Five is used to represent redemption .Five redeemed, five, fifty, five hundred . Ten, hundred, thousand represent the the whole . Five redeemed five not .~
It's commonly assumed the oil in the parable relates to the Holy Spirit, but had the
five girls returned with the Holy Spirit, the host would've readily allowed them
entrance because in the New Testament the Spirit is depicted as both an owner's
identification and a token of one's acceptance. (2Cor 1:21-22, Eph 1:13-14, & Eph 4:30)

2 Kings 1: 7 And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite. Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly. And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
