andy Woods and wanted to keep listening but stopped halfway and gave up because the music made it difficult to listen

[@canceree]

Thank you for the teachings on The Parable of the 10 Virgins... However, I think we can eliminate the music 🎶 ...Love the teachings ❤. God bless. 😊

[@kathleenmckeithen118]

This is a great idea - especially with sort of confusing parts of the Bible which can be explained briefly like this one. I appreciate that you are doing this so much but sure wish there wasn't any music going while you are talking. 😁♥

[@John14-06]

This lesson is a CLEAR EXAMPLE of WHY GOD'S SHEEP NEED (require) a Shepherd!!!! Here...GOD makes it clear to HIS FLOCK!

[@ksr884]

Yes, great explanation of the 10 virgins. And also yes the music was a bit loud. It was nice background 🎶 music, it was a little hard to hear you bro. Woods. Thank you and God Bless.

[@jasonp.6470]

Awesome teaching once again. Next level…God bless you Pastor Andy!

[@BP-E]

Thanks Pastor Andy. Love this! MARANATHA!

[@abc-nk1jk]

Thank you and this quick Q&A format is awesome! I hope it continues.

[@nancyscofield4436]

Thank you for clarifying this

[@paulachasteen1220]

Dr. Andy, love your new Q&A shorts, you clarified so much for me, especially on context and chapter divisions, l understand this portion of scripture much better, unlike many others, I rather enjoyed the peppy background music, the balance just needed to be tweaked a little, or your volume needed to be turned up. Keep ‘um coming and thanks for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with us.

[@misty3891]

I have learned so much from him! Praise Jesus! The outlines are so amazing! I say that everytime I comment! Thank you for those outlines!

[@lizh7042]

I’d love to hear this, would you be able to out it up again without the music because its so hard to hear whats being said.

[@JaneFiore-d7r]

Paul and I are enjoying the shorts. They are very informative, but please, please, please lower the music or turn it off.

[@Ali-H3444]

Ditch the music 😊

[@findingmygracesamanthaside5489]

Your my favorite teacher , I wanted to listen but that music . I had to tune out

[@eighthoneknowsjesus9197]

That background music killed it for me. I couldn’t hear your voice very well !

[@myhappyspace4533]

Background music too noisy

[@gracielaumpierre2605]

This is awesome!! Thank you!!!!

[@patriotofthearts117]

Pastor Woods and production crew, I love the shorts!

[@ritasavelyev1222]

I love you guys put subtitles! I have a hard hearing. I can hear while wearing headphone. The music is fine to me, I guess everyone vote "no music". Thank you Andy! I love q&a Edit: I saw the ending, that's funny 😆

[@GodAMinuteGoJesusGo]

Appreciated brother

[@jaynelyone687]

the music was a little too much.

[@jeffreyking454]

I probably will be excoriated for saying this, but I thought the music fit perfectly with the tenor of the "short" video. Same for the image of the Italian sports cars. Even with all that, I took away a great little lesson in the Word. Blessings to Dr. Woods . . . please keep up the great work!

[@comfortcreekranch4948]

Love your shorts!!!!

[@godgivenglory5842]

Please no need for music it’s louder than the voice , I was unable to finish the video,thank you.

[@jphillips4509]

Thank you so much for these shorts. I listen to the full messages too because they are packed with biblical references and contextual descriptions. As for the music, perhaps turning it down will help. 😊

[@Anntsy]

I think you need a mic coz your voice was drowned out by the music. Tone down the music (unpopular opinion but I like it) and put a mic so your voice will sound better and without echo. Love the shorts and the spoof at the end🤩

[@keith692]

Spot on. We are His bride. We are not His bridegroom

[@tozwaldron]

Israel is His Bride, we are His Body.

[@essunshine380]

I love this but I’m hard of hearing and the music is so distracting not complaining just saying 😊

[@bartleby1807]

Good explanation, the "music" is very much disturbung. Very much. Greetings from Germany

[@kennethgilman3215]

As many others have stated, please ditch the music. I expect some guy to start singing at any time. And yes as others have said to it's very distracting

[@slimjim8364]

Thank you for the explanation Dr Woods. Please do more shorts...the music is a bit distracting but thank you nevertheless.

[@nw362]

Please change your background music. I feel like I'm at a restaurant. How about no music.....

[@jeannettemcg]

I like these and the jazzy music but I think Dr Woods’ audio could be better

[@kyonidesarkanthos7438]

Thank you for taking the time to go through this passage, explaining its context clearly.

[@rightlydividingtheword5430]

Pastor Woods I would love to discuss this further in that I am quite sure I can answer all your points with Scriptures. God Bless.

[@tadabrown9095]

For those of us using hearing aids, could this please be reproduced WITHOUT The music track? I’d really like to be able to hear this valuable teaching.

[@doug6280]

These are great so stoked, like the the funny ending 😂

[@MaryLewis-jt5jx]

Dr. Woods please no music not at all needed, Ty!!!

[@garyhirtz4392]

Volume problem.

[@tadabrown9095]

Music is quite distracting. - better without any music please. However, content is great.

[@LessThanZero-j6e]

The 10 Virgins are 10 Bridesmaids, who are responsible for preparing the Bride to meet the Bridegroom. This can only be Israel just after the end of the Trib. 1/3 believe, 2/3 cut off. Some that are cut off that survived want the benefits of the oil, too late. Great vid, Dr. Woods!

[@pirep777]

Ditch the music. Annoying and distracting.

[@incognitoprime9523]

I'm glad that there are captions/subtitles cause the background music is too loud and distracting. Either way, thank you for the insight 🙏🏼 😊

[@SincerelySapphire]

Yes, ditch the music! It's hard to hear Pastor Andy and it's distracting.

[@blostin]

So pastor Andy has got two Ferraris in his garage. LOL. Just a saint laugh. Pastor Andy, thank you for your teaching series.

[@kim5000]

Dont play music, especially this music.

[@jannyb9624]

I agree with all of the comments about the music accompanying your teaching. I love and appreciate your teaching and tell anyone I can about you, but this music kept me from focusing on what you were saying. Thank you for all you do!

[@pamcooper5837]

That background music is distracting and competes with a very poor qualify vocal.

[@jennajasin2331]

I would like to make a suggestion. Being hearing impaired the music takes away the speaking and makes it a challenge to understand what is being said. Could you not play it for those of us?

[@deliefiore]

The music is too loud and distracting

[@epd4111]

The music is a distraction !

[@pawsofkurdistaninternation1471]

the music in the background was so disturbing that i could not listen to the whole thing. additionally, i believe the 10 virgins divided in two means the following: Christians that are born again (with oil) and Christians that are carnal (not born again), one group makes it to the Wedding the others dont.

[@annwestra3020]

I love Andy Woods teaching! But this recording is absolutely horrible! It so bad I couldn’t grasp what Andy was saying. Why does there have to be beats of something mixed on with the teaching? Such a shame. Too bad people like me who are hard of hearing missed the whole message.

[@jab3593]

I know right. I couldn't hear him well at all. No music!

[@celebarond]

Also hard of hearing here. I love Andy Woods’ teaching, but couldn’t even finish this as I could not hear or understand. 🙁

[@murraymix]

I suggest no music in the back ground it’s not needed worldly and it’s distracting from an excellent scriptural truth… we love your teaching and ministry down here in New Zealand.

[@poa-wc9zz]

Many thanks, Pastor. Much appreciated.

[@fsmith4340]

I turned the sound off on my phone, so that I could read what he was saying without the annoying and distracting music. I wonder whose idea it was to use the jazz music 😞

[@janicemccreery8170]

Very interesting info, but the music was distracting.

[@myname-ns1rp]

Where is the full teaching sir?

[@Dani-dg4ut]

What’s with the background jazz music????? Who is adding that to your Q&A? It is so unnecessary. In fact could not continue listening as it was too distracting.

[@EnDefensadelaFe]

I love these shorts! I didn't know you had 2 Lambo! 😂

[@leonshen8093]

Ten virgins are not bride. None of them are. Many people use this parable to teach work-based salvations. This teaching clearly fails to understand what these 10 virgins represent. Context matters!

[@65gtotrips]

Lol…People are going to think Dr. Woods has a Lamborghini 😄

[@janicefrantz1831]

He's got two. 😮

[@firstinlastout]

He has 2 Ducatis, a Lambo Uranis, with rich first pressed cold olive oil olive, and marblized aged beef in his bunker underneath the church😂

[@firstinlastout]

@Joe Joe busted Andy 🤥

[@carlye.3093]

I have some friends that need to hear this message, but I am not going to forward it to them due to the loud jazzy background music

[@karynbanksley7110]

The music was horribly annoying and distracting, especially when trying to renew our minds to correct teaching about this difficult parable. Please delete the background music so that we can concentrate on what you are saying. Thank you!

[@Discerningthetruth]

Loved this short message, but that music .. not fitting, very distracting from the beautiful Word! :(

[@michaelbroadbent4639]

Why is there background music? It detracts from the lesson and makes it very hard to hear.

[@darleneprecious3661]

Please, no more music! It is distracting and I can’t hear this important message. ❤

[@johndoe-ri4nq]

Yes please ditch the music. Really interesting how a lot of Churches get this parable wrong because they believe in works for salvation. This parable is primarily used by partial rapturists. This is the reason why we have to study the Bible through a dispensational lens.

[@darlasnyder7869]

Thank you for this! So does this mean that the "wedding" does not take place until after the Tribulation (because the bridesmaids wouldn't be there before that)?...because that is different from the way I've been told.
