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.

Is.24:20/Rev.10:4.

All, in translation, was changed to all things.

REVELATION - 17 1-10

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

BOOK OF REVELATION

1 - Then one of the seven angels who had the seven (concurrent?) bowls came and said to me (disciple/apostle John) “Come, I’ll show you the {meanwhile} judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of earth have committed fornication.” {I.e, powers and politicians are in bed with her.} “And those upon Earth have become drunk with the wine of her indecencies.”

     3 And the angel carried me away in the Spirit to a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of slanderous insults/blasphemes, and it had seven heads and ten horns. {A many headed geopolitical beast, Dan.7:7,19, a key - the iron and bronze of Dan-2.} 4 The woman {riding the beast} was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold, jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup (to drink) full of abominations and impurities. {‘Her’ fruits and side effects.}

     5 And on her forehead was written a name, “Mystery Babylon the Great, Mother of Prostitution [porné - probably from pernémi - to export for sale] and of all Earth's Abominations [bdélygma - from bdelýssō, derived from bdēō, to reek {stink to high heaven ..as the saying goes} abhorrent, detestable]”. {$ity Babylon with it’s bright but garish streets and dark alleys, with a forehead/psyche/mind of ‘mystery babble’ - all confusion. Beast & $ity, Socialism & Capitalism both go extreme, free trade gone nutz and indecent. Oligarchy, but which ends up going all armageddon at each other(?) in the valley when assembled against Israel? Just a recurring question. Yet verses 12 and 16 for sure, which says “the ten horns ..are ten kings who for one hour receive authority ..along with the (many headed geopolitical) beast” of the hour “they will hate her, bring her to ruin, and consume/deplete her, and raze her with fire..” She rides the huge beast, but what will happen when the huge beast rides her?}

     6 And I saw the woman {empire} drunk with the blood of saints, and of martyrs, and of Jesus.” And when I saw her I wondered greatly.

     7 But the angel said, “Why do you wonder? I’ll tell you the mystery of the woman (the $ity) and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.” {She rode the beasts, soon one, to all seven hills/continents.}

     8 “The beast you saw was, then is not, and is destined to rise from the abyss” {of potential that imperfect is?} “and go to its destruction.” {History repeats, first was the Roman Empire later ‘Holy’ Roman Empire; then a modern last days “was, wasn’t ..then was again” after the 13:13 event, an event carried out by an oFFice.}

     “And those upon earth whose names are not {yet} written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder, seeing the beast that was, and is not, and then is.

    9 This all calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated. {Seven hills/continents.} 10 They are also seven kings {world empires?} five have fallen, one is (Rome and all Roman based? During which there is “wars to the end” Dan.9:26) the other (global) has not yet come and when he/it does come, it must remain only a little while.” {Alas, though lauded as peace, peace! will only last seven years? And be broken in the middle against Israel (Luke 19:41,44?) Then - Dan.12:11 - “1,290 days later - that is 3.5 hebrew calendar years plus 30 days later - will be set up the (final) abomination which causes desolation” ..This time upon the human temple meant for God’s Spirit/Presence? 1Corinthians 3:16 - “know you not, you are a temple of God?” And then, next verse, Dan.12:12 - “blessed is the one/those who wait, and come to, the days, 1,335” which is 45 days later? The last “ten days” escalating to most critical-Rev.2:10? “until the end that is decreed is poured out..” Dan.9:27.}

🗝️s New Testament & Bible prophecy study, verses paraphrased [ ] references { } thots

 • Romans 10:1-10  Matthew 13:44-58 and Rev.17:1-10 separately


           ☀️ Romans 10:1-10

1 - My heart's desire and my prayer to God for my countrymen is for their salvation. 2 For I (Paul) bear witness about them, that they have a genuine zeal for God! But not according to accurate knowledge. 3 For not understanding the righteousness of God, they are seeking to achieve their own righteousness, and are missing the mark by not submitting to God, and his righteousness. 4 The end and reason [telos - the end-aim] of the Law is Christ, the true righteousness to everyone who believes. {Receives.}

     5 Moses wrote about the righteousness that’s anchored upon the law {external and society preservative} that the person who does the commandments shall live by them.

     6 But the righteousness based upon faith {internal} says, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” that is, to bring Christ down {to ones self? I will do it!} 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” that is, to bring Christ up from the dead! 8 But what does it say? “The word/message is near you. It’s in your heart and on your tongue” that is, the word of faith that we proclaim. 9 For if you say “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart {know} that God raised him from the dead, you are saved! {Name written in the “Lamb’s Book of Life”.}

     10 For with the heart we believe and are freely justified and saved, and we find ourselves speaking it. [“Sozo” - saved, safe, rescued, delivered]. {Sealed by God’s Spirit/Presence.. the true baptism is “of the Spirit whereby we cry abba Father! The seal (notary) and guarantee that we are his” Romans 8:15-16. “He has set his seal of ownership upon us, which is his Spirit in our heart, the deposit, down payment, pledge, and guarantee of all that is to come” 2 Corinthians 1:22.}


            🌙 Matthew 13:44-58

44 - (Jesus continues.) “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure! Treasure that’s hidden in a field. And when someone finds it, they’ll cover it over again, and in joy go and sell all they have and will then go and buy that field.” 

    45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 and when he finds one of great value, he’ll sell all he has so he can buy that one pearl.

      47 And again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that’s thrown into the sea and gathers fish of every kind. 48 And when it’s full, men draw the net to shore and sort the fish, keeping the good and throwing back the bad. 49 So it will be at the end of the age” {harvest, fruits ripened}. The angels will come and separate the evil [poneros - bad, evil, malicious] from among [mesos - midst, middle, among] the righteous [dikaios - righteous, just, upright, fair] 50 and will throw them into the fiery furnace.” {The fiery judgment that is simultaneous with Jesus’ return surely(?) is the armageddon battle. Also is where there is a first mention of a lake of fire. (All three mentions are at large, fiery events.) This fiery furnace at history’s culmination cannot be an afterlife fiery forever pit ruled by Satan&co.. For those not saved during this life rise a thousand years later into GWT judgment ‘day’. For duration, see Rev.20 and the Fall holy days of Lev.23. Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32, because “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10. But at history’s conclusion and world’s judgment, armageddon, Rev.10:4..}

     “There will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.” {Results, consequences, judgment.}

    51 “Have you understood all these things?” They answered, “Yes.”

     52 “Everyone who’s been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the head of a household, who brings out of their supplies, treasure, both old and new.” [The bread and wine.. the personified logos (Jesus) and the written logos - logos means “reasoning, message, word” and is the root word of Logic. (2Tim.3:16)]

     53 And when Jesus had finished these parables, he left there, 54 and coming to his hometown, he was teaching in the synagogue. The people were surprised and were saying, “Where did he get this wisdom and these mighty works? 55 Isn’t this the carpenter's son? Isn’t his mother named Mary? And aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56 And don’t all his sisters live here? Where then did he get all this?”

     57 And they were offended at him. But Jesus said, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own household.” 58 And he was not able to do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief. (We have letters which were written later by his brothers, James and Jude.)

02-15 - Ro-9 Mt-13

🗝️s New Testament & Bible prophecy study, verses paraphrased [ ] references { } thots

 • Romans 9:27-33  Matthew 13:31-43


           ☀️ Romans 9:27-33

27 - Isaiah cried out concerning Israel, “Though the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, only a remnant will be delivered [sozo - saved, healed, preserved, delivered, rescued] 28 for the Lord will carry out his sentence {cause and effect} upon the earth, fully and without delay.” {We have assumed earthly judgments to be forever and eternal judgments, but the word involved is usually aion, root of eon, and means age, or aionion, of an age. Forever, and afterlife, is assumed due to ancient pre biblical belief.}

    29 And also Isaiah predicted, “If the LORD of hosts had not left us descendants, we would have been like Sodom and become like Gomorrah.” {Awaiting resurrection into GWT judgment/full discernment ‘day’ surely the aionion kolasis / eonian korrection of Mt.25:46.}

     30 What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who didn’t pursue righteousness, have attained it! That is, a righteousness that is by faith. 31 But Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness missed the mark in reaching that goal.

     32 Why? Because they didn’t pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on {their own} works {effort, earning}. They have stumbled over the stone that makes people stumble. {Life is a Gift.} 33 Even as it’s written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock that offends. And whoever believes in him will not be confounded, blamed nor shamed.”


            🌙 Matthew 13:31-43

31 - Jesus told another parable, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed we plant in a garden. 32 It’s the smallest of seeds, but when it grows, it’s larger than all the other plants. So much so, that birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”

     33 And he told yet another parable. “The kingdom is like leaven a woman works into three measures of flour, until - all/the whole is leavened.” {13:33 with 1Corinthians 15:22-28, key word 3. Three Loaves! Three Harvests!! Barley/Christ; the wheat; aNd a grape harvest, Rev.21:5 “pas” means “all” not “all things”. Compare (1Cor.15) 27 to 28! Same word seven times, pas/all, so why only five rendered the inferior “all things”? Disbelief of the genuine message? And also because of ancient spiritual propaganda?}

     34 All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables. He didn’t tell them anything about the kingdom, except by parables. 35 This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet, “I will open my mouth in parables.” {Riddles! Things hidden in plain sight!} “I’ll utter what’s been hidden since the beginning/founding of the world.”

     36 When he left the crowds and went into the house, his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.” 37 So He told them, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world. {The field is the world.} The good seed is the sons and daughters of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons and daughters (still) of the evil one” {this world, under sway of the evil intentioned one}. 39 And the enemy who sowed is the devil.” [Speiró - sow, scatter.]

     “The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40 Just as the weeds are gathered and burned in a fire, so will it be at the end of the age.” {Judgment ‘Day’ is not until much later, Rev.20. There are three mentions of “lake of fire”. Each one is at a huge, fiery and earthly event. Things are being let to run their full course.}

     41 “And the Son of Man will send his angels, and they’ll gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all practicing of lawlessness. 42 They will be thrown into the fiery furnace.” {That fiery furnace, I am convinced is Rev.16:14-15-16, Is.24:20, Rev.10:4, especially considering context.} “There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

 • Romans 9:19-26  Matthew 13:18-30


           ☀️ Romans 9:19-26

19 - You might say to me (Paul) “Why does God then find fault? For who can resist his will!?” {Concerning those he doesn’t yeT call.} 20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will the clay say to the potter, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Has the potter no right to his clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel as sacred and another as common (for daily use)? 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath [orge - passion] {cause and effect/truth like gravity, isn’t made to be broken} and to make known his power, has endured with much patience, vessels of wrath going to ruin [apóleia - ruin, loss, destruction] 23 in order to make clearly known the riches of his glory! The glory to be seen upon vessels of mercy, which he makes ready for revelation and the revealing of that glory {state}. 24 The glory to which he has called us, both Hebrews/Jews, and Gentiles. 25 As indeed he says in Hosea, “Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’ and she [nations] who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’”

     26 “Yes in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons and daughters of the living God.’”

     {Prophecy is fulfilled from partial scope to FuLL scope! From Israel -> to the wheat -> to (during GWT ‘Day’) the still tares - “Yes in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons and daughters of the living God” — Outline EIGHT millennia - the Week plus 1 - and the outline within that one -> the Spring and Fall holy days of Leviticus 23 as 1st so brief advent (Spring) and long 2nd advent (Autumn) a fuller version of his 1st?}


            🌙 Matthew 13:18-30

18 - Jesus continued, “Hear then the meaning of the parable of the sower, 19 When someone hears the good news of the kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in their heart. This is the seed that was sown along the pathway. 20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is when someone hears the message and receives it with joy. 21 Yet they have no root within theirself, and so they endure only a while, and when trouble or persecution arises on account of it” {the Kingdom versus man’s world; God’s creation versus mankind’s creation upon it} “they soon fall away.

     22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is when someone hears, but the cares of the world and the lure of worldly things and riches choke the message, and it becomes unfruitful.

     23 But the seed that falls on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. And they indeed bear fruit, and yield, sometimes a hundredfold, sometimes sixty, and sometimes thirtyfold.”

     24 Then he told them another parable, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man sowing good seed in his field. 25 But! While his men were sleeping, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and then stole back away. 26 And later, when the wheat came up and was bearing grain, the weeds were there too. 27 And the servants of the master/mister of the house came and said, ‘Master! Wasn’t it good seed you sowed in your field! Why are there all these many weeds?’ 28 He answered, ‘An enemy has done this!’

     So the servants said, ‘Do you want us to go and gather out the weeds?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, for in taking out the weeds, you might also pull up some of the wheat. 30 Let them grow together until harvest. Then at harvest time, I’ll say to the reapers ‘Gather, first, the weeds in bundles’ {armies rev.16:14-15-16} ‘to be burned.’” {In a bonfire, we don’t burn garden weeds in a forever subterranean fiery pit. At this point is the first mention of a lake of fire.} “‘But gather the wheat into my barn.’” {Through the door of the ten bridesmaids parable, Mt.25:1-13. To serve called reigning during long second advent, full scope version of his first so brief one?}

ACTS 16-20-40

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

     Book of the Acts of the First Believers

20 - And when they had brought Paul and Silas to the authorities, they said, “These men are Jews/Hebrews and they are disturbing our city! 21 They’re teaching customs that aren’t lawful for us as Romans!”

     22 The crowd joined in attacking them, so the magistrates tore their garments and gave orders to have them beaten with rods. 23 And when they had beat them with many blows, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to keep them securely locked up. 24 So the jailer put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

     25 At about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake. The foundations of the prison were shaken, all the doors were opened and everyone's bonds were loosened. {Praise can break chains.}

     27 When the jailer woke and saw the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. (That was the penalty.) 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!” 29 And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?!”

     31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32 And they spoke the word of the LORD to him and to all who were in the house. 33 And the jailer the same hour of the night, cleansed their wounds. And he and all his family were baptized. 34 Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household to be believing in God.

     35 But then when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying, “Let those men go.” 36 And the jailer reported it to Paul, saying, “The leaders have sent to let you go. Therefore come out and go in peace.” 37 But Paul said, “They have beaten us publicly, men who were not condemned and who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison! And now do they throw us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and let us out.”

     38 The officers reported this to the magistrates, who were afraid when they found out they were Roman citizens. 39 So they came and apologized and led them out and asked them to leave the city. 40 So they went out of the prison and went to Lydia’s house. And when they had seen the believers, and encouraged them, they departed.

 • Romans 9:9-18  Matthew 13:1-17 and ACTS 16:20-40 separately


           ☀️ Romans 9:9-18

9 - For this is what the promise to Abraham was: “About this time next year I will return, and Sarah shall have a son.” 10 And not only so, but when Rebekah had conceived children by our forefather Isaac, 11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good nor bad - in order that God's purpose of election {HiS choosing} might continue, not because of works {not because any are better or worse} but because of he who calls {assigns one of two roles} - 12 she was told, “The older (Esau) will serve the younger (Jacob).” 13 As it’s written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I loved less” [miseó - hate, detest, love less, esteem less]. {Logic - “God iS love” 1Jn.4:8.}

     {Romans 11:32 - “God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all.” But some are “firstfruits”. Why? Choices other than God’s are being let to run their course, which is both entropy and history to their full conclusion, both individual and collective. Rather than we being some sort of ant farm, it was engineered that all undertake this unavoidable journey through this all important contrast, all together at once, with some being corrected (kolasin) now who will serve called reigning during the Lord’s long second advent? Surely(?) a full scope version of his first so brief one. As it iS GOD who chooses WHEN one believes, is reconciled to Him, and goes through the process of correction to full discernment/judgment. Jn.5:28-29 - Jesus said “an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs [mnémeion - grave, sepulchre, tomb, place of interment] will hear his voice and will come forth, those causing good to the resurrection of life and those practicing evil to the resurrection of judgment/discernment/review/closure for all, the “aionion-kolasis” / eonian-korrection / age of correction, Mt.5:48.}

    14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! 15 For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” {Like assigning roles.. “all the world’s a stage” - Shakespeare. “And the ancient of days took his seat..” Dan.7:9.}

     16 So then - it depends not upon human will, or exertion and effort, but depends upon God. And his mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power, and that my name [onoma - name, character, fame, reputation, cause] might be made known in all the earth.” 18 So then he has mercy on whom he wills, and hardens {or keeps hard} whomever he wills. [Hard - sklērýnō – hardened, inflexible, literally - dried out.] {To be “called, etc” during this lifetime is a lucky shake of the heavenly dice?}


            🌙 Matthew 13:1-17

1 - A while later that same day, Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. 2 A great crowd gathered around him, so many that he got into a boat and sat down, and while the crowd stood on the beach, 3 he told them many things in parables, saying, “A sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate up the seed. 5 Other seed fell on rocky ground and sprang up quickly, but because there was no depth of soil, 6 when the sun rose high, they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns {of life} grew up and choked them off. 8 But some seed fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirtyfold. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

     10 Then the disciples came, and they asked him, “Why do you talk to the people in parables?” 11 And he answered, “To you it’s been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it hasn’t been given. 12 And to the one who has, more will be given, and they’ll have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what they have will be lost. 13 This is why I speak in parables, because seeing no one sees, and hearing no one hears, nor understands”. {Mortal person cannot understand until God calls.. and “the seed” Jesus is implanted in them, and God waters and nourishes it.} 14 “Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says, ‘You will indeed hear but not understand, and you will indeed see but not perceive. 15 For the heart has grown dull, and with ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’ [Isaiah 6:9-10]

     16 But - blessed - are your eyes, for they are seeing, and your ears, for they are hearing. 17 For truly, I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you now see, and didn’t see it, and to hear what you now hear, and didn’t hear it.”

02-12 - Ro-9 Mt-12

🗝️s New Testament & Bible prophecy study, verses paraphrased [ ] references { } thots

 • Romans 9:1-8  Matthew 12:46-50


            ☀️ Romans 9:1-8

1 -  I (Paul) am speaking the truth in Christ - I’m not lying, my conscience bearing witness to me in God’s Holy Spirit - 2 that I have great sorrow and unending anguish in my heart! 3 I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers! My kinsmen according to the flesh. {‘Accursed’ - to rise into GWT judgment ‘day’ of kolasis/korrection/correction, separated from the “first resurrection” at the Lord’s (literal and full) appearing and return.}

     4 They’re Israelites! And to them belong the adoption! The glory! The covenants! The giving of the law, the worship, and the promises! 5 To them belong the patriarchs. And from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is over all, and God blessed forever. Amen and amen! {But alas.. the “human condition”.}

     6 But it’s not as though the word [logos - reasoning, word, message] {plan/working} of God has failed! For not all who are descended from Israel are belonging to {the spiritual, totality and ultimate} Israel. 7 And not all are children of Abraham because they are his (mortal) offspring. But as it’s written, “through Isaac shall your descendants be.” 8 This means it’s not the mortal person who is named as being a child of God {not the imperfect strayed self} but it’s the children {and self} of the promise who are counted/named as the children.


           🌙 Matthew 12:46-50

46 - While he was still speaking to the crowd of people, word came that his mother and his brothers were outside, asking to speak to him. 48 But he replied, “Who is my mother? And who are my brothers?” 49 And gesturing to his disciples, followers and students, he said, “Here, these are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” {And then very likely he went out to them or had them brought in to him, being a good Jewish/Hebrew son and brother. This is like Israel, too.. Israel waits ‘outside’ during this “time of the gentiles/nations” sometimes called ‘the church age’ but now due to a “strong delusion” of “seating man/anthropoi in the temple as god”/highest power, society has largely “fallen away” (and into “lawlessness”) and will make human governing to be ‘god’ and ‘all powerful’.) Two concurrent gatherings? Mt.13:30 as Rev.16:13-14-15, siren call division with global effect called bowls/wrath, and (or to) Mt.25:1-13, “whoever does the will of My Father in heaven”.}
