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

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

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ CU Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. James 1:9-15

9 - Let the lowly person boast in their high position. 10 And the rich (boast) in their low state, for like a flower of the grass they (we all) pass away. 11 The sun rises with its scorching heat, and the grass withers {burns away! in a slow gehenna fire - entropy}. The flower fades, and its beauty perishes. So also do riches fade away even as they’re pursued..

     12 Blessed is the one who remains steadfast under trial, for when they’ve stood the test they’ll receive the crown of Life, which God promises to those who love him. 13 Let no one say when tempted, “I’m being tempted by God!” For God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself doesn’t tempt. 14 But each person is tempted when lured and enticed by their own desires. 15 For desire gives birth to sin. And sin when fully grown brings forth death. {Like grass we fade away.. dust to dust. God’s wrath? Unavoidable unless creation’s to be an ant farm? So get this one and done over with? Life and history as we presently know it, being the crucible. Experience being the only good teacher? And the dis-ease as part of the cure? And immunity..}

            🌙 P.M. Mark 10:10-16

10 - Later while in the house the disciples asked Jesus again about it. 11 And he said, “Whoever sends away his wife and weds another, commits adultery against her. 12 And if she goes away from her husband and marries another, she commits adultery [moichaó - breaks the marriage covenant].

     13 Some were bringing children to him so he might bless them. But the disciples were stopping them. 14 And when Jesus saw it, he was annoyed, “Let the children come to me,” he said. “Don’t keep them away, for to such as they, belongs the kingdom of God! 15 I tell you, truly, whoever doesn’t receive the kingdom of God like a little child, cannot enter in.” 16 And he took the children in his arms, and laying his hands on them, he blessed each one.

ACTS 9 1-20

Luke wrote “of the things fulfilled among us” paraphrased  [ ] ref  { } thots

Book of the Acts of the First Believers

1 - (Pharisee) Saul was still breathing out threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord. He went to the high priest 2 and asked for letters to the synagogues of Damascus, saying if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he could arrest them and bring them to Jerusalem.

     3 Later, on his way to Damascus, a bright light suddenly shone all about him. 4 It was so bright he fell to the ground. And he heard a voice saying, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”

     5 And Saul said, “Who are you?” And the voice said, “I’m Jesus, the one you’re persecuting! 6 Get up now and go into the city, and you’ll be told what to do.”

     7 The others who were traveling with him were speechless, for they had heard the voice but didn’t see anyone. 8 Saul got up, and although his eyes were open, he couldn’t see a thing. So they led him into Damascus. 9 He wasn’t able to see for three days, during which time he didn’t eat or drink.

     10 Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.”

     Ananias said, “Here I am, Lord.” 11 And the Lord said, “Go to the street they call Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul. He’s praying 12 and has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay hands on him so he might see.”

     13 But Ananias said, “Lord, I’ve heard about this man! How much evil he’s done to the believers at Jerusalem. 14 And now I hear he has authority from the leading priests {authorities of the nation} in Jerusalem to arrest all who call on your name.”

     15 But the Lord said to him, “Don’t worry, he’s a chosen vessel of mine to bring my name to the nations, before kings, and also to the children of Israel. 16 I’ll show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name [onoma - name, authority, cause].”

     17 So Ananias went and entered the house. Then laying his hands on him said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road has sent me to you so you may regain your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” {The Presence of God.}

     18 And immediately the darkness fell from his eyes, and he could see. Then Saul rose up and was baptized, 19 and taking food, he was strengthened.

      For some days he stayed with the disciples at Damascus. 20 And right away he went to the synagogues and proclaimed Jesus, saying, “He’s the Son of God!”

09-01 - James 1 1-8 Mark 1 1-9

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

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ CU Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. James 1:1-8

(Likely the first letter we have.) 1 - From James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ (Likely this James is Jesus’ natural brother who became a serious disciple and a leading apostle in Jerusalem after Jesus’ 1-death, 2-burial and 3-resurrection [1-Passover, 2-Unleavened Bread, 3-Firstfruits - the ancient Spring holy days fulfilled. Pentecost - ‘church’ age. Then Fall holy days to be fulfilled, Lev.23 with Rev.20-told like describing only the crests of waves. But in it, is the - entire - 2nd Advent.]

     To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings!

2 Count it all joy, my brothers and sisters when trials of various kinds come upon you! 3 For you know the testing of your faith produces steadfastness and stability. {Tested like steel in the forge of life. Life as we presently know it, the crucible, laver, sieve, which continues until one of two - written about - vivifications, but the second is not usually understood? The first, at the Lord’s return, the second at the “behold I make all new” - greek word “pas” - all, but translated, all things, Rev.21:1-5.}

     4 So let stability and steadfastness have its way, and full effect! {Let our roots go further down into the faith and the way.} So that you may be made perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. {Even Jesus was tempered. OnLy straight out from God one, so close to the Father, both administer God’s Spirit/Presence ..Forever First/Proto.. Even He was tempered.} {Pick up our cross.. be a whoLe sacrifice unto him. Aka submission. “He is the potter, we the clay.” With the money Judas threw back “they bought the potter’s field”. A field where broken clay pieces were tossed. I like the metaphor of that! And it reminds me how death is a sleep. There’s a lot of broken clay in God’s yet to be tended garden. We are invited to serve, called reigning during long 2nd advent? Mt.13:30, in context, is Mt.25:1-13 (and Rev.16:14-15-16). This is important to know?}

     5 If any of us lacks wisdom, let us ask God. For he gives generously to all - and without reproach - and it’ll be given to them. 6 But let us ask in faith, without doubting, for to doubt is to be like a wave of the sea, tossed about by various winds. 7 And then, that one can’t suppose they’ll receive! {Faith is like a ground wire?} 8 They’re being double-minded and unstable in their ways. {Remember the father of an afflicted son? Who cried “help Lord my unbelief!”}

            🌙 P.M. MARK 10:1-9

 1 - Jesus left Capernaum and went to the region of Judea and then out beyond the Jordan, where crowds were again gathering to him. And as was his custom, he taught them.

      2 Pharisees showed up, and tried to test him. They asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” 3 He answered, “What did Moses say?”

     4 They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and send his wife away.” (Rather than sending her away without divorce!)

     5 And Jesus said, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment/instruction/law. 6 But at the beginning and forming of creation, ‘God made them male and female. 7 And therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 8 and the two are one.’ So they’re no longer two but one. 9 What therefore God has joined together, man shouldn’t separate.” {Exception is of course, abuse! And also adultery, Mt.19:9, we’re all born sinners/missing the mark/imperfect. All in the same boat. Jesus didn’t scold the woman of Samaria he met at the well, who had had five husbands. Only once born anew can we hope to genuinely do better in this life, which is God’s goodness, not ours. Imperfect is an abyss of potential, and ultimately, how low can we go? Given enough time aNd circumstance.. I believe way low. That’s part of the contrast and its unavoidable, all important lesson? Thankfully GOD’s individual blueprint, of each one of us, is in us as well.}

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

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ CU Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. 3 John 1:9-14

9 - I (John) have written something to the church/group, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself as foremost, doesn’t welcome us. 10 So if I come, I’ll bring it up, along with the terrible nonsense he’s been saying against us. And not only that, but he also refuses to welcome the brothers, and he prevents those who want to welcome them from doing so!

     11 Beloved! Don’t imitate evil! {As Diotrephes, sowing division, competing, accusing, slandering, etc, all worldly political and a siren call to ever worsening things.} Instead imitate the good. Whoever does good is of God. Whoever does evil has not {yet} seen God.

     12 Now Demetrius, he has received a good testimony from everyone. And from truth itself! {“Truth bears witness of itself”. Logic stands. Root word of logic is logos.} We also add our witness, and you know that our witness {testimony, testament} is true.

     13 I had much to write to you, but I would rather not write with reed and ink. 14 I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face.

     {This ends the year for the N.T. letters, tomorrow starts over, the letters in the order believed written.}

            🌙 P.M. MARK 9:33-50

33 - Then Jesus and the twelve went home to Capernaum. When they were in the house he asked the disciples, “What were you discussing on the way?” 34 They didn’t say anything, because they’d been arguing with one another about who was greater. 35 So he sat down and called them round, and he said, “If you would be first, you must be last of all. And a servant of all.”

     36 And then he called a small child over to them, and taking him in his arms, he said, 37 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me. And whoever receives me, receives not me, but he who sent me.”

     38 John (who wrote a gospel account/testimony/testament and 1,2 and 3 John) said, “Rabbi, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he’s not with us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Don’t stop him. For anyone who does a mighty work in my name will not soon be able to speak evil of me. 40 For the one who’s not against us is for us.

     41 I tell you, whoever gives you a cup of water because you follow me, will by no means lose their reward!

     42 “But whoever guides one of these little ones into error, it would be better for them if a great millstone were hung around their neck and they be thrown into the sea. 43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off! It’s better for you to enter [eiserchomai - enter, go into, come into, go through] life crippled than with two hands away into gehenna fire {‘fiery’ trials and troubles} not quenched.” {Entropy (imperfection) which doesn’t quit so naturally ends in death, but can include much dissolution, thus suffering/‘hell’ on the way.} 45 “And if your foot leads you to crime, cut it off! It’s better for you to enter [eiserchomai - from eis - to or into, point reached, and erchomai -  to come, go] {go through} life lame than with two feet to be thrown into gehenna” (valley dump where criminal’s bodies were thrown - a great insult - so the fires were kept burning. 47 “And if your eye causes you to do wrong, tear it out! It’s better for you to enter [eiserchomai - enter, go into, come into] the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown [balló - throw, cast, put, place] into gehenna, 48 ‘where the worm {of decomposition} does not die and the fire is not quenched’ [sbennumi - extinguished, quenched, suppressed, thwarted, put out]. 49 For - everyone - will be salted with fire.” {God’s wrath is cause and effect/consequences/results. Plus greaT sin will ultimately result in deep heart and gut wrenching remorse. Imagine having been a heartless despot, serial killer, child sex trafficker.. What sort of correction [kolasin] works best? Inner. Inner judgment, inner condemnation.. beating self up “with many stripes?” until realizing Christ Crucified, strong enough to appease every psyche and conscience.}

     50 “Salt is good. {Preserves.} But if salt loses its saltiness, how will it be made salty again? Have salt within yourselves! And - be at peace - with one another.”

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

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. 3 John 1:1-8

1 - From the elder, to my dear friend Gaius, whom I love in the truth. 2 Beloved, I pray you prosper in all things and be in health, even as your soul [psychē - soul, mind, life, self, inner being] prospers. 3 It makes me very happy when the Lord's followers come by and mention how you are living in the truth. 4 Nothing brings me greater happiness than to hear that my children (in the faith) are obeying the truth.

     5 Dear friend, you have always been faithful in helping other followers of the Lord, even ones you’ve not met before and don’t know. 6 They have told the church of your love. [Church - ekklésia - from ek - out from and to, and kaléō - to call – called out - from the world - and to God - (called out) assembly.] Saying you welcomed them gladly and sent them on their mission with all that they needed. 7 When they left here to tell others about the Lord, they decided not to accept help from anyone but followers of the Lord. 8 And so it’s good we support such as they, so we can share in their labors!

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 9:46-50

46 - The disciples were arguing about which one of them was the greatest. 47 Jesus knew it, so he had a child come and stand beside him. 48  And he said to them, “When you welcome even a child {showing humbleness of spirit?} because of me, you welcome me. And when you welcome me, you welcome the one who sent me. Whichever one of you is the most humble, that’s the one who is greatest.”

     49 John said, “Master, we saw a man using your name to force demons out of people. But we told him to stop, because he isn't one of us.” 50 “Don't stop him,” Jesus said. “Whoever isn't against you, is for you.”

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. 2 John 1:4-13

4 - I (John) was very happy and rejoiced to see some of your children (group) walking in the Truth! And according to how we’ve been commanded (instructed) by the Father. (As an old man, John called everyone children.) 5 And now I ask you, dear lady (believing group) - not as though I were writing you a new commandment [entolé - commandment, order, instruction] - but the one we’ve had from the beginning - that we love one another. 6 And this is love, that we walk according to his instructions. And this is the command/instruction, just as you’ve heard from the beginning, that which we should walk in. 7 For - many deceivers - are in the world, those who deny the coming of Christ (Messiah) Jesus in the flesh (literally). {1st aNd 2nd??} Such teaching is deception and antichrist. 8 Watch yourselves, so you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win the full prize!

     9 Everyone who runs on ahead and doesn’t stay [menón - remain, abide, stay, continue, dwell] in - the teaching of Christ - does not have God. Whoever abides in - Christ’s - teaching has both the Father and the Son.

     10 If any believer comes to you and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t receive them nor embrace their message, 11 for whoever does, takes part in their harmful [ponéros - evil, wicked, bad, malicious, hurtful] works.

     12 Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use papyrus and ink. Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be full.

      13 The children of your elect sister (group) greet you. (End of this letter.)

            🌙 P.M. MARK 9:25-32

25 - Jesus, seeing that a large crowd was beginning to gather, rebuked the unclean spirit. {Entity, angel gone rogue.. a strange offshoot of being able to think and reason, for straying is not logical because God is life.. the life force.. As what else would be? See how all of heaven and all of earth are taking this, often heartbreaking, but unavoidable(?) journey all together at once. One and done? ..Pre-flood was hand off? Not just depraved but extremely eviL? God is justified. Death is a sleep. And logically(?) they will thank him for the sleep.}

     He said to the spirit “Spirit of muteness [alalos - speechless] and deafness [kóphos] I command you! Come out of him and don’t enter him again.”

     26 Then after crying out and convulsing him, the spirit came out. And the boy lay there like he was dead, so many then said, “He’s dead!” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand, raised him up, and he stood.

     28 Later when Jesus had gone into the house, his disciples asked him, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?” 29 He answered, “This kind you can’t drive out but by prayer.”

     30 A little later they went on from there, passing through Galilee. And he didn’t want anyone to know, 31 for he was telling his disciples, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. But after three days he will rise.” 32 But they didn’t understand what he meant, and they were afraid to ask.
