Indeed, I agree with the conventional wisdom of interpretation for this parable. That said, I can't help but think that out there in the great some where their might at least be the possibility of a double entendre. Or a dual application as God is very good at this sort of thing, IMHO. In any event, God will be discriminate and just with whom He will allow into His home! But whether it be 5 virgins out of ten, or two asleep or at the grinding wheel the concept of 50% does seem to reappear. At least in language and metaphorically, if not in meaning. Can two walk together except they be agreed. Two witnesses to confirm a matter. The one flesh is made of two parts, etc! Just saying. TR
