ENTER THE STORY - A NEW TESTAMENT READING SCHEDULE

Note: It was a highly accelerated biG banG into the universe that is,  like a clock not running, and then,  it was set in motion. “The lion will eat straw 
like the ox.. 
the bear will graze 
with the cow” Isaiah 11:7. 
(But first Isaiah 24:20, Rev.10:4.)
{Ps.91,46,23, Rev.7:15-17}


~ * ~ ~*~ ~ * ~ ~*~ ~ * ~ ~*~ 


List of Some Translator Errors, due to partial disbelief? ~~ Not including God’s riddles/hiding things in plain sight. ~~ Changed “all” whenever possible, to “all things” Rev.21:5, Eph.1:10, Jn.13:3, 1Cor.15:27, five times! And so repeating what 5 times? ..And more. But not 2Tim.3:16 or 1Cor.15:28, for example. ~~ Often rendered not into never and aion/eon into forever. ~~ Translating hamartia - missing the mark, into “sin” (trespass) misses the mark a little. (God is Life, and “is perfect” Mt.5:48, a conundrum for imperfect/missing the mark. But no option to stray in Eden, and creation would have to be an ant farm.) ~~ Of course five separate words turned into ‘hell’, even pit when “dust of” is in the verse & Ps.30:9. The three mentions of lake of fire are at very large, fiery events. Not very understandable in 95 CE or thereabouts, Is.24:20, Rev.10:4 (Ps.91,46,23, Rev7:15-17)

MATTHEW 2 13-23

     06/27 - GospeL Verses

13 - Now when the wise men from the east had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.” {Rev.12:4, the chapter being the middle telling of three tellings of the revelation vision, but verse 17 needs Mt.23:39. The other two tellings are 6:1-2 to 11:19 and 13:1 to 19:11. Then the three rejoin at the seventh trumpet’s sounding. In chapter six is the first veiling.. but once we know it’s there? It’s a riddle! Veils the entire vision, but especially the sixth seal and chapter seven.}

     14 So he rose and took the child and his mother by night and went to Egypt 15 and they stayed there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the LORD had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my Son.”

     16 Then Herod (the Great) when he saw he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious, and he sent and had killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all the region around, who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, 18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children, she refused to be comforted, because they are no more.” [Ramah is the hill overlooking Bethlehem where Rachel was buried.]

     19 Now when Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 20 saying, “Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead.” 21 And he rose and took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream he withdrew to the district of Galilee. 23 And they lived in a city called Nazareth, so what was spoken by the prophets was fulfilled, that he would be called a Nazarene.

06/26 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

1 - Therefore let us go on from the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God {stage one?} 2 and of instruction {stage 2?} about baptisms, then laying on of hands, the resurrection [anastasis] of the dead, and aiónios judgment. [Aiónios is the adjective of the noun, aion, root of eon.] 3 And move on we shall do if God allows. 4 For it’s nigh impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, have shared in the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} 5 and have tasted the goodness of the message of God and the powers of the age [aion] to come, 6 and then have fallen away. It’s impossible - for us - to restore such a one again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God in their heart, and causing him to be ridiculed.

21 - And then on his eighth day, when he was circumcised, and named Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

     22 And when the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses [after forty days] they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord at the temple, 23 as written in the Law of the Lord to do, it being written, “every male who first opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord” 24 and to offer a sacrifice according to the Law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.” {Parallel to his being the only begotten, only straight out from God one. God being Life.. Genius.. Perfection. So the Son is called and will forever be “the Firstborn of all Creation”.}

     25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he wouldn’t see death until he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, 28 he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, 29 “LORD! Now you are letting your servant depart in peace! According to your word to me, 30 for my eyes have seen your salvation 31 you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, 32 a light for revelation to the nations, and for glory to your people Israel.”

     33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him. 34 And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed. 35 A sword will pierce through your own soul, so the hearts of many may be revealed.”

     36 There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband for seven years, 37 and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She didn’t depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. 38 And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the delivery and redemption [lýtron - full ransom-price] of Jerusalem.

   (In the Order Believed Written)

10 - So Jesus being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek, 11 about this we have much to say, which is hard to explain, since you’ve become dull of hearing. 12 By this time you ought to be teachers! But you need someone to teach you still, the primary, basic and beginning principles of the message of God. You still need milk, and not solid food. 13 Everyone living on milk lacks skill in the message of righteousness and justice [dikaiosuné - righteousness, justice] since they are still but a child. 14 But solid food is for the mature. For those having sharpened their powers of discernment, by the constant practice of distinguishing good from evil {not good} [kakos - bad, evil, wicked, harmful, noisome, injurious; from kakía - inner malice – inwardly foul, rotted, compromised, as in the "rot is already in the wood"]. {Imperfection/entropy.. hamartia - “missing the mark”/sinner. Imperfect is an abyss of potential (Rev.9:2). God is Life, and “is Perfect”. Perfect is the final Word of everything. But there’s the matter of at least some power of choice is included in being able to think and reason. God as Life lives through and experiences all things that occur.. and endowed thinking and reasoning to man and angel anyway.. Engineered it so the drama is one and done.

ACTS 2 22-41

 Universalism in the New Testament

       BooK of Acts of the First Believers

                          (Paraphrased)  

(At Pentecost that year, seven weeks after resurrection, the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} was poured out upon the believers. {Father and Son - the only straight out from God one - are so close, both administer God’s Spirit/Presence, same as will saturate and “seal” creation and humanity. It came as a rustling and rumbling wind which caused quite a stir and confusion among those in Jerusalem for Pentecost, so Peter stood up to speak, and concluded with) 22 - “Fellow Israelites, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man shown to you by God with mighty works, wonders and signs that God did through him among you — as you yourselves know — 23 this Jesus, was delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God when you crucified and killed him by the hands of lawless men. 24 But God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it wasn’t possible for death to hold him. 25 For David [known to be a prophetical ‘type’ of Jesus]  says concerning it, ‘I saw the LORD always before me, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken, 26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced! My flesh also will dwell in expectation. 27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades [direct greek replacement for “sheol, where there’s no doing nor knowing” Ecclesiastes 9:10] nor will you let your holy one see corruption. 28 You have made known to me the path of Life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence!’

     29 Brethren! I may say to you with confidence, about the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath (Ps.132:11) to him that he would set one of his descendants upon his throne. 31 And he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus, God raised up. And of that - we all are witnesses. 33 Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of His Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. 34 For David didn’t ascend into the heavens!  But he prophesied, ‘The LORD said to my Lord, sit at my right hand, 35 until I make your enemies your footstool.’ [1Cor.15:22-28 w/ Mt.13:33, key word 3, barley, wheat, grape. Whereas Mt.13:30 is Rev.16:14-15-16 and, or Mt.25:1-13(10) — JN.5:28,29.

     36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

     37 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers! What shall we do!?” 38 And Peter said, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins [hamartia - missing the mark] and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”

     40 And with many other words he bore witness (testified) saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation/what was generated!” {This imperfection/entropy, that “doesn’t quit”.} 41 So those who received his message were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

     06/25 - GospeL Verses

1 - After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of king Herod the Great, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is he who’s been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and we’ve come to worship him.”

     3 Now when Herod heard this! He was vexed, and all Jerusalem {the powers that were} with him. 4 So assembling the leaders of the people, the chief priests and scribes, he questioned them where the Christ was prophesied to be born. 5 They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet, 6 ‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah. For from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’”

     7 Then Herod secretly having called the wise men inquired of them what time the star had appeared. 8 And he sent them on to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you’ve found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.”

     9 After this, the wise men {astronomer, astrologers} went on their way. And behold, the star they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. 10 And when they saw it, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And going inside, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they knelt and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And then warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.

5 - Even Christ didn’t exalt himself to be made a high priest. Instead he was appointed by he who said to him, “You are my Son, today I’ve begotten you”. 6 And says in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” 

     7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to he who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. 8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. 9 And being tested as perfect, he became the source of enduring salvation to all who obey him.

KEYS - Bible Prophecy

The gospel rode forth conquering, openly victorious over powers, principalities. The response, war with its inequity & plagues, the 4 horsemen, seals 1-4.. (#5)blood of martyrs like of Abel, (#6)1st thermonuclear as warfare - the whole vision is veiled by the seal descriptions as their 1st & last effects blended(ch.6) now we are at the pause of 7:1,3! Still holding.. Meanwhile two groups being sealed on foreheads but reverse the order, Mt.23:39. The 1st group mentioned is also part of the 2nd. Spiritual virgins, Rev.14:4.

      Now, the revelation vision is told 3 times (another veil) — 6:1-2 to 11:19; chapter 12, but vs.17 needs Mt.23:39; and 13:1 to 19:11. And the 3 rejoin at the 7th trumpet. Three tellings is why the first seal 6 event is also Rev.13:13.

     Cast of characters - (1)$ity of Babble (lol) sitting on 7 hills/continents (aka gone global; free enterprise hijacked, gone dissolute) she rides (is oligarchy with) the (modern) (2)many headed geopolitical beast/entity/institution ..what will happen when the huge beast rides her? Rev.17:12,16. (Rev.13:1 and Dan.7:7,19 with Dan.2:36-45 - iron/bronze - roman/greek foundations/western world institution.) (3)The ‘mystery babble’ forehead of “the world” versus the seal on forehead of Rev.7, 14:4. (4)the little beast, the 13:13 event was the first thermonuclear event of chapter 6, seal 6, but the event pinpointed an office not an individual. (Yet?) (5)An of the world “false prophet” whose “strong delusion” of “seating man in the temple as god”/highest power has caused “Christendom” to “fall away”. This one has modern wonders and “miracles to mislead” besides enabling 13:13, and also puts forth a prophecy of course.

     Dan.9:27; 12:11 - (After the thermonuclear as warfare, pause of Rev.7:1,3 is interrupted in some way) a lauded “peace, peace” treaty which alas will only last seven years, will be broken after about 3.5 years, against Israel by “taking away or removing” their holy place of “perpetual sacrifices” of prayers, etc (Luke 19:41,44). “And 1,290 days, or that is 3.5 hebrew years plus 30 days later, will be set up the” (final) “abomination that desolates”. This time upon the human temple meant for God’s Spirit/Presence (1 Corinthians 3:16). Next verse, Dan.12:12 “Happy is the one/those, who wait, and come to, the days 1,335” which is 45 days later? The last “ten days” - Rev.2:10 - escalating from “cannot buy or sell” to “will be executed”?

     Matthew 13:30 - the still tares gather to/are gathered to fiery Armageddon battle (Rev.16:14-15-16) [Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4]. And “the wheat” is gathered into the barn (Matthew 25:1-13(10) - the “door” to serving called reigning during the Lord’s long second advent?

     Ultimately “the lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with cow” Isaiah 11:7. “Twelve manner of fruit for every moon/month” Rev.22, which chapter has in it narrative that is spoken outside of the vision. Like the rich man and Lazarus parable portrays initial inner conditions of some during GWT Judgment (and Closure) ‘day’.

8 - Not far away that same night, there were shepherds in the field, keeping watch over their flock, 9 when an angel of the Lord appeared to them. The glory of the Lord was shining brightly about them, and the shepherds were filled with great fear and wonder. 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for listen, I bring you good news, of great joy, that will be for all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you, you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger” (in a feeding trough). 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest! And his delight, peace on Earth among men!”

     15 When the angels left, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this which the LORD has made known to us!” 16 And they went with haste, and they found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. 17 And when they saw it, they told all they had heard concerning the child. 18 And all who heard it wondered. 19 But Mary treasured up these things, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them by the angel.

1 - In the earthly priesthood, every high priest from among men is appointed to act on behalf of the people in their relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 A priest can deal gently with the unknowing and wayward, since he himself has human weakness [astheneia - weakness, disease, infirmity, sickness, frailty, dependence, infirmity that causes inability to pursue or do what they would like to; from asthenes - “a” not, and sthenes - strength - without strength]. 3 So the {earthly} priest has to offer sacrifice for their own sin [hamartia - missing the mark] just as for those of the people. {Sacrifices for and on behalf of the people. noT for God’s sake - Ps.40:6 - “sacrifice and offering you do not want”.} 4 And no one takes this honor for theirself {of being a priest for the people} but only when called by God, as Moses’ brother Aaron was.

Able to pierce and divide soul from spirit, joint from marrow, and discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 No creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us - hold fast - {and rest in} our confession [homologia, homo-logia - literally “together-Word”]. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses. But he was tested in every respect even as we are, yet without sin [hamartia - missing the mark].16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find the grace that helps in time of need. {Every day. And to escape the self first and foremost character, which misses the mark and is therefore entropic, a process that “does not quit, so 1Tim.4:10.}

     {Ps.68:13 - If you rest (enter rest) like a dove in the sheep’s pasture, you will have wings like silver with feathers dipped in gold.}

57 - The time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. 58 Her neighbors and relatives heard how the Lord had blessed her, and they rejoiced with her. 59 And - on the eighth day - they came to circumcise the child. {Symbolizes, in the “new” way (THE way) the removal of the self first and foremost, carnal character. The collective completed during the “8th ‘day’”/millennium, during GWT Judgment/Discernment/Review and Kolasis/Correction ‘Day’.} And they would have called him Zechariah after his father, 60 but his mother said, “No, his name is John.” 61 “But none of your relatives are named John!” they said. 62 And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he wanted. 63 And he asked for a writing tablet and he wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed. 64 And immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue was loosed, and he spoke and blessed God. 65 Wonder came upon the family and neighbors. And these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea. 66 For they wondered in their hearts, ‘What will this child be?’ For they could see, the hand of the LORD was with him.

   (In the Order Believed Written)

4 - For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way, “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” 5 And again in this passage he said “They shall not enter my rest.” 6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience {not following the instructions} 7 again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long later, in the words already quoted, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” {Don’t LET our heart be hardened. The face of the wolf (in sheep’s clothing no less!) is accusation. Of our self. Of others. Of that other group over there.. The us and them attitude. But especially the accusations about God. Remember his voice has to speak to all, not just the best among us. But also the worst. Surely pre-flood was hands off. Imperfection/entropy is an abyss oF potential.. And how did Jesus preach to those who were waiting and ridiculing while the ark was being built? 1 Pet.3:19-20 -> 2Pet.2:5, imo.}

    {Jesus said - “All those - in the tombs/graves - will hear God’s voice and will come forth (from where? Clue - they’re in graves/tombs.) Some rising into the resurrection of life (into THE millennium, to serve called reigning.. for to do His works is surely to reign.. crown of Life, after all, not metal). And some rise in the resurrection into GWT judgment” ‘day’ (Jn.5:28-29) which elsewhere He calls agelasting correction “kolasin aionion” (oR “korrection eonian”) Mt.25:46. The crucible being life as we presently know it - this unavoidable, all important contrast - untiL vivification at 1Cor.15:52,53 or Rev.21:5, 1Cor.15:24-28. All in the kingdom of heaven shall have character that is clear as crystal. Humanity and creation sealed. “The lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow..” Is.11:7}

18 - Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place like this. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19 And Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to separate from her quietly. 20 But as he considered it all, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins [hamartia - missing the mark].” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord spoke long ago by the prophet, 23 “Behold, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel”

which means, God with us.

     24 When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the LORD instructed him and took her as his wife, 25 but knew her not, until she had given birth to a son, who he named Jesus.

1 - So! While the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of us should seem to fail to reach that rest. 2 For good news came to us just as to them of old, but the message they heard didn’t benefit them, because they weren’t united in faith with those who did hear. 3 For we who have believed enter that rest, as he said, “As I swore in my wrath {cause and effect} ‘They shall not {cannot} enter my rest.’” Although! His works were finished from the foundation/forming of the world. {He has his blueprint.. it’s all in motion. What’s the logic in our stalling? And not “entering that REST” that leaning and dependence upon Him to do HiS work in us. All we have to do, is be His. It’s all plus, plus. He has each one’s highest blueprint and spiritual dna. He can be trusted.}

46 - And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord! 47 And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! 48 For he has looked on the humble estate of his handmaiden. And behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed. 49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name! 50 And his mercy is for those who revere him from generation to generation.

     51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. 52 He has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate. 53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.

     54 He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, 55 as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring - forever.”

     56 And Mary remained with Elizabeth, in the hill country, for about three months, then she returned home.

12 - Take care, brothers and sisters that there not be in any of you an evil [ponéros - evil, wicked, bad, malicious, harmful] unbelieving heart, which can lead you to falling away from the living God. 13 Instead encourage and exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none may be hardened by the misleading trickiness of sin. 14 For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed, we hold our original confidence, firm to the end. 15 As it’s said, “Today! - If you hear his voice, don’t harden your heart as in the rebellion.”

     16 For who were those who heard, and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt, led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he grieved for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned and fell in the wilderness? {Proof #2 after hands off pre-flood - proof imperfect can never work, along with just telling us.} 18 And to whom did he swear they would not {could not} enter his rest? But to those who were disobedient? {If we don’t follow “the way” we cannot reach the destination it is meant to lead to, until much later, and may miss serving called reigning during the Lord’s long 2nd advent, surely(?) full scope version of his so brief 1st one.} 19 So we see that they were unable to enter {or much later for others to translate properly? Like changing all to all things.. aion, root of eon into for ever ..and ever. And changed five, yes five words into reading ‘hell’ - ancient spiritual propaganda myth and enchantment} because of disbelief. {But is it surprising God’s Truth sounds too Good to be true? And note: the 3 mentions of lake of FIRE are at huGe, fieRy —> events.}

     4 When Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby in her womb leaped, she was filled with the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God}, 42 and she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women! And blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 Why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come here? 44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy! 45 And blessed is she who believed there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the LORD.”
