When The Door Closes
FEBRUARY 10, 2026
Daily Reading—Exodus 34-35 / Matthew 25:1-30
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Matthew 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
Many today believe they will receive Christ after the rapture, during the tribulation, if they miss it today. Many who never heard of Christ will indeed be saved then. The problem is, the Bible never teaches that those who have heard, understood, and rejected the truth of the gospel will get a second chance.
Jesus returns for His bride. When? He comes at the rapture before the time of tribulation. Today’s passage tells us all who knew of Christ but did not possess His Holy Spirit, pictured by the oil, at Christ’s appearance, were shut out. When they cried to God, it says in Matthew 25:12, “But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.” When the door closes on those who knew of Christ and refused Him, it locks.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Are you ready for the Groom to come?
Is your lamp burning bright with the Oil of God?
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?
Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What are the things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
