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

All, in translation, was changed to all things.

Jesus said he “will draw all” Jn.12:32.

A work finished during his long

REVELATION - 22 3-21

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

BOOK OF REVELATION

3 - And there shall be no more curse nor cursed (accursed) for all [pas - all] curse [katanáthema  - from katá - according to, down, which intensifies anáthema - a curse – properly, an oath-curse which "devotes something to destruction" literally, to take it down] shall no longer be.

     And the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it (the New Jerusalem) and his servants will serve him. [Latreia - from latris - render technical, acceptable service because qualified.] 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. (No more ‘mystery babble’/all confusion on the forehead of the world.) 5 And by-night will be no more. They will not need the light of a lamp nor of the sun, for the Lord God will be the light of them, and (so) they will reign [basileuó - exercise dominion] (over creation and well being, not over others, lol) age to age.

     6 “These words are faithful and true” the angel said, “and the Lord God of the spirits [pneuma: wind, breath, spirit] of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must come to pass in quickness [tachu - quickly, speedily]”.

     7 “And behold, I come quickly [tachu]. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

     8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw all these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, 9 but he said, “You mustn’t do that! I’m a fellow servant with you and the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

     10 Then he told me, “Don’t seal up the words of this book of prophecy, for the time is near at hand. {Entropy is ever progressing.} 11 The ones being unrighteous, let them be unrighteous still. (Until then! And INITIALLY during GWT judgment/discernment/review/closure for all ‘Day’.) And the ones who are vile, let them be vile still. (Until then! And INITIALLY during GWT ‘day’.) And those being righteous, let them practice righteousness still, and those who are holy let there be so still. [Holy - hagios - the fundamental (core, basic) meaning of hagios is "different" – thus a temple in the 1st century was hagios - holy, sacred because different from other buildings; different from the world because like the Lord - biblehub dot com.] 12 “Behold, I’m coming quickly, bringing with me what’s due [misthos - pay for service, literally or figuratively, good or bad] to repay each for what they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. 14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so they may have right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates. 15 Outside (now, and initially during GWT ‘day’) are the dogs and sorcerers [pharmakos - poisoner, sorcerer, magician] and the sexually immoral [pornos] and murderers and idolaters [eidólolatrés - an image worshiper] and everyone loving and making/doing a lie. 16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you these things to the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”

     17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And the one hearing let them say come. And the one thirsting let them come, and the one desiring, let them take the water of life freely. 18 And I testify to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described. 19 And if anyone should take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in what is described in this (Rev.) book, the share out of the New Jerusalem and out of the tree of life (the healing of the nations). 20 And He who is testifying of these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen. 

                The End.

📜🗞️ The revelation vision is told 3 times: 6:1-2 to 11:19; chap.12 w/ Mt.23:39; and 13:1 to 19:11, the three rejoining at the 7th trumpet’s sounding.

Jesus’ brief first advent perfectly fulfilled the ancient Spring Holy Days, more perfectly than is easily seen. So logically his long second advent will fulfill the Autumn Holy Days, their names and pattern:

  TRUMPETS (of Rev, return at 7th during the concurrent bowls) - 10days/1000yrs - to ‘DAY’ oF ATONEMENT - 5days/500yrs - to TABERNACLES — a fiery regenesis, “All new.. God will now tabernacle with mankind” Rev.21:1-5.

 • 1 Peter 5:1-7  John 16:1-16 and Rev. 22:3-21 separately

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Peter 5:1-7

1 - So I urge the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and as a witness of the sufferings of Christ - as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed - 2 shepherd the flock of God that you’re among, exercising oversight, not as an unpleasant duty, but genuinely, as God would have it. And not for shameful gain, but with genuine interest and concern.

     3 Not domineering over those in your charge! But as examples to the Lord’s flock. 4 And then when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. {Of Life, not metal.}

     5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders, but all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another. For “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 6 So humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so at the proper time he may exalt you. 7 And cast all your cares upon him, because he cares for you.

            🌙 P.M. John 16:1-16

1 - “Behold” (listen) “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. 2 They will put you out of the meetings and groups. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think they’re offering service to God! [“A service to offer the god.”] 3 And they will do these things because they’ve not known the Father, nor me. 4 But I’ve said these things to you, so when the hour comes you’ll remember I told you of them.

     I didn’t say these things to you before, because I was with you. 5 But now I’m going to he who sent me, and now none of you ask me, ‘Where are you going?’

     6 But because I’ve said these things, sorrow has filled your hearts. 7 Yet, I tell you the truth, it’s to your advantage that I go away. Because if I don’t go away, the helper/sustainer won’t come to you.” {The born again breath of Life, the enabler, source of all blessing and glory.}

     “Of which, if I go, I will send to you. 8 And when he” {the Shekinah} “comes, he will convince the world concerning sin [hamartia - missing the mark] and concerning righteousness and judgment. 9 Concerning sin, because they don’t believe in me, 10 concerning righteousness, because I’mp going to the Father, and you won’t see me any more. 11 Concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

     12 I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When he comes, the spirit of truth, he will guide you into all truth, for he won’t speak of himself, but whatever {there} is to hear, he will speak, and {the} things coming will declare to you. 14 He will honor and bestow glory upon me. And that which is mine, he will make known to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine. That’s why I say he will reveal to you what is mine. 16 A little while now, and you won’t see me. Then a little while, and you’ll see me again.”

 • 1 Peter 4:9-19  John 15:18-27 

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Peter 4:9-19

9 - Show hospitality to one another without grudging. 10 For as each has received a gift - use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace. 11 Whoever speaks, be as one who speaks the oracles of God. Whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God gives. This is in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion age to age. Amen.

     12 Beloved, don’t be surprised at the fieRy trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice, as you share Christ's sufferings, you also will rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14 If you’re insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, as a thief, or as an evildoer, or a meddler. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let them not be ashamed, but let them glorify God in the Lord’s name [onoma - name, character, fame, reputation, cause]. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God. And if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who don’t obey the gospel (good news) of God? {Not an ‘eternal’ outcome, but earthly, like the rest of ones life, it being cause and effect.} 18 And “If the righteous are saved [sózó - saved, rescued, delivered, healed, preserved] with difficulty, where will the ungodly and sinner appear?” {At DOA for the initially doa! 1Pet.4:6 “And to this end, indeed! That even to the dead, the good news is announced” ..during second half of the “8th day”/millennium, the GWT judgment/discernment/review/closure for all ‘Day’. But Rev.20 is told like describing only the crests of waves and not much of the in between.}

      19 Therefore let those who suffer according [kata - according to, down, throughout, by, against] God's will, entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while continuing to do good.

            🌙 P.M. John 15:18-27

18 - “If the world hates you, know it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would accept you as its own. But because you’re not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, the world does not accept you. 20 Remember how I said to you, ‘A servant isn’t greater than their master.’ If they persecuted me, they’ll persecute you. If they kept my word, they’ll keep yours.

     21 But all these things they’ll do to you on account of my name, because they don’t know he who sent me. 22 If I hadn’t come and spoken to them, they wouldn’t have been guilty, but now they have no cover.

     23 Whoever hates me hates my Father also.

  24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else has done, they would not be guilty, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 And the scripture written in The Law is fulfilled, ‘They hated me without a cause.’

     26 “But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit{/Presence of God} and Truth, which proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me. 27 And you disciples of mine will also bear witness [martureó - testify, give evidence, affirm what one has seen, heard, or experienced] because you have been with me from the beginning.” {Of his first so brief advent.}

 • 1 Peter 4:1-8  John 15:1-17

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Peter 4:1-8

1 - Since Jesus suffered in this life, arm yourselves with the same thinking, for whoever has suffered in this life, has ceased from habitual wrongdoing, 2 and strives to live for the rest of the time in this life, no longer for things humans are passionate for, but is now passionate for the will of God.

     3 For the time is past and suffices for doing what the nations {natural, imperfect mankind} want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and all the lawlessness which idolatry {misdirected view, all confusion} results in. 4 So people {especially gentile nations at the time?} think it strange when you don’t run with them in the way of debauchery {their gentile rites} and they speak evil of you.

     5 But they’ll give account to he who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 And - to this end indeed - that even to the dead, the good news is announced. {During second half of millennium 8.}

     So he (Jesus) was judged indeed according to mankind in this life {if you don’t fit in ..to Satan, thus the nation’s scheme and theme “off with their head!” as they say} but alive however in the spirit according to God.

     7 The end of all things is at hand. {That age, concluding at 70 CE, and as last hour of these first 6 millennium approaches, the gospel and prophecy become understood? So again speak.} Therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. 8 Above all, keep genuinely and wholeheartedly loving one another, since love covers a multitude of sins [of hamartia - missing the mark, flaws, shortcomings]..

            🌙 P.M. John 15:1-17

(Jesus to his disciples) 1 - “I’m the true vine {of Life} and my Father is the gardener and keeper of the vineyard.

     2 Every branch - in me - that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away” {‘forever’ has come to be assumed, as so many are steeped in the ancient, cruel spiritual propaganda myth/enchantment} “and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes [kathairó - cleanses, purifies, prunes, removes the dead growth] so it may bear more fruit. 3 Already you are clean [katharos] {pruned} because of the message I’ve spoken to you.

     4 Now, abide in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself, unless it stays on the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I’m the vine. You’re the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in them, will bear much fruit. But apart from me you can do nothing.

     6 If anyone doesn’t abide in me they’ll become a dry branch that falls away and withers.” {And if it is during last hour(s) will be gathered to the bonfire called armageddon? Siren call being division, rage? Mt.13:30. And near or far won’t matter, Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4.}

     7 “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, whatever you ask for in prayer, will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

     9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments/instructions/sayings/words, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I’ve spoken to you, so my joy may be in you! And so your joy may be full.

     12 And this is my commandment - that you love one another” (left aNd right!!!! are we listen-inG?? Get our heads out of “the world”. Division is the siren caLL to armageddon(s) large and small - a 2024 ‘study’ note) — “aS I have loved you!

    13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down their life for their friends.” {Including laying down our politics.} 14 “You are my friends iF you do what I tell you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his master is doing. But I call you friends, for all that I’ve heard from my Father I’ve made known to you. 16 You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 17 This I command you - that you love one another.”

Paul’s Travels

     On the way to Damascus to arrest Christians Paul is blinded by the radiance of Jesus, and hears his voice. He therefor converts, and after a while starts preaching (mostly in synagogues) Jesus’ message, his death and his resurrection.

     He and Barnabas are sent on a - spread the Good News journey - setting out from Antioch, north of Jerusalem. (At Antioch is where the believers were first called Christians).

     They went up around the Mediterranean spending time in some towns north of it. Then after returning through each town the way they had come, they sailed back to Antioch, first “missionary journey” finished.

     Soon they went down to Jerusalem to counsel about non Hebrew believers, should they follow Torah/Old Testament Way as if Judean/Israeli? Jesus summed up the ten commandments as Love God. Love fellow person. And that pretty much became the agreed upon answer {imo} diet and days were not required. {Keeping the Sabbath and, or the original holy days of God, as in the Scripture can be a wonderful thing. They’re an outline, for one thing. But Romans 14:5 says - “Let each be persuaded in their own mind”. And to not throw stumbling blocks in front of each other. (vs.13). All are saved, and thus follow, by grace alone when God gives the faith, “each in their own order” 1Cor.15:22-28 w/ Mt.13:33, key word 3; three harvests, barley, wheat aNd grape.}

   Paul goes on a second journey, this time with Silas.. they go up around the Mediterranean and through the regions north of it, but going further this time, passing through Asia and then over water to Macedonia, north of Greece. Through those regions, as in others, they are pursued and harassed, beaten/flogged and thrown in jail, but while singing, the chains broke and the doors opened.. resulting in believers.. They’re followed and persecuted as they go along, so Paul goes as far as Athens and teaches in Corinth for a year and a half.

   After returning to Caesaria (second “missionary journey” completed) and then Jerusalem, he again, in a third journey, rounded north of the Mediterranean, through Asia to Ephesus, teaching for two years at the Hall of Tyrannus.. A two hour riot was inspired by the guild of Artemis idol makers, with many not knowing why, but yelling one thing and others another..

     Traveling on, wanting to be in Jerusalem by Pentecost, as they sailed past Ephesus, they stopped and met the Ephesian believers on shore.. There were prayers and tears, they were not going to see each other again. Paul had previously been there for three years.

     On to Jerusalem.. (End of 3rd missionary journey.) Accusations are made against him that he is teaching kinsmen/Hebrews to disregard the {societal preservative} “Laws of Moses”. A mob is incited, beats Paul and he’s arrested, but he speaks to the crowd, the Roman officer in charge having agreed. All was well until Paul said the LORD had told him to go to the nations, slang, gentiles.

     So Paul is arrested, almost getting flogged (again) until it was realized he was a Roman citizen.. even by birth. Whereas the commander had bought his citizenship! It was unlawful to flog a Roman citizen. Israel, including Jerusalem, is currently occupied by Rome. 

     Paul is tried in Jerusalem, but is sent to appear also before the governor of Caesaria. A plot to ambush and kill him on the way is made known.

     Paul “appeals to Caesar”.. the Lord having told him he would proclaim the news in Rome. There is storm and shipwreck on the way. But finally they come to Three Taverns where they are met by believers from Rome, whom he had not yet met, but had written to.

     Acts 28:30,31 - Paul (under house arrest in Rome) for two years lived in a place he rented for himself, and there he welcomed all who came to see him. He preached about the Kingdom of God and taught about the Lord and Messiah, Jesus, speaking with all boldness and freedom.

      (Tradition has it he was later executed, likely under Nero who fiddled during the fire he himself started, but blamed the christians, sparking a great persecution.)

 • 1 Peter 3:15-22  John 14:22-31 and summary of Paul’s travels separately

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Peter 3:15-22

15 - In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy {sacred, above reproach} always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason of the hope [elpis - expectation, trust, confidence] that’s in you, yet with gentleness and respect, 16 having a good conscience, so when you’re slandered, those who insult your good behavior in Christ will know otherwise.

     17 It’s better to suffer for doing good, if that be God's will, than for doing evil. 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins [harmartia - missing the mark, falling short, imperfection, wrongs] the righteous on behalf of the unrighteous {the perfect on behalf of the imperfect} that he might bring us to God. Though having been put to death, but alive however in spirit. 19 Same as he went and proclaimed to the spirits under guard {locked into the coming deluge} 20 because in the old time, they didn’t obey, when was waiting God's patience in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through. 21 {Same Spirit at work with each one of us.} And baptism, which corresponds to this {perishing of the self centered/self first carnality} now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body {bodily bathing} but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been made subject to him.

            🌙 P.M. John 14:22-31

22 - Judas (not Iscariot, Jude) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you’ll reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered, “If anyone loves me, they’ll keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we’ll come and make our home with them.

     24 But whoever doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. And the word/message you’ve heard isn’t mine but the Father's who sent me.

     25 These things I’ve spoken to you while I’m still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit {/Presence of God} which the Father will send in my name, will teach you all and bring to your remembrance all I’ve said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you, and not as the world gives, so don’t let your hearts be troubled, nor let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say, I’m going away, and will come to you, if you love me, rejoice. Because I’m going to the Father, and the Father is greater than I. 29 And now, I’ve told you before it happens, so when it does take place you’ll believe. 30 Not much longer will I talk with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has told me, so the world may know that I love the Father. Let’s go from here now.”
