Conclusion:
The Bible appears to be showing us that <Watching> is a watch NOT to enter into temptation or tribulation. The picture is that of a house (corporate body) where two people (wheat and tare) are sleeping when the thief (Satan) comes at midnight (great tribulation and judgment) to rob, kill and destroy. The wheat were commanded to watch, but they fell asleep along with the tares. However because their sins are covered in Christ, nothing can separate them from the love of God. God was the only one watching on their behalf and was able to wake them up (Elect) so they could leave the house. The tares, however woke up only to face God's wrath in judgment.
