He is a Gift 25

Ten Virgins
At that time the Queen of the Heavenly Ones will be made like ten virgins who, those having taken hold of the Torches of their own selves, went out into an encounter with the Bridegroom.
Maiden hands, five and five.

Divided
And five from out of themselves kept being moronic ones, and five prudent ones.
For the Moronic Ones, those who took hold of the Torches of themselves, did not take hold of olive-oil in company with their own selves.
But the Prudent Ones took hold of olive oil within the Vessels in company with the Torches of their own selves.
Their Own Selves

"Seraphim" Flaming ones of herself.
Dont forget the olive oil
Song of Songs 8


νυστάζω - Hanging the Head Down
And while he, the Bridegroom is delaying, they all nodded the head, and they were laying down to sleep.
And of the middle of night she has become a scream: Behold! the Bridegroom! Come out into an encounter!
The Clock strikes Midnight.
"She who is holding in a Belly"

They Adorned the "Hidden Man of the Heart"
Then they woke up, every one of those Virgins, and they arranged in order the Torches of their own selves.
But the Moronic Ones said to the Prudent Ones, 'Give to ourselves from out of the olive oil of yourselves because the Torches of ourselves are being extinguished!'
Go to the Ones "Selling All and Buying That Field" (Matt. 13:44)
And they separated, the Prudent Ones, those who are saying, 'Lest it ever not be enough for ourselves and for yourselves, rather carry across toward the ones who are selling, and buy in the marketplace for your own selves!'

And the Human has recognized self eternal Life ("Eve"), a woman of himself, and she is conceiving and she is begetting self eternal Possession ("Qayin"), and she is saying, "I have purchased a man of self eternal He Is!"

(Genesis 4:1 RBT)

But while they, themselves are going away to buy in the marketplace, the Bridegroom came, and the Prepared Ones, they entered in company with himself into the Weddings and the Door was shut/locked.
Leah and Her Children: "Lord Lord!"
And lastly the Remaining Posterity are coming also, virgins who are saying, 'Master Master open to ourselves!'
No Man There"Master! Master!"

"I opened myself to the beloved of myself, and the beloved of myself turned around, he crossed over! The breath of myself, she went out in the word of himself! I sought after himself but I have not found himself; I summoned himself but he has not eyed myself!"

(Song of Solomon 5:6 RBT)

And the one who has been separated, he said, 'Trustworthy One, I am speaking to yourselves, I don't know yourselves!'
Therefore stay awake because you have not seen the Day, nor the Seasonal Time!47
For it is just like a human who is journeying abroad away from home; he summoned the Born Bondmen of his own, and he handed over to themselves the pre-existing things of himself.
τάλαντον - a balance Scale (pl. pair of Scales)
And to the one indeed he gave five balance scales, and to the other one two, and one to the other one, to each one according to his own powerful one, and he went abroad away from home immediately.
The one who has led across, he who has taken hold of the Five Balance Scales, he labored within themselves, and he gained five others.
Likewise the one taking hold of the Two, gained two others.
He Burrowed
But the one who has taken hold of the One, he who has departed, dug through an earthly one and concealed the Silver Piece of the Master of himself.
And in company with a very great chronological time the Master of those Born Bondmen is coming, and he is jointly taking up a logos ratio in company with themselves.
And the one who has drawn near, he who has taken hold of the five balance scales, brought five other balance-scales, he who is saying, "Master, you handed over five balance scales to myself. Behold! another five balance scales I have gained!
The Master of himself was bringing to light to self, "Well done born bondman, good one and trustworthy one, over little things you were being trustworthy, over many I will I set down yourself, enter into the Joy of the Master of yourself!
And he who has drawn near, also the one with the Two Balance Scales, said 'Master, you handed over two balance scales to myself. Behold! two other balance scales I have gained!
The Master of himself was bringing to light to self, 'Well done born bondman, good one and trustworthy one, over little ones you were being a trustworthy one; over many I will set down yourself, enter into the Joy of the Master of yourself!'
The Lop-Sided Imbalanced Scale
And he who has drawn near, also the one who has taken hold of the One Balance Scale, said, 'Master I have come to know that you, yourself are a hard human who is reaping where you did not sow, and he who is leading together from where you did not scatter abroad.
And as one who has feared, one who has gone away, I kept secret the Balance Scale of Yourself within the Earthly One. Behold, you are holding the one of your own!'
And he who has been separated, the Master of himself said to self, 'Pain-ridden bondman! And timid one! You knew that I am reaping where I did not sow and I am gathering from where I did not scatter abroad!
A talent refers to the balance scale or balance weight of the silver.

Therefore it was necessary for yourself to cast the Silver Pieces of Myself to the Bankers, and he who has come, I, myself would have provided for the one of my own in sync with childbirths!
Therefore lift up the Balance Scale away from himself, and give to the one who is holding the Ten Balance Scales.

The Five receives Five back for a total of Ten...

Add one more to him, he receives one more, for a total of Six and Six (Twelve).


Abounding all the way around
For to the one who is holding, the whole will be given, and he will abound all around, but to the one who is not holding, even whatever he is holding will be lifted up away from himself.
And cast the Useless Born Bondman out into the Outer Darkness, there he will be the Lamenting One and the Biting One of the Teeth.
And whenever he should come, the Son of the Human within the Glory of himself, and all the Angels in company with himself, at that time he will be seated upon a throne of a glory of himself.
And all the Herds will be led together in front of himself, and he will mark off themselves by boundary from one another just as the Shepherd is marking off the Sheep by boundary from the Goats.
He Adds/Ewe (Joseph/Rachel) last.

"In this way, he will be within the Joint-Completion of the Eternal One. The Angels will go out, and they will mark out by boundary the Pain-Ridden Ones from out of the middle of the Just Ones."

(Matt. 13:49 RBT)

Inner Sheep, Inner Goats
And he will, indeed, stand up the Little Sheep from out of right-sides of himself, and the Little Goats from out of good-disguised sides.
At that time, the King will say to those from out of the right-sides of himself, 'Come here, those who have been blessed of the Father of myself! Inherit the one who has been prepared for yourselves, a queen away from an implanting of an order!'
I was a Foreigner
For I hungered and you gave to myself to eat. I thirsted and you gave to myself to drink. I was being a foreigner, and you jointly led myself.
A naked one, and you threw around myself. I was weak and you examined myself. I was being within a prison watch, and you came toward myself.
At that time, the Just Ones will separate away to self, those who are saying, 'Master, when did we see yourself, he who is hungering, and we fed? Or he who is thirsting, and we gave to drink?
And at what time did we see yourself a foreigner, and led together? Or a naked one, and threw around?
And when did we see yourself, he who is being weak? Or within a prison-watch, and we came toward yourself?
And he who has been separated, the King, will say to themselves, 'Trustworthy One, I am speaking to yourselves, upon as much as you made for one of these ones, the Brothers of myself of the Littlest Ones, you made for myself!"
πῦρ - Fire, Funeral Fire, Sacrificial Fire, Hearth Fire
At that time he will say also to those from out of good-named/disguised ones, 'Traverse across away from myself, those who have been damned into the Eternal (aiōn) Sacrificial Fire, the one which has been prepared by the Accuser and the Angels of Himself!'47b
For I hungered and you did not give to myself to eat, I thirsted and you did not give myself to drink!
I was being a foreigner, and you did not lead together myself, a naked one and you did not throw around myself, a weak one and within a prison-watch, and you did not examine myself!'
At that time, they will separate, also themselves, those who are saying, 'Master, at what time did we perceive yourself, he who is hungering or he who is thirsting or a foreigner or a naked one or a weak one, or within a prison-watch, and we did not minister to yourself?'
At that time, he will separate to themselves, he who is saying, 'Trustworthy One, I am speaking to yourselves, upon as much as you did not make for one of these ones of the Littlest Ones, neither did you make for myself!'
κόλασιν - chastisment
And these ones will depart into an eternal (aion) chastisement, but the Just Ones into an eternal (aion) zoe-life.

47 (Verse 13)

The Greek ἐν ᾗ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεται. "in which the son of the man is coming" is a later addition and not in the earliest manuscripts.

47b (Verse 41)

The preposition ὑπό + genitive is the more usual, and explicit way in which agency is expressed:

ἡτοίμασται ὑπὸ τοῦ Πατρός

"prepared under/by the Father" (Matt. 20:23)

However, this is not the rule, and especially with the perfect passive tense it often expresses agency.

Smyth §1488: Dative of the Agent

The dative of agent with a perfect passive is a well-established usage in classical and Koine Greek. Used especially with:

    1. Perfect and pluperfect passives, and

    2. Verbal adjectives in -τός and -τέος.

Importantly, Smyth notes:

“The notion of agency does not belong to the dative, but it is a natural inference that the person interested is the agent.”

So the core idea is that the dative expresses the person concerned / interested, and from that concern, agency may be inferred — hence the ambiguity.

Examples:

  • ἐμοὶ καὶ τούτοις πέπρα_κται → “it has been done by me and these men” (D. 19.205).

  • τοσαῦτά μοι εἰρήσθω → “let so much have been said by me” (L. 24.4).

  • ἐψηφίσθαι τῇ βουλῇ → “let it have been decreed by the senate” (inscr.).

These are exactly parallel to τὸ ἡτοιμασμένον τῷ διαβόλῳ — so it can be “prepared by the accuser/devil” if the devil is construed as the interested/acting party.

BDF §1186

  • BDF states that the dative sometimes denotes the agent with the perfect and pluperfect passive, rarely with other passive tenses.

  • Examples:

    • ἐξετάσαι τί πέπρακται τοῖς ἄλλοις → “what has been done by the others.”

    • ἐπειδὴ αὐτοῖς παρεσκευάστο → “when preparation had been made by them.”

    • πολλαὶ θεραπείαι τοῖς ἰατροῖς εὑρήνται → “many cures have been discovered by physicians.”

Matthew 25:41:

  • ἡτοιμασμένον τῷ διαβόλῳ

    • As dative of interest: “prepared for the devil.”

    • As dative of agent (in Smyth’s sense): “prepared by the devil.”

Thus both readings are grammatically defensible. The decisive factor is context and usage preference:

  • NT Greek usually leans toward “for” (dative of advantage/disadvantage) in such constructions.

  • But grammarians (Smyth §1488, BDF §1186, §1187) confirm the agentive possibility is not only theoretically possible but attested.

(cf. Smyth §1488 - dative of the agent, esp. perfects/passives and BDF §1186, §1187)
