Notes
There is a widespread belief that the Millenium can't have started yet, or that the Second Coming isn't near, because the prophets would have told us plainly if either were the case. The Parable of the Ten Virgins, however, tells us otherwise. These members of the Church do NOT have a clear idea of when they are preparing for; not clear enough to be prepared, at least. It seems clear then that we, as members cannot expect a herald to come and clearly announce the coming of the Lord in time for us to make preparations.
