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)

1 - My little children (disciple, elder and apostle John is now an old man) I am writing these things to you so that you may not miss the mark, the goal. But if anyone does, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 He is the propitiation [hilasmos - atonement, expiation-took on the penalty] (wage, result) for our sins [hamartia - missing the mark] (which penalty is in it.. the missing the mark, imperfection, which is not only imperfect, an abyss of potential even, but is this slow gehenna fade, entropy which “does not quit” but the end-aim (greek tel/end) is death - the debt he paid) and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

     3 And by this we know we have come to know him, if we do the things he says [entolé - instructs, orders, commands, instructions]. 4 Someone who says “I know him” but doesn’t follow after him is claiming a falsehood, and the truth is not {yet} in them. 5 But whoever keeps his words, in them truly, the love of God is being perfected. And by this - we can know we are abiding in him.

ACTS 3 1-26

 Universalism in the New Testament

       BooK of Acts of the First Believers

                          (Paraphrased)    

1 - Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the ninth hour, an hour of prayer. 2 And a man lame from birth was carried daily and laid at one of the gates of the temple - the one called the Beautiful Gate - to ask alms of those entering the temple. 3 Seeing that day Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked alms of them. 4 And Peter and John stopped, and Peter said, “Listen.” 5 And so he fixed his attention upon them, expecting to receive something. 6 But Peter said, “I have no silver or gold. But what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” 7 And he took him by the right [dexios - from dechomai - to receive] hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. 8 And then leaping up, the man stood and began to walk, and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God! 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God, 10 and recognized him as the one who sat at the Beautiful Gate, asking for alms every day. And they were filled with wonder and amazement.

     11 While the man stayed with Peter and John, all the people, utterly astounded, ran together to them in the portico called Solomon's Porch. 12 And when Peter saw the crowd that had gathered, he addressed the people saying, “People of Israel, why do you wonder at this?! Or why do you stare at us? As though by our own power or goodness we have made him walk? 13 No, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him. 14 But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you! 15 And you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. And to this we are witnesses! 16 And his name—faith in his name—has made this man strong, which you can see for yourself. And so the faith that is through Jesus has given to him this perfect health in the presence of you all.

     17 And now, brethren, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your leaders. 18 But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, has thus been fulfilled. 19 Repent therefore, and turn, that your sins may be blotted out. 20 And so times of refreshing may come from the Presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah appointed, Jesus, 21 whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all. About all this God spoke through his holy prophets long ago. 22 Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. And you shall listen to him! In whatever he tells you. 23 And it shall be that every soul who doesn’t listen to that prophet shall be separated from the people.’ {Earthly destruction, judgment, consequences, cause and effect.. To be not in the “first” resurrection but instead in the one Jesus called an aionion kolasin / eonian korrection / age of correction, Mt.25:46 originally. The rich man and Lazarus parable, and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22, portray initial, inner conditions of some - the inner, outside of the Light darkness, gnashing of teeth, etc. But Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32, and what is the most effective “correction/kolasin”? Inner, in and of the heart. I believe during GWT Judgment ‘day’ that “judgment” like now, is in the heart. God is, surely(?) 100% unfettered Genius and “is Perfect” Mt.5:48. Hence this entropy, so “God is savior..” 1Tim.4:10.}

     “24 And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days. 25 You are the children of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed shall - all - the families of the earth be blessed.’” [Galatians 3:16 - “scripture does not say seeds, meaning many, but seed, meaning one - Christ”. In Christ all families of earth shall be blessed.]

     26 “God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness” [ponéria - wickedness, evil, malice, from pónos - pain, laborious trouble].

21 - And when the boat had crossed back to the other side, again a great crowd gathered by the shore to meet them. 22 Then came along a leader of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet 23 and implored him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death! Come and lay your hands on her, so she may be made well and live.”

     24 And so he went with him. And the crowd went with them, crowding about him. 25 And in the crowd was a woman who had had a bleeding for twelve years. 26 She had suffered much under many different doctors, and had spent all she had, and was no better off but had only grown worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and she came up behind him and touched his garment. 28 For she thought, “If I but touch his clothing, I will be made well.”

     29 And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed. 30 And Jesus, knowing power had gone out from him, turned around and said, “Who touched my clothes?” 31 And his disciples said, “This crowd is pressing around you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’” 32 But he looked around to see who it was. 33 And the woman, knowing what had happened within her, came trembling and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. 34 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well! Go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”

     35 While he was still speaking, there came from the synagogue leader’s home, messengers who said, “Your daughter has died. Don’t trouble the teacher any longer. 36 But hearing, Jesus said to him, “Don’t be afraid, just believe.” 37 And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and the brothers James and John. (The three were fishermen together with at least two boats, with John and James’ father. Jesus had called the brothers “sons of thunder” which I think is a reference concerning the father.. for raising good sons and children(?)

     38 And they came to the house where people were wailing and weeping. 39 But Jesus said, “Why are you making a commotion? And doing all this weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.” 40 And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him and they went in where the child was. 41 And taking her by the hand he said, “Talitha cumi,”which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” 42 And immediately the girl got up and began walking about, for she was twelve years of age, and they were immediately overcome with amazement. 43 And he told them that none should know of it, and said to give her something to eat.

5 - This is the message we’ve heard from him and that we proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness. No darkness at all. 6 If we say we have fellowship/friendship with him while we walk in darkness, we are deceiving our self and others, and not living the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he’s in the light, we have friendship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us {releases} [katharizó - root of catharsis] from all sin [hamartia - missing the mark]. 8 If we say we have no sin {imperfection, falling short, having made mistskes, bad choices, etc} we deceive ourselves, and the truth isn’t in us. 9 If we confess our sins {agree we are imperfect/miss the mark of perfection, but which surprise! Is God’s gift to us at the Lord’s return ..first vivification is concurrent with first resurrection. Second one is separated by GWT Judgment /Full Closure ‘Day’.} And he is faithful and just to forgive us of all that {so we should too} and to cleanse us [katharizó] from all unrighteousness {all unrightness!}.10 If we say we have not fallen short, we make him a liar, and his word {message, truth, logos-logic, reasoning} is not in us.

   08/06 - GospeL Verses

1 - When they came to the other side of the sea of Galilee, to the country of the Gerasenes, 2 Jesus stepped out of the boat, and immediately, a man came out from among the tombs and met him. 3 He had an unclean spirit and lived there among the tombs. No one could keep him bound, not even with a chain. 4 For he had often been shackled and chained, but he broke the chains apart, and tore the shackles in pieces. There was no one strong enough to subdue him. 5 And night and day he wandered among the tombs and among the hills, crying out and cutting himself with stones.

     6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell down before him. 7 And crying out with a loud voice said, “What have you to do with me?! Jesus, Son of the Most High God?! I adjure you by God, don’t torment me!” {Purity consumes impurity.} 8 For Jesus was saying to him, “Come out of the man! You unclean spirit!” 9 And he asked him, “What is your name?” And he replied, “My name is Legion! For we are many!” 10 Then he begged him not to send them out of the country. 11 On the nearby hillside, a large herd of pigs was feeding, 12 and they begged him, “Send us to the pigs, and let us enter into them.”

     13 So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came rushing out and entered the pigs, and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned.

     14 The herdsmen ran and told what had happened to the people in the city and the surrounding countryside. And people came to see. 15 And when they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man who had had the legion, sitting there, clothed, and in his right mind, they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen it repeated to them what had occurred to the man and to the pigs. 17 Then out of fear, the people asked Jesus to go away and leave the region. 18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons asked him if he might go with him. 19 But Jesus said, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you. And how he has had kindness upon you.” 20 And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis, the “land of the ten cities” how much Jesus had done for him. And they all marveled.

1 John, 2 John and 3 John are letters written by the disciple/apostle John, who also wrote the “Gospel According to John” and the Book of Revelation. He’s the only one of the twelve who lived to an old age, which is when he wrote these letters and received the revelation vision. 

     1 - That which was from the beginning, which we (apostles) have heard, which we saw with our eyes, and looked upon and have touched with our hands. [After resurrection Jesus said “touch me and see that I have flesh and bones”.] The things concerning the word of life. 2 For the life was made visible [phaneróō - from phṓs - light – properly, illumine, make manifest(visible)]. And we saw it, and testify of it, and proclaim it to you, which was with the Father and was made known to us. 3 That which we have seen and heard we declare to you! So that you too may have fellowship with God along with us. For indeed our fellowship (friendship/visiting) is with the Father and with his Son Jesus. 4 And I am writing these things so the joy we all have may be complete and full.

26 - After the storm, they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is on the opposite shore from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped out onto land, there met him a man from the city who had many demons. For a long time he hadn’t lived in a house, but lived among the tombs, and he wore no clothing. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, saying in a loud voice, “What have you to do with me! Jesus, you son of the Most High God! I beg of you! Don’t torment me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles. But he would break the bonds and be driven by his demons into the wilderness. 

    30 Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for it was many demons which had entered into him. 31 And they begged him not to order them into the abyss.

     32  A large herd of pigs were feeding on a nearby hillside, so they begged him to let them enter the pigs. And so he let them, 33 and the demons came rushing out of the man and into the pigs, and the herd ran down the steep bank and into the lake and were drowned.

     34 Now when the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran and told everyone in the countryside and in the city. 35 So people went out to see what had happened, and when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at his feet, clothed and in his right mind. And it made them afraid! 36 And those who saw what had happened told them how all that had happened. 37 Then the people asked Jesus to leave, for they were under great fear. So he got into the boat and returned to the other side. 38 The man from whom the demons had gone had wanted to go with him, but Jesus said, 39 “Go home, and tell everyone how much God has done for you.” And so he went away, telling throughout the whole region what Jesus had done for him.

15 - Through him then - let us during all times, offer up a *sacrifice of praise* (a note for prophecy, esp. Dn.12:11) to God, that is, the fruit of lips that speak [homologeó - speak the same, agree upon] the name [onoma - name, authority, cause] of him. {We humans can, and are prone to, making idols of anything.. the law, his name, the sabbath.. leaders, teachings, doctrines, our own ‘knowledge’.. but it is Christ Crucified/the cross of Christ, that works and will bring us to the goal of being like him, finalized for us at his return. His cause endures.}

     16 Don’t neglect to do good {in deeds and especially attitude} and to share what you have. For such sacrifices are pleasing to God. 17 Listen to your leaders, following their lead, for they watch over your souls [psyxḗ - from psyxō - breath, wind, blow which is the root of the English words psyche, psychology, soul, psyche, a person's distinct identity, unique personhood, i.e. individual personality] as those who must give an account. To this end, allow them to lead with joy and not with grief, for of what advantage is that?

    18 Pray for us! We have a good conscience, wanting always to conduct ourselves well {with Truth and genuineness} toward all. 19 And pray too that I be restored to you the sooner!

     20 Now may the God of peace - who raised out of death our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep - by the very blood of the enduring covenant, 21 equip you with all that’s necessary that you may do his will.

     HE - working in us - that which is pleasing in his sight. Through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever, amen! 22 I encourage you, to bear with my words of encouragement [paraklésis - a calling to one's aid, i.e. encouragement, comfort] which is why I’ve written to you briefly. {Lol.} 23 You know our brother Timothy has been released! And so, with him I too shall see you, if he comes soon. 24 Greet all your elders and all the saints [hagios - holy, sacred, set apart] {believers}. And those who are in Italy send you their greetings. 25 Grace be with you all!

     22 Then on yet another day he got into a boat with his disciples, and said, “Let’s go across to the other side of the lake.” So they set out, 23 and as they were sailing he fell asleep. But a windstorm soon bore down upon them, the boat was filling with water. And they were in danger. 24 So they woke him, saying, “Master! We’re perishing!” And then he rebuked the wind and the pounding waves, and all was a calm. 25 He said to them, “Where is your faith!?” And they wondered with awe and marveled! Saying to one another, “Who is this? That he even commands the wind and the sea, and they obey him.”

8 - Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 9 Don’t be misled by different, new, and strange teachings, for what’s good for the heart is to be strengthened by grace - not by foods, what to eat and what not to eat, which doesn’t spiritually benefit those devoted to it. {Must have been a prevalent teaching/doctrine at the time.} 10 We have an altar from which those who {still} serve in the tent have no right to partake. [“Serve in the tent” - the wilderness temple, all such - temple, holy days - are an illustration of spiritual reality. The “law of Moses” was a system of rules for preserving society and character. Imperfect is entropy. It cannot make itself perfect in order to stop the entropy (a slow gehenna crucible, but(!) it was Ant Farm oR Total ‘herd’ Immunity?]

     11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy place, by the high priest, are a sacrifice for sin. {And cure, strong enough to convince and appease every psyche and conscience.} And the dead body is burned up outside the camp. 12 So Jesus also suffered outside the gate (of the city wall) in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. 13 Therefore let us go to him outside the camp (outside societal acceptance and approval - I read that in a commentary) and bear the reproach he endured. 14 For here we have no lasting city (world, kingdom) but we seek (await) the one that is to come!

How long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth?!” 11 They were each one given a white robe and told - to rest - a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers and sisters should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been. {Metaphor of a metaphor! Like the blood of Abel crying out to God. Fifth seal (element) is martyrdom, and it continues.}

     {I think it’s important to be able to see how the seals - described at the beginning of the vision - as a blend of their full and entire effects, first to very last, veils the entire vision.}

     12 When he broke open the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake! The sun became dark as sackcloth [sakkos - worn as a sign of grief]. The full moon became like blood {dark red?}. 13 All the stars of the heavens fell to earth, like, the fig tree throws out its winter fruit when shaken and - blown - by a strong wind. 14 The sky departed {rolled? “apochórizó”} like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was shaken. 15 Then the kings of earth, the great ones, the generals, the rich, the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, 16 calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us! And hide us from the face of he who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” {“..The ancient of days took his seat” Dan.7:9. “All the world’s a stage” - Shakespeare ..I think ‘wrath’ in large part, is code for cause and effect, Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4. Creation as Ant Farm versus Total ‘herd’ Immunity?}

30 - And Jesus said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God? Or what parable shall we use to explain it!

     31 It’s like a grain of mustard seed! When it’s sown in the earth, it’s the smallest of all the seeds. 32 Yet when it sprouts and grows, it becomes the tallest and biggest plant in the garden, so even the birds can come and make nests in its branches.” {Summary of the Outlines! ..In the scripture/written logos; the week plus one and within that outline, the Spring and Fall holy days - of Lev.23 - as 1st brief advent and 2nd long advent.}

     33 It was by many such parables that he taught the message to the people, as they were able to hear. 34 He didn’t speak to them without a parable, but privately, to his own disciples, he explained everything. {🤔 ..be a disciple?}

24 - Jesus continued, saying to. his disciples and followers, “Pay attention to what you hear. For with the measure you use, is the measure that will be measured to you, and still more besides. 25 For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what they have will be taken away. 26 For the kingdom of God is as if a farmer should scatter his seed upon the earth. 27 And then sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows, we know not how. 28 The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain. 29 And when the field of grain is ripe, at once the sickle is put in, because the harvest is ready.” [Mt.13:30 is Rev.16:14-15-16 and/or Mt.25:1-13(10).

25 - Be sure not to refuse the one speaking, for if they who refused to hear the divine instructions of he who warned them upon earth {upon earth, would be Noah, again.. hoW Jesus preached to those locked into judgment of the flood} and so they didn’t escape (the judgment/consequences of “every thought being only evil” - imperfection is an abyss of potential) how then will we escape if we turn away from he who is from heaven? 26 Don’t forget how his Father’s voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 27 This - “Yet once more,” shows that all that can be shaken, will be shaken and removed [metathesis - changed, transferred, removed]. Things having been made [poieó - made, done, manufactured {not true}] able to be shaken, and will be shaken, so that what cannot be shaken (truth) will remain.

Jesus said to his disciples and followers, “Do you not understand this parable?” [Of the sower.] “How then will you understand any of the parables?

     14 The sower sows the message of God.” [Logos - reasoning expressed in words, (the) message]. 15 “And the seed along the path that gets eaten up by the birds, is about those who when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that’s sown. 16 And the seed sown on rocky ground, are those who  hear the word, receive it with joy, 17 but they lack root in their selves, and endure only for a while, and when persecution” (canceling, slandering, accusing etc, to worse) “or troubles and struggles arise because of the message, they fall away. 18 And the seed sown among thorns are those who hear the word, 19 but the cares of the world, the allure of the deceitfulness of riches, and desires for other things choke the message, and it proves to be unfruitful. 20 But the seed sown on good ground are the ones who hear the word and receive it and bear fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixtyfold or even a hundredfold.”

     21 And he said, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket? Under a bed? Or on a lampstand? 22 *Nothing* is hidden except to be made known. Nor is anything - secret, except to come to light. 23 Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear!”

15 - See to it that none fail to obtain the grace of God, so no sort of bitterness will spring up and cause trouble. For by it many can become corrupted. 16 No one should be sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal! 17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he couldn’t, for he found no chance to change the past, though he looked for it with tears. {“The” blessing had been given to another, couldn’t be now taken back.}

     18 But you (under the New Testament agreement/contract that is signed in blood - because it has to reach eveRy psyche) you have not come to a mountain that cannot be touched for it is burning with fiery flames, to darkness, gloom and stormy tempest, 19 with the sound of a trumpet and a voice and words that made the listeners beg that no further word be spoken to them. 20 For they couldn’t endure it, “If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.” {Thermonuclear type contagion?} 21 Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that even Moses said, “I am in terrible fear!” 22 But you - You have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and myriads of angels. 23 To the festal gathering and assembly/crowd of the firstborn being enrolled in heaven, and to God judge of all and all the  spirits of the righteous being perfected, 24 and to Jesus, mediator of the new covenant, and the sprinkled blood that speaks a better message than the blood of Abel. {Which cried out to God.. for response, as it should. Which is the first truth proving covenant, that brought us to court. But the cross pardons - paid in full. Yet we learn the crime was not acceptable, can never work. ..Paradise/perfection, and humanity, God’s family, is being built to endure. And imperfection is entropy, a living crucible.}

MARK 4 1-12

     07/30 - GospeL Verses

1 - Jesus was teaching beside the sea and a very large crowd had gathered around him, so he got into a boat that was anchored there, and he sat while the crowd was there beside the sea. 2 And as usual he was teaching them using parables. 3 “Listen” he said, “a sower went out scattering seed. 4 And as he scattered, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate up the seeds. 5 Some other seed fell on rocky ground, where there wasn’t much soil, and it quickly sprang up. 6 But when the sun rose, it dried up and withered because it had no roots for moisture. 7 Still some other seed fell among thorns and thistles, which grew and choked them out, and so there was no grain. 8 But some other seed fell into good soil and it grew and produced grain, growing tall and increasing, and yielded thirtyfold, sixtyfold and even a hundredfold.” 9 And he said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear!” {Absorb.. take in the seed.. be good soil. ..Light, water, nurturance/fertilizer! Bread for the soul-Greek word psyche.}

     10 Later, when he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him the meaning of the parable. 11 And he said, “To you it’s been given to understand the mystery of the kingdom of God, but for others it’s all in parable, 12 so that (quote) ‘seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing, they may hear, but not understand, lest ever  [pote - from the base of pou and te - at what time, how long, when] they should turn and be forgiven.’” - [Turn - epistrephó - turn, return, from epi - on, upon, and strephó - to turn, to change; come to myself.] {Lest when..(?) Verse quoted is Isaiah 6:9 - and one of the cross references to it is -  “BRING OUT a people who have eyes but are blind, and who have ears but are deaf” Isaiah 43:8.

     So 1Tim.4:10, Jn.12:32, occur/continues During “the Last Great Day” Jn.12:37. An “8th ‘day’” millennium, otherwise when does all of Rev.20 occur? Note: Rev.22 has narrative in it that is spoken outside of the vision.. Shakespeare said “all of life is a stage” “..and the Ancient of Days took his seat..” Dan.7:9.

     Also later at GWT ‘day’ of Judgment/Discernment/Closure. Creation choices were Ant Farm or Total Herd Immunity? Iron RuLe - God iS life, and “is perfect” so imperfect is this entropy. A crucible and process that “doesn’t quit”. So the remedy was “built in from the foundation/beginning”.

     “BRING OUT a people who have eyes but are blind, and who have ears but are deaf” Isaiah 43:8. ..Then what? Remember, God “is Love” and surely he is 100% unfettered Genius. Or are we puny humans able to envision something greater and better than what he can do?}

THE BiG BaNG and Prophecy

     The very big bang was into the universe as is. Then it was set in motion.. A reflection of Life/Perfection, and a first pair, no option to stray would be an ant farm.. Thus this imperfection/entropy, which “doesn’t quit”! So “God is savior..” 1Tim.4:10.

     Outline of it: the week plus one.

Rev.20 is during the “8th ‘day’”.

Six ‘days’ of letting things run course.

     Original dna was not narrowed, so first sisters and brothers could wed. Imperfection is an abyss of potential. Pre-flood was hands off. Even cannibaalism was rampant? There is a rainbow in every drop of water, God’s promissory note.

     Empires of biblical prophecy - Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome -> to west and not west (“iron and clay”).

     After “Christ Crucified” was the fiery fall of 70 CE.. Phoenix (and white horse) to Europe (Rev.12, middle of three tellings of the revelation vision). And wars (red horse) on earth reflecting angel and demon warfare.. Rage of angels as inquisitions.. Then Magna Charter and phoenix given (long distance) wings (Rev.12:14) to escape, crawling out from under kings and empire - “the new world”. Liberty has wings and creativity, but also spirit enemies, and all things are infiltrated, even highjacked. All things change and grow. From enterprise to $ity Babylon sitting on seven hills/continents. Portrayed as an alluring woman, which rides the many headed geopolitical beast/entity/institution of today (Rev.13:1 w/ Dan.7:7,19 and see 2:36-45, the bronze and iron as foundations of it) “risen from the sea” of humanity in response to the pale horse riding.. but then expired after all. But then was rebuilt after Rev.13:13 - red horse still riding was given a long sword - which event pinpointed an office.

     The elements of the age (“seals”) being described at their beginning, as their full effects, first to very last, veils the revelation vision. A kind of swirl of all their effects.

     Like the blood of Abel called out from Earth to God, so with all..

     After 13:13 (first seal six event) all quiet, on the western front. Waiting for trumpets to sound (Rev.7:1,3;9,4; Mt.23:39). Liberty’s wings are being clipped, divide and conquer.. Coming - an interruption of all being quiet on the western front, 13:13 occurring again? But then shall be(?) again all quiet under Rev.13:1.. peace. But alas for only seven years and at about the middle, the Hebrew sacred place is taken away and removed. Then, count the days of Daniel, chapter 12, verses 11 and 12, wiTh Luke 19:41,44 and 1 Corinthians 3:16. What is the last 45 days? With an escalation? Rev.2:10.

     Meanwhile, and finally, the huge many headed beast rides the woman. The $ity. “Fallen! Fallen!” “She is fallen!” Rev.17:12,16.

     The grapes of wrath ..sour grapes will gather/be gathered to a bonfire when armies of the world surround the promised land (Rev.16:14-15-16 -> Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4) - But, verse 15 (of 16:14-15-16) being the door directly into Christ’s long second advent, full scope version of his first so brief one, but with helpers serving, called reigning (Mt.25:1-13(10). “Crowns of Life” not metal/empire..

     Then is the seventh ‘day’/millennium, a Sabbath rest from the red horse of enmity. And then is released at 8th day’s beginning.. it goes forth and gathers the descendants of mortal survivors of the apocalypse to again make war. (Survived the manmade apocalypse - we have his number! Made of carbon which has six each, of protons, neutrons and electrons - one race to ‘blame’ accuse/divide, the human race.) This time the fire comes directly from heaven.. And thus at the fiery final defeat of the adversary&co, is a second mention of a lake of fire - first was at Armageddon battle (Is.24:20/Rev.10:4).

     An outline within the “week plus one” outline, is the ancient Hebrew holy days, Spring and Fall (of Leviticus 23). They represent the 1st and 2nd advents of Jesus.

     First advent - Passover to Firstfruits then also Pentecost.

     Second advent - Trumpets (of Rev, and return at the 7th) then “10days”/1000yrs to ‘DAY’ OF ATONEMENT - DOA for the initially doa - the initiaL condition of some (few?) as the inner, outside of the Light darkness and gnashing of teeth as portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable, and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22. GWT Judgment ‘Day’ - judgments are in the heart. (Every drop of water has a rainbow in it. Jn.12:32)

     And so there is “5days”/500yrs to Tabernacles! The fiery (3rd mention of a lake of fire, elements melting - 2Pet.3:12,13 at the) “palin/again-genesis” - The “new heavens and new earth” of Revelation 21, one through 5, when God says “Behold! I make all (greek pas) new!”

     “The lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow” Is.11:7. And “HiS kingdom will never end” Luke 1:33.

      Ant Farm versus Total ‘Herd’ Immunity. God is Life, and “is Perfect” Mt.5:48, and is 100% unfettered Genius - Is.45:23, his “oath”. This unavoidable, all important contrast - an entropic crucible - is a ‘parable’ of the (imperfect, thus) decomposing ‘apple’ and its worm, the decomposing, which doesn’t quit, Mark 9:44. The gehenna that sparks into red horses riding.. Turns out big bang is a pun, and angels gone rogue, an accelerant. But every drop of water has its rainbow.
