When Esau came back with the meat that his father had requested, he was chagrined to learn that he had missed out on the blessing for which he had hoped (Gen 27:30-38).
A lesson is drawn from Esau's example in Hebrews 12:16-17. Esau had undervalued his family's special calling and figured out too late what he was missing.
There are other scriptures that tell us there are some important deadlines that are not to be missed. For example, in the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25, the bridesmaids fall asleep when the bridegroom's coming is delayed, and some are too late to meet the bridegroom.
