God is the Virgin Mystery

"But keep alive for yourselves all the young girls who have not known a man intimately." Num 31:18

I found it odd that God kept only those young girls who are virgins, not even any young men. I don't think that our God is an old fashioned God. He is the Alpha and Omega fashioned God.

What did He meant by keeping those young virgin girls?

I believe that those girls symbolized the Mysteries. It is not that those girls are the apple of His eyes, but they illustrated something. Once we died to our old selves, we were rebirthed by the Spirit, we turned into the young virgin girls in His eyes. It doesn't matter to Him if we are physically virgins or not before we get married or as we continued to be a single. Leave our old pasts here and change for the future. But it matters to Him if we are spiritually virgins as the follower of Christ.

He, the Virgin Mystery, wanted us to unveil Him a little by little, not all at once. He challenged us to pursue Him out of love. In the end we will see that He is romantic. He didn't intend to give us a hard time with the controlled revelations. We all love surprises, but hated to wait for them. Waiting will be worthy of your time.

In the same way, we may romantically give our friends, our family or our relationship a controlled revelations.
