- 00:54 OF A SET OF THREE.
- 00:55 ACTUALLY THE THIRD ACT
- 00:56 OF OUR MUSICAL PLAY,
- 00:58 "BELOVED THIEF."
- 01:00 AND AT THIS POINT, DVORAH,
- 01:01 THE BRIDE-TO-BE IN OUR PLAY
- 01:04 WEARS A VEIL WHEN SHE GOES OUT.
- 01:06 SHE DRANK THE CUP
- 01:07 AND SHE'S PROMISED
- 01:09 AND SHE WEARS A VEIL SO
- 01:10 THAT OTHER MEN WON'T BE ABLE TO
- 01:12 SEE HER FACE DURING HER
- 01:13 ENGAGEMENT PERIOD.
- 01:14 AND, YOU KNOW, THE VEIL
- 01:16 IS A SYMBOL OF THE FAITH.
- 01:18 THE WORLD CAN'T VERY WELL
- 01:19 DESCRIBE THE BELIEVERS
- 01:20 BECAUSE THEY HAVE VEILS OF
- 01:23 FAITH, THEY HAVE
- 01:24 A CONTRACT BEHIND THE SCENES
- 01:25 WITH THE BRIDEGROOM
- 01:26 AND THEY'RE WAITING
- 01:27 FOR HIM TO COME.
- 01:28 AND SO THEY ACT DIFFERENT
- 01:29 THAN THE WORLD.
- 01:30 THE WORLD DOESN'T
- 01:31 RECOGNIZE THEM BECAUSE
- 01:31 OF THEIR VEILS.
- 01:33 ONCE YOU'RE PROMISED,

- 19:36 THE ANCIENT HEBREW BLESSING:
- 19:38 BLESSED ART THOU,
- 19:39 O LORD OUR GOD,
- 19:40 KING OF THE UNIVERSE,
- 19:41 CREATOR OF THE FRUIT

- 20:02 NO DOUBT ABOUT IT,
- 20:03 ALL THE YOUNG MEN CAME BACK
- 20:05 FOR THEIR BRIDES.
- 20:06 THE BRIDE WOULD BE ASLEEP
- 20:07 WITH HER LAMP AND HER VEIL
- 20:09 BY HER BED.
- 20:10 AND SHE WOULD HEAR THAT SHOUT.
- 20:13 AND SO IT SAYS IN OUR BOOK,
- 20:16 THE LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND
- 20:17 FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT.
- 20:19 IT WAS MIDNIGHT
- 20:20 AND A CRY WAS MADE.
- 20:22 REMEMBER THE 10 VIRGINS
- 20:23 THAT WERE WAITING FOR
- 20:24 THE BRIDEGROOM?
- 20:25 FIVE HAD OIL IN THEIR LAMPS
- 20:26 AND FIVE DID NOT.
- 20:29 THE OIL MEANT THEY WERE
- 20:30 REALLY READY TO GO IN THE DARK.
- 20:32 BUT THE FIVE VIRGINS WITH NO OIL
- 20:34 DIDN'T THINK HE WAS REALLY
- 20:35 COMING THAT NIGHT.
- 20:37 DO YOU THINK
- 20:38 HE MIGHT COME TONIGHT?
- 20:40 THAT WEDDING CONTRACT
- 20:41 SAID THE BRIDE HAD
- 20:42 TO BE WAITING EVERY NIGHT.
- 20:44 ARE YOU FILLED WITH OIL?

- 20:48 WE'RE READY TO GO WHEN HE COMES.
- 20:51 WELL, WE CAN'T FINISH THE
- 20:53 WEDDING STORY ON THE STAGE
- 20:55 BECAUSE THE BIG WEDDING

- 21:05 WE ALL DRINK IT AND IT'S
- 21:06 THE PASSOVER CUP,
- 21:07 THE COMMUNION,
- 21:09 THE CUP OF THE LORD'S SUPPER.
- 21:11 YOU KNOW, YOU LADIES TURN DOWN
- 21:12 SOME CUPS IN YOUR LIFETIME.
- 21:14 AND WHEN THOSE ANCIENT
- 21:17 PROSPECTIVE BRIDES DIDN'T LIFT
- 21:18 THE CUP, WHY, THAT YOUNG MAN
- 21:20 DIDN'T COME BACK.
- 21:21 BUT WHEN THEY DRANK
- 21:22 THAT ONE CUP,
- 21:24 THAT ONE ALWAYS CAME BACK.
- 21:26 WHEN THEY SERVE YOU THE LORD'S
- 21:27 CUP, DRINK IT.
