Sumarry:
It is highly probable that this strange independent story of the Gospels on the finding of the near adult adolescent Jesus on the third day in the Temple is an analogical revelation of part of the mystery of the Jewish People finally discovering the Messiah in the NEW Temple, the Church, finding all the while that He was "busy with the Gentiles."
Mother Mary and Joseph were searching for Jesus, the Messiah. The first day they were out in the caravan, just like at the first darkness of Church history, Rome, the jews were out in the diaspora. Mary and Joseph didn't find Jesus, so they returned to Jerusalem on the second day.
It has been the second darkness for Church history for about a century, with atheism in the east, and relativistic materialism in the west, and the Jews have returned within it. They are still looking for the Messiah. They are getting closer. But why?
Because I think they are going to learn an apocalyptic lesson, their first great lesson, one last step before they find Him completely at the end of the world: That you don't need to be in Jacob's mountain like the Samaritan woman at the well, or Jerusalem, or the wailing wall, or anywhere specifically to worship God. You need your soul, and if you want see God visibly, go to any of the countless thousands of tabernacles of the Catholic and Orthodox churches: there dwells God visibly and physically!!!
After this Middle East horror is through, some of Israel may have some nuke waste, who knows. Or they might create some nuke waste in some Muslim countries, who knows. But if they nuke some arab nations, what do you think the world will think of them? Will they not say, you MOFOS! Do you think that getting a literal piece of real estate is going to solve your problems? Get you closer to the Messiah? Will the zionists not at least wake up to this much: that you don't need a literal land to know and find the Messiah.
Brothers, the physical holy land was but a PICTURE of the SPIRITUAL HOLY LAND, the CHURCH!!! and then ultimately HEAVEN!!!
And in the third day, Joseph and Mother Mary finally found Jesus, the Messiah, because even at TWELVE HE WAS THE MESSIAH!
In the third darkness that awaits after our Lady of Fatima reigns for a great age, the great apostasy, the Jews will finally find Jesus, the MESSIAH, not in the LITERAL OLD temple but the NEW TEMPLE, the CATHOLIC CHURCH! and they shall say to Jesus, how could you DO THIS TO US!!! FOR THREE great ages, from pagan Rome and the ousting from the temple in 70 ad until now, we have SEARCHED for the MESSIAH, and only after THREE GREAT AGES, or DAYS of time, centuries!!!, do we find YOU??
And the Messiah will tell them: did you not know that while you were painfully searching all that time in ignorance and stubbornness, I would need to be IN MY FATHERS HOUSE AND ABOUT HIS BUSINESS, which is to say, IN THE CATHOILIC CHURCH, CONVERTING AND WORKING ON THE GENTILES!!
For Deeper Reflections and theory, you can see:

I am a Catholic revert. I desire to share deeper theology about the Catholic Church that is admittedly speculative but that makes perfect sense from Catholic doctrine and church teaching.
The Catholic Church shows us that we are all priceless regardless of what anything the world may say about us. We can hold our heads high and know that God loves us no matter what and desires us to be with him forever if we but persevere in love with him unto the end.
To know these things gives me great joy and I am just a poor sinner striving to become holier little by little.
May God bless all writers and readers on this site in all ways, amen!
