☀️ A.M. Hebrews 10:18-22
18 - Where there is forgiveness [aphesis - pardon, release, remission] there is no more [ouketi - no more, no longer] offering for sin. 19 TheReFoR, brothers and sisters - since we hAve confidence {being pardoned, declared innocent/righteous} - to enter the most holy place {God’s Presence} by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way he opened for us through the curtain [through the curtain and veil of the temple, to Father’s Spirit and Presence] that is, through Jesus’ bodily life and death, 21 aNd, since we have a great high priest over the house of God - let us draw near, with a genuine heart in full confidence and faith. For our hearts have been sprinkled clean from a bad [poneros - evil, wicked, malicious, bad] conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. {Sprinkled and washed like priests’ cleansing of self and others, a shadow, reflection, replica of the real, which is Christ, once for all. π€ Such is the human condition - it was portrayed over and over, every year, week and day (the sacrifices provided food for the priests, etc. And humanity allowed to be carnivore (during and) after the flood to avoid being prey?} But when it happened, they didn’t recognize it. Few of the ‘experts’ understood and perceived, even with the miracles. Prophecy is a miracle too.. Through the prophets He told Israel and other nations over and over what a runaway train heading to abyss/war/fiery judgments they were on. And ultimately it iS God’s judgments. For it was He who created a cause and effect universe (as opposed to ant farm? Immunity versus ant farm?).. The first lake of fire mention is at armageddon. Last Seal 6 event(s). The seals are described at the very beginning of the vision, as their full and entire effects, first to last. Which seems to have hidden what they are and most of the vision!]
π P.M. Luke 5:27-39
27 - Later on as he was walking, Jesus saw a tax collector named Levi [Matthew] sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, “Come and follow me.” 28 And leaving the booth, Levi followed. (Tax collectors were very disliked in Israel, and viewed as traitors, because the were working as tax collector’s for occupying Rome.)
29 And later, at his house, he gave a great feast for him. And there was a large company of tax collectors and others reclining at table with them. 30 And the Pharisees and scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 But Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, only the unwell.” {Which is all of us!} 32 “I’ve not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
33 And they said, “The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do our disciples, but yours both eat and drink!”
34 Jesus said, “Can you make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom’s with them?” {During celebration/feast.} 35 “Days will come when the bridegroom is taken away. They will fast in those days.”
36 And so he told a parable, “No one patches an old garment with a patch made of new cloth. If they do, the piece from the new won’t match the old, and the tear will be made worse.
37 And no one puts new wine into an old wineskin. If they do, the new wine will burst the skin and be spilled, and the skin will be ruined. 38 But new wine must be put into a new wineskin. 39 But no one after drinking old wine desires the new, for they say, ‘The old is good” {enough?} [ChrΓ©stos - kind, good, benevolent, useful.] {Even in this imperfection/entropy/unavoidable contrast, there is a ton of good life, and blessings of life. We shouldn’t believe the negative, angry voices and trends, they are gathering to armageddon.. large or small, individual or collective. The three frog/sLow boil, voices of Rev.16: the voice of the dragon/accuser/rage/hate; the voice of the beast(s)/leading to a many headed geopolitical entity/institution ‘of peace’; and the voice of the world’s false prophet, whose “strong delusion” of “seating man in the temple as god”/highest power, has caused Western Civilization, once called Christendom, to “fall away” (in preparation) Rev.12:15. (The chapter is the middle of 3 tellings of the vision, vs.17 with Mt.23:39.) As Rev.16:14-15-16 versus, Mt.25:1-13!
