This is the second part of Jesus' parable about the wise and foolish bridesmaids. They had waited a long time for the bridegroom who surprised them by his unexpected arrival, in the middle of the night. The wise ladies had prepared themselves with extra oil to fuel their lamps, just in case it was necessary. The foolish ones had to go out to buy oil but when they got back, the lamp-lit procession from the bride's house to the home of her new husband was over. The doors were locked. They were too late.
 

The investor had placed significant sums of money with his servants, before he went on his travels, trusting them to do good business and produce a profit. The servants were not given equal amounts to invest and trade with. Each had as much as his master knew they could handle. After a long time, the boss returned. He wanted to know what they had done with the money entrusted to them. They might have used it for themselves, squandered it on risky commercial ventures or gambled it in the hope of making quick and easy money.
 

These verses describe the core of what will happen when Jesus comes again. The whole event will be cosmically awesome – the glorious presence of Jesus surrounded by every single angel. He will be seen to be the King of everything and everyone, and nobody will argue that He is not. Such obvious authority and power will make everybody come to Him. How, we do not know (just as we do not know how males and females of every type of animal came to Noah's Ark), but they will.
 

The popular image of Jesus is that He is a benign person who loves everybody and will not harm anybody. Certainly He is not in any way bad or malignant; and He does love all that He has made (Psalm 145:9). But He will also be a righteous judge: patient yes, but indulgent, no. All the people who do not love Him will be separated out and their destiny will be the same as that of the devil and the demons. If that seems like strong language, it is exactly what Jesus said in these verses.
