I believe simply the song is an abstract version of his thoughts on what was happening to his band.The success and what it was doing to him and the band(drugs,bad relationships etc.).
Its not about Jesus.
Billy Corgan once wrote He had a million dollars in his bank account from Virgin Records from the first album GISH. And now Virgin was expecting something good from the band. But Billy Corgan IS the band, that amount of pressure almost lead to his suicide. But something happened out of it one day and so TODAY was born from that.
fast foward to this song and Now we have Billy revisiting "Haunts" but He is a smart guy and found a way to translate it into THIRTY-Three. The irony of it is when the Tarot card reader said'' you''ll reach a higher sucess at Thirty-three..." well he was only twenty-seven when the band reached HIGH success.
Now what ? he might say-"Mysteries not ready to reaveal.."
I think the "YOU can make it last " is him telling himself this. An affirmation.
