   No option to stray in Eden = Ant Farm

BiG banG — > universe — > then set in motion

for “8 days”/millennia. Lev.23 is the advents.

    “In the beginning God..” and the only straight out from God one, the Son, “forever first”/proto. Father & Son being so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence.

   The being worked out blueprint - Father’s Presence will saturate, thus “seal” all creation, all mankind - Jesus is the prototype - all angelkind, animalkind, singing bird kind, &tc. “The cow will graze with the bear, their young will pasture and lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox” Isaiah 11:7. [Summed up in 1Timothy 4:10 and Luke 1:37.] Mt.13:30 is Rev.16:14-15-16 & Mt.25:1-13; Rev.20 tells crests only; seal description veils the seals & vision; vision is told 3 times; 13:13 is the seal6 1st event showing an office; 1Cor.15:22-28 w/ Mt.13:33, key word 3! (1Pet.3:19 -> 2Pet.2:5); it’s Dan.12:11-12 w/ Lk.19:41,44 and 1Cor.3:16! W/ last “10 days” escalation, Rev.2:10, then Is.24:20/Rev.10:4.

All, in translation, was changed to all things.

Jesus said he “will draw all” Jn.12:32.

ACTS 6 1-15

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

ACTS 6 1-15 

Book of the Acts of the First Believers

1 - In those  days when the disciples were growing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists (greek believers) arose against the Hebrew believers for they said their widows were being neglected in the helpful sharings.

     2 So the twelve called together all the disciples and said, 3 “Pick out from among yourselves seven men of good reputation, who are full of the Spirit of God and wisdom. And appoint them to this duty. 4 And then we apostles can continue to focus on prayer and proclaiming the message [logos]. 5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering.

     The men they chose were Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a convert of Antioch. 6 And they brought them to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.

     7 And so the word of God continued to spread, and the number of disciples greatly increased in Jerusalem. Even a great many of the priests became followers. 8 And Stephen, who was full of grace and God’s Spirit(/Presence), was doing wonderful signs and wonders among the people.

     9 But some of those who belonged to the Freedmen [Libertinos - a latin word, freedman, libertines] as they’re called, made up of Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and some from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and argued with Stephen. 10 They were unable to refute the spirit and wisdom with which he spoke, 11 so instead they secretly plotted.

     They rounded up and persuaded some of ill character to come forward and proclaim accusations, “We’ve heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God!” they said.

     12 And they agitated the people, and the elders and the scribes, and then they came upon him and seized him and brought him to court and before the council, 13 and they set up false witnesses. 

     The false witnesses claimed, “This man never ceases to speak words against this holy place and the law, 14 for we’ve heard him say this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and the customs that Moses delivered to us.” 15 And looking at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face was radiant like the face of an angel!

Hebrews 11:17-21 Luke 7:11-23 and ACTS 6:1-15 separately

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 11:17-21

17 - By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son! 18 Of whom it was said, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 19 He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, so to speak, he did receive him back.

     20 By faith Isaac proclaimed future blessings upon Jacob and Esau. 21 And by faith Jacob (later named Israel) when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head of his staff.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 7:11-23

11 - A little later Jesus was going to a town called Nain. His disciples and a great crowd were with him, 12 and as they drew near to the gate of the town, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow.

     A considerable number of people from the town were with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, he felt very sad for her, and said to her, “Don’t weep.”

     14 Then he came up and touched the bier, as the bearers stopped and stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, rise.”

     15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus returned him to his mother. 16 Great amazement seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen among us!” and “God has visited his people!”

     17 This report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country, 18 and the disciples of John reported all these things to John. And he, 19 calling two of his disciples, sent them to the Lord, to ask, “Are you the one who is to come? Or shall we look for another?” 20 And so the men went to him, and said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?’”

     21 In that same hour he healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and many who were blind he gave sight to. 22 And so he answered the disciples of John, “Go and tell John what you’ve seen and heard - the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up. The poor have good news preached to them. 23 And blessed are those not scandalized [skandalizó - offended]  by me.”

Hebrews 11:14-16  Luke 7:1-10

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 11:14-16

14 - For people who talk like this  (being strangers and pilgrims, not identified with the pre and post Christendom “world”) make it clear they’re seeking a homeland.

     15 If they had been thinking of the land from which they had come out of, they would have looked for the opportunity to go back. {“Remember Lot’s wife.”} 16 But as it is, they want a better country! That is, a heavenly {blessed, perfect} one.

     Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city. {An enduring kingdom. Enduring because Perfect, because God iS Life and “is Perfect” - this is the first, foremost, and sole prime reality and law which is like unbreakable iron.. the iron rod/measuring rod by which Christ will rule the nations. God is a “consuming fire” of purity and light. Purity consumes impurity and Light consumes darkness. Life consumes death, a good trade.}

            🌙 P.M. Luke 7:1-10

1 - After this, Jesus entered Capernaum. 2 And a Roman centurion had a servant, highly valued by him, who was sick. He was at the very point of death. 3 And when the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Hebrews (Jews) asking him to come and heal his servant/worker.

     4 And when they came to Jesus, they asked him, and said, “He’s worthy for this, 5 for he loves our nation, and he even built our synagogue.”

     6 Jesus went with them, and when they were on the way, the centurion sent friends, saying, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself! For I’m not worthy to have you come under my roof. 7 Therefore I didn’t presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed. 8 For I too, am a man under authority, with soldiers under me, and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes. And to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes. To my worker, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

     9 When Jesus heard this, he marveled, and turning to the crowd following him, said, “I tell you, not even in all Israel have I found such faith!” {And He received the sincere motive and offered no criticism.} 10 And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.

Hebrews 11:11-13  Luke 6:39-49

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 11:11-13

11 - By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the uncountable grains of sand by the seashore. {…That’s a lot. “The seed” - “is Jesus” Galatians 3:16.}

    13 These all died in faith, not having received the promise, but they saw it from afar, and considered that they were strangers and pilgrims upon the earth.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 6:39-49

39 - Jesus began with a parable “Can a blind person lead a blind person? Won’t they both fall into a ditch? 40 A disciple isn’t above their teacher, but everyone when fully trained will be like the teacher. 41 But why do you see the speck that’s in someone else’s eye? And don’t notice the log in your own eye?

     42 How can you say, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself aren’t seeing the log in your own eye? Hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, then you might see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

     43 A good tree isn’t going to bear bad fruit, nor will a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 Each tree is known by its own fruit. Figs aren’t gathered from thorn bushes. And you can’t pick grapes from the brambles.

     45 A person produces and speaks out of what’s in their heart. Good treasure in the heart will produce good. But evil [poneros - bad, grievous] {notGood} treasure of heart produces evil [poneros].

     46 Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do what I tell you? 47 Everyone who comes to me, hears my words, and does them, 48 I’ll tell you what they’re like - they’re like someone building a house, who dug deep, and laid their foundation on the rock. And when a flood rose, the stream broke against the house and couldn’t shake it, because it had been solidly built.

     49 But the one who hears my words, and doesn’t do them, is like someone who built a house on the ground without a foundation. And when the river breaks against it, it falls apart. And the ruin of the house is great.” {Individual and collective.}

Hebrews 11:8-10  Luke 6:30-38

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 11:8-10

8 - By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to leave home and go out to a place that he was to be given as an inheritance. And he went, not knowing where he was going. 9 Yes, it was by faith that he went to live in the land promised, in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city {and kingdom} which foundations were designed and built by God.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 6:30-38

30 “Give to everyone who asks from you, and from one who takes away your goods, don’t demand them back.” {This has nothing to do with human government redistributing.. or even supplying! As once it supplies all, it owns all, which doesn’t work out well for the people.} 

     31 “Treat others how you want others to treat you. 32 If you love only those who love you, of what benefit to you {your spirit} is that? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners [‘hamartians’ - {the still} missing the mark] do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive back, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back from them.

     35 But love your enemies! Do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. And your reward will be great, and you will be sons and daughters of the Most High. For he is kind to the ungrateful and to the evil [poneros - wicked, bad, malicious {even} evil]. 36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.” {He made the psyche.. all will come out in the wash.}

     37 “Don’t judge [krinó - judge, decide, pass nudgment, determine, try, condemn {accuse? label?] others, and you won’t be judged.” {Accused, slandered, labeled.} “Don’t condemn others, and you won’t be condemned. If you forgive others” {their missing the mark}, “you’ll be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you, in good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will it be given to you! For with the measure you use {for Good or for notGood} so shall it be measured - back - to you.”

Hebrews 11:7  Luke 6:17-29

          ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 11:7

7 - By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. (It took many decades to build, Gen.5:32,6:6.) And by this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes {and is received} by faith. {Noah was a preacher of righteousness” 2Pet.2:5 .. Jesus “went via the Spirit? while the ark was being prepared/built” 1Pet.3:19. Before then, was hands off and first proof? Note: death is a sleep, Jn.5:28-29.}

            🌙 P.M. Luke 6:17-29

17 - After being up on the mountain, praying during the night, Jesus came down into a great crowd of people who were from all Judea and Jerusalem, and as far as the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon. 18 They came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses and diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were also healed. 19 And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.

     20 As he looked out over the crowd, he said to them, “Blessed are you who are poor! For yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who are hungry now! For you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now! For you will laugh! 22 Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you, insult you, and spurn your name as evil on account of the Son of Man! 23 Rejoice at those times, and leap for joy! For behold, your reward is great {stored} in heaven. And so was it done to the prophets!

     24 But woe to you who are rich, for you’re receiving your solace. 25 Woe to you who’re full now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh {in supposed victory} now, for you shall mourn and weep. 26 Woe to you, when all people speak well of you! For so they did with the false prophets.

     27 But I say to you who hear - Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. 28 Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who abuse you.

     29 If someone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other as well. And from one who takes away your coat, give them your shirt also.”

Hebrews 11:1-6  Luke 6:12-16 Mark 3:13-19

          ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 11:1-6

1 - Now faith - is the assurance of what is hoped for [elpizó - hope, trust, expect] the conviction [élegxos - inner persuasion] of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was [aions were] created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things not seen.

     4 By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And - through his faith - though he died, he still speaks. 5 By faith Enoch was taken up [metatithemi - changed, removed, translated, transfered] so not [mé - not, lest] he should see death, and he wasn’t found, because God had taken [metatithemi - changed, removed, translated, transfered] him for he was commended by and pleasing to God. 6 And without faith it’s not possible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists! And believe he rewards those who look for him. [Misthapodótēs - from misthos - reward, and apodídōmi - give from, properly, someone paying what is due].

            🌙 P.M. Luke 6:12-16 Mark 3:13-19

12 - In those days Jesus went to the mountain to pray, and continued in prayer all night. 13 When day came, he called those disciples following him [mathétés - disciples, learners, pupils] and chose twelve, whom he named apostles [apostolos - messenger, delegate] - 14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew; 15 Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot; 16 Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

     17 And he came down and stood on a flat place with them, and with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, 18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And those troubled with oppressive spirits were cured. 19 And all the people sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.

    MARK 3:13 - And he went up on the mountain and called to him twelve, and they went up. 14 And he appointed them and called them apostles, so they would be with him going where he went and staying where he stayed. And that he might send them out to preach [kérussó - to proclaim, preach, herald] 15 and have authority to cast out demons. 16 He appointed the twelve: Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter, 17 James and John, sons of Zebedee and called them Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder! 18 Andrew and Philip, Bartholomew and Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus,  Thaddaeus (Judas, son of James), Simon the Zealot, 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
