8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [[ref] {{thots}

         ༺☀️༻ 1 Corinthians 7:8-23

(Practical matters, continued) 8 - To the unmarried and widows I think it’s good for them to remain single, as I (Paul) am. 9 But if they haven’t self-control, they should marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.

     10 To the married I give this charge, not I, but the Lord, the wife shouldn’t separate from her husband 11 but if she does, she should remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband, and the husband should not divorce his wife.

     12 To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to remain with him, he should not divorce her. 13 If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he’s happy to remain with her, she should not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband will be influenced by his wife, and the unbelieving wife will be influenced by her husband. Otherwise your children would be unduly influenced, but as it is, they will be influenced by you. 15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not bound. God has called you to peace. 16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will deliver to Jesus your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will deliver to Jesus your wife? {Marriage and family.. Israel - like any other would have - went with the nations/world, so family? Cultural structure? Unwantd children. Canaanite-baalism, ps.106:37,38. Ps.106, seven fallings? progressed? seven warnings?}

     17 Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to them, and to which God has called them, a good rule in all the churches. 18 Was anyone at the time of his call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the circumcision. Was anyone at the time of his call uncircumcised? Let him not seek to be circumcised. 19 For neither (the physical) circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the instructions of God.

     {{Note: circumcision was on “the 8th day”. It represents the spiritual circumcision of the heart ..no longer self as first and foremost, etc - The collective circumcision of mankind (and angelkind?) will be completed during the 8th millennium of this creation - see if I’m wrong -> Rev.20. But the chapter is like describing the crests of waves and not much of the in between. ..It was a biG bang into the universe as is, then, was set in motion with two outlines running - the week plus one. And within that outline (wheel within a wheel) the ancient holy days of Leviticus 23 as representing Jesus’ two advents.}}

     20 Each one should remain in the condition in which they were called. 21 Were you a bondservant when called? Don’t be concerned about it. But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity. [It was a money or land lending system.] 22 For the one who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is free in the Lord! Likewise the one who was free when called is a bondservant of Christ. 23 You were bought with a price. It’s better not to become bondservants of men.

           ༺☾🌟𖤓༻ Luke 22:7-16

{By interview? Luke was a Greek doctor, not an original disciple. It was Paul Luke met later.} 7 - Then came the days of unleavened (bread) when it was time for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed. {This is an important and crucial lesson - expressed as in a drama. The sacrifice hAd to be. Is it possible that anything less dramatic could reach “aLL” - could appease every conscience, including of the most cruel despots, etc?} [The days: Passover, a “preparation” day, for the meal on First Day of Unleavened Bread, which is the next day (but the days of course begin at sunset instead of at midnight).]

     8 And so Jesus sent Peter and John ahead saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it.” {I think it was common for some to eat the meal on Passover? Instead of like the first one in Exodus, after sunset which is then 1st Day of Unleavened Bread. All these things veil how perfectly his first brief advent fulfilled the Spring holy days - Lev.23.}

     9 They said to him, “Where will you have us prepare it?” 10 He said, “When you have entered the city, a man carrying a clay jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house he goes into, 11 and tell the master of the house, ‘The teacher asks, where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 And he’ll show you a large upper room that’s furnished. Prepare there.” 13 And they went and found it just as he had said, and they prepared the Passover.

     14 And later at the time to recline, the apostles were with him. 15 And he said, “I have wanted to eat this Passover with you, before my suffering. 16 For I tell you I will not eat of it again, until it’s fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [[ref] {{thots}

          ༺☀️༻ 1 Corinthians 7:1-7

1 - Now about the questions about which you wrote to me: I (Paul) think it’s good for a man to remain single, rather than to marry. 2 But in the world there is the temptation to immorality. [Porneia - fornication (sexual relations between people who are not married to each other - The Amer. Heritage Dictionary). From pernaō - to sell off, properly, a selling off (surrendering) of sexual purity.] So each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

     3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Likewise the wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. 5 Don’t deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer, but then come together again, so Satan may not tempt you to a lack of self control, and you fall prey to unfaithfulness.

     6 Now this is only advice, but I will say, 7 I wish all were as I am. But all have their own blessing from God, some one way and others the other way..

           ༺☾🌟𖤓༻ MARK 14:10-16

10 - Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the leaders, the chief priests, in order to betray Jesus to them. 11 And when they heard it, they were glad and promised to give him money. So he then looked for an opportunity to betray him.

     12 And it was the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb [referring to the whole week of Spring holy days, which was called interchangeably, as were the days - Passover and 1st Day of Unleavened Bread. First Day of Unleavened Bread is the actual feast/meal day - remember the days began (begin?) at sunset rather than at midnight. The Passover lamb is sacrificed on Passover, and later, in the dark, after sunset, 1st Day of Unleavened Bread having begun, the meal was eaten, as in the original first Passover in Egypt.]

     His disciples asked him, “Where should we go to prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 13 So he sent two of the disciples on ahead, saying to them, “Go into the city, where you’ll see a man carrying a jar of water. Follow him, 14 and wherever he goes, say to the master of that house, ‘The Teacher says, where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 And he will show you a large upper room which is furnished and ready, there make ready for us.” 16 And the disciples set out and went to the city and found it just as he had told them, and they made ready (for) the Passover. [“The” - commentary - in Hebrew, the word for "the" is ה (he), which functions similarly to "le" and "la" in French, indicating gender and definiteness. It is used as a prefix attached to nouns.]

REVELATION - 10 8-11

 A reading & study, verses R paraphrased, Book of Revelation. in a year [  ] references {  } thots

8 - Then the voice that I [John] had heard from heaven spoke to me again, “Go and take the open {meant to be understood?} scroll from the hand of the angel who’s standing upon sea and land.”

     9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. And he said, “Take and eat it.” [Katesthíō - from katá - down, and esthíō - eat all the way down.] “It will turn your stomach sour {it’s a bitter cup} “but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.” [From ‘Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary’ - “when this book of prophecy was thoroughly digested by the apostle, the contents would be bitter”.]

     {The little scroll, prophecy, highlighted like this, shows its importance. Prophecy puts the jigsaw pieces together. The consummation, the full and mature fruit, consequences, results, tells the whole story. Straying cannot work. God is Life, the life force, and he “is perfect”. Also, self first and the extreme, dog eat dog, cannot work. Life as we presently know it is a living ‘parable’ and an unavoidable, all important contrast. ..An ant farm is no paradise.. Isaiah 45:23 - “I - God - have sworn by my own name [there is none higher to swear an oath to]. 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 to me.” [“Swear allegiance” - shaba - to seven oneself, i.e. swear as oath, as if by repeating a declaration seven times (the Hebraic.] {Surely “all” will joyfully swear allegiance.. And I think that’s an understatement.}

     10 So I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and I ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth but when I had eaten it, my stomach became sour. 11 Then I was told, “You must prophesy more about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.” {Truth during this contrast is both sweet and bitter?}

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [[ref] {{thots}

        ༺☀️༻ 1 CORINTHIANS 6:14-20

14 - God raised Jesus. And he will also raise us up by his (same) power. 15 We are all the parts of the {spiritual, very real} body of Christ! Should I then take a body part of Christ and make it members of a prostitute? Never! {Corinthians was a big city which beliefs and practices included temple prostitutes.}

     16 Or don’t you know that anyone joined to a prostitute has become one with her? {To Father Creator, no throwaway lovemaking, but soul mate.. children.. grandma and grandpa, uncles, aunts, cousins.. tribe.. humanity with its beautifuL branches. ..But how do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? ..An ant farm is no paradise.}

     For you see, it’s written, “The two become one.” 17 And to be joined to the LORD is to be one in spirit with him.

     18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside of the body. But the sexually immoral person sins against their own body. 19 Don’t you know your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, whom you have from God? {God’s Spirit/Presence. The Holy Ghost!} We’re not our own! 20 We were bought with a price. We are meant to bodily glorify God. {Destiny. One boat. All are in it. All going to the same place/condition - Rev.21:1-5, Isaiah 11:7.}

           ༺☾🌟𖤓༻ Luke 22:3-6

3 - Then Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, who was one of Jesus’ twelve disciples. 4 And he sought out the leaders - the chief priests and their officers {more political than spiritual/religious} - and offered to betray Jesus to them. 5 They were happy to hear that and to pay him for it. 6 So he agreed, and then he looked for a way to betray Jesus when he wasn’t among a crowd of people.

11-05 - John 12 37-50 1Cor 6 9-13

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year, Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [[ref] {{thots}

          ༺☀️༻ 1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-13

Verse 9 - You do realize unrighteousness and injustice cannot {yet} be inheriting the kingdom of God? Don’t be misled, anyone being sexually immoral, or an idolater, adulterer, practicing homosexual, 10 nor thieves, greedy, nor drunkards, nor agitators, or swindlers are (yet) inheriting {receiving} the kingdom of God!

     {{Same for backbiters, argumentative, slandering God, polluting God’s human temples ..with bad doctrine/unTruth, 1Cor.3:16(10-17)} But God LOVES “all”. ..It’s possible He could be a bit angry and indignant at cruel and heartless despots, yes? ..child traffickers, what so many just don’t get? - Either the Greek or the Old Testament Hebrew word for anger means “smoke out the nostril”😮 - until theY judge theirself.. Can we imagine, eventually, during GWT judgment {kolasis/correction} ‘day’ [aion] the gut wrenching remorse of a despot or seller of children as labor slaves or worse? ..The beating theirself up “with many stripes”. Of course that’s progress after the initial, inner, outside of the Light darkness.. the gnashing of teeth ..Surely there will be closure for victims.. And closure for all and all things “on that day”! And finally, even the worst of the worst realize Christ Crucified! Their weeping can end, their guilty conscience appeased, and at rest. {Um, more weeping, I’m sure, but not the gnashing of teeth weeping, but the cleansing of the heart weeping, which will let in fresh streams of life and rays of light. We’re all going to enter the household/family of God. He “is (after all) Perfect” how could we ever doubt? We can trust him, and take the upper road of his instructions. We’re not perfect! HE makes us perfect at resurrection. 1st resurrection. To rise in the 2nd one, which is after Satan&Co/accelerator is released and goes out and gathers another armageddon. Who does he gather? Surely there’s only one answer? Descendents of mortal survivors of apocalypse and Armageddon-1. (The 2nd resurrection is separated from its “putting on of perfection and {thus} immortality” by the (great white throne) GWT ‘Day’ (aion) —  “And the Ancient of Days took His seat” Dan.7:9. “All the world’s a stage” - Shakespeare).

     That is, the second resurrection and the being made “all new” is separated by the GWT “aionion kolasis” - eonian korrection / age of correction. ..The root word of logic is Logos. This is the ‘grape harvest’ as opposed to “the wheat at his coming”. From “grapes of wrath” (cause & effects, results) at armageddon (one of 3 mentions of a lake of fire at a huge, fiery event), to joyful, overflowing grape harvest! 1Cor.15:22-28 w/ Mt.13:33, key word 3. [Rev.21:5 =‘s “all”. The word “things” was inserted.] {Such disbelief..}

     Jesus said (Jn.5:28,29) “all those in the tombs/graves will hear God’s voice and will come forth. Some into enduring Life” (surely God iS life! ..And is perfect, 1Jn.5:20, Mt.5:48, so imperfect is this entropy/slow gehenna that doesn’t quit) “and some into judgment” (I think into GWT judgment/discernment/review of history and closure for all ‘Day’! ..What a dramatic ‘day’ (age) that will be.. all generations from all nations. (5OO years? Rev.20 and Lev.23, the Spring and Fall holy days as type, shadow and outline of the Lord’s two advents? The second long one a full scope version of his first so brief one? But with helpers serving called reigning? Well, in the ‘end’ - (the greek word means end-aim) - eveRyone will “be like Jesus”. Remember he said a grain of wheat is one/alone, unless it falls to the ground, then it becomes many. 

      Satan&co are released from the abyss a thousand years into Jesus’ second advent. How long might it take for them to gather to Armageddon-2? Now previously - as Isaiah wrote - the people after the Lord’s return “will stream to the mountains of God, saying ‘let us go and learn of his ways’”.. Funny how both armageddons are against a presently tiny sliver of land.}}

    11 And such (continues Paul) were some of us! But we were washed [apoloúō - from apó - away from, and loúō - wash, so wash away, this strengthened form of loúō (to wash) refers to an entire washing]. You were sanctified [hagiazó - to make holy, consecrate, sanctify]. You were justified [dikaioó - to show to be righteous, declare righteous]. All in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and BY the Spirit of our God. {{Trinity, Father & Son only straight out from God one, are so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence, same as will saturate and thus “seal” all of mankind, angelkind and creation. “..Lion will eat straw ..bear graze with cow” Is.11:7.

     12 As they say, “all things are lawful for me” but not all things are helpful! All things are lawful for me {{foods and days were a big issue} but I (Paul) will not be dominated by anything! 13 “Food is meant for the belly and the belly for food”. And the body isn’t meant for sexual immorality, but for the LORD, and the LORD for the body. (1Cor.3:16)

           ༺☾🌟𖤓༻ JOHN 12:37-50

37 - Though Jesus had done so many signs and miracles, they still didn’t believe in him. {{😮We’re so fickle, and such collective sheep.} 38 And so the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled - “LORD, who has believed your message? And to who, has been revealed, the arm {intent} of the LORD?” 39 Therefore, they couldn’t believe. {Because it wasn’t revealed to them!} For again Isaiah said, 40 “He has blinded their eyes, and he has hardened their heart. Lest they see with their eyes, and lest they understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.”

     41 Isaiah said these things because he saw the Son’s glory and spoke about it. {It was revealed to him.} 42 Nevertheless! Even many of the authorities believed in Jesus, but for fear of the Pharisees they didn’t say so, because they didn’t want to be put out of the synagogue/{{and ‘accepted’ society, the establishment and political power} 43 for they cared for acceptance and glory that comes from man more than acceptance and {the exceeding great} glory revealed from God.

     44 And Jesus cried out to the people, the city, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in he who sent me! 45 And whoever sees me - sees the one who sent me!” {{It’s not a case of what God hAs created, but what he iS creating.}

     46 “I have come into the world as Light and whoever believes in Me will not be in darkness.💡 47 If anyone hears my words and doesn’t keep them {doesn’t believe them} I don’t judge them. For I didn’t come to judge the world, but to save it. 48 The one who rejects me and doesn’t receive my words has a judge, the words I’ve spoken will judge them in [en - in, on, at, by, with, among {during!} the last (“8th”) ‘day’.” {For “God’s words will not be futile” Is.55:11.}

     49 “For I haven’t spoken on my own authority. The Father who sent me has himself told me what to say. 50 And I know his instruction is Life. What I say therefore, is what the Father has told me to say.”

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

 Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [[ref] {{thots}

            ༺☀️༻ 1 Corinthians 6:1-8

1 - When one of you has a grievance against another, why go to law before the unbelievers instead of to the saints? (Believers.) 2 Or do you not know the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? 3 Do you know we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! 4 So if you have such cases, why do you bring them before those who have no standing in the church? 5 I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the two of you who are fellow believers, 6 but brother goes to law against brother, sister against sister, and before unbelievers? 7 To have lawsuits with one another at all is already a defeat. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? 8 But you yourselves wrong and defraud even your own brothers and sisters!

            ༺☾🌟𖤓༻ MARK 14:1-9

1 - And now it was two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread [two days in a row, called interchangeably, as was the whole week also referred to by either name]. And the leaders of the nation, the chief priests and scribes, were seeking how to arrest him on the sly and have him killed. 2 But they were thinking ‘not during the feast, in case there should be an uproar from the people’.

     3 Meanwhile Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the (ex)leper, as he was reclining at table. And a woman came in with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure spikenard, very costly and fragrant, and she broke it and poured it over his head. [Anointing of a king, Christos - “the anointed one”.] 4 There were some there who were indignant and thought to theirselves, ‘why was this fine ointment wasted like that? 5 It could at least have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And so some were scolding her.

     6 But Jesus said, “Don’t bother her. Why are you troubling her? She’s done a good thing. 7 You always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you’ll not always have me. 8 She has done what she can. She has anointed me beforehand for burial. 9 And truly, I tell you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in all the world, what she has done will also be told.”
