If you add all of these together it really seems that the Lord is admonishing his disciples to be ready to rock and roll. Could this be what the Lord is talking about. I have heard this parable interpreted two different ways, first that it is a prophesy regarding the Roman conquest in AD 70. Those who were ready, and left found comfort and their needs met in another place by the Lord's provision. The other interpretation is the more popular today and is entirely eschatological.
People get ready.
Jesus is coming soon. I want to take another view. We must be ready to rock and roll. We must be ready to rumble. This means several things.
