“The parable refers first to Peter and the disciples (‘ye which have, etc.,’ 19:28), teaching them that while their fidelity shall be rewarded, priority in the time of their call, and important results of their labors, do not entitle them to a higher reward than others may receive, who are called after the age of the apostles, but who exhibit equal faith and love.” (Volume 2, Pages 98–99)
“The former—the parable of the Ten Virgins—principally illustrates the uncertainty of the hour of death, and the importance of being at all times prepared for it.” (Volume 2, Page 264)
“Moses never could have believed in a resurrection of the dead, when he committed his laws to writing. Notwithstanding the profanity and impiety of these men, the Lord, for the sake of others who desire to learn, explains the subject fully, with His usual holy and calm dignity, and with divine and unerring wisdom.” (Volume 2, Page 177)
“ enough oil for themselves only, direct the others to resort to the same source which had supplied them” (Volume 2, Page 271)
“the door of heaven will never be reopened! The ‘great gulf’ between heaven and hell is impassable” (Volume 2, Page 272)
