🌙 16 - Jesus said to Peter a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” Jesus said, “Guide my sheep.” 17 He said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said, “Lord! You know everything! You know I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. 18 Truly, I tell you, when you were young, you always dressed yourself and you went wherever you wanted, but when you’re old, you’ll stretch out your hands, and another will bind you and take you where you don’t want to go.” 19 This he said to show by what kind of death he would die, but which would make God known. And after saying that, he said, “Follow me.” {Anyway. What else could/would he do?}

     20 Peter turned and saw Jesus’ favorite disciple following them (John referring to himself) the one who also had leaned back against him during the supper and said, “Lord, who is it that’s going to betray you?” 21 When Peter noticed him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?” 22 Jesus said to him, “If it’s my will he remain until I return {fully, and implying a span of time} what is that to you? You, follow me.” 23 So the saying spread abroad among the believers that this disciple was not going to die, yet Jesus didn’t say that he wasn’t going to die, but said, “If it’s my will he remain until I come, what is that to you?”

     24 This is the disciple who is testifying and bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know his testimony is true. {John saying he knows his testimony is true, and knows whereof he speaks.} 25 There also are many other things that Jesus did, but if every one of them were to be written, I suppose the world itself couldn’t contain the books that would be written.

     (The end of the book of John. But he also wrote 1, 2, and 3 John, and the account of the Revelation vision.)

BOOK OF REVELATION

9 - If anyone has an ear, let them hear. 10 If anyone into (or taking?) captivity, to captivity they go. if anyone with the sword slays (this is usually translated as, iS slain [apokteinó or apoktennó - to kill, slay] with the sword, must they {theirself} be slain. Here is a call for - the endurance and faith - of the saints/believers. {See Hebrews 11, not for the timid however.}

     11 Then I (John) saw another beast rising out of the earth. {A difference, the huge, many headed (geopolitical, on seven hills/continents, aka global, with $ity of Babble) beast, of verse 1, rose up out of the sea. (Of humanity.) These two are prominent in late days prophecy.}

     12 It {also ends up} exercising all the authority of the first beast - in its presence {the little beast, a modern, larger scope fulfillment of the “little horn” of Daniel’s prophecy which came out of a cluster of horns, and as it grew, it uprooted three of the other horns (powers, competing?) around it, Dn.7:8 and 8:9, Rev.12:14?} This one has two horns like a lamb but it {ends up?} speaking like a dragon, and will unlawfully step into the prime horn/seat of the huge many headed geopolitical beast/entity/institution? A bit after the half point of a much praised treaty/league come about after a crises(?) which will consolidate powers. But which treaty, alas, will only last seven years. And it will be broken, in the middle, against Israel, by “taking away or removing” their “perpetual sacrifices” ..of prayers, etc, oR place of? (How it seems to me.) Dn.12:11-12 w/Lk.19:41,44 and 1Cor.3:16.}

     This (smaller, second) beast makes the earth and its inhabitants worship {be in allegiance to?} the first (larger) beast, whose mortal wound was healed. {The last days version/fulfillment, of the larger beast, like yesteryear’s, was, was not, then was again.} 13 It {a two horned office} performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven/sky, to earth in the sight of, and presence of mankind. [Enópios - before, in the presence of, in front of.] {This fiery event pinpoints/ed an office, not (yet?) an individual.}

☀️ 1 - Now concerning the collection for the believers at Jerusalem (hard pressed because of a drought) as I said to the churches of Galatia, so you can do also. 2 On the first day of every week, each of you can put something aside and store it up, as each one determines, so there’s no collecting when I come. 3 And when I arrive, I’ll send those whom you choose with a letter, to carry your gift to Jerusalem. 4 If it seems advisable that I should go also, they’ll travel with me.

     5 I’ll visit you after passing through Macedonia, for I intend to pass through Macedonia to you there in Greece, 6 and perhaps I’ll stay with you or even spend the winter, so you may help me on my journey, wherever I go. 7 For I don’t want to see you now just in passing. I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits. [Paul had spent a year and a half there discipling and teaching, and now it was a work they were doing together, of discipling and teaching, but the Corinthian believers had become a mix of attitudes, even teachings, as this letter of Paul’s has earlier gone into and addressed.]

☀️ 7 - Jesus’ favorite disciple (this is how John referred to himself, did his writings in old age) said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. 8 The other disciples came to shore in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only by about a hundred yards.

     9 And when they got there, they saw a charcoal fire set, with fish on it, and some bread. 10 Jesus said, “Bring some of the fish you’ve just caught!” 11 So Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of 153 large fish, and although there were so many, the net didn’t tear. 12 Jesus said, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples said, “Who are you?” For they knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus gave them some bread and some fish. 14 This was now the third time he revealed himself to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than all this?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my sheep.”

☀️ 50 - I’ll tell you this! {Mere} flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Not can the perishable inherit the imperishable! {The fading away cannot inherit the enduring.} 51 And listen! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep. {In death, a state opposite to life and living, Eccles.9:5,10. If a departed visits it’s from a dimension called the future. It shouldn’t be sought. And don’t doubt a loved ones angel can’t pass by.. God is caring.}

     But we shall all be changed! 52 In a moment! In a mere twinkling of an eye. At the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound. And the dead will be raised imperishable, and we too {“who remain”} shall be changed! 53 For this perishable must - put on - the imperishable, and - this mortal - must put on, immortality. 54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then, shall come to pass, the saying that’s written, “Death is swallowed up in victory!” 55 “O grave, where has gone your victory? O death, where is your sting?” [Kentron - sting, venom, goad “as in Greek writings an iron goad, for urging on oxen, horses and other beasts of burden; hence, the proverb πρός κέντρα λακτίζειν, to kick against the goad”.]

     56 The sting that delivers death is sin [hamartia - missing the mark] and the power of that sting is the law. {And ultimately, GOD iS life, and “is perfect”. An iron/unbreakable measuring rod. OnLy perfect endures.} 57 But thanks be to God! Who GIVES us - the victory - through, our Lord Jesus Christ! {Perishable and perishing/entropy, right down to the root of it, imperfection/hamartia/missing the mark - we’re all in the same boat - remedied by what’s called God’s Great Plan of Salvation, “the Way”.

     58 Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast and immovable! Always abounding in the Lord’s work, knowing that, in him, your labor is not in vain. {With HiS attitude of Love. Herald the news. Let the news do it’s work? Like scattering seed. Sans self.]

🌙 30 - Jesus did many other signs while still with his disciples, which are not written of in this book. 31 But these are written so you may believe. That you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing have life in his name. {Enduring Life.}

     21 Jesus again revealed himself to the disciples. This was by the Sea of Tiberias (eastern side of Lake/Sea of Galilee). 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3 Simon said, “I’m going fishing.” And they said, “We’ll go too.” And so they fished through the night, but they caught nothing.

     4 But just as day was breaking, Jesus stood at the shore, and the disciples didn’t know it was him. 5 He called out to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No, not a one.” 6 He said, “Cast your net to the right of the boat, and you’ll find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul the net in, because of the number of fish. [This had happened earlier too, Lk.5:4-7.]

☀️ (About the resurrection, and the differences of bodies continued.) 41 - There is a glory of the sun. And another glory of the moon. And still another glory of the stars! And star differs from star in their glory!

     42 So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, and what is raised is imperishable. {It doesn't fade away.} 43 It’s sown as ignoble {common}, but is raised in glory. It’s sown in weakness, but is raised in power. 44 It’s sown a natural [psuchikos - natural, unspiritual, worldly] body, but is raised a spiritual [pneumatikos - pertains to the spirit, influenced by the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} (a) spiritual] {filled with God-Himself/Life/Love, thus Perfection filled} body {and being}. If there’s a natural body {and being}there’s a spiritual.  {If there’s a lower/common body, there’s a higher/glorious/unfading body.}

     45 And thus it’s written, “The first man Adam became a living being” the last Adam {Jesus, the First Spirit Body Man/Proto(type)/“Forever First”} became a Life-giving spirit. 46 But it’s not the spiritual {and Perfect} that’s first but the natural {and perishable}. And then the spiritual {and Perfect, a living being with character clear as crystal, and immune to straying/imperfection/entropy/death}. 47 The first, Adam, was made from earth, a person of dust, the second was from heaven and heavenly. 48 As Adam was of dust, so also are all those of dust. And as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven [epouranios - heavenly, celestial, divine]. 49 Just as we have borne and shared the image of the person of dust, we shall be {remade} in the image [eikón - image, likeness, replication, from eikō - meaning to resemble and be like] the person from heaven. {Future not present! Hebrews 11:40.}

☀️ (Disciple John’s account.) 19 - On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the disciples were together, and they had the doors locked for fear of the (national/political) leaders, when Jesus came and stood among them, and he said, “Peace be with you.”

     20 He showed them the wounds on his hands and his side. And the disciples were glad when they saw him. 21 And again he said, “Peace be with you.” And then he told them, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And when he had said this, he blew his breath toward them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit”.

     23 “If anyone forgives [aphiémi - sends away, leaves (off), lets go of, forgives {forgets, overlooks?] sins [hamartia - missing the mark] their own missing the mark is forgiven, and if they do not, they are not forgiven.” {If we disregard other’s shortcomings - silence is golden, displaying neither approval, nor disapproval, just proclaim the news of death overcome and the sky’s the limit as they say, for God’s Presence iS the transforming and purifying force.

     24 Now the disciple Thomas, called the Twin, wasn’t with them at the time. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We’ve seen the Lord!” But Thomas said, “Unless I see the marks in his hands, and touch the mark of the nails, and the wound in his side, I will not believe!”

     26 Eight days later, his disciples were there again, but this time Thomas was with them. The doors again were locked, and Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands, and touch my side. Don’t disbelieve. Believe.” 28 Thomas exclaimed, “Oh my Lord! Oh my God!” {He really rose out from death!} 29 Jesus said, “Have you believed because you’ve seen me? {Touched me, saw me eat.} Blessed are those who believe, and haven’t seen.” {Not yet outwardly and face to face.}

     35 So someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body?” 36 Oh senseless ones! What you plant doesn’t sprout to life unless it dies. {It’s no longer a seed.} 37 And what you plant isn’t the body that will be, but a bare kernel of wheat or some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body. 39 For not all are the same, but there is one form for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and yet another for fish. 40 And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, and the glory of the heavenly is one glory, and the glory of the earthly, is another.

☀️ (Mark’s account of the same events, likely by interview, said to be the first gospel written. But these verses are part of a disputed ending.)

     12 - After these things Jesus appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13 And they went back and told the rest what had happened, but they didn’t believe it.

     14 Afterward he appeared to the eleven as they were at table, and told them their unbelief was due to having stony hearts, as they hadn’t believed those who saw him after he had risen.

     15 And he said, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel [euaggelion - good news or tidings] to the whole creation. 16 The one believing and baptized, sozo [meaning, I heal, preserve, rescue] but the disbelieving [apisteó - disbelieving, unfaithful, doubting] is {still} under penalty {cause and effect, entropy. Not yet pardoned, the record expunged.}

     17 And these signs will accompany those who believe, in my name they will cast out demons, will speak in new tongues {have a new message? A new word..} 18 and if they pick up serpents or drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them. They will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

     {This will certainly be true during the Lord’s long second advent? Consisting of 3 parts? — (1)“the” millennium, yes? A Sabbath millennium, (2)then, the releasing of the adversary/first gone rogue one (& company) and his gathering of descendants of mortal survivors of the apocalypse, to war. They surround the millennial Jerusalem - which is not yet the “New Jerusalem” - and then is his fiery, final defeat. And third, (3)the GWT judgment ‘day’. A ‘day’ of total review, and surely(?) closure for all.

     Jesus’ first brief advent perfectly fulfilled the - Spring - holy days of Leviticus 23 (as if they are prophecy, or an outline). Therefor I think, logically, the Fall holy days prophecy his long second advent. See the names and pattern. 🤓And because of the pattern, I think the release of the adversary, the gathering and the war, takes 500 years. And is the first half of an eighth millennium. And GWT judgment ‘day’ is the 2nd half. Because Revelation 20 is told like describing the crests of waves, and not much of the in between, this “8th day” and “last great day” seems to be hidden? Lev.23(36) and Jn.7:37 -> CU/Christian Universalism. See pinned images on my fb page.}

☀️ [Review, verse 26 - The last enemy abolished (katargeó - destroyed, brought to an end, nullified, rendered obsolete) is death.] 27 - For he “has put all under Jesus’ feet.” Now when it says “all” under him, it’s clear this doesn’t include God himself, who put all under him. [The word things was added to each “all” here, making it read all things under Jesus. This “all” into “all things” was done whenever possible. As an example, compare all the all’s here in verses 27 and 28.. “All” - from the Greek word, pas - “every, all, the whole”] {subjected to Jesus. The translators just couldn’t reaLLy believe? And, they were steeped in that ancient, spiritual propaganda myth of a forever afterlife living torment? A very strong enchantment?}

     28 And when all have been put under [hupotassó - subjected to, subordinate to, submitted to, under obedience to] the Son, the Son as well being subjected to He who put all in subjection under him, God will be all in all [Greek pas en pas. “Things” wasn’t added here — God will be all things in all things just doesn’t work].

     {So how many times in verses 27 and 28 is repeated — “God has put all under Jesus”? All subjected to Jesus.. 5 times.}

    29 Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? {Some did this if a converted loved one died before baptism.} If the dead are not raised, why would anyone be baptized for them? What would be the point?

     30 And why are we in danger every single day? 31 I die every day! {We’re in the process of dying, called entropy, a slow gehenna and the onLy crucible. Also called cause and effect and wrath.} 32 What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If there’s no resurrection! “Let us eat and drink! For tomorrow we die!” 

    33 - Don’t be misled! [By those teachers who were going around teaching there is no resurrection out of death]. “Bad company [homilia - association, conversation, communion, discourse] corrupts good habits” [éthos - custom, habit, manner, character]. {By corrupting good belief and understanding.}

🌙 36 - As they were talking these things over, Jesus himself stood among them, and said, “Peace to you.”

     37 This startled them! And they were frightened for they thought they were seeing a ghost.

     38 And he said, “Why are you troubled? And doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Look at my hands and feet. And see that it’s I myself. Touch me, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones. As you can see I have.” 40 And while he was saying this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

     41 While they were in wonder, but for joy not quite able to believe, he asked, “Have you anything to eat?” 42 So they gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he ate it there with them.

     44 Then he said, “This is what I told you, that what’s written about me in the Law of Moses, in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, is to be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scripture. 46 And he said, “This is what’s written, that the Christ would suffer, and would rise from the dead [nekros - dead, deceased, lifeless, without life] on the third day. 47 And that repentance [metanoia - a change of mind, change in the inner person, a turning away and to] would be proclaimed, in Messiah/Christ’s name, to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem, of repentance/turning, heralded for forgiveness” [for aphesis - forgiveness, release, remission, cancel of debt, struck from the record, complete pardon] of sins [hamartia - missing the mark]. {The conundrum being God iS Life, and “is Perfect” Mt.5:48.}

     20 But in fact! Christ has been raised from the dead [nekros - (from being) dead, deceased, lifeless, without life]. And so he is THE firstfruits - the first of those who fall asleep. 21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection oF the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ, shall all be made alive. {This, with Mt.13:33, key word 3, Which says “the kingdom is like a woman working leaven into three loaves” three harvests.} But each in their own order — (1)Christ THE firstfruits {barley harvest} then (2)at his coming those who belong to Christ {the wheat}. 24 AND then (3)comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father, aFter destroying eveRy rule and every authority - and - power. [The overflowing grape harvest. Rev.21:1-5, and “all” (greek pas) should read “all” not “all things”, as in “Behold!!

☀️ 9 -  For I (Paul) am the least of the apostles. Actually unworthy to be called an apostle! Because I persecuted the church/believers of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than anyone, though it wasn’t I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11 So whether then it was I or they, so we preach [kérussó - proclaim, preach, herald] and so you believed.

     12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 And if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is useless and your faith is empty. 15 And so we are even found to be lying about God, because we testified about him, that he raised Christ, when if the dead are not raised [egeiró - raised, awakened, aroused] then Christ did not rise. 16 For if the dead [nekros - dead, death, deceased, literally - lacking life {the not living/the not alive}] aren’t raised, not even Christ has been raised.

     17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is without value! And you are still in your sins [hamartia - missing the mark/imperfection] {entropy is ruling and will rule. The worm that doesn’t quit - life as we presently know it as a ‘parable’ of the decomposing ‘apple’ and its worm, the decomposing, that does not quit. Entropy, this slow burning gehenna crucible {the onLy crucible} and sieve that separates the chaff from off the wheat, which continues until one of TWO vivifications - 1Thes.4:16-17, oR Rev.21:5, 1Cor.15:24-28. The dis-ease as - part - of the cure, and immunity!?}

🌙 [It is Firstfruits, which is the third holy day of Spring holy week. Firstfruits always follows the regular weekly Sabbath of the week. Jesus died on Passover, was put in the grave as First Day of Unleavened Bread was beginning, and rose three days later as Firstfruits was beginning. The days - Leviticus 23.]

     13 - On the very same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they were talking with one another about all that had happened. 15 And while they were talking, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them. 16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, “What is it that you’re talking about as you walk along?” And they stopped, and looking sad, 18 the one named Cleopas said, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know what has happened there?!”

     19 And Jesus said, “What things?” And they answered, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth! Who was a prophet before God and all the people, mighty in deed and word. 20 And the leaders, our chief priests, delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified! 21 But we had hoped that he was the one chosen to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it’s now the third day since, 22 and some women of our company amazed us by saying they were at the tomb early this morning 23 and found it empty! And that they saw a vision of angels who said he’s alive! 24 Then some others of us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said.”

     25 Then Jesus said, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart, do you not believe all which the prophets spoke? 26 Wasn’t it necessary the Christ should suffer these things? And then enter his glory?” [1Pet.1:11 - Moses and the prophets predicted the sufferings of Messiah and the glories that would result.] 27 And beginning with Moses, he explained the Scriptures written about him.

     28 When they were drawing near to the village, he seemed as though he would keep walking, 29 but they urged him, saying, “Stay with us! For it’s toward evening and the day is about over.” So he went with them.

☀️ 1 - Now I (Paul) would remind you of the good news I passed on to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you’re saved, if you hold fast to it. God forbid your belief be vain and not genuine! 3 For I proclaimed and delivered to you, as of first importance, what I, also, received: that Christ died for our sins [hamartia - missing the mark] as told in the Scriptures.  {And Jesus said, “I go to prepare a place for you” (be crucified) “so you may be where I am”. ..And it is strong enough to appease every conscience.}

     4 That he was buried, and then raised on the third day, as the Scriptures say. 5 That he appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred at one time, most of who are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James (Jesus’ natural/birth brother, Gal.1:19) then again to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.

☀️ 11 - While the women were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the leaders, the chief priests, all that had happened. 12 And when they had a meeting with the rest of the leaders, they decided to give a sum of money to the soldiers 13 and said to them, “Tell the people, ‘his disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep’. 14 And if it reaches the governor's ear, we’ll smooth it over and keep you out of trouble.”

     15 And so the guards took the money and did as the leaders said. And this story is believed among the nation to this day. {About thirty-five or forty years later?}

☀️ 29 - So in meeting, let two or three prophets/teachers speak, and let the others consider with discernment what is said. 30 And if then a revelation is given to another, the first should let that one speak. 31 So that all may prophesy one by one, and all may learn together and be encouraged. 32 One who prophecies is in control of their own spirit. {It’s not like being ‘possessed’ as would occur in pagan observances and rites.} 33 For God is a God of peace, not confusion [akatastasia -disorder, confusion, instability, tumult, chaos; from - a - not, and katastasis - order, stability]. As in all the meetings of believers, 34 the women in church should not be talking [laleó - conversing, speaking, talking, from lalos - talkative] but should be orderly, as the Law also says. 35 If they have questions, they can ask their husbands at home. For it’s not proper to be talkative in church.

     36 Is it from you the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has come to? 37 If anyone thinks they are a prophet, or spiritual, they should acknowledge that the things I’m writing to you are instructions of the Lord. 38 If anyone doesn’t recognize this, ignore them. 39 So, my brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But let all things be done decently and in order.

REVELATION - 13 1-8

BOOK OF REVELATION

{Chapter 13 begins the third and last version of the vision. But from a modern geopolitical perspective. The three versions rejoin at the sounding of the seventh trumpet.

When we left off last week (or so) the dragon was raging. And he was turning his attention more fully upon “the faith’s other children who have the commandments of God and” - by then - “the testimony of Jesus” - Mt.23:39, Rev.7:9. (Which testimony was always their’s ..and then also the nations’.)

So, end of Revelation chapter 12, being also the end of one of three tellings of the vision, surely(?) delivers us to Revelation 16’s gathering to Armageddon battle (Mt.13:30). The chapter concluding with — “..And the dragon stood on the sand of the sea shore”.. HOW he turns his rage upon Israel and takes the world to Armageddon, is chapter 13.

     13:1 - And I (John) saw a {many headed geopolitical} beast {entity, institution} rising up out of the sea [of humanity]. It had ten horns and seven different heads. It had ten crowns upon the ten horns. And upon the heads of it, were inscribed names of blasphemy [blasphémia - slander]. {The spiritual and psychological energy, roar of the dragon, is slander, accusation, rage, hatred which is, of course, madness..} 2 And the beast that I saw was like a leopard {quick?}. But it had feet like a bear's {totalitarian?}. And its mouth was like a lion's mouth {a roman/graeco institution?} {All predator beasts.} But it was the dragon that gave to it, his power, throne and great authority. {Political, societal, ‘global’ king like rule.}

     3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound {expired} but the fatal wound was healed {after the 13:13 event, and it comes about that} the whole world admires and follows after the beast. 4 And (so) they revered the dragon, who had given the authority to the beast, and they revered the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? And who can make war against it?” [Polemeó - wage war, fight, to engage in battle, quarrel; proskuneó - worship, bow down; exousia - authority, power, right, jurisdiction.]

    5 And was given to the beast, a mouth uttering haughty, slanderous and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise {all} authority for forty-two months. {This is the second 42 months/3.5 years of the lauded peace [covenant, treaty, league] that alas, will only last seven years, and will be broken in the middle against Israel - Rev.12:1;, Dan.12:11 with Lk.19:41,44.}

     6 It {the many headed geopolitical beast which rose out of the sea of humanity} opened its mouth to utter slanders against God, blaspheming his name and his tabernacle, and those tabernacling in heaven. [Angels… cherubim; Father and Son (proto) only straight out from God one, so close both pour out God’s Spirit/Presence.] 7 Also it was allowed to make war against the saints [believers/followers] and to conquer them. And authority was given to it over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 And all who dwell upon earth will revere it, everyone whose name has not {yet} been written in the book of life of the lamb who was slain from the founding [katabolé - laying down] of the world [kosmos - order, the world, a properly ordered system, universe, creation].

🌙 {Days begin at sunset rather than midnight. Jesus was sentenced and died on Passover, was put in the tomb as 1st Day of Unleavened Bread was beginning (at the sun’s setting) and rose 3 days later on the 3rd holy day of Spring holy week. This third sacred day is Firstfruits, which always follows the regular weekly (Saturday) Sabbath of the week. So Firstfruits begins ‘saturday’ at sunset as the weekly Sabbath is ending. There are three Sabbaths - no work days - of Spring holy [qodesh - set apart] week, the first and last/7th day of Unleavened Bread, and the regular, weekly ‘saturday’ Sabbath - which is from sunset friday to sunset saturday. Jesus said he would be “in the grave for three days and three nights”. Therefore Passover that year fell upon a Tuesday, Jesus was put into the grave as the sun was setting, which begins ‘Wednesday’ as we call it. First Day of Unleavened Bread is the day after Passover. And Passover meal is not eaten on Passover, but after sunset.}

     Mk.16:1 - When the Sabbath (of 1st Unleavened Bread day) was past, Salome, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, bought spices and prepared them (during friday) for his tomb. {Then they rested during regular weekly Sabbath.} 2 And very early on the first day of the week (sunday/Firstfruits) when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. 3 And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4 But when they got there, they saw the stone had been rolled away. 5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, dressed in a white robe, and they were frightened. 6 And he said, “Don’t be afraid. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen, and is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 Go and tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you’ll see him, just as he told you.” 8 And they hurried out, not knowing what to think, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

     [Some of the earliest manuscripts don’t include 16:9–20, an older ending to Mark’s account.] 9 Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 She went to the others who had been with him and told them as they were mourning and grieving. 11 But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they didn’t believe it.

     LUKE 24:1-12

1 - Then on the first day of the week, at dawn, the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in the body of the Lord Jesus wasn’t there. 4 While they were puzzled and wondering about it, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 The women were frightened and shied away. But the men said, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, when he was in Galilee 7 how the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and rise on the third day.” 8 And so they remembered his words, 9 and going back from the tomb they told all of this to the eleven and the others. 10 Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told it to the apostles, 11 but it seemed to them like an idle tale, and they didn’t pay any attention. 12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. And stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths off to the side. And he went away wondering.
