With a few alterations to Matt 25:

1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten solar eclipse chasers, which took their maps, and went forth to meet totality.

2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

3 They that were foolish took their maps, and guessed they’d find glasses along the way:

4 But the wise took maps and their ISO compliant eye cover with them.

5 While the time tarried, they all slumbered and slept, and appreciated the generosity of the local people in the area.

6 And at midday there was a cry made, Behold, the eclipse cometh.

7 Then all those travelers arose, and donned their glasses.

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your eye protection; lest our retinas be burned out.

9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10 And while they went to buy, the glasses were nowhere to be found; and the eclipse came. They that were ready rejoiced to see the perfect timing of the Father’s Universe: and the time passed.

11 Afterward came also the other travelers, saying, Lord, Lord, we wish to see it too, we knew it was coming, we just needed more time.

12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

13 Watch therefore, that ye be ready for the Son of man cometh.

Yes, I’ve joined the throngs waiting to see this marvel. 🙂
