Remember how Joseph knew that baskets represented time? It involved the chief baker.
Mark 8
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
17 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets [kophinos, the small wicker basket] full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets [spuris, the large reed basket] full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
Daniel 12
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
I see men as trees, walking.
Egypt is famous for its dead (mummies), and the Book of the Dead. Etz livnei, the tree of white, of Laban:
The small (minute) baskets were 12
The large baskets were 7.
John 4
46 So Jesus came again into Cana ("reed") of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
52 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 This is again the second [" the second, the other of two"] miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
Daniel 12:5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
River: the flow of time. These folks are right out of A Christmas Carol.
“‘For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him’” (Matthew 13:12).
Just prior to this statement, Jesus told the disciples the twofold reason for His using parables: “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted” (Matt. 13:11). To believers, parables reveal kingdom truth; to unbelievers, they conceal it.
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday...

You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die...

The Day the Music Died at 60: Remembering rock and roll's biggest tragedy
Clocks are everywhere. Like the Apollo 50 GO Apollo 11 "59 Productions" on the WAMO last July.
Columbia ("dove", Jonah).. even with its own countdown clock.
The religious world knows fer sure that it's the holy conduit for God's Holy Word, which is why God has been routing the truth through the broader culture, even Hollywood, the place everyone knows is corrupt and fake, so there's nothing concealed about that.
Ask any man on the street (even if he's never opened a Bible) where the Ark of the Covenant is located, and he'll be able to tell you straight away, what the scholars don't know. Mysteries of the universe.
"It's in a US Government warehouse. Everybody knows that."
Shhhhh!
To believers, parables reveal kingdom truth; to unbelievers, they conceal it.
