The book of Numbers is the fourth book of the Torah and follows the Israelites during their 38-year wilderness journey.

Matthew 25 includes three significant parables spoken by Jesus. The first is 'The Parable of the Ten Virgins,' which emphasizes the importance of being prepared for Jesus' return, as five wise virgins have oil for their lamps while five foolish ones do not. The second parable is 'The Parable of the Talents,' where a master entrusts his servants with talents (a form of currency) and rewards those who use them wisely while condemning the one who does not. The third section describes the final judgment, where Jesus separates people into two groups based on their treatment of others, symbolized by the sheep and the goats.
