We're Ignoring Blindspots in Matthew 24: 'Watch, You Don't Know' Is About 2nd Passover ~ Days of Noah

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Summary: Seven parables focus on a single event to initiate end-times. Five have links specifically to 2nd Passover. Two are supportive of 2nd Passover, a phenomenon that Christians are largely uninformed of because preachers have ignored the law that Christ said was in effect ’till heaven and earth pass.’ Matt 5:18.

“It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings is to search out a matter,” Proverbs 25:2. God has concealed the starting point of end-times by His embedding the basis of His clues in the law that Christians ignore, in spite of Christ’s saying that not a jot would pass from it ’till heaven and earth pass.’

The issue is broader than just a word or two misunderstood because of translation. From the first page of the Bible, God put lights in the sky for signs and appointed times. The Hebrew word is mo’ed, the same word found in Leviticus 23:44 where seven holy convocations are “the feasts of the Lord.” They were ‘statutes forever,’ but Christians think God forgot those laws would be nailed to the cross and they side with the papacy in abolishing them as Jewish when God said, “These are My feasts.” Leviticus 23:2. They taught truths in the plan of salvation.

When we read that a King makes a marriage for His Son and invites guests who scorn the invitation because they don’t understand, we should realize it’s not really about steak and cake, but unleavened bread, Passover. All three wedding parables have Passover imagery and they offer conrast in destiny, depending on readiness.

Readiness is event-specific. If Christ were to show up in the sky, every Christian would be ready for heaven, but before that, if He is going to “come and knock,” (Luke 12:36) we might need to know that the only other place where Christ ‘knocked’ was for a lukewarm church that ended in an earthquake in 63 AD, serious knock.

But if we are ‘watching,’ we are ready to open to Him for a feast of unleavened bread that begins at Passover as suggested in the above passage, and if so, “He will make [us] ruler over all that He has,” verse 44. Because it’s a wedding parable, it has the same timing as the ten virgin parable in Matthew 25 which also shows calamity. The cry at midnight is a link to first place we find a midnight cry (Exodus 12:29) as calamity fell at Passover.

When five virgins missed the wedding, Christ ended the parable by saying ‘Watch…you don’t know [timing]… it’s like a man traveling to a far country.’ The word eido means to consider or understand. We don’t understand.

#1. ‘Watch’ is translated from gregoreo; it means to be awake. We can’t be awake every night; that’s unfair.

#2. Passover was the only night in the year that Israel was commanded to be awake, Exod 12:10; Matt 26:40.

#3. ‘You don’t know…it’s like a man traveling ot a far country’ is a clue for Passover in the 2nd spring month as shown in Numbers 9:10,11. Israelites didn’t travel in winter, and if they couldn’t get back to Jerusalem in time for Passover in the spring, they were to keep Passover in the 2nd spring month.

#4. This clue is a conjunction that connects Christ’s last two parables and it’s ALSO timing for the evil servant who begins to smite his fellow servants, because He said, ‘THEN shall the kingdom be like ten virgins…’

#5. ‘You don’t know, but if the goodman had known, he would have watched…’ Matt 24:43. The only reference that helps us is in the King James Bible, Proverbs 7:19. The goodman is on a long journey and he returns at the yom kece, full moon. Passover comes on a full moon, but long journey means 2nd Passover.

#6. ‘Learn a parable of a fig tree…when summer is nigh.’ Summer is not nigh in April, but it is at 2nd Passover.

#7. Two in the field, one taken, the other left. No one is in the field at Passover until after the wave sheaf is presented to the Lord, but they could be in the field at 2nd Passover. All seven parables, Matt 24:32-25:31 support a single huge 2nd Passover event, “as the days of Noah” when there was widespread loss of lives.

Why is 2nd Passover so strategic? Because a huge event then will be proof that Christ [His Hebrew name is Yahshua] was the Master who took the far journey. His return for a time of judgment and the wedding parables will fit Scripture. For the Jews to be building a 3rd temple to offer sacrifices is an insult to God who provided the lamb as Abraham said (Gen 22:8), as Isaiah foretold (Isa 53:7) and in the timing that Daniel gave at the end of the 70 weeks of years (Dan 9:25) that began in 457 BCE. They need the 2nd olive tree (testament) in Zech 4.

      The Edomite Jews have returned to rebuild the high places, see Mal 1:1-4

      Only two church types that Yahshua does not find any faults with, the church of Smyrna and the church of Philadelphia.

      A Christians should know what these two churches believed and taught. See Revelation chapters 2 and 3.

    • Crazy times

      Talking about blindspots !…SDA lawyers don’t know the real meaning of the “Glorious New Covenant” which has it’s “FULFILLMENT IN HIM” , they are part of the 5 foolish virgins and they will be left behind and their nakedness appears when the Bride disappears….Oh’ well you come as you are called.

      • jonesy

        …crazy…This doctor, and a bunch of others…like the judge…truthseeker, alphabet…etc. cant get the zionist spirit out of their worship….’come out of her’…said THE CHRIST.
        …They can’t begin to separate the old from the new. What they end up with is a mish-mash of confused, and prideful sophistry, that can’t be justified….

    • Dr Richard Ruhling

      Judge Roy,

      Your comments are true. The Edomite Jews are probably a reason why Zechariah 14:2 (destruction on Jerusalem) will be soon.

      Smyrna was the church “faithful unto death” but I believe we can be part of the wise virgins who get into the wedding and become the 144,000 virgins of Rev 14:4 that God will use to break the kingdoms of this world in Dan 2:35,45. Kingdom is dominion of a king and that’s were Israel failed when they ignorantly made a covenant they did not understand and worshiped a calf 40 days later. This must not happen to Christ, but we call Him “Lord,” which is the translated meaning of Baal (“lord”) There’s lots to learn and sadly most Christians will be depressed and disoriented when they aren’t “out of here” as they expect. For a better understanding of readiness, please read the article in the right column of http://MayJudgmentDay.com

      • Crazy times

        Doc obviously not of divinity.?

        ” but I believe we can be part of the wise virgins who get into the wedding and become the 144,000 virgins of Rev 14:4

        If you want to be part of the 5 wise virgins :arrow: the BRIDE and go to the wedding (Spiritual Israel)..”you must be born again from above”,

        to be one of the 144,000 virgins you would have to be in one of the 12 tribes of (PHYSICAL Israel) who don’t go to the wedding, ONLY the Bride does !! @ His appearing.

        So sadly most SDA will be depressed and disoriented when they aren’t taken (as the 5 wise virgins nor 1 of the 144,000 virgins) as expected, when the Lord descends by Himself and takes the Bride through the door to the wedding by Himself.Matt 25

        For a better understanding of readiness, please read your Own Bibles….and NOT stories from Doc who thinks he can get into the wedding disguised as one of the 144,000 :idea: :wink:

        • Crazy times

          Doc you said…. But I believe we can be part of the wise virgins who get into the wedding and become the 144,000 virgins of Rev 14:4

          Rev 14:4 (The 144,000)These are the ones who have not been defiled with women and have kept themselves chaste

          So are you implying that one has to be… literally a VIRGIN to go to your wedding as Rev 14:4 says so.

        • jonesy

          …crazy….its obvious to me that the ‘doctor’ is a Kenite agent….trying to ‘revise’ the the Word of God. I would not be too close to him come the 29th of September.
          on another note:
          ‘The season of the locust’ is about to commence, and “let loose” a swarm of hungry and profane, minions of evil…into what’s left of the “free” world… (could be millions of them). Our own government has made this possible, here. The season is a five month period….May through September. The last phase of the locust’s lifespan is called “the devourer”.

    • Dr Richard Ruhling

      Crazy Times,

      You are misquoting me. Since the Bible is its own expositor [it explains itself] the only passage that helps us understand who the 144,000 virgins in Rev 14:4 are, is the parable of the 10 [complete in number] virgins of Matthew 25. They don’t have to have blood lines to some tribe in Israel because Paul said, “If you are Christ’s, you are Abraham’s seed” Gal 3:29. We don’t have to worry about which tribe we came from.
      Please don’t let what you don’t understand keep you from moving forward to what you could. Virgins imply purity of faith and in the end-times, it’s not about denominations. The SDA church that you cite has had its share of blindness as most Evangelical Christians who think they will be raptured before trouble . “We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom” Acts 14:22.

      • Crazy times

        Doc..The parable of Matt 25 has nothing to do with the 144,000 Physical virgins of Rev 14:4 Since the (Bible explains itself) :arrow: “not defiled by woman”. nothing here about implying purity of faith in the end-times ? you made that up !!! and making them one which they are clearly NOT

        “Paul said, “If you are Christ’s, you are Abraham’s seed” Gal 3:29. We don’t have to worry about which tribe we came from”

        As being one of the 5 wise virgins this is correct SPIRITUAL ISRAEL.Gal 3:29. (Imputed righteousness) as Abraham…as I pointed out…..Sealed by God the Holy Spirit for that day of redemption of His precious possession.

        The 144,000 are sealed with a mark on the forehead and are NOT the BRIDE they are chosen from the 12 tribes of PHYSICAL Israel and are Chaste VIRGINS NOT defiled by a WOMEN….this is NEVER implied of the BRIDE.

        “Evangelical Christians who think they will be raptured before trouble . “We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom” Acts 14:22.”……..VAGUE random quote and tribulation is not the Great Tribulation JACOBS TROUBLE….as it also says “we will have tribulation” this does NOT imply the GREAT TRIBULATION either

        It’s NOT escapism to stand on the “Word of God” Luke 21 v 36

        Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy :arrow: ” to escape all these things” that shall come to pass, :arrow: and to stand before the Son of Man. :idea:

        And I will take you from the Final Hr THAT Hr rev 3:10

        and authority was given to the Beast for 1 hr .Rev 17 v 13

        So Please understand what you don’t understand will keep you from the BRIDE and what you take away will be taken away from you.

        • jonesy

          …Old testament “religion”, could not separate the fleshly identity from the spiritual. this sort of belief is what’s called ‘Zionism’. It is deadly.

    • Dr Richard Ruhling

      Crazy Times:
      I don’t think you realize how much you are able to jump to conclusions by your ability to add a word here and there. For example on the 144,000 that are said to be “virgins.”
      You say, 144,000 PHYSICAL virgins and mention they are not defiled with women.
      But that same book, Revelation is about an impure woman (harlot of Rome in Rev 17 that is the mother of harlots (mother church of others who also hold many of her teachings)
      I don’t think God is so concerned about virgins who have never slept with anyone—the purity of heart is what I think God is concerned about, and the virgins in Matt 25 is how to quality and it’s not about your blood line being Jewish as Gal 3:29 shows.

      A second example of your adding to Scripture is when you slight Acts 14:22 that we “must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom” and you say, Oh, no, that’s not the GREAT TRIBULATION. The belief that you will be raptured is a misunderstanding of the wedding parables which are about our making a covenant with Christ to marry Him as Israel did—after which He said, “I am married to you,” Jer 3:14.
      Please read the article at http://MayJudgmentDay.com (right column) to see how to be protected and ready.

      • Crazy times

        Please realize ….The 144,000 ARE physical Virgins as… IT SAYS SO.. Rev 14:4…. How is that jumping to conclusions ?

        But you have this ability to conclude otherwise, their identity is now implied, “mother of harlots” where did that come from ?…now that’s a jump !! :shock:

        “But that same book, Revelation is about an impure woman (harlot of Rome in Rev 17 that is the mother of harlots (mother church of others who also hold many of her teachings)”

        So who’s the one not following the dots :arrow: “adding words here and there” …?

        I do not believe the SDA view as they do not follow… “as it is written” as already shown.

        “I don’t think God is so concerned about virgins who have never slept with anyone—”

        Then why would HE choose them ? in Rev 14:4 and not old men from Jerusalem or celebrities from Hollywood ?…He was deliberate with His choice :arrow: as it was Important to Him and you don’t think it’s important ? but it’s… “as it is written”… that is important !

        Gal 3:29 I’ve already agreed IF your talking BRIDE but your jumping from BRIDE to 144,000 and now mother harlot, intertwining them together ?…. the 144,000 are NOT the Bride.

        “Second example…. and you say, Oh, no, that’s not the GREAT TRIBULATION”….

        Well it’s plainly NOT, many have passed and NOT entered the GREAT TRIBULATION and have entered into His kingdom…but they surly had much tribulation to deal with during their life as we can see in Scripture, that puts your Act 14:22 in context.

        “The belief you will be raptured is a misunderstanding”…ALREADY covered this as per above luke 21:36 and rev3:10, Where is the wedding feast held ? how does the Bride get there to marry Him ? where did the 5 wise virgins go ? in Matt 25 (without any harm to any of them, heads intact UNHARMED.)

        This belief stands on solid rock the “Word of God”.

        To be protected and be ready (when the LORD comes by Himself) one has to be Born Again from above to go above to be delivered from the Wrath to come.

        Please read your bible again once you’re Born Again as without the indwelling of God the Holy Spirit of Truth, you cannot see the kingdom of God…nor enter it. John 3:3-5

          A thought just struck my powerful mind … after 5 seconds of thought:

          Thousands just means myriads. Many.

          The 144 comes from 12 times 12.

          Or 12 acting on 12.

          Or Self acting on Self

          A Self (12 who are Israel) that acts on it’s Self (the same 12 who are Israel)

          IS A VIRGIN

          A myriad of such persons = 144,000 Virgins :roll:

          (For God’s sake! If you people would just LEARN to just ASK me about these matters before first ….)

    • Dr Richard Ruhling

      Crazy: I have more to do than to argue with you when you don’t understand that the 144,000 are not defiled with the harlots spoken of in Revelation 17–Rome or her daughters, verse 5. It has NOTHING to do with being physical virgins

      • Crazy times

        Doc I’m sure your a busy man but still have time to post SDA or JW propaganda….

        “verse 5. It has NOTHING to do with being physical virgins” you said

        no it hasn’t , as it’s in :arrow: verse 4 which you gave me ! which has everything to do with physical virgins.

        Verse 5 has NOTHING to do with the Churches nor the Bride as the churches are mentioned in the first books of Revelation and HE CLEARLY says THEY are His CHURCHES “His People” and after chapter 4 they’re not mentioned again !!…Your interpretation is a cult belief…. NO WHERE in Scripture can you prove your theory v 5 is connected to being defiled by Rome, it’s supposition on your behalf to say the 144,000 are His Churches or His Bride.

        • Crazy times

          Hey Doc …I did misquote you on the following sentence after re-reading my late post ZZzz

      Thanks for your great attitude. As a thank you, I was going to send you a link to a new health documentary, but then decided to put it in an article and post /environment/2016/04/belated-earth-day-epa-a-great-new-documentary-on-health-free-viewing-today-2552914.html

    • Dr Richard Ruhling

      Dear Jonesy,

      You say, separate the old from the new [testaments]
      When Christ said to search the Scriptures, the ony ones were the Old Testament that testified of Him.
      Zechariah 4 shows two olive trees as the source of oil for the lamps. Those who fail to get into the marriage in Matthew 25 are short of oil if they don’t have both. It’s the Old Testament that shows God married Israel with a covenant (Jer 3:14 after Exod 19:5,6) and we can do the same after God afflicts this country as He did Egypt.

      • jonesy

        …doc…you misread my post…I said, people like you and a few others around here, don’t have the ability to understand the separation between the spiritual and fleshly, realities….always imagining spirituality, where only intellect and emotion, are present…and seeing spirituality only through fleshly paradigms…This is religious dogma…not spirituality…this was the situation, in old testament times.
        … The coming of the Christ, caused the separation. The physical, fleshly paradigm, was not relevant to the pure spirituality of Jesus. Old testament sensibilities could not accept spirituality that was not tied to
        ‘earthly’ ritual and practices….still can’t…that’s ‘Zionism’. Traditions and ritual. Christ freed all believers from the ‘old ways’.

    • Dr Richard Ruhling

      Jonesy,

      Sorry, but it’s not Zionist or focus on ceremonies to realize that God established mo’ed—appointed times on the first page of your Bible in Genesis 1:14 before there were ever any Jews or ceremonies and He is honoring those in Leviticus 23:44 where they are called His feasts also “forever” as stated in the chapter. We can get rid of the ceremonies, but keep those times as they were designed to teach truths in the plan of salvation, like Passover is not only a time of sacrifice that we no longer do because Christ died as the Lamb (Isaiah 53:7: John 1:29) on Passover, but it is ALSO a time of judgment when God said, “I will execute judgment” and this nation has it coming for murdering far more infants (60 million in the womb) than Egypt ever thought of.

      If they were to be done away with, why do FIVE of Christ’s last parables have clues, phrases, as links to Numbers 9:10,11 which is a provision for 2nd Passover—nothing about bitter herbs now, but ‘watch and pray’ that God will pass over you in judgment or you could be like the goodman in Matt 24:43 who didn’t know when to watch and have your house broken by an impending earthquake, as explained at http://MayJudgmentDay.com

      If I may interject:

      Maximus and Crazy…

      I think you fellas know as well as I do that the Doc has been here as long as we have, and has proven his belief and his sincerity. What good comes from this sniping? Are we able to permit our brothers to seek and to learn according to their own relationship with The Boss? Or are we anointed advocates for views which are at all times and in all ways unimpeachable. Are we at present perfectly remade in the image of the Image? Is our understanding without flaw? Take care how you respond.

      Nothing in this statement is amiss. If there is, then please demonstrate what it is.

      The way I see it, there’s no one on this board but believers.

      So start acting like it.
