the five foolish virgins are out looking for future rapture dates thinking they can get the oil of annointing and be able to figure out what day the rapture will be. The five wise virgins patiently watch and wait every second of every day for Messiah Yeshua to return.
Where does it say the "bridegroom tarries 30 minutes" as false prophet 'James' claims???
Matthew 25
The Parable of the Ten Virgins 1"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6"At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'
7"Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'
9" 'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'
10"But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
11"Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!'
12"But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.'
13"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
chapter and verse numbers in the bible are man made and not divinely inspired. In the Tanach ("old" covenant) some of the verse and chapter numbers are different in the christianized bible than they are in the Tanach. Even the number of books is different because some are combined. Using books and chapter and verse numbers to divine any special message is using numerology and is not based on ANYTHING G-d gave us:

James (14 Feb 2009) "Rapture Feb. 18 2009 ?"
To all you 111 people: No one has mentioned Acts 1:11 yet. Also: when the bridegroom tarries “30 min” till midnight in the parable of the virgins, could that be a clue ? Meaning I heard reference to 1 day=1 year, so could 30 min=1/2 year ? That would certainly leave enough time for the foolish virgins to let their lamps go dry. Where would the starting point be ? I’ll let all you math people figure that out. I also wanted to mention that on July 21-22 (Av 1) is a new moon, a total solar eclipse & meteor showers (July 18-Aug). Matthew 24:29-35; Mark 13:24-31 & Luke 21:25-33. The word SUMMER seems to stand out to me. Just some cool stuff I wanted to mention. I don’t know when the rapture will happen but I know it’s close. James
