ENTER THE STORY - A NEW TESTAMENT READING SCHEDULE

~ * ~ ~*~ ~ * ~ ~*~ ~ * ~ ~*~ 

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)

7 - John {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!”}

     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.”

06/30 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

4 - Think of how great this man was to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils! [From Abraham’s “battle against the kings” with a small band of about 300 men to rescue his nephew Lot from being in captivity to four Mesopotamian kings.] 5 And those descendants of Levi [from whose line were the civil servants, at first the tabernacle, and later the temple, literal center of the twelve tribe nation] 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. [Abraham met him coming back from the rescue of Lot, he was “Priest of Salem” (which means peace) and 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, paid tithes to Melchizedek through Abraham, 10 when they met.

Revelation 5 7-14

 BooK of Revelation

                a paraphrased study                

7 - And the lamb as slain went and took the scroll from the right hand of he who was seated on the throne. 8 And just then, when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and you ransomed [agorazó - bought, purchased, redeemed] to God by your blood out of every tribe, language, people and nation, 10 and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign upon the earth.” 11 Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth, wisdom and might, honor and glory and blessing!” 13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!” 14 And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

    {I was thinking Jesus went not long after ascension to Revelation, chapter five. But every creature from everywhere praising sounds like an after GWT Judgment ‘Day’ condition.. Unless it’s deep down psychologically in every heart.. We do all know don’t we? No true atheists, not really. We play games with ourselves.. Maybe that’s one reason why Father God loves a good riddle.. hiding things in plain sight. And is why scoffers can so sometimes bitterly scoff, because deep down knowing he is Father, and is waiting patiently and lovingly for prodigal son or daughter. Prodigal is differing with God in any way, thought, word or deed.. because he is Life and he “is perfect” Mt.5:48.

     So maybe it’s not so soon after ascension.. but is the opening of the scroll (we know that because it says so).. we could say is right now as we study, should we be so blessed as to understand, yes? Rev.20 is like describing the crests of waves, and not much of the in between. I’m reminded of that because the elders falling before the throne seems like waves. As does the singing and all speaking together as one crescendoing voice.

     The scroll is the vision. It begins with the breaking open of the seals from off the scroll.. and out come elements of the years of our Lord, CE. All, like the horsemen, riding throughout the age, to the ‘end’ of the vision (Greek word tel, telos, which means end-aim) which end of the vision is to all everywhere understanding..(In Rev.22, there is narrative that is spoken outside of the vision, and like the rich man and Lazarus parable, portrays initial inner conditions of some during GWT Judgment ‘Day’.) “Every tongue will swear allegiance [shaba - take an oath, “take a seven”, swear allegiance] to me”  - That’s an oath God made, recorded in Isaiah 45:23. Took an oath to us. And we shall all take a heartfelt oath of allegiance to Him.. And why the heck wouldn’t we?!!! I think there will be a universal moment of awed silence.. as to what God has done.. And then a rising chorus of resounding universal praise.}

     06/30 - GospeL Verses

(Mark was not a disciple, he may have seen and heard Jesus at a young age? He became helper and secretary to Paul and others, and traveled some with Paul and company. His gospel account is thought to be the earliest and some 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/written logos aNd logos personified.} 2 As it’s written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold, I send my messenger before 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 John appeared, 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]. {Being baptized agrees to/confesses we are flawed and have missed the mark of perfection. It’s not that God has so terribly high and impossible a standard - which we cannot currently fulfill, but God iS life, and, he “is Perfect” Mt.5:48, so imperfect is entropy which “does not quit” aka fading away, which matures and results in gone, not seen, death. But no option to stray in Eden and creation would have to be only an Ant Farm, so “God is savior of all” - 1Tim.4:10.}

     6 Now John 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 untie. 8 I have baptized you with water. But he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God}.

19 - We have all this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul. A hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, 20 where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the priestly order of Melchizedek. 7 For Melchizedek, king of Salem [of peace] priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of (battle of defense from three) kings and blessed him, 2 and to him Abraham tithed a tenth. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace. 3 He is {seems} without father or mother or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God, continues as a priest forever.

Make his paths straight! 5 For every valley will be filled! And every mountain and hill will be made low! The crooked shall become straight! The rough places shall become level, 6 and all will see the salvation of God!’”

12 - In this way not to be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 13 When God made a promise to Abraham, there’s no one greater by whom to swear, so he swore by his own self and his own name, 14 saying, “Surely - I will bless you, and multiply you.” 15 And so Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise. 16 For people swear by something greater than theirself, and in all their disputes an oath is final. 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. 18 And so by these two unchangeable things, it’s impossible for God to lie, and having fled to him for refuge, we have strong encouragement, to hold fast to the hope set before us. {He also made the oath “I have sworn by my own name, I have spoken the truth, and I will never go back on my word. Every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will declare allegiance [shaba - take an oath, “take a seven”, swear allegiance] to me” Isaiah 45:23.] {Only rational as he is Life, and source of all good things.}

     41 His parents, Mary and Joseph went to Jerusalem every year for the Feast of Passover. 42 And in his twelfth year, they went up according to their habit. 43 But when the feast was ended, and they were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem and they didn’t know it. 44 But supposing him to be in the group they went a day's journey, and then 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. Be was sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 And when Joseph and Mary saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.” 49 And 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 was saying. 51 And he went with them, to his hometown of Nazareth, and was obedient to them.

7 - The thing is, land that has drank in the rain that falls upon it, and produces a crop useful to those for whom it’s cultivated, receives the blessing from God. 8 But if it bears thorns and thistles, it’s not useful for cultivation and is cursed, and its ‘end’ is to be burned. {See!? This is not an eternal fire! It - never - is. Worse case scenario would be a temporary ‘burning’ - but! Surely that can only be spiritual! Except in the case of fiery wars, fiery judgments. Cause and effect as judgment. Which is in line with the three mentions of lake of fire being at huge fiery events.. First one at armageddon battle. Which surely is not all that surprising. And this imperfection is entropy, which is surely a crucible!? ..We gather weeds to a bonfire. And we burn off a field and it grows back greener.}

     9 Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things, things that belong to the saving way! 10 For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you’ve shown for his name, in serving his people {feeding his sheep; wholesome nourishment; passing on the message} as you still do. 11 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance [plérophoria - full assurance, complete certainty, full conviction] of hope [elpis - expectation!] {certainty of expectation} until the ‘end’ [telos - the end aim]. (From commentary — like the old pirate’s tel-escope.. things progress - prophecy is fulfilled - in scopes, until reaching full scope, and end-aim.) {The advents? ‘Smaller’ pond ripple, to full pond ripple.}

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.

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.

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.

       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.

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.

   (In the Order Believed Written)

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.

   (In the Order Believed Written)

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.

1 - In those days Caesar Augustus sent out a decree that all the world should be registered. 2 This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be registered, each to their own town. 4 So Joseph went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David. 5 He went to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.

     6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger (feeding trough) because there was no room for them in the inn.

(Oops, I did today’s reading yesterday.) 8 - For if Joshua [(righteous) leader after Moses] had led them to rest, God wouldn’t have spoken of another day of rest later. 9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.10 And whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from their works as God did from his. {We’re not trying to earn God’s enduring Life, called eternal Life, It’s a gift ..”We’re the big door prize” John Prine (from the song “In Spite of Ourselves”.. We are whole burnt offerings on God’s altar.. So to speak.}

     11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so no one will fall {short} by the same sort of carelessness. {Being in God’s rest - sheltering under the wing of the almighty - dwelling in the realization of Him - is christian spiritual stability?}
