N. TESTAMENT & PROPHECY ADVANCED CU ANNUAL STUDY, VERSES PARAPHRASED [REFERENCES] {THOTS}

Hebrews 7:18-24  Luke 3:23-4:15

             ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 7:18-24

18 - For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and inability. 19 For the-law-makes-nothing-perfect. {Its purpose is to define imperfect? And to produce a place for Messiah to begin.}

     But a better hope [elpis - *expectation*] is revealed - *through which we draw near to God*. 20 And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without an oath. 21 but he became a priest with an oath, when God said to him: “The LORD has sworn, and will not change his mind: ‘You are a priest forever [eis hé aión - for the age].” {Oath - ISAIAH 45:23 - “I have sworn by myself” (because there is nothing higher to swear by). “The word [dabar - word, matter, thing, speech, command, promise] is gone out of my mouth in righteousness. It shall not turn back.” (Remember, he spoke creation into as is …(then set it in motion.) “Unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear [shaba - swear, take an oath, vow; related to sheba or shibah - seven, seventh, seven times — completion, solemn and binding oath.]

     [From biblehub dot com - “God had completed His work that He had done, and He rested on the seventh day” Gen.2:2. Seven is the pattern of time and creation. Everything that follows, Sabbath, sabbatical years, Jubilee, echoes this inaugural pattern of work crowned by rest and blessing.”]

     22 What this means is Jesus is the guarantor [egguos - surety, pledge, guarantee] of a better covenant. 23 The former priests were many, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, 24 but because of the abiding of him for the age permanent he holds the priesthood. (The verse word for word.)

            🌙 P.M. Luke 3:23-4:15

23 - Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years old, being the son, as was supposed, of Joseph, the son of Heli..  24 - 36 …37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan, 38 the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God. {Notice, son of God as first/proto.}

     Lk.4:1 - And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit {Presence of God} returned from the Jordan River and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness 2 for forty days.

     And the devil came to tempt him. Jesus ate nothing during those days, and when they were ending, he was hungry 3 and the devil said to him, “If you’re the Son of God, command this stone to become bread!” 4 But Jesus answered, “It’s written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’”

     5 And the devil took him up and in a moment of time, showed him all the kingdoms of the world, 6 and said to him, “I will give to you all this authority, and their glory, for it’s been delivered to me, and I give it to whoever I will.” {Hijacked! Confiscated! ..Actually engineered for this ‘quick’ one&done, all important, unavoidable contrast. Devil as accelerator.} 7 “And if you will worship me, it will all be yours!”

     8 And Jesus answered, “It’s written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and him, only, shall you serve.’”

     9 And he took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said, “If you’re the Son of God, throw yourself down! 10 For it’s written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you,’ 11 and ‘on their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”

     12 And Jesus answered, “It’s also written, ‘You shall not put the LORD your God to the test.’” 13 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until a later opportune time. {Truth - is the shield and sword, “thy word is truth” Jn.17:17.}

     14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being approved of by all.

Hebrews 7:13-17 Luke 3:15-22 Mark 1:9-13

             ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 7:13-17

13 - The one these things are spoken about belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. 14 For it’s evident our Lord was descended from Judah. And about that tribe Moses didn’t say anything about priests.

     15 So this becomes even more evident when a new priest arises in the example of Melchizedek, 16 who is a priest, not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning one’s descent, but by the power of an indestructible {non-entropic} life. 17 For it is testified of him, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” {Who seemed, by the way met, to have a non ending priesthood.}

            🌙 P.M. Luke 3:15-22, Mark 1:9-13

15 - As the people were wondering about John, whether he might be the Christ, 16 he answered them, saying, “I baptize you with water! But he who is mightier than I is coming! The strap of whose sandals I’m not worthy to untie! He’ll baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with {his} fire! {Spirit.} 17 His winnowing fork is in his hand! To clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” {Chaff is part of the wheat.. the kernal goes into his barn - “we’re the big door prize” - Jn Prine. And the chaff is blown away in the breeze.. {like what occurs during “the 8th day”. And it’s HE who has the winnowing fork! Not Satan with a pitchfork in his forever kingdom of pain, sorrow, and death, and 80% or more of all humanity.. Lol, God “is Perfect” Mt.5:48.}

     18 And with many other exhortations John proclaimed the good news to the people. 19 But Herod the tetrarch (the son of Herod the Great who had tried to destroy/devour Jesus when he was one or two years of age, Rev.12:4, the chapter is the middle of three tellings of the revelation vision - with Mt.23:39) who had been publicly scolded by John for Herodias, his brother's wife, adding to all the evil he had already done, 20 he locked John up in prison.

     21 When the people were baptized [“preparing the way before him”] and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit {Presence of God in fullness} descended and alighted upon him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven saying, “You are my beloved Son. With you I am well pleased.”

    MARK 1:9 - In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River. 10 And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove. 11 And there was heard a voice from heaven saying, “You are my beloved Son, and with you, I am well pleased.” [“We shall be like him.”]

     12 Then the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness. 13 And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. {First gone rogue one. God, being Life, suffers all things, and endowed thinking and reasoning ability to mankind and angelkind anyway! And engineered this ‘quick’ one & done contrast/proof.} And he was with the wild animals {I bet they were friendly with him} and the angels ministered to him.

ACTS 4 23-37

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

     Book of the Acts of the First Believers

23 When Peter and John were released {from the sanhedrin/court} they went to the rest of the believers and reported what the chief priests and elders had said. 24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together in prayer and praise, saying, “Sovereign LORD, you who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and everything in them, 25 and who through our father David, your servant, said by the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} — ‘Why do the nations rage?! And the people devise vain things?! 26 The highest ones of earth gather and set theirselves, against the LORD and against his Anointed.’ 27 In fact, this has happened here in this very city! For Herod (Antipas), Pilate the governor, the Gentiles (of the nations) and the people of Israel were united against Jesus. Your holy servant, whom you anointed. 28 But it was your purpose, and your plan, that you ordained to happen! 29 And now, LORD, hear their threats and grant to your servants to speak your word [logos - reasoning, message; root word of logic] with all boldness, 30 while you stretch out your hand to heal, with signs and wonders performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

     31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God}. And they continued to speak the word/message of God with boldness. [Ps.2]

     {God is Life and “is perfect” so imperfect is entropy (which “doesn’t quit”) and “God is savior..” 1TIM.4:10. Also “perfect” means the ‘end’ result of this one & done (greek word “tel” the end-aim) can’t be anything but the best one possible.}

     32 Those who believed were of one heart and mind. No one even said what belonged to them was theirs, but they had all things in common. {Not a state supplies.. and thus owns, situation.} 33 And with great power the apostles were proclaiming and testifying to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 And no one among them was in need, for as many as were owners of lands and houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold 35 and put it in the apostle’s hands, and it was distributed to each as any had need. [From a Biblehub commentary (Ellicott’s) - “There was, in this sale of their estates, a proof of faith in the future desolation which Jesus had foretold, having properties in Palestine” (the name began as the world’s name for Israel) “was likely to be a source of anxiety rather than profit. Like Jeremiah had shown his faith in the future restoration of his people by purchasing the field at Anathoth”.]

     36 And so it was too, that Joseph, also called Barnabas, which means son of encouragement [paraklésis], a Levite (line who served in the temple, but not as a priest) and a native of Cyprus, 37 sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money to the apostles.

     {Barnabas goes with Paul on Paul’s first “missionary journey” - the first of his travels proclaiming the good news of resurrection, and belief and following Jesus to inherit the better resurrection - Mt.25:46 “into Life” (Mt.25:1-13!) or into “aionion kolasis / eonian korrection / age of correction - Rev.20, “putting on perfection and (thus) immortality” at the palin(again)genesis, Rev.21:5, tho “all” was changed into “all things”. Still true but a downgrade. Note, the three mentions of lake of fire are at huge, fiery events. Father’s outline(s) - the week plus 1 millennia; the Spring and Fall holy days of Lev.23 as 1st and 2nd advents.}

Hebrews 7:11-12  Luke 3:7-14 and ACTS 4:23-37 separately

             ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 7:11-12

11 - If perfection had been achievable through the Levitical priesthood - for under it the people received the law - what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the priestly order of Melchizedek, rather than the already established one, named after the priestly order of Aaron? [Moses’ brother.] 12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is a change in the law as well. {Jesus said it’s not enough to not murder (for example) but to hate is to commit murder in the heart. The Law is the same, we add to it - “love” as fulfilling it - because “love works no ill”, Ro.13:10, 1Cor.13. Keeping Sabbath is important, now daily as our rest is in Jesus, the new way/covenant, Heb.4.}

            🌙 P.M. Luke 3:7-14

7 - John {the baptist/baptizer, cousin or second cousin to Jesus? Lk.1:36} said to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?!” {I’ve always thought this was said when the leaders, the Pharisees, etc got there(?) But, it says “to the crowds” .. “The poison of snakes is under our tongues!” Ro.3:13, Ja.3:8}

     8 “Bear fruits in keeping with repentance! And don’t even begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham! 9 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees! Every tree that doesn’t bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire!” {NoT an unfruitful or damaged tree into an ‘everlasting’ afterlife fire.. But think 70 CE.. cause and effect, no shield of God’s Spirit/Presence, add in how much the wolf hates and craves to destroy..}

     10 And the crowds asked him, “What then shall we do?!” 11 And he answered, “Whoever has two tunics, share with the one who has none, and whoever has food, do likewise.” {This is not via mankind government to the point of communism utopia which alas has always been anything but. This is our neighbor, and family, friends, acquaintances. And charitable gifts. Real life, not modern life’s political cubicles? Prone to mostly missing the mark due to bound to occur waste and misuse? Siphoning for political strengthening causes?}

     12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized and said, “Teacher, what shall we do?” 13 And he told them, “Collect no more than you’re supposed to.” 14 Soldiers also asked him, “And we, what shall we do?” He said, “Don’t extort money from anyone by threats or false accusation. And be content with your wages.”

Hebrews 7:4-10  Mark 1:1-8

             ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 7:4-10

4 - Think of how great this man was to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of all he recovered! [From Abraham’s “battle against the kings” with a small band(?) to rescue his nephew Lot from being in captivity to a league of Mesopotamian kings.]

     5 And those descendants of Levi [from whose line were the civil servants, first at the tabernacle, and later the temple, which was literally the center of the twelve tribe nation] they have a commandment in the law to gather tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, though they too are descended from Abraham.

     6 But this Melchizedek, received tithes from Abraham. And he blessed Abraham who had the promises from God. 7 It’s beyond dispute that the inferior in office is blessed by the superior. 8 In the one case tithes are received by mortal men, but in the other case, by one of whom it is fabled/implied/made to look as though he lives. [The way they met is like Melchizedek had no beginning or end.. like we see his path, Abraham crossed, and it just goes on without visible beginning or end.. And therefor (Paul or Apollo) is saying Melchizedek is a type of Christ, the Messiah.]

     9 One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, 10 paid tithes to Melchizedek through Abraham.

            🌙 P.M. Mark 1:1-8

(Mark was not a disciple, he may have seen and heard Jesus at a young age? He became a helper and sort of secretary to Paul and others and traveled some with Paul and fellow workers. His gospel account is thought to be the earliest and much of it by interview.) 1 - The beginning of the gospel [euaggelion - a good message, good news] of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. {The entire message is the logos personified, and the written logos.}

     2 As it’s written in Isaiah the prophet - “I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way” 3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

     4 (And so) John came, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, and confessing their sins [hamartia - missing the mark].

     6 Now John (“the baptist”/baptizer) was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey. 7 And he preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I! The strap of whose sandals I’m not worthy to bend down and loose. 8 I have baptized you with water. But he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God}.

     {Father, and Son-the only straight out from God one, called forever first/proto, are so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence. Same as will saturate and “seal” all creation and humanity}.

Hebrews 6:19-7:3  Luke 3:1-6

             ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 6:19-7:3

19 - And so, we have all this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, so we are able to enter into that which is within the veil, and enter the inner room of the temple. (God’s Presence/Spirit.) 20 Jesus has gone in ahead of us, as scout and guide on our behalf, having been made high priest ‘forever’ [eis hé aion - to the age] after the priestly order of Melchizedek. {Without beginning or end, aka, always during these ages and advents.}

     7:1 - For Melchizedek, king of Salem [shalem - peace, peaceful] priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter [kopé - cutting, strike, blow, carnage] {😳war] of (the battle of defense against four) kings, and blessed him. {A priest of peace blessed him coming back from a war - of defense.} 2 And to him Abraham tithed a tenth. Melchizedek is, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, a king of peace. [Jeru-salem.] 3 He leaves behind no record of father or mother, nor genealogy. And so showing neither beginning of days nor end of days, seems to continue like the Son of God, as a priest forever [diénekés - continually, unceasing, perpetually].

            🌙 P.M. Luke 3:1-6

[Luke began his gospel account as - “Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by the original eyewitnesses of them. And having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too have decided to write an accurate account..]

     3:1 - In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod [Antipas, son of Herod the Great] being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

     3 John went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance, for the forgiveness of sins [hamartia - missing the mark] {imperfection/entropy}. 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness - Prepare the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight! 5 For every valley will be filled! Every mountain and hill will be made low! The crooked shall become straight! The rough places shall become level, 6 and all [pas - all, every, the whole] will see the salvation of God!” [See - horaó - see, perceive, attend to; properly, to stare at, by implication to discern clearly; perceive with inward spiritual perception, understand.]

N.Testament & Prophecy Advanced CU Study, verses paraphrased  [ ] references { } thots

Hebrews 6:12-18  Luke 2:39-52

             ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 6:12-18

12 We aught not be spiritually sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 13 When God made the promise to Abraham, he swore by his own self and his own name. This is because there is none greater than he. 14 And what he said was, “Surely - I will bless you, and multiply you.” 15 And so Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.

     16 We swear by something greater than our self, and in disputes, an oath is final. {Notarized, stamped, sealed.} 17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise, the - unchangeable character - of his purpose - he guaranteed it with an oath (Isaiah 45:23).

     18 And so by these two unchangeable things {the promise/oath, and} it’s impossible for God to lie, we flee to him for refuge. And we hold fast to the hope that’s set before us, due to such strong encouragement.

     [The word translated encouragement, is the Greek, paraklésis - which means comfort, appeal, consolation, urging, exhortation, encouragement. It’s root is paraclete, paráklētos - Jesus said to the disciples, “I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high” (Lk.24:49). Earlier he had said “I am going to the Father ..I will ask him, and he’ll give you another Helper (paráklētos) to be with you to the age/aion” (Jn.14:16). {Surprise, the very Spirit/Presence of God, Father himself!} The helper, advocate, paráklētos, is from the words, pará which means “from close-beside”, and kaléō - to call, make a call. {Who calls? God calls.} Also means “a legal advocate who makes the right judgment-call because close beside”.]

            🌙 P.M. Luke 2:39-52

39 - And when Mary and Joseph had done everything according to the Law of the LORD, they returned to their own town of Nazareth, in Galilee. 40 And the child (Jesus) grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him.

     41 His parents went to Jerusalem every year for the Feast of Passover. 42 And when he was twelve, they went up as was their habit, 43 but this time, when the festival was over and they were returning home, they didn’t know Jesus had stayed behind. 44 Thinking he was in the group, they went a day's journey, before they began to look for him among their relatives and friends. 45 And when they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for him.

     46 After three days they found him in the temple. He was sitting among the teachers, listening to them, and asking them questions. 47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and at his answers.

     48 When Joseph and Mary saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said, “Son! Why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.” 49 But he said, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know I must be in my Father's house?”

     50 They didn’t really understand what he meant. 51 And he went with them, to his hometown of Nazareth, always obedient to them.

     And Mary treasured up all these things in her heart. 52 And the boy Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with both God and man.

     [Luke likely wrote his accounts largely by interview. He was a Greek doctor who met Paul when Paul was on the second of his three missionary travels. Four, if we count the journey to Rome “in chains”.]
