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.

 • Colossians 2:18-23  John 8:12-20

            ☀️ Colossians 2:18-23

18 - Don’t let someone else disqualify you! Insisting on asceticism or the worship of angels, going on in detail about visions. Puffed up without reason by their self focused mind, 19 not holding fast to Jesus the head and Lord, from whom the whole body of believers is nourished and knit together through the joints and connecting ligaments [sun-desmos - bond, ligament, uniting principle] grows with a growth that’s from God.

     20 If you died with Christ, to the elementary spirits that drive the world, why, as if you are still living to the world, do you submit to regulations? {Today, follow its philosophy, thinking and trends?} 21 Rules {thinking} according to human precepts and teachings, various do’s and don’ts and how to’s. 22 Things that pass away. 23 These all have an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made {spirituality?} religion, asceticism and severity to the body but these are of no value in curbing the failures or excesses of the lower, imperfect nature.

            🌙 John 8:12-20

12 - Again Jesus said to the people, “I’m the light of the world! Whoever follows me won’t walk in darkness, but they will have the light of life.”

      13 And the Pharisees said to him, “You’re bearing witness about yourself. And your testimony isn’t true.” 14 Jesus answered, “Even if I bear witness about myself, it’s a true witness. I know where I came from, and I know where I’m going. But you don’t know where I came from or where I’m going. 15 You judge according to human judgment. But I judge no one.

     16 Yet even if I do judge, my judgment would be true, for it’s not I alone who judge, but I and the Father who sent me.

     17 In your Law (of Moses) it’s written that the testimony of two people is true. 18 I’m the one who bears witness about myself. And the Father who sent me bears witness of me.”

     19 “Where is your Father?” they asked. Jesus answered, “You don’t know me nor my Father.  If you knew me, you would know my Father.” 20 These words he spoke in the treasury, as he was teaching in the temple. But no one arrested him, because the hour had not yet come.

     [The “treasury” - gazophulakion, from gaza and phulaké - is where the people would go — “In the Second Temple period, the treasury was an important part of the Temple complex, an area for worshippers to go to, where they could give offerings and so contribute to the maintenance of the Temple and its services ..a symbol of the people's interest and support for the religious institution. The offerings were used for the upkeep of the Temple, support for the priests, aid for the poor..”]

 • Colossians 2:8-17  John 8:2-11

            ☀️ Colossians 2:8-17

8 - See to it that no one leads you off as a slave to their teachings, or philosophies or empty traditions, according to the elemental spirits of this world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells completely, 10 and you’ve been filled up in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.

     11 In him also you were spiritually circumcised, by putting off {the self first and foremost, the mortal character - circumcision was on the eighth day, this straying is running its course for six millennial days, followed by the Lord’s long second advent consisting of a Sabbath millennium (a rest from enmity) then everything fully remedied on the eighth ‘day’ - so the putting off from humanity} …of the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 like you were buried with him in baptism, and raised with him, through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. {This - being raised from death - taken lightly? Assuming with world philosophy that we are inherently immortal, death being another form of life and living. But, imperfection - because God is Life and “is perfect” - is this slow gehenna crucible, entropy. The fire and worm that does not quit, aka, reverse.} ..13 And you {we} who were dead in your {our} trespasses and the uncircumcision of the mortal nature, God has made alive with Christ! Having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 and canceling the charges of debt that were against us. This he set aside {we are pardoned} nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the ruling powers {including death} and authorities, openly triumphing over them {and the good news rode forth conquering and to conquer}. 16 Therefore let no one judge you concerning food, or concerning drink, or in regard to a feast, or a new moon, or a Sabbath. 17 For these are a shadow {and copy} of the {real. The} things {which are} to come, for - the reality is Christ. {Logos, God’s reasoning, personified, vs.9.}

            🌙 John 8:2-11

[Some early manuscripts do not have 7:53 to 8:11.] 2 - Early in the morning Jesus was again at the temple and the people came and sat down and he taught them. 3 But then the leaders, the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and bringing her to Jesus, 4 they said, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such a one. So what do you say?” 6 This they said to test him, so they might have some charge to bring against him. But Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger upon the ground. 7 And as they continued to ask him, “Well?” he straightened up and said, “Let whoever is without sin be the first one to cast a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 And then they went away one by one, beginning with the older to the younger, and Jesus was left alone with the woman. 10 He straightened up and said to her, “Woman, where are those accusing you? Is there none to condemn you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more.”

REVELATION - 19 1-8

 Apocalypse logic & riddles, weekly study, verses paraphrased [ ] references { } thots, late been very sick

BOOK OF REVELATION

1 - After this I (John) heard what sounded like the loud voice of a great multitude in the heavens, crying out “Hallelujah! Salvation, glory and power belong to our God! 2 For his judgments are true and just! He has judged the great prostitute” {imo, $ity} who corrupted the earth with her immorality [greek, porneia] and he avenged [ekdikeó - gave justice over, defended, avenged, vindicated, (with) retribution] upon her for the blood of his servants.”

     3 Once more they cried out, “Hallelujah!

The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.” {Considering Revelation 21:5, this must be her smoke rising forever in the memories of all. As where else? Considering also, 2Pet.3:12-13. Hallelujah! The proof straying/imperfection can never work, it being corruption/entropy, the ‘worm’ that never quits/does not reverse. Life hAs to be Perfect!}

     4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!” 5 And from the throne came a voice saying, “Praise our God, all you his servants, all who revere him, small and great.”

     6 Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the All Mighty reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and exult and give him glory! For the marriage of the Lamb {union with/catching away} has come and his bride has made herself ready {Rev.7:9,4; Mt.25:10/1-13} 8 for it was granted to her, to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure”. {Wedding dress, for the union/marriage.} “For the fine linen is the justification of the saints [hagios - the set apart].”

 • Letter missing from schedule  Jn. 7:37-8:1 and Rev. 19:1-8 separately

            ☀️ John 7:37-8:1

37 - On the last day of the feast, the “last great day” (Lev.23:36) Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink! 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of their heart will flow rivers of living water’!”

     39 Now he said this about the Spirit{/Presence of God} which those who believing in him would receive, for the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

     40 When they heard him say this, some of the people said, “This really is the Prophet!” 41 And, “This is the Christ!” But others said, “Is the Christ to come from Galilee? 42 Hasn’t the Scripture said the Messiah comes from the descendents of David, and from Bethlehem, the village of David?”

     43 So there was a division among the people concerning him. 44 Some of them {leaders} wanted to arrest him. But no one laid hands on him.

    45 The officers who had been sent, went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring him in?”46 The officers answered, “No one ever spoke like this man.”

     47 The Pharisees answered, “Have you been deceived as well? 48 Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him? 49 But this crowd that doesn’t know the law (of Moses) is accursed!” {Beneath us?! Is the ignorant rabble!? Every nation, group, nationality, has its leaders. And they can all be known by their fruit. As is true of all of us, but POWER often corrupts.. misleads.. becomes a spiritual snare. A snare of the heart.}

     50 Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before (by night) but who was one of them, said, 51 “Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning about his works?” 52 They answered him, “Are you from Galilee too?! Search and see! No prophet comes from Galilee.” {Vehement dismissal.}

     [The earliest manuscripts we have don’t include 7:53 to 8:11.] 53 They all went home to their own houses, 8:1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

            ☀️ Colossians 2:1-7

1 - For I (Paul) want you to know how great a struggle I have for you! Also for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face. 2 That they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so they may have the full riches of full understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God - which is Christ - 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 I say this that no one may delude and mislead you with convincing sounding arguments. 5 I’m not there with you, but I’m with you in spirit, and I’m rejoicing to know of your stability in Christ. That you’re following his good way, and your faith in him is genuine.

     6 For as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, let your walk remain in him! 7 Rooted and built up in him. Established in the faith as you learned! And overflowing in thankfulness!

            🌙 John 7:25-36

(It was the week of Tabernacles) 25 and some of the people of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this the one they (the leaders of the nation) seek to kill? 26 And here he is (in the temple) speaking openly. And they’re saying nothing to him! Can it be the authorities really know this is the Christ?”

     27 Others said, “But we know where he comes from, and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from.”

     28 So Jesus said, as he was teaching in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I come from. But I haven’t come of my own will. He who sent me is true, and you don’t know him. 29 I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.”

     30 So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because the hour hadn’t yet come. 31 Many did believe in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?!” {And, surprise! What about when he has a long second advent?}

     32 The leaders, the chief priests and Pharisees, knew what the people were saying, so they sent officers to arrest him.

     33 Jesus said, “I’ll be with you a little longer, and then I’m going to he who sent me. 34 You’ll seek me but you won’t find me. Where I’m going you can’t come.”

     35 The people said to one another, “Where’s he going that we won’t find him? Is he planning to go to the kinsmen among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What does he mean by saying, ‘You’ll seek me and you won’t find me,’ and, ‘Where I am you can’t go’?”

ACTS 18 17-28

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

     Book of the Acts of the First Believers

17 - And after that the mob seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But proconsul Gallio paid no attention to any of it.

     18 Paul stayed a while longer in Corinth [a year and a half all together] and then he took leave of the brothers and sisters and set sail for Syria. Priscilla and Aquila went with him. At Cenchreae he cut his hair, as part of a vow. 19 And they arrived at Ephesus, whereupon he went to the synagogue and reasoned with the Hebrews (Jews). 20 They asked him to stay longer, 21 but he said, “I’ll be back, if God wills,” and he set sail from Ephesus.

     22 When he landed at Caesarea, he went up (to Jerusalem) and greeted the church, and then he went down to Antioch. 23 After spending some time there, he departed and went from place to place through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

     24 Meanwhile a Hebrew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent speaker, competent in the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately [akribós - with exact precision] the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only about the baptism of John.

     26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God even more fully. {Explaining the blessing of the Holy Spirit, the Presence of God the Father with us.} 27 And when he wished to cross to Achaia (of Greece) the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to make him welcome. When he arrived in Corinth, he was a great help to those who through grace believed, 28 for he persuasively refuted the non believing in the synagogue, showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ [Christos - anointed one, Messiah].

21 - And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing bad and malicious [ponéros - evil, wicked, bad, malicious] things, 22 he has now reconciled! By his suffering and death, in order to present you holy and blameless, and above reproach, before God. 23 If, indeed, you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not moving away from the hope [elpis - expectation, trust] of the gospel, which you heard, and is proclaimed in all of creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a servant.

     24 Now I (Paul) rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my mortality. I am full to the brim and overflowing in the afflictions of Christ. Afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, 25 of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me (especially) for you gentiles (non Hebrews) in order to make the word of God fully known. {God called and created a new nation in order to separate himself, in understanding, from “the gods” of the nations which were many, and carnal instead of holy and “perfect”.}

     26 And now the mystery hidden for ages and generations is now revealed! 27 To those God chose {by a lucky shake of the heavenly dice? what role we play} to make known how great among the nations is the riches of the glory of this mystery! Which mystery, is  - Christ in you! Which is the hope/expectation of glory.

     28 It’s him we proclaim, encouraging, instructing and steering everyone with all wisdom. This is so we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil, struggling with all his energy which he powerfully works within me.

            🌙 John 7:10-24

10 - After his (natural) brothers had gone up to the feast, then Jesus went up also, but quietly, and not openly. 11 The people were looking for him, and saying, “Where is he?” 12 And there was much undercurrent of talking about him among the people. While some said, “He’s a good man,” others said, “No, he’s leading the people astray.” 13 Yet for fear of the leaders no one spoke openly. {Social intimidation.}

     14 It wasn’t until the middle of the feast (middle of Tabernacle’s week) that Jesus went up to the temple and began to teach. 15 The people marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?” 16 So Jesus said, “My teaching is not from me, but is the teaching of the one who sent me. 17 Anyone who wants to do God's will, will know if the teaching is from God, or whether what I speak is from myself. 18 The one who speaks from their self seeks their own glory. But the one who seeks the glory of he who sent him is genuine, and in him there is no falsehood.

     19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. For why do you seek to kill me?” 20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who’s seeking to kill you?”

     21 Jesus answered, “I did one work, and you all marvel at it. 22 Moses gave you circumcision, not that it was from Moses, but from the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's body well? 24 Don’t judge by the superficial, and appearance, but judge with {deeper} right judgment.” {Think about it! ..Think about everything. With logic, root word logos.}

            ☀️ Colossians 1:16-20

(15 - He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.) 16 - For in him all in heaven and upon earth were created. The visible and the invisible, seats and dominions [arché - beginnings, origins, principalities] and jurisdictions [exousia - powers, rights, jurisdictions]. All were created through him and for him. {Powers and principalities, boundaries.. all originally perfect and pristine, but not (yet) ‘programmed’, so to speak.. school of hard knocks is doing the job.}

     17 And he is before all, and in him all are held together. 18 He is the head of the body, the church (body of believers). And he is the beginning, and the firstborn from the dead, so that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him - all the fullness of God - was pleased to dwell, 20 and, through him “to reconcile to himself, the all, having made peace by the blood of the cross of him, whether the upon earth or the in the heavens”. [Verse 20 is a more or less word for word translation, according to language tools we now have at our fingertips.]

            🌙 John 7:2-9

2 - The annual Feast of Booths/Tents/Tabernacles was at hand {Rev.21:5, Lev.23:34-36}. 3 Jesus’ (natural) brothers (Mt.13:55) said to him, “Why don’t you go to Judea, so your disciples (from all over, gathered annually for the feast) may see the works you’re doing. 4 For if you want to be known, don’t do these things secretly, but openly, then you’ll show yourself to the world.” 5 For even his brothers didn’t really believe in him. {But both James and Jude have a letter in the New Testament. And James became one of the leaders of the Jerusalem believers.}

     6 But Jesus said, “My time hasn’t yet come, but your time is always here. 7 The world doesn’t hate you. It hates me because I testify of it, that its works are evil [ponéros - wicked, bad, malicious]. 8 You go to the feast. I’m not going, for my time has not yet fully come.” 9 After saying this, he remained in Galilee.

     {He was not yet going to - this - Tabernacles? For the time was not completed. It was not - his - Tabernacles, the compleTe fulfillment (Eph.1:10) was not yet. “Tabernacles” being the Fulfillment - Rev.21:5 - the ancient (Lev.23) Holy Days, Spring and Fall, being an outline of his first brief advent (Spring), and then his longer, stretched out, second advent (Fall holy days of Lev.23 as an outline), which concludes at/with the “last great ‘day’” an “8th ‘day’” when all imperfections of self as first and foremost will be fuLLy removed from humanity. Humanity’s circumcision of the heart completed upon the “8th day”.}
