Matthew 25 and the Laodicean Church

Did you know Mr.Armstrong taught that Matthew 25 represented the Laodicean Church just before Christ's second coming?
They are presented as 10 virgins.
Mr.Armstrong explains this in his article: What Lies Ahead NOW?
Good News January 1984 - http://good-news.wwcg-archives.com/1980-1986/Good%20News%201984%20%28Prelim%20No%2001%29%20Jan.pdf#page=3
All of God's true Church today, although the Philadelphia Church, are battling with the laodicean attitude. What the laodiceans learn to do AFTER the Great Tribulation, we must already be learning BEFORE, RIGHT NOW!
Already, we battle with false brethren calling themselves by the name of Christ.(Rev. 3:9)
Satan inspired the foolish virgins(since they were away from Christ, away from Prayer, Bible Study, Fasting) to go to those who were following Christ at this future point, who were drawing closer to God, to demand the wise virgins to GIVE TO THEM their Holy Spirit, their gifts, their blessings, their crowns.
Satan is doing that today. And we must watch out.
There are people and websites, and groups, that want God's people with them, because they want God on their side. But that is like the ark in the camp of the Philistines. It will bring them curses all the more!
God's people are being called OUT of these false groups of this world. But those lacking in prayer, fasting and bible study, are too far away from God to realize the trap Satan has got them in.
They want to serve God, but they want to fellowship with this world.
And so they will have to make the same decision we are making today. Whether they will turn to God and Hold Fast or not.
So read Mr.Armstrong's article today. Learn how Satan is going to attack our brethren in the Great Tribulation, and realize he is doing it today with us. We must be careful of the laodicean attitude,. It is not that era, yet.
Continue strong brethren.
In Christ's service,
