   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.

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

 • Titus 3:8-15  John 12:20-36

            ☀️ A.M. Titus 3:8-15

8 - This is trustworthy, so insist on these things, so those who have believed in God may be genuinely stirred up {inspired} to good works.

     All these things are excellent and profitable for all. 9 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law and about doctrines, for these are unprofitable and worthless.

     10 As for a person who stirs up division, warn them once, then twice, then stay away from them, 11 knowing such a one is {still} warped and sinful, so is self condemned. {..Self condemned/judged..}

     12 I will be sending Artemas or Tychicus to you, then do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I’ve decided to spend the winter there. 13 Do your best to send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way, and see they lack nothing.

     14 Encourage everyone to learn to devote theirselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and so not be unfruitful. 15 All who are with me here, send you greetings. Greet all those who love us in the faith.

     And grace be with you all.

            🌙 P.M. John 12:20-36

20 - Now, there were among those who went up to worship at the feast (week of Passover/Unleavened Bread) some Greeks (gentiles/not Hebrew) 21 who came to Philip, he being from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told Andrew, and then they went and told Jesus. 23 And Jesus said, “The hour” (marked by gentiles seeking him) “has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 For truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it will bear much fruit.”

     25 “Whoever loves their life loses it, and whoever hates [miseó - hates, loves less] their life of this world, will keep it for enduring life. 26 If anyone serves me, they’ll follow me. And where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor them.”

     27 “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But it’s for this hour that I’ve come. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have glorified it. And I will glorify it again.”

     29 The crowd that was standing there and heard it said, “It thundered.” Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus said, “This voice has come for your sake, not mine. 31 Now is the judgment of this world. And now will the ruler of this world be cast out.” (By this.) 32 “And I, if I’m lifted up from the earth, will draw all to me.” 33 He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die.

     34 Some among the crowd asked him, “We’ve heard from the Law that the Christ (Messiah) remains forever. How can you say the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” (Rev.12:1-5)

     35 Jesus answered, “The light” {the Truth/logos personified} “is among you for a little while longer. Walk {follow} while you have the light. Lest darkness come upon you. The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where they’re going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.”

     After he said these things, he left the temple and no longer walked among the people. (His public teaching, during this first brief advent, is over.)

 • Titus 3:1-7  Matthew 25:34-46

            ☀️ A.M. Titus 3:1-7

1 - Remind them (believers of Crete) to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. 3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures {and untruths} passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. {Harsh and ever progressing spirit of the world/adversary.}

     4 But when the goodness and the loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us. {Delivered us from all that.} Not because we were righteous. But according to - his - mercy, and {it’s carried out and progresses} by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit {Presence of God} 6 which he pours out upon us abundantly, through Jesus our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace, we might become heirs - according to the hope [elpis - trust, expectation] of enduring life.

            🌙 P.M. Matthew 25:34-46

34 - (Jesus continues) “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed - by my Father - inherit the kingdom prepared {ready} from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you fed me. I was thirsty and you refreshed me with drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. 36 I was unclothed and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited [episkeptomai - visited, looked after, cared for] me, I was in prison and you came to me.’

     37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and fed you, or thirsty and gave you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and make you welcome, or unclothed and we clothed you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit and care for you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least, you did it to me.’

     41 Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed [kataraomai - being cursed] into the aionion (pertaining to an age) fire prepared [hetoimazó - prepared, made ready] for the devil and his angels.” {The three mentions of “lake of fire” are at huge fiery events.} 42 “For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you didn’t welcome me, unclothed and you didn’t clothe me, sick and in prison and you didn’t visit me and care for me.’

     44 Then they’ll answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or unclothed or sick or in prison, and didn’t minister to you?’ 45 Then he’ll answer, ‘Truly, I tell you, as you didn’t do for one of the least of these, you didn’t do for me.’” {As we treat all others is how we treat him.}

     46 “And will go away these, into aionion/eonian correction, but the righteous into enduring life.” {Jn.5:28-29, Rev.20, but which chapter is told like describing the crests of waves and not much of the in between.}

REVELATION - 21 10-22

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

BOOK OF REVELATION

10 - And he (an angel) carried me (John) in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and he showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem. It was coming down from God, out of heaven, 11 and it shone with his glory. It’s radiance was like a most precious stone, like jasper, clear as crystal.

     12 It had a great, high wall of twelve gates, with twelve angels at the gates. And on them were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. {Upon believing, we’re “grafted into Israel” Ro.11:17-26.} 13 There were three gates facing east, three facing north, three south and three west.

     14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold with which to measure the city, the gates and the walls. {Note - a rod is a measuring stick, the “iron rod” Jesus will rule the nations with is Truth, which is unbreakable, an unbreakable measure, that breaks all that isn’t true.}

     16 The city was as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. [Stadia - a greek measurement, stadium length, the length of a race course,  furlong which is an 8th of a mile - 12,000 stadia, between 1,300 to 1,400 miles?]

     17 The angel measured the wall using human and angel measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick. 18 The wall was of jasper, the city of pure gold, pure as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The city had twelve foundations, each made of a precious stone, the first jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were of pearl, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure and clear as glass. 22 I didn’t see in the city, a temple, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

     {Truth/Logos is far and wide.. and overflowing with radiant gems..?}

 • Titus 2:9-15  Matthew 25:24-33 and Rev. 21:10-22 separately

            ☀️ A.M. Titus 2:9-15

9 - Bondservants (paying of a debt/agreement/bond by working, today employees) should work well and be respectful, not argumentative or resentful. 10 Not pilfering, but showing all good faith in everything, so they may adorn the news of God our Savior.

     11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, 12 and training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly longings, to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age. 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness {and entropy! imperfection is entropy (death) because God, (surely?) iS Life, and he “is perfect” Mt.5:48} and to purify [katharisē, a root of catharsis] to himself a people for his own who are zealous [zélótés - zealous, enthusiastic, fervent in support] for good [kalos - good, beautiful, noble, excellent, honorable] works [ergon]. 15 Declare these things Titus. Urge, encourage and convince with all authority. Let no one disregard you! {Because he was young?}

            🌙 P.M. Matthew 25:24-33

(Parable of the talents/coins continued) - 24 - “But the one who had received the one coin came forward, saying, ‘Master, I thought you to be a hard man, reaping where you didn’t sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25 so I was afraid and went, dug a hole in the ground, and hid your coin.” {Cowed by “the world”? Hid the small amount of spirit had?}

     “Here, have what is yours.’ 26 But the master answered, ‘You wicked [ponéros - wicked, bad, malicious] and lazy [oknéros - slothful, lazy, idle, lagging behind; from oknéō - to delay – properly, hesitate and hence be tardy, reluctant, ‘dragging one's feet’] servant! You know I reap where I  haven’t sown, and I gather where I scatter no seed? 27 So you should have invested my money with the bankers {usury - use - perhaps sacrificing “the world’s” approval and acceptance} and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the coin from that one and give it to the one who has the ten coins. 29 For to everyone who has {maturity and spiritually} will more be given, and they will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what they have will be taken away. 30 And cast the unfit servant into the {inner} outer darkness. Where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Mt.13:30/Rev.16:14-15-16.)

     31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels [angeloi - angels, messengers] with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne [thronos - throne, seat]. {“All the world is a stage” - Shakespeare.} 32 And before him will be - gathered {Rev.16:14-15-16} - all the nations. And he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right. But the goats on the left.” {Mt.13:30 as Rev.16:14-15-16 and, or Mt.25:1-13.}

 • Titus 2:1-8  Matthew 25:14-23

            ☀️ A.M. Titus 2:1-8

1 - As for you, Titus, teach what accords with sound [hugiainó - reasonable, sound, pure, healthy, uncorrupted] teaching. 2 Older men should be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, and steadfast [hugiainó] in the faith, with love and stability.

     3 Older women likewise should be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to wine. They should teach what’s good, 4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, virtuous, keeping a home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands - that the word of God not be insulted. 6 And urge the younger men to be self-controlled and sober minded [sóphroneó - to be of sound mind, self-controlled, sober-minded].

     7 Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, 8 and sound words that can’t be condemned, so those who contradict may be convinced and turn, and have nothing evil to say about us.

            🌙 P.M. Matthew 25:14-23

(Jesus continues answering the disciple’s eschatological questions.) 14 - “That day, is like a man who is going on a journey. He calls his managers and entrusts to them his property. 15 To one he gives five talents/coins, to another two coins, and to another one. He gives to each one according to their ability [dynamis - ability, strength, abundance, power, might, ability]. Then he went away on his journey.

     16 The one who had received the five coins, traded with them, and made five more. 17 So also the one who had the two coins and made two more. 18 But the one who had received but one coin went and dug a hole in the ground and hid the master's money.

    19 Now after a long while, the master of those servants returned and settled accounts. 20 The one who had received the five coins came forward, bringing five more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five coins, here, I’ve made you five more.’ 21 The master said, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You’ve been faithful over a little, now I’ll set you over much. Enter {Mt.25:1-13} into the joy of your Lord!’ 22 And also the one who had the two coins came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two coins, and here, I have made two more.’ 23 And the master said, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You’ve been faithful over a little, now I set you over much. Enter, into the joy of your Lord!’”

 • Titus 1:10-16  Matthew 25:1-13

            ☀️ A.M. Titus 1:10-16

10 - For there are many who are off course. And many are empty talkers and misleaders. 11 They’re upsetting whole families by teaching for personal gain and satisfaction, what they shouldn’t teach. 12 One of those of Crete, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” {Sorry but we’re all liars, evil beasts and lazy gluttons! Lol. Crete is where Titus was, helping to build and establish a believing group.} 13 This is true! So rebuke such sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not devoting themselves to myths and the commands {or ideas?} of people who turn away from the truth. {Usually to conform to “the world”?}

     15 To the pure, all things are pure. {Food, days and drink, grace brings moderation. Also in ideas, beliefs and attitudes?} But to the defiled and disbelieving, nothing is pure, nor good. {So they want to impose rules for others concerning their ideas or convictions? Anything that says ‘come follow moi’.} This is because their minds and their consciences are corrupted. 16 They profess to know God, but they deny him by their life and actions. They are being detestable, disobedient, unfit [adokimos - disqualified, unapproved, rejected, failing to pass the test, counterfeit, not fit] for any good work. {For serving.. Including serving called reigning during the two millenniums of the Lord’s long second advent, full scope version of his first so brief one? 🗝️Rev.20 is told like describing only the crests of waves.}

            🌙 P.M. Matthew 25:1-13

The Bridesmaids Parable - [The word bridesmaids is “parthenos - virgins, includes men who have not been with a woman, also used to refer to believers as pure (chaste), i.e. faithful to Christ their heavenly Bridegroom.” {Rev.14:4.}]

     {Believers are, in different parables, the bride, the bride’s attendants, and guests at the wedding banquet. Purity of the bride is important as is purity of the attending. But “the door” is to the Lord’s second advent, and is why it closes. It’s not, as has been supposed, a door forever shut to Life.]

     25:1 - (Jesus continuing to answer the question, “what will be the sign of your coming and the consummation of the age?” says) - “At that time, the kingdom of heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their torches and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were wise, and five were not. 3 For when the unwise took their torches they took no oil. 4 But the wise kept flasks of oil with their torches. 5 And as the bridegroom was delayed, they all became sleepy and slept. 6 But at midnight there was a cry! ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’

     7 Then the maids rose and put their torches in order. 8 But the unwise said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our torches are out!’ 9 But the wise answered, ‘There won’t be enough for us and for you! You need to have your own oil.’” {Another’s light/faith/grace cannot make us fit.}

     10 “And while those bridesmaids went seeking oil, the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage banquet, and the door was shut. 11 Afterwards the other maids came knocking and saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered, ‘Truly, I tell you, I don’t know you.’

     13 Watch therefore, for you are not aware of the day, nor the hour, in which the Son of man comes.”

 • Titus 1:1-9  Matthew 24:45-51

            ☀️ A.M. Titus 1:1-9

1 - From Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus, I’m writing for the well being of the faith, to keep intact the knowledge of the truth, which accords with godliness. 2 And is in expectation of enduring Life, which God - who never lies - promised before the ages began.

     3 And at the proper time, has brought to light and made known, his message through the proclamation with which I’ve been entrusted by the command of God our Savior —

     4 To Titus, my true child in this common faith:

Grace and peace from God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Savior.

     5 This is why I left you in Crete, so you might put what remains to be done in order, and appoint elders in every town as I laid out, 6 those who are above reproach, the husband of one wife. His children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or unruly and rebellious. 7 For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant, or quick-tempered, or a drunkard, or violent, or greedy for gain, 8 but must be hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.

     9 And he must hold firm to the trustworthy message as taught, so he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to correct those who contradict it.

            🌙 P.M. Matthew 24:45-51

45 - “Who then” Jesus said, “is a wise and faithful servant? Whose master has set over his household, to give out food at the proper time? 46 Blessed are the servants the master finds so doing when he returns.

     47 Truly, I tell you, he’ll set them over all he has. 48 But if a wicked servant, says in his heart, ‘the master is delayed,’ 49 and begins to beat up on his fellow servants” {including with words?} “and eats and drinks with drunkards.” {His communion is with the confused, the world, its ideas and value system.} 50 “The master of that servant will come on a day not expected, and at an hour they don’t know.

     51 They’ll be strayed and their place [meros - part, portion, share, role?] will be with the hypocrites.” {And naturally} “There’ll be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

     {Mt.13:30 as Rev.16:14-15-16 ! And (or) Mt.25:1-13(10) - The three mentions of lake of fire are at huge, fiery events - the initiaL (inneR) conditions of - some - of those who rise “still in their imperfection/hamartia - missing the mark” in the “2nd resurrection” (which is strongly suggested by the first one being called “first”) are portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable, and in the - outside-of-the vision narrative of Revelation 22.}
