ENTER THE STORY - A NEW TESTAMENT READING SCHEDULE

   ⛲️☀️ Father is the fountain of Life.

   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.

A work finished during his long

N.Testament & Prophecy Advanced CU Study, verses paraphrased  [ ] references { } thots

 • 2 Peter 2:1-7  Matthew 26:30-46

            ☀️ A.M. 2 Peter 2:1-7

(The previous verse - 1:21 For no (true) prophecy ever came by the will of man, but they spoke from God, as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God}. 1 - But also false prophets arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly bring in ruinous teachings, even denying the one who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift wreckage.

     2 And many will follow their example, and because of them the way of truth will be maligned. 3 And in their avarice [pleonexia - avarice, lust, aggression, desire for advantage {of whatever kind}] they will exploit you with false words. Their judgment is from long ago, and isn’t idle. Ruin does not slumber.

     4 For if God didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them to chains of deepest darkness, locked into judgment being kept, 5 and if he wasn’t lenient with the ancient world {of cannibaalism?} but preserved Noah - a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly. {Imperfect is an abyss of potential, pre-flood was hands off. Now they await “resurrection” into GWT judgment ‘day’, the aionion kolasis/correction.} {“Noah, a preacher” is how Jesus “went via the Spirit to preach to those headed to destruction while the ark” was being built.. which took a hundred years, 2Pet.2:5 answers 1Pet.3:20.} 

     6 And the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, reduced to ashes of destruction, are an example of what is coming upon the ungodly world. {Is.24:20/Rev.10:4, noT everlasting flames. God “is perfect” Mt.5:48, so the end result (greek, the “end-aim”) of this unavoidable and sad contrast, can onLy be the best one possible.}

      7 And if he rescued righteous Lot, who was greatly distressed by the wanton conduct of the wicked.. (to be continued.. just following the schedule.)

            🌙 P.M. Matthew 26:30-46

30 - And when they had sung a hymn, they went out of the city to the mountainside of olives. 31 Then Jesus said, “You’ll all fall away this night. For it’s written, ‘I’ll strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ 32 But after I’m raised, I will go before you to Galilee.”

     33 Peter said, “Though all fall away from you, I never will!” 34 Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you’ll deny me three times.”

     35 Peter said, “Even if I must die with you, I’ll not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.

     36 Then they went to the garden called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here, while I go a little way, to pray.” 37 And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee (John and James) he began to be troubled and sorrowful. 38 And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. {I feel like it’s killing me.} Remain here, and watch [grégoreó - watch, be vigilant, stay awake] with me.” 39 And going a little further, he fell upon his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me. But, not as I will. As you will.” {Something strong enough to appease eveRy conscience. After all, imperfection, besides being entropy/gehenna, is an abyss of potential. Already proven maNy times, by all ethnicities and groups. Or actually, by one race. The human race. Never fall for “divide, and…”}

     40 And he went back to the three, and he found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “Could you not watch with me for an hour? 41 Watch and pray you don’t enter into temptation, for the spirit is willing, but human nature is weak.” {And easily misled, as well?}

     42 Again, for a second time, he prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, let your will be done.” 43 And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44 So, leaving them again, he prayed a third time, saying the same words. 45 Then he came to the disciples and said, “You’ll have to sleep and take your rest later. See.. the hour is at hand. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.” [Sinners is hamartōlós - an adjective derived from hamartánō - to forfeit by missing the mark, properly, loss from falling short; and hamartía - missing the mark/target (translated sin). 46 “Rise, let us be going. My betrayer’s at hand.”

ACTS 1 1-26

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

     Book of the Acts of the First Believers

1 - In the first book, O Theophilus, I (Luke) have dealt with all that Jesus did and taught until 2 the day he was taken up, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} to the apostles he had chosen. [Luke is a Greek doctor who met Paul when Paul was traveling. Like the gospel account he wrote, some in this book must have been compiled by interviews. He traveled some with Paul, we can see this by where he uses the word “we”.]

     3 Jesus - with proofs - presented himself alive after his suffering (after his execution) having appeared to them over forty days, speaking about the kingdom of God. 4 And while he was still here, he told them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father. “The promise I told you about” Jesus said [Jn.14:16, Lk.24:49]. 5 “For John baptized with water, but you’ll be baptized with the Holy Spirit {with God’s veRy Presence!} a few days from now.” 6 And they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”7 He answered, “It’s not for you to know the times and seasons that the Father has fixed. 8 But you’ll receive power when the Holy Spirit(/Presence of God with you) has come upon you, and then you’ll be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in (neighboring) Samaria, and to the very ends of the earth.” 9 And when he had said these things, they saw him lifted up, for a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 And while they were gazing into heaven, watching as he went, behold, two men stood nearby in white (aka, radiant?) robes, 11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you, will come, in the same way, as you saw him, go up.”

     12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called “of Olives” which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away. 13 And they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot and Judas (not Iscariot) the son of James. 14 They were spending their time in prayer, with the women and Mary mother of Jesus, along with his (birth) brothers.

     15 And during those days Peter stood up among the believers (the number of which was about 120) and he said, 16 “Brothers and sisters, the Scripture was fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke in earlier times by (king) David concerning Judas, who’s the one who guided those who arrested Jesus.” (He had led them to Gethsemene Garden on Mt. of Olives, where Jesus was spending the night with the disciples.) 17 “But he was numbered among us and had a share in this ministry.”

     18 Now this man [Judas] acquired a field with the reward (coins) of his wickedness, and then fell upon a sword and 19 all Jerusalem heard of it, and so in their language they named the field Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood — {This is one way it was remembered and thought of by the time of this writing, which was some time later. Paul writes it as occurring differently. But testimonies always differ.}

     20 “For it’s written” Peter continued, “in the Book of Psalms, ‘May his place (seat, office) become desolate, and let there be no one to dwell in it’ and ‘Let another take his place.’ 21 So one of the men who’ve been with us during all the time when the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up - one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection.”

     23 And so they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they prayed, saying, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen to 25 take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” [Topos - place, region, seat, part] {“all the world is a stage”.. Shakespeare.}

     26 And then they cast lots, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven. {“Chosen” anybody chosen is by a lucky shake of the heavenly dice? For it’s not according to any sort of worth. He simply decided for his purposes to call/wake up some now, and the rest later - Lev.23:23-36.}

 • 2 Peter 1:9-21  John 17:12-18:2

            ☀️ A.M. 2 Peter 1:9-21

9 - For whoever lacks these qualities is nearsighted and blind, having forgotten that they were cleansed from the former things which dragged them down, captured them, and made them miserable.

     10 Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more determined and diligent to confirm (lock in) your calling and election. For if you reflect these qualities you’ll not fall away. 11 And there’ll be an open entry provided for you. An  {early} entrance into the enduring kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. {At his (full) return.}

     12 Therefore I plan to always remind you of all this, even though you know the truth and are established in it. 13 I think is right, to stir you to a permanent remembrance of these things, as long as I am in this body. [When we rise to meet him, we rise in a new body] {likely with the same but higher/perfect dna?} 14 All the more, as I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, because our Lord Jesus has made clear to me. 15 So I make every effort, that after I’m absent, you may be able at any time to recall these things.

     16 For it wasn‘t cleverly devised myths we were following, when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. For we were eyewitnesses of his majesty! 17 He received honor and glory from God the Father.

     And we heard the voice that was borne to him by the kingly glory when it said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” 18 We heard this voice coming from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain.

     19 And besides all that, we have the prophetic word fully confirmed (acted out before our eyes) to which we all do well to pay attention, as to a lamp giving its light in a dark place, until the day dawns! And the morning star rises in your hearts, 20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is for someone's own interpretation. {It’s not about moi! Nor “all about me.”} 21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but men spoke from God, as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God}.

            🌙 P.M. John 17:12-18:2

(Jesus praying aloud after supper on the evening of his arrest.) 12 - “While I was with them, I kept them in your name {in THE God Most High} [onoma - name, reputation, character, cause] which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost. Except the son of destruction [apóleia - destruction, ruin, loss, perdition] that the Scripture be completed. {A son/child of perdition .. “all the world’s a stage” Shakespeare.}

     13 “But now I’m coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, so my joy may be in them. 14 I’ve given them your word [logos - message, speech, word(s), account, reason, reasoning expressed by words; from lego - a word, an expression of a thought] and ‘the world has hated’ them because they’re not “of the world” just as I’m not of the world.

     15 I don’t ask that you take them out of the world. But that you keep them from the evil. 16 They’re not of the world, just as I’m not “of the world”. 17 Sanctify [hagiazó - sanctify, make holy, consecrate, purify, set apart] them in the Truth. Your word iS Truth.

     18 For as you sent me into the world, so am I sending them. 19 And for their sake I sanctify/dedicate myself, that they also may be sanctified in {and dedicated to} truth. 20 I don’t ask for these only, but also for all who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so the world may believe you have sent me. 

     22 The glory that you have given me I’ve given to them. This is so they may be one, even as we are one. 23 I in them, and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so the world may know that you sent me and love them even as you love me.

     24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you’ve given to me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

     25 O righteous Father, even though the world doesn’t know you, I know you, and these know that you sent me. 26 I made known to them your name [onoma - name, character, reputation, cause] and I will continue to make it known, so the love with which you have loved me may be in them. And I in them.”

     18:1 After this, Jesus went out with his disciples across Kidron brook, where there was a garden (grove of olive trees). 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often went there with his disciples.

            ☀️ A.M. 2 Peter 1:1-8

1 - (This letter is from) Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ. To those who have obtained a faith - of equal standing with ours - by the righteousness of our God and our savior Jesus Christ. 2 May grace and peace be plentiful toward you in the knowing of God and of Jesus our Lord.

     3 By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life, through the true knowledge of he who called us by his own glory and excellence. 4 By which he has granted to us his priceless and very great promises, so that through them we may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the world’s corruption [phthora - corruption, destruction, decay, decomposition, dissolution]. 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith, virtue [areté - goodness, virtue] and add to it, knowledge, 6 and to knowledge, add self-control, and to self-control, steadfastness, and to steadfastness add godliness, 7 and to godliness add genuine brotherly affection, and to brotherly affection add love.

     8 For if these qualities are yours, and are increasing, they will keep you fruitful and benefitting in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus.

            🌙 P.M. John 17:1-11

1 - After Jesus had said these things, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you. 2 You’ve given him authority over all, to give eternal [aiónios - adjective of aion/eon/age, aionions] life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is enduring [aiónios] life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

     4 I glorified You while upon earth, and accomplished the work You gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own Presence with the glory I had with you before the world was.

     6 I’ve shown you to the people which you gave me out of the world.” {See vs.2, it began with the twelve.} Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know all you have given me is from you. 8 For I’ve given them the words you gave to me, and they received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you. They believe you sent me, 9 and I’m praying for them. I’m not praying for - the world - but for those you’ve given me, for they’re yours.

     10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I’m glorified in them. 11 I’m no longer in the world, but they’re in the world, and I’m coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name [onoma - name, character, reputation, cause] which you have given to me, that they may be one, as we are one.”

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Peter 5:8-14

8 - Be sober-minded and watchful, for your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a restless, roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith! Knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And after enduring hardships, the God of grace - who has called you to his eternal [aionion] glory in Christ - himself restores, confirms, strengthens, and establishes. 11 To him is the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

     12 Along with Silvanus (Silas, who worked, and traveled somewhat with Paul) whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written briefly, urging and declaring to you, that this is the true grace of God (we have taught you, and written about in this letter). Stand firm in it. 13 She {the church which is} at Babylon [was code for Rome] who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does Mark, my son. [Mark who wrote one of the gospels, likely by interviews. A young man(?) who was a scribe/able to write, and worked for the cause of God, in Jesus, and traveled some with Paul and others.] 14 Greet one another with the kiss of love.

     Peace to all of you who are in Christ.

            🌙 P.M. John 16:17-33

17 - Some of the disciples said to one another, “What does he mean, ‘In a little while, you won’t see me, then, in a little while, you will see me, because I’m going to the Father’? 18  And what does he mean by ‘a little while’?”

     19 Jesus knew they wanted to ask him, so he said, “Is this what you’re asking among yourselves, what I mean by saying, ‘A little while and you won’t see me, and again, in a little while, you will see me’? 20 Very truly I tell you, you’ll weep, and lament, but the world will rejoice. You’ll be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy.

     21 When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour’s come, but when she’s delivered the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has come into the world! 22 So also you, you’ll have sorrow now, but I’ll see you again, and your hearts will rejoice.

     And no one will ever take your joy from you! 23 In that day you’ll ask nothing of me. Truly, I tell you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name [onoma - name, reputation, cause] he’ll give it to you in my name. 24 Until now you’ve asked for nothing in my name. Ask, and you’ll receive, so your joy will be full.

     25 I’ve told you these things in parables and figurative speech. But the hour’s coming when I’ll no longer use figures of speech but will tell you openly and plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you’ll ask in my name, and I don’t say that I’ll ask the Father on your behalf, 27 for the Father himself loves you, and is happy that you have loved me, and have believed that I came from him. 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I’m leaving the world and going to the Father.”

     29 And the disciples said, “Now you’re talking plainly, and not in figurative speech. 30 We know you know all things and don’t need anyone to question you, and so we believe you came from God.”

     31 Jesus answered, “Do you believe? 32 Behold, the hour’s coming, indeed it has come, when you’ll be scattered, each to his own house, and will leave me alone. Yet I’m not alone, for the Father is with me. 33 I’ve told you all this, so that in me, you’ll have peace. In the world you’ll have tribulation [thlipsis - pressures, afflictions, troubles, persecutions]. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

REVELATION - 22 3-21

Apocalypse logic & riddles, weekly study, verses paraphrased [ ] references { } thots

BOOK OF REVELATION

3 - And there shall be no more curse nor cursed (accursed) for all [pas - all] curse [katanáthema  - from katá - according to, down, which intensifies anáthema - a curse – properly, an oath-curse which "devotes something to destruction" literally, to take it down] shall no longer be.

     And the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it (the New Jerusalem) and his servants will serve him. [Latreia - from latris - render technical, acceptable service because qualified.] 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. (No more ‘mystery babble’/all confusion on the forehead of the world.) 5 And by-night will be no more. They will not need the light of a lamp nor of the sun, for the Lord God will be the light of them, and (so) they will reign [basileuó - exercise dominion] (over creation and well being, not over others, lol) age to age.

     6 “These words are faithful and true” the angel said, “and the Lord God of the spirits [pneuma: wind, breath, spirit] of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must come to pass in quickness [tachu - quickly, speedily]”.

     7 “And behold, I come quickly [tachu]. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

     8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw all these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, 9 but he said, “You mustn’t do that! I’m a fellow servant with you and the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

     10 Then he told me, “Don’t seal up the words of this book of prophecy, for the time is near at hand. {Entropy is ever progressing.} 11 The ones being unrighteous, let them be unrighteous still. (Until then! And INITIALLY during GWT judgment/discernment/review/closure for all ‘Day’.) And the ones who are vile, let them be vile still. (Until then! And INITIALLY during GWT ‘day’.) And those being righteous, let them practice righteousness still, and those who are holy let them be so still. [Holy - hagios - the fundamental (core, basic) meaning of hagios is "different" – thus a temple in the 1st century was hagios - holy, sacred because different from other buildings; different from the world because like the Lord - biblehub dot com.] 12 “Behold, I’m coming quickly, bringing with me what’s due [misthos - pay for service, literally or figuratively, good or bad] to repay each for what they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. 14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so they may have right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates. 15 Outside (now, and initially during GWT ‘day’) are the dogs and sorcerers [pharmakos - poisoner, sorcerer, magician] and the sexually immoral [pornos] and murderers and idolaters [eidólolatrés - an image worshiper] and everyone loving and making/doing a lie. 16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you these things to the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”

     17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And the one hearing let them say come. And the one thirsting let them come, and the one desiring, let them take the water of life freely. 18 And I testify to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described. 19 And if anyone should take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in what is described in this (Rev.) book, the share out of the New Jerusalem and out of the tree of life (the healing of the nations). 20 And He who is testifying of these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen. 

                The End.

Jesus’ brief first advent perfectly fulfilled the ancient Spring Holy Days (of Lev.23) more perfectly than is easily seen. So logically his long second advent will fulfill the Autumn Holy Days, their names and pattern:
