   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

 • Philippians 1:1-8  Luke 18:1-8

            ☀️ Philippians 1:1-8

1 - Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,

To all the saints in Jesus, who are at Philippi, with the overseers [episkopos - from epi - over, and skopos - watcher or guardian] and deacons [diákonos - from diá - thoroughly, and konis - dust, properly, “thoroughly raise up dust(!) by moving quickly about”]

     2 Grace to you! And peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

     3 I thank my God in all my remembering of you! 4 Always in every prayer I pray for you, It is with joy. 5 This is because of our partnership in the gospel from the first day we met until now. 6 And I’m sure of this, that he who has begun a good work in you {us} will bring it to completion, at the day of Jesus Christ. [Hebrews11:40.]

     7 It is right for me to feel this way about you, because you’re in my heart, for you’re all partakers with me of this grace, both in my imprisonment and in this work of the defense and confirming of the gospel. 8 For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. {But if Paul had not been in jail, would we have these letters of his?}

            🌙 Luke 18:1-8

1 - Jesus told a parable to the effect that we ought always to pray and not lose heart, 2 “In a certain city” he said, “there was a judge who neither feared God nor man. 3 And in that same city was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary!’

     4 For a while he refused, but after a while, he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor man, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I’ll give her justice, so she’ll quit bothering me!’

     6 Do you hear what the unrighteous judge says? 7 Will God not give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he forever delay?” {Yet had he intervened and quit letting things run course, say in 1900, where would you and I be? ..Letting things run course because an ant farm is no paradise. Besides truth and reality is all that shall remain standing, and being 100% unfettered Genius, he is “savior of all” 1Tim.4:10. So he has mothing to lose. And just - how - do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? The dis-ease as part of the cure? Total Ant Farm versus Total ‘Herd’ Immunity?}

     8 “I tell you, he will give justice to them quickly” [tachu, same word transleted in Rev.22:7 as soon - behold I come quickly, to behold I am coming soon. To be fair both interpretations are possible. Makes us rely on the Spirit to guide?}

     “Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith upon earth?” {Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4. Mt.13:30 as Rev.16:14-15-16 and, oR Mt.25:1-13 to serving called reigning during long 2nd advent, full scope version of his 1st so brief one?}

 • Ephesians 6:19-24  Luke 17:11-19

            ☀️ Ephesians 6:19-24

19 - Pray also for me, that words may be given to me. That they come easily to mind and are readily spoken. So I remain bold to proclaim the mystery of the gospel! 20 The mystery for which I’m an ambassador in chains! That I may declare it boldly, as I ought to.

    21 And so you may know how I am and what I’m doing, Tychicus our beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything. 22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts.

     23 Peace be to you all, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus. 24 Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love imperishable.

            🌙 Luke 17:11-19

11 - As Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, he passed between Samaria and Galilee, 12 and as he was entering a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance 13 and cried out, “Jesus! Master! Have mercy on us!” {There he is! It’s our chance! We mustn’t miss it!} 14 When he saw them he told them to go and show themselves to the priests, and as they went, they were healed.

     15 Then one of them, a Samaritan, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. 16 And he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. 17 And Jesus said, “Wasn’t it ten who were cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 And he said to the man, “Rise up and go your way, your faith has made you well.” {We’re all foreigners and lepers and we will be very thankful, and fully realize how profoundly and totally blessed we are.}

 • Ephesians 6:10-18  Luke 17:1-10

         ☀️ Ephesians 6:10-18 𓂃 ོ✝︎𓂃

10 - Finally, brothers and sisters, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the evil one. 12 For it’s not against flesh and blood that we wrestle, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly sphere.

     13 Therefore take up the whole covering armor of God, that you may be able to withstand and stand firm in the evil day, and having done all, remain standing. [“The power at work in us, and for us, is the same power that rose Jesus out of the grave” Ephesians 1:19-20. “Hold fast to what you have.” {Faith, knowing.} “Let no one take thy crown!” Rev.3:11]

     14 Stand therefore! Having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness. 15 And as boots for your feet, put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. [“How beautiful are the feet of those who proclaim {share} - the gospel of peace” Isaiah 52.7]

     16 In all circumstances take up the mighty covering shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one.

     17 And take the helmet of salvation! And the sWord of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. And to that end, keep alert with all perseverance, praying for us all.

            🌙 Luke 17:1-10

1 - Jesus said to his disciples, “Temptations to sin/destructions, are sure to come. But woe to those through whom they come! 2 It would be better for them if a heavy millstone were hung around their neck and they be cast into the sea than that they should cause others to fall away, or a little one to stumble.

     3 So pay attention to yourself and the group. If your brother or sister falls into a sin, warn them. [Warn - epitimáō - earn to prevent.] And if they repent [metanoeo - think better and turn] forgive them.

     4 But also if they sin against you, as many times as seven times in a day, and then turn to you seven times, saying, ‘I’m sorry,’ you shall forgive.”

     5 The apostles said to the Lord {forgiving, free of wrath, etc. is the difference between disciple and apostle?} “Increase our faith!”

     And Jesus said, “If you had faith like a tiny grain of the mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.” {Have you ever tried to weed out and be rid of an unwanted Mulberry tree?}

     7 “Will any one of you who has a worker plowing or keeping sheep say to them when they come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’? 8 Will you not rather say to them, ‘Clean up, prepare supper for me, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’? 9 Does he thank the servant? {Though they should, they seldom do.} 10 So with you! When you have done all that you are commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy [axreíos – properly, unneeded, lacks usefulness] servants, we have only done what was our duty/work/employment to do.’” {God is 100% unfettered Genius and capability, our serving is our benefit, not His! We are not “all that” nor is it “all about moi”. And talents, gifts, fruit is from His Spirit/Presence.. is his forming, blueprint, design and enabling. We are drawn, inspired and enabled to ask, seek, knock.. pursue.. ⛲️🕊️is his blueprint. “And the lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow” Isaiah 11:7. “Knowledge of the LORD will cover the Earth, like the waters cover the sea” Habakkuk 2:14.}

REVELATION - 20 1-6

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

BOOK OF REVELATION

1 - Then I (John) saw an angel descending from heaven. He held in his hand the key to the abyss, and a great chain. 2 And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil [diabolos - devil, accuser, slanderer] and Satan [satanas - adversary] and bound him for a thousand years. {God has been permissive? letting things run course, even a semi ant farm is no paradise, so this ‘quick” unavoidable, all important one & done first, 1Tim.4:10.}

     3 And then the angel threw him into the abyss. {Imperfection/straying/going rogue is an abyss of potential.} And he shut it and sealed it over him, so he could not deceive the nations any longer, untiL, “the” thousand years are over.

     After that, he must be released for a little while. {Which will be for the first half of an “8th” millennium.. According to the pattern of the Fall holy days, Leviticus 23, and this chapter, although it’s portrayed like describing the crests of waves, but not much of the in between.}

     4 And I saw thrones. [Thronos - seats of authority, from thrao - to sit, or thranos - bench.] And those sitting [kathizó - sitting, settled, seated] upon them, and judgment was given them and those beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and the word [logos - message, reasoning expressed in words] of God, which did not worship the beast, or the image of it, and didn’t take its mark [xáragma - brand-mark, originally any impress on a coin or seal used by an engraver on a die (stamp, branding iron) and later became an identification-marker, an owner's unique brand-mark] upon their forehead and hand, and they live and reign with Christ a thousand years. (Help from biblehub dot com’s interlinear with links to the original words and their meanings.)

     5 The rest of the dead do not live again until the thousand years are completed. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed [makarios - blessed, happy, fortunate] and holy [hagios - holy, sacred, set apart] are those who have a part {& role?} in the first resurrection! Over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests [hiereus - ministers in priestly office] {minister what to whom?} of God and of Christ, and they will reign [basileúō - exercise dominion] with him {for/during} the thousand years. {And during GWT judgment ‘day’? Serving called reigning..}

 • Ephesians 6:4-9  Luke 16:16-31 and separately Rev.20:1-6

            ☀️ Ephesians 6:4-9

4 - Fathers, don’t be the kind of parent your children will hate and be angry toward! But do bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the LORD.

     5 Bondservants [working off a borrowing of money or land usage] work for and serve your earthly masters with respect. With a sincere heart, as you would for Christ, 6 not as a people pleaser, in phoniness, but as true servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. 7 Rendering service with good will as to the Lord and not to man, 8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, they’ll receive back from the Lord, whether one is a bondservant or is free. 9 And misters, do the same to them, don’t be threatening and intimidating. Know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and with him there’s no partiality.

            🌙 Luke 16:16-31

16 - Answering the Pharisees, Jesus said, “The Law and the Prophets were until John. But since then, the good news of the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and all [pas - every, the whole, all] press in. 17 But it’s easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of the pen of the law to fail”.     18 “A man who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and a man who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.”

     {Following the Law - first contract - greatLy benefits! But isn’t what delivers out from death/hades/gone. “The wage/result of hamartia - missing the mark, is death” Romans 6:23. Because God iS Life and “is perfect” Mt.5:48. And no option to stray in Eden and we’d be an ant farm.”}

     19 Jesus told a story, a parable, “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen. And every day he feasted extravagantly. 20 Yet all the while at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, who even was covered with sores from being malnourished. 21 He thought if only he could be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores, 22 until the poor man died, and was carried {past millennia?} by the angels to Abraham's bosom. {The Light.}

     And the rich man also, died and was buried. 23 And being in torment in hades. {Not in the Light? In the inner, outside of the Light, darkness, gnashing of teeth.} He looked and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side!

     24 And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me! Send Lazarus to dip his finger in water and cool my dry, parched tongue, for I’m in anguish in this fiery torment.’” {Jn.12:32, Jesus “will draw all” and so the neglectful rich man who let Lazarus die at his gate, is sure to begin to progress toward the weeping.. beating self up “with many stripes”.. heartfelt remorse.. until perceiving Christ Crucified, strong enough to appease eveRy conscience, needed because imperfection is an abyss of potential. And we can only trick the psyche for so long.}

     25 “But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received good things, and Lazarus bad things. But now he’s comforted, and you’re in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you is a great gulf {mortal to having “put on immortality/perfection”} in order that those who would pass from here to you can’t, and none may cross from there to us.’ 27 And the (formerly) rich man said, ‘Then I beg you, father, send him to my father's house, 28 for I have five brothers, so he may warn them, lest they also come into this place [topos - location, region, opportunity, figuratively condition] of torment.’

     29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets, let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent [matanoeo - think better and turn].’ 31 He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”

04-03 - Eph-5,6 Lk-16

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

 • Ephesians 5:28-6:3  Luke 16:1-15

            ☀️ Ephesians 5:28-6:3

28 - In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own selves. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For what man hates his own body? Instead he nurtures and cherishes it, as does Christ the church. 30 This is because we are members of his body. {So man and wife is one body, and who mistreats his own body?} 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall be one.”

     32 This mystery is profound, and what I’m saying, is that it refers to Christ, and the church. 33 However, let each husband love his wife as himself, and let the wife respect her husband.

     6:1 - Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”. This is the first commandment with a promise, 3 “that it may go well with you and you may live long in the land.” {See? The Law/Principles are not done away with, yet even should they be kept perfectly, it would not earn anyone Life. Both Life and redemption/restoration, are gifts. The “handwriting of ordinances against us, which was blotted out, and nailed to the cross” was the legal charges (so to speak) that were against us. We have been pardoned, and declared innocent. One way of thinking about it is the debt was paid. It was no easy dismissal! Not leniency. It was amnesty and a new leaf! Not only relief from a death sentence, but the judge himself has adopted us! And showered us with gifts and blessings.. And more so after this life which is still part school of hard knocks. And “the Law” we must follow is to love God. If we do, we wiLL love and have genuine affection for our fellow person, and will not harm, rob and cheat, etc. Not to be confused with approving of all things done under the sun. To teach that is to shipwreck others, as is “mixing law with grace” and is to pollute temples of God (1Cor.3:11-17) and miss the boat.. until later. Days and foods - see Acts 15:5-31, Romans 14:5-23, and Galatians 4 - are up to individual convictions. “Let us pursue what makes for peace..” Romans 14:19.}

            🌙 Luke 16:1-15

1 - Jesus taught the disciples, telling them another parable, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that he was mismanaging the rich man’s affairs and resources. 2 So he called him in and said, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in the management accounts, for I can no longer trust you as manager.’

     3 And the {unjust} manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do? My master is taking the management away from me. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg. 4 I know what I’ll do, so when I’m removed from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’ 5 So, he called his master's debtors one by one, and said to the first, ‘How much do you owe?’ 6 He answered him, ‘I owe your mister’s estate a hundred measures of oil.’ The shrewd {tricky with other’s money meant for upkeep} said to him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly and write fifty.’ {Let’s falsify the books.} 7 Then he called another and said, ‘And how much do you owe the master?’ To which he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ So the {bad and dishonest} manager said, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’

     8 The {mortal, worldly} master applauded the dishonest manager for his shrewdness. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with each other, than the sons of light are. 9 And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal [aionion/eonian] tents.

   10 One who is faithful in little is also faithful in much. And, one who is dishonest in a little, is also dishonest in much. {Lie once? Oh wolf talking a good talk.} 11 If then you {they} have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?

     12 And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's {oh managers, administrators, human government, etc.} who will grant you that which is your own? 13 And no manager can serve two masters. He will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and - despise - the other. {“If possible even (some of) the elect/genuine will be misled.”} No one can serve {revere} both God and money {and selF interest}.”

     14 The Pharisees, who love money, heard all this, and were scoffing and ridiculing him. 15 But he said to them, “You are those who justify and make much of yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is praised among man is not worth much in the sight of God.
