Puzzleman, There are those who understand such things and those who don't. It has to do with who you are, not what you know.
As the Master said, "When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' 3and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign..."
So some will interpret and most will not. This is as it should be.
"This is why I speak to them in parables: 'Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.'"
