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.

 • Romans 10:16-21  John 6:1-13


           ☀️ Romans 10:16-21

(Paul is grieved because the majority of his kinsmen are not understanding the message. Though it had been written about by the Hebrew prophets, what we know of, as part of the Old Testament.) 16 - But they have not all obeyed the message of God, the gospel [euaggelion - gospel, GOOD news]. For Isaiah says, “LORD, who has believed our report?!” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the words [rhema - utterance] of Christ. 18 But I ask, have they heard? Indeed, “the voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” 19 But I ask, did Israel understand? {Outer law/rules couldn’t work for even one nation. Couldn’t work with the first pair. So what is God’s other options for creation? How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? For thinking includes at least some power of choice. God as Life, witnesses and lives through all that ever occurs, and he endowed thinking and reasoning anyway!}

     First Moses says, “I will make you jealous by those not a nation. By a nation without understanding I will make you angry.” 20 And later Isaiah is so bold as to say, “I have been found by those who didn’t look for me. I’ve made myself known to those who didn’t ask for me.” 21 But of Israel he says, “All day long I’ve held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.” {Israel, smaller scope, humanity, full scope -> pattern of prophecy, and more.} {Was western civilization more or less God’s.. Some of the west has “fallen away”? We have seated ourselves (mankind) in the temple as god”/highest power.. and so the old gods are returning. Same pattern.. Abraham called to a new land.. amidst seriously warring tribes.. over time and turmoil.. a nation, named for God. Christianity sprouted wings as well {rev.12:6,14} and formed western civilization.. Wasn’t perfect, but there was freedom from overlords.. Everything goes corrupt. Institutions start out good. They get infiltrated and highjacked, a corrupt process. The light of God, his Spirit/Presence is a shield against darkness.. But only as perfect as we are! Therefor can be, or become a weak shield? How much of his Presence is with us?

     The trend of the world is division. A whole other energy.}


            πŸŒ™ John 6:1-13

1 - After this Jesus crossed over to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias. 2 A large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs he was doing and how he healed the sick. 3 He went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. 4 It was the  days (week and feast) of Passover (or also called week of Unleavened Bread). 5 Seeing a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so all these people may eat?” 6 He said this to test and to teach, for he knew what he was about to do.

     7 Philip thought about it and said, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for each to have a little!” 8 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said, 9 “There’s a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what is that to so many?”

     10 They were in a field of grass, so Jesus told the disciples to tell the people to sit down. And so they did, about five thousand men, and women and children. {Yes women were not counted, remember God had told Eve (prophesied) the stronger would ruLe the weaker. Because straying is imperfection/entropy, and an abyss of potential, so all range of misdeeds and oppressions were bound to occur. And self first and foremost is bound to (especially in power and politics) be dog eat dog.}

     11 Jesus took the loaves they had, gave {an offering and sacrifice of} thanks. {Dan.12:11! w/ Lk.19:41,44?}  And they distributed the bread to those who were seated. So also with the fish, and everyone ate as much as they wanted.

     12 When they had finished, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing be lost.” 13 So they gathered up the left over pieces, filling twelve baskets with fragments from the five - barley - loaves. {Parable by numbers, even we basket cases will be saved. Trivia - the barley harvest in Israel is the first of three main harvests, a shadow and type of Mt.13:33, key word 3, with 1Cor.15:22-24,27-28 - and in vs  27-28, the five “all things” in vs 27, should read “all” like the two in vs 28. And then, what does the verse repeat five times?}

 • Romans 10:11-15  Matthew 14:1-14


           ☀️ Romans 10:11-15

11 - For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be shamed.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek {between hebrew and former practicing pagan} for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call upon him. 13 For “everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord is saved.”

     14 How then will someone call upon him, if they don’t believe he is? And how can they believe he is, if they’ve never heard of him? And how are they to hear without someone telling them? 15 And how are they to tell it, unless they’re sent? As it’s written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who tell the GOOD news!” {Father in heaven “is Perfect” Mt.5:48 - 100% good news.}


            πŸŒ™ Matthew 14:1-14

[To be tetrarch was to be a leader/ruler over a fourth part of a region - tetra, a fourth, and arch, ruler.] At about that time, Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus, 2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist! He’s been raised from the dead! This is why these miracles are happening.” 3 For Herod had seized John, chained him and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, 4 because John had said to him, “It’s not lawful for you to have her.” {I read both Herod and Philip were Herodias’ uncles.} 5 And though he wanted to put him to death (previously having listened to him) he feared the people, because they held him as a prophet. {Herod was a son of Herod the Great, and was a Hebrew.} 6 But when Herod's birthday came around, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company and pleased Herod, 7 so much so that he promised, with an oath, to give her whatever she might ask. 8 So she asked her mother what she should ask for. And Herodias said “Ask for the head of John the Baptist to be brought to us on a platter!”

     9 The king was sorry when he heard it, but because of his oath and his guests who heard it, he commanded it to be done. 10 And sent and had John beheaded in the prison. 11 And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

     12 John’s disciples came and took the body and buried it, and then they went and told Jesus what had happened. (Mary, though much younger, was a relative of Elizabeth, John’s mother. So Jesus and John were related. John was six months older than Jesus.)

     13 And when Jesus was told, he withdrew from there by boat to go to a lonely place by himself. But when the crowds heard of it, they hurriedly followed on foot from all the towns.

     14 And when he came to shore he saw a great crowd and felt compassion for them. And all their sick [Γ‘rrhōstos - from A - not, and rhαΉ“nnymi - leave, depart; properly, a persisting illness – literally "that will not leave" chronic ill-health] he healed.

No Option To Stray

I think of how Jesus said, “All those in the tombs/graves will hear God’s voice and will come forth” (from the graves/tombs) “some into the resurrection of life” - which would be into THE millennium, to serve called reigning? During his long second advent. A full scope version of his so brief first one?

 And some, in the resurrection into (the GWT) judgment”/discernment/review/closure for all (‘day’) - Jn.5:28-29, part of his long, second advent, and which elsewhere He calls “kolasin aionion” or “korrection eonian”  - Mt.25:46. An age of correction! But translated as ‘forever punishment’.

     Logically, this will be the completing of John 12:32? - Jesus “will draw all”. Inner, initial conditions of some portrayed in the rich man, poor man parable, and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22.

     It being a matter of had there been no option to stray in Eden, we’d be an ant farm?! But God is Life, and “is perfect” (Mt.5:48) so to stray is imperfection and entropy. This unavoidable, all important contrast, a slow gehenna fade that isn’t put out and doesn’t quit.

     So it’s Ant Farm versus this one and done, the dis-ease as part of the cure? And immunity..

    Being Life, every spark and breath of, means he lives through and suffers all that ever occurs. Yes? And endowed genuine thinking and reasoning ability anyway! Engineered this ‘quick’ one and done. Issue being? How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, and keep paradise/perfection intact?

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 [pornΓ© - probably from pernΓ©mi - to export for sale] and of all Earth's Abominations [bdΓ©lygma - from bdelΓ½ssō, 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.}

πŸ—️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.}


            πŸŒ™ 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

πŸ—️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.”


            πŸŒ™ 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.” [SpeirΓ³ - 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 [apΓ³leia - 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?}


            πŸŒ™ 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?}
