ENTER THE STORY - A NEW TESTAMENT READING SCHEDULE

   ⛲️☀️ Father is the fountain of Life.

   No option to stray in Eden = Ant Farm

BiG banG — > universe — > then set in motion

for “8 days”/millennia. Lev.23 is the advents.

    “In the beginning God..” and the only straight out from God one, the Son, “forever first”/proto. Father & Son being so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence.

   The being worked out blueprint - Father’s Presence will saturate, thus “seal” all creation, all mankind - Jesus is the prototype - all angelkind, animalkind, singing bird kind, &tc. “The cow will graze with the bear, their young will pasture and lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox” Isaiah 11:7. [Summed up in 1Timothy 4:10 and Luke 1:37.] Mt.13:30 is Rev.16:14-15-16 & Mt.25:1-13; Rev.20 tells crests only; seal description veils the seals & vision; vision is told 3 times; 13:13 is the seal6 1st event showing an office; 1Cor.15:22-28 w/ Mt.13:33, key word 3! (1Pet.3:19 -> 2Pet.2:5); it’s Dan.12:11-12 w/ Lk.19:41,44 and 1Cor.3:16! W/ last “10 days” escalation, Rev.2:10, then Is.24:20/Rev.10:4.

All, in translation, was changed to all things.

Jesus said he “will draw all” Jn.12:32.

A work finished during his long

second advent.

08-23 - 1John 4 17-18. Luke 9 18-27

 Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots} (An 8TH ‘DAY’ Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. 1John 4:17-18

17 - As we live and abide in God, our love grows more perfect, and so shall we have confidence in {during} day of judgment. [In/during - “en” - in, on, at, by, with, among – properly, in, inside, within, in the realm (sphere) of; Have “confidence” - parrésia - confidence, freedom of speech, openness, from pas - all, and rhēsis - resolve, words, with all confidence.]

     (Confidence during that ‘day’) because we are now living as Christ did in this world. As he was, so are we. 18 There is no fear in love! And perfect love, casts out all fear. The one fearing punishment [kolasin, usually translated punishment, the more extreme interpretation, but kolasin means correction - so the phrase “aionion kolasin” of Mt.25:46?] (the one fearing kolasin) has not yet been perfected in love.)


            🌙 P.M. LUKE 9:18-27

18 - Jesus went to be alone to pray and his disciples were going along, and he asked them, “What do the people say about me?” 19  They answered, “Some say you’re John the Baptist or Elijah or another prophet from long ago who’s been raised.”

     20  Jesus then asked, “And who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You’re the Messiah sent from God!” 21 And he told them not to tell anyone,  22 “for the leaders will make the Son of Man suffer terrible things. For they reject him, and they will kill him. But three days later he’ll rise.”

     23  Jesus then turned and said to everyone who was following along, “If you want to be my follower, you must deny your self.” {Often/whenever possible, put our self on the back burner? The word (arneomai) also means to repudiate {our old self-first self}. We “follow after” Jesus. HE prayed “Not my will (Father) but your will.” God after all has our BEST blueprint!}

     “You must take up your cross every day, and follow after me. 24 If you want to save your life, you will lose it.” {Clinging to self interest repels blessing.} “But if you give up your life to me, you will save it. 25 What will you gain, if you should own all the world but ruin yourself or waste away your life?” {And what would anybody gain if they owned (and ran) all the world! Nothing. God is Life.}

     26 “If you are ashamed of me and of my message, I will be {unavoidably?} ashamed of you when I come in my glory and in the glory of my Father and the holy angels. 27 We can be sure some of the people standing here, will not die before they understand God's kingdom.”

08-22 - 1John 4 12-16 Mark 8 27-33

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ Studies Journal)


            ☀️ A.M. 1John 4:12-16

12 - No person has seen God. If we love one another, God is in us and abides in us, and his love is made perfect in [en - in, on, at, by, with, among] us. [“Made perfect” - teleióō – to consummate, reach the end-stage, i.e. working through the entire process to reach the final phase and conclusion; from tel/telos - to reach the end-aim, translated as ‘end’.] 13 And it’s by this that we know we abide in him, and he in us, because he has given us of His Spirit/Presence {which “is Love” opposite of passing judgment, division.. It always wears a cloak you know?}. 14 And we have seen - and testify - that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses [homologeó - speaks the same, agrees] (knows) Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in them, and they in God. 16 And so we have come to know, and believe in, the love God has for us. God iS love. And whoever abides in love {has genuine affection for our fellow persons} abides in God. And God abides in them.


            🌙 P.M. MARK 8:27-33

27 - Jesus traveled on with his disciples, walking to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And while they were walking he asked his disciples, “Who do people that say I am?” 28 And they answered, “Some say John the Baptist. Others say, Elijah. Or one of the prophets.”

     29 And he asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered saying, “You are the Christ!” 30 And he told them by no means to tell any one about him. {His execution would come all the sooner..?} [Matthew says Jesus said to Peter “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock {Spirit led belief} I will build my church. And the gates of Hades {death, Eccles.9:10, Ps.16:10, Acts 2:27} will not prevail against it” Mt.16:17,18.] {Gates of entropy.. which “doesn’t quit”.}

     31 He began to teach them how the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the leaders, the chief priests and scribes, and he would be killed, and after three days he would rise. 32 And he said it plainly. So Peter took him aside and said, “Don’t say that!” 33 But turning and seeing his disciples listening, he said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! [Satanas - adversary, accuser.] For your thinking isn‘t upon the things of God, but according to the things of man.”

08-21 - 1John 4 7-11 Mark 8 22-26

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ Studies Journal)


            ☀️ A.M. 1John 4:7-11

7 - My dear friends, we should love one another, for love is from God, and the one who loves has been born of God and knows Him.

     8 To not love is to not know God, for God is Love. 9 He has revealed his love for us by sending his one and only Son into the world that we might live in and through him. [Dia - thoroughly, from one side all the way to the other.]

     10 Real love isn't our love for God, it’s his love for us! God sent his Son to be the sacrifice by which our sins are forgiven. [Sacrifice - hilasmós – properly, propitiation; an offering to appease (satisfy) an angry, offended party (biblehub dot com) — yes we’ve offended God but “HE has subjected all to disobedience” Ro.11:32, and thus to this imperfection/entropy, a slow gehenna crucible that “doesn’t quit” so “God is savior..” 1Tim.4:10. {As opposed to an ant farm?} Biblehub - Hilasmós is only used twice (in 1Jn.2:2 and 4:10) – both times of Christ's atoning sacrifice that appeases God's wrath] {imo cause & effect, greek orge - passion, as opposed to Ant Farm? Cause & effect including imperfect, being the opposite of Life. Because God iS life and “is perfect” Mt.5:48, an iron measure.} [Biblehub - By the sacrifice of Himself, Jesus Christ provided the ultimate hilasmós - expiation.] {And I think what really needed to be appeased is the human conscience and oh so delicate and unforgiving psyche.. The otheR offended party.. THE provided propitiation/sacrifice/ransom being strong enough to appease eveRy guilty conscience. And is a contract/testament sealed in blood. And strong enough to reach all ..and don’t forget what a very sad commentary history happens to be.}

     11 Dear friends, since God loved us this much - we, surely, must love each other. {The sacrifice was the closest thing to getting ‘up off the throne’ himself? As wouldn’t then all creation fall apart? ..Logically, he had it all worked out before doing any act of creation. Even Jesus (First/Proto so close to the Father, both administer God’s Spirit/Presence) was tested/improved/perfected by his obedience when he came via the flesh and struggled and prayed - “not my will, but Your’s”. And so is “forever preeminent” via God’s design. And why should we worry, he has it ALL designed.}


            🌙 P.M. MARK 8:22-26

22 - Jesus and his disciples were entering the town of Bethsaida, when some people from the village  brought a blind man to him, and they asked him to touch him. 23 So Jesus took him by the hand and led him out of the village, where he put spit on the man's eyes and then asked him if he could see anything. {Whatever it takes to inspire faith?} 24 The man looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees walking around.”

     25 So again, Jesus placed his hands on the man's eyes. And this time, as he looked intently, his eyes became whole, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Jesus told him, “Go home, but not by way of the village.”

08-20 - 1John 4 4-6 Mark 8 11-21

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ Studies Journal)


            ☀️ A.M. 1John 4:4-6

Disciple John wrote, 4 - Little children, you are from God and have overcome them {the anti-Christs/Christ deniers/the world, overcome in the heart} for he (God) who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world {“the ‘god’ of this world” system and empires including today’s lascivious, increasingly lawless, $ity which rode the beasts which are becoming one, to the 7hills/continents}.

     5 They (listening to the world) are {still} of the world, and so they {think and } speak from the world {view and sentiment, including the sheep’s clothing worn for political self interest} and - the world - listens to them. {And is enchanted.}

     6 We are {being} of God. Whoever knows God hears us. Whoever is not {being} of God doesn’t hear us. And by this we can know the Spirit of truth, from the spirit of error. {And truth from half truth. Are we listening to the world/Satan/“accuser”/divider? And accelerator.. accelerating toward..? Which call, are we listening to? To armageddon, aka, war, or to Jesus’ second advent, surely(?) a full scope version of his first so brief one, to serve called reigning -> Rev.20 and Lev.23 as an outline of the advents. One of Father’s good riddles!}


            🌙 P.M. MARK 8:11-21

11 - The Pharisees came around and began to argue with Jesus. They asked him for a sign from heaven, as a test.

     12 Jesus sighed deeply in his spirit, and said to them, “Why do you seek a sign? Truly, I tell you, no sign will be given to you.” {Except all the healings and miracles, lol. The crowds that gathered and followed and were healed.} 13 And so he went back to the boat and returned to the other side of the lake.

     14 Now the disciples had forgotten to bring any bread, and had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 And as they were rowing away Jesus said, “Watch out and beware, the leaven of the Pharisees {not genuine} and of the leaven of Herod {politics? Herod was hebrew and for Rome, the occupation of Israel of that day, current state, Ps.80:11-13}.” 16 And so the disciples began to discuss with one another the fact they had no bread.

     17 But Jesus, aware of it, said, “Why are you discussing among yourselves the fact we have no bread? Don’t you understand? Are your hearts still so hard [póroó - hardened, callous, insensitive]? 18 Do your eyes see and your ears hear? Do you remember 19 when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand? How many baskets did you collect after we all ate?” They said, “Twelve.”

     20 “And the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets were left?” And they said, “Seven.”

     21 And he said, “Do you not yet see?”

08-19 - 1John 4 1-3 Mark 8 1-10

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ Studies Journal)


            ☀️ A.M. 1John 4:1-3

1 - Beloved, don’t believe every spirit {every wind of doctrine} but test the spirits to see if they’re from God, for many false prophets [pseudo-prophétés - one who in God's name teaches what is not true] have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God - every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ comes [erchomai - to come or go] in the flesh is from God. 3 And every spirit {teaching, word, reasoning} that doesn’t confess Jesus {as coming “in the flesh”} isn’t from God. This is the spirit of antichrist which you heard was coming [erchomai - to come or go] and already is in the world. {I don’t know the greek tenses.. But, if the difference then - his coming understood as literal or not literal, was a dividing line, why not the same with his second coming - parousia - presence, coming, arrival, advent? Not that all, today, who listen to the ‘his coming/return is physically unseen’ are antiChrist and are unbelievers! But the teaching may turn out to be? Anti, against ..His cause?} [Cause - onoma - name, cause, reputation.]


            🌙 P.M. MARK 8:1-10

1 - And then again, on another day, when a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples over and said, 2 “I have compassion on the crowd, because they’ve been with me now three days and have nothing to eat! 3 If we send them away to their homes, hungry, they may faint on the way. And some have come pretty far.”

     4 His disciples said, “How can we feed these people bread here in this lonely place?”

     5 But he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.” 6 So he told the people to sit down, and giving thanks, he broke the loaves and gave them to his disciples to pass out to the people. 7 They also had a few small fish, so he blessed them, and handed them out as well.

     8 Everyone ate and was satisfied, and afterwards they gathered up the broken pieces left over and there were seven full baskets. 9 There was about four thousand people. After that he sent them on their way, 10 and got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.

     {When will we learn? God is providing “more than we think or imagine”.. Both collectively and individually.}

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ Studies Journal)


            ☀️ A.M. 1John 3:23-24

23 - And this is his commandment - that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he (Jesus) has commanded/instructed us. 24 Whoever keeps these abides in God, and God in us. And by this we know that he abides in us. By the Spirit he has given us. {God’s own Spirit/Presence, the enduring Life. Because God iS life. And “is perfect” but no option to stray in Eden would be an ant farm? So “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10, from this imperfection/entropy which “doesn’t quit”.}

     {Father and Son are so close, both administer the Father’s Spirit/Presence, same as will saturate and “seal” all creation and humanity.}


            🌙 P.M. MARK 7:31-37

31 - Then Jesus returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon and back to the Sea of Galilee, and then past there to the region of the Decapolis.  [Called “the ten cities”.] 32 And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, for they wanted him to lay his hands on him and heal him. 33 And taking the man aside privately, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue. (Whatever it takes? for the person to believe?) 34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” 35 And the man’s ears were opened, and his tongue was released. And he could speak plainly. 36 Jesus told them not to tell anyone. But they were excited and told everyone what Jesus had done. 37 For they were astonished beyond measure! And were saying, “He has done all things well! He even makes the deaf to hear! And the mute to speak!” [Isaiah 61:1,35:5; Mt.11:4-5.]
