 • Colossians 1:16-20  John 7:2-9

            ☀️ Colossians 1:16-20

(15 - He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.) 16 - For in him all in heaven and upon earth were created. The visible and the invisible, seats and dominions [arché - beginnings, origins, principalities] and jurisdictions [exousia - powers, rights, jurisdictions]. All were created through him and for him. {Powers and principalities, boundaries.. all originally perfect and pristine, but not (yet) ‘programmed’, so to speak.. school of hard knocks is doing the job.}

     17 And he is before all, and in him all are held together. 18 He is the head of the body, the church (body of believers). And he is the beginning, and the firstborn from the dead, so that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him - all the fullness of God - was pleased to dwell, 20 and, through him “to reconcile to himself, the all, having made peace by the blood of the cross of him, whether the upon earth or the in the heavens”. [Verse 20 is a more or less word for word translation, according to language tools we now have at our fingertips.]

            🌙 John 7:2-9

2 - The annual Feast of Booths/Tents/Tabernacles was at hand {Rev.21:5, Lev.23:34-36}. 3 Jesus’ (natural) brothers (Mt.13:55) said to him, “Why don’t you go to Judea, so your disciples (from all over, gathered annually for the feast) may see the works you’re doing. 4 For if you want to be known, don’t do these things secretly, but openly, then you’ll show yourself to the world.” 5 For even his brothers didn’t really believe in him. {But both James and Jude have a letter in the New Testament. And James became one of the leaders of the Jerusalem believers.}

     6 But Jesus said, “My time hasn’t yet come, but your time is always here. 7 The world doesn’t hate you. It hates me because I testify of it, that its works are evil [ponéros - wicked, bad, malicious]. 8 You go to the feast. I’m not going, for my time has not yet fully come.” 9 After saying this, he remained in Galilee.

     {He was not yet going to - this - Tabernacles? For the time was not completed. It was not - his - Tabernacles, the compleTe fulfillment (Eph.1:10) was not yet. “Tabernacles” being the Fulfillment - Rev.21:5 - the ancient (Lev.23) Holy Days, Spring and Fall, being an outline of his first brief advent (Spring), and then his longer, stretched out, second advent (Fall holy days of Lev.23 as an outline), which concludes at/with the “last great ‘day’” an “8th ‘day’” when all imperfections of self as first and foremost will be fuLLy removed from humanity. Humanity’s circumcision of the heart completed upon the “8th day”.}

 • Colossians 1:9-15  Matthew 20:1-16

            ☀️ Colossians 1:9-15

9 - And so, from the first day we heard, we’ve not stopped praying for you! Asking that you be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10 And to walk worthily in the Lord, fully pleasing to him, and fruitful in every good work, while {forever} increasing in the knowledge of God. 11 And strengthened with all his glorious might and power, for endurance and patience, with joy. {During this unavoidable contrast gotten over with first, a ‘quick’ one&done for all.}

     12 Giving thanks to the Father, the one having qualified you [hikanoó - made you sufficient, qualified, enabled you] to share in the light and radiant inheritance of the saints [hagios - holy, sacred, set apart] {but “not yet perfected” Heb.11:40}. 13 For he has delivered us from the domain of darkness! He has transplanted us into the kingdom of his beloved Son. 

     14 It is in the Son [Jesus] that we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins [hamartia - missing the mark]. 15 He is the firstborn of all creation, and the image [eikón - image, likeness, representation, replication] of the invisible God. Amen.

     [“Eikṓn assumes a prototype, of which it not merely resembles, but from which it is drawn (R. Trench) (eikṓn) then is more than a ‘shadow’ rather it’s a replication (F. F. Bruce)” - from biblehub dot com, interlinear link to the original word.] {The only straight out from God one. Father and Son are so close that both administer God’s Spirit/Presence, the same as will saturate and “seal” all creation and humanity, Rev.21:3,5, Eph.1:10, 1Cor.15:22,28.}

            🌙 Matthew 20:1-16

1 - “For the kingdom of heaven” Jesus said, “is like a master of a house going out early in the morning to hire laborers to work in his vineyard. 2 And after agreeing with the workers for a denarius a day, he sends them out into the field.

     3 Then later, around the third hour he sees others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 so he tells them, ‘Go and work in the vineyard too, and I’ll pay you what’s fair.’ 5 So they go.

     And then again later, at about the sixth hour, and also the ninth hour, he does the same. 6 And even at the eleventh hour he goes out and finds others standing idle. And says to them, ‘Why are you standing here idle all day?’ 7 And they answer, ‘Because no one has hired us!’ So he tells them, as well, to go and work in the vineyard.

     8 And when evening comes, the owner of the vineyard says to the foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.’ 9 And when those hired at about the eleventh hour come, each of them receive a denarius. 10 Now when those who were hired first come, they think they will receive more. But each of them receive a denarius as well. 11 And on receiving it they grumble at the master of the house, 12 and they say, ‘These last worked only one hour! And you’ve  paid them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day, and the scorching heat!’

     13 But he will answer them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take now what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last one as I’ve given to you. 15 Am I not allowed to do what I choose with my own money? Or do you despise my generosity?’ 16 So many who are last shall be first, and many who are first will be last.”

REVELATION - 18 9-24

BOOK OF REVELATION

     9 - And the kings of earth, who were in bed with her and lived in luxury with her, will weep and mourn when they see the smoke of her burning. {$ity Babylon - who rode the beasts to all seven hills/continents.. Free enterprise highjacked. Rode (and traveled with) the beasts which will join but not really (Rev.13:1 w/ Dan.7:7,19, and Dan.2:36-45 shows us the metals are Rome and Greek, aka a western roots and foundation, many headed geopolitical beast/entity/institution. Within it, is ‘dove’ and vulture, Mt.24:28. The fallen as prey,  the west once called Christendom having fallen away into “lawlessness” and deterioration.}

     10 They will stand far off, watching from a distance in fear of her torment, and will say, “Alas! Alas! That great city {that ruled} that mighty city, Babylon! For in one hour your judgment has come.” 

     11 And the merchants of earth {also} will weep and mourn for her. For no one buys their cargoes anymore. 12 Products of gold and silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, silk and scarlet cloths, all fragrant woods, articles of ivory and fine wood, bronze, iron and marble. 13 And cinnamon, spice, incense, perfumes and ointments, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, slaves, and human souls [psuche - soul, life, self, inner being] {human beings}. 14 “And the ripe fruit of you and the delicacies for which you lusted/longed for have gone from you. All your sumptuous splendors are lost to you and will not be found in you again.”

     15 The merchants of these things, who grew wealthy from her (from the $ity, a modern day Baal?) will stand far off, in fear of her torment, loudly weeping and mourning, 16 “Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, and jewels, and with pearls! 17 For in a single hour all that wealth has been laid waste.”

     And all shipmasters and seafaring men/traders, sailors and all whose - trade is on the sea - stood far off, 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, “What city was like the great $ity?!” 19 And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out, “Alas, alas, for the great city - where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her costliness! For in one hour has she been laid waste.”

     20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment against her! {As you have done so shall it fall upon you.. reaping what you sow..}

     21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and will be found no more, 22 and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will no longer be heard in you, nor any craftsman of any craft will be found in you, nor sound of the mill, be heard in you. 23 The light of a lamp will not shine in you, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any more, for her merchants were the great ones of earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery [pharmakeia - sorcery, witchcraft, magic, enchantment, spells, deception, corruption, beguilement.. {power to influence}].

      24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of - all - who have been slain upon earth.” {Empire, personal or collective.}

 • Colossians 1:1-8  Matthew 19:13-30 Rev 18:9-24 separately

            ☀️ Colossians 1:1-8

1 - (From) Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

     2 To the saints (believers, Heb.11:40) and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you! And peace from God our Father!

     3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus, when we pray for you, 4 because we’ve heard of your faith in Him. And we’ve heard of the love you have for all the saints [hagios - sacred, set apart] 5 because of the hope [elpis - expectation] being laid up for you in heaven. Which you heard of before in the message of truth, the gospel, 6 which has come to you.

     And indeed in all the world the message is bearing fruit and increasing, as it also is doing among you in Colossae since the day you heard and understood it - understood the grace of God in truth, 7 just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved brother. He is a faithful servant and minister of Christ on your behalf, 8 and he has told us all about your love and affection in the Spirit.

            🌙 Matthew 19:13-30

13 - Parents and grandparents were bringing children to Jesus, that he might lay his hands on them and pray for them.

     The disciples were trying to send them away, 14 but Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, don’t stop them, for it’s to them that the kingdom of heaven belongs.” 15 And he laid his hands on each one of them before they continued on.

     16 Just then, a man came up, saying, “Good teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” {Be immortal, “put-on immortality”.}

     17 Jesus said, “Why do you call me good? There’s only one who’s good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” 18 “Which ones?” he asked. Jesus said, “Don’t murder, don’t commit adultery, don’t steal, don’t bear false witness, 19 honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.”

     20 The young man said, “All these I’ve kept from birth. What do I lack?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have, and give to the poor. Then you’ll have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.”

     22 But when he heard this, the young man went away sad, for he had great wealth. {After the crucifixion, was the new, a “new and living way”. The Old Testament way of sacrifices for sin [hamartia - missing the mark (the conscience KNOWS!)] was a shadow (small scope version) of the one sacrifice strong enough to appease eveRy conscience, ultimately, not magically. — From old way to “new” because change from within works - by believing (entering, following) the Good News we will “inherit” and “put on perfection” thus “immortality” - God is Life and “is perfect” so imperfect is entropy, a slow gehenna(burning up) “that doesn’t quit”. Life as we presently know it, is an unavoidable contrast running course. A ‘parable’ of the decomposing ‘apple’ and its worm “that doesn’t quit”. The decomposing. The dis-ease as part of the cure. And immunity, Total Herd Immunity. Jesus is Lord. And “will draw all” Jn.12:32.}

     23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I tell you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 I tell you, it’s easier for a camel [kamélos] to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

     25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly amazed, and said, “Who then can be saved?” {If it’s hard for them, the privileged!}

     26 Jesus told them, “With man himself, it’s impossible” {can’t be done, imperfect cannot make itself perfect} “but with God - nothing - is impossible.”

     27 Peter said, “We’ve left everything and have followed you. What reward or treasure shall we have?” 28 Jesus said, “Truly, I tell you, in the {time of the} regeneration [“palin(again)genesis” literal] when the Son of man sits on his throne [thronos - seat, throne] of glory, you will sit on twelve seats [thronos] judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands” {or lost friends, or even family} “for the sake of my name [onoma - name, authority, cause] will receive a hundredfold! And will inherit enduring [aionion - eonian, of the age] Life” {which is God Himself, His Spirit/Presence}. 30 “But many who are first will be last, and many who are last, will be first.”

 • Philemon 1:17-25  Matthew 19:1-12

            ☀️ Philemon 1:17-25

17 - So if you consider me a partner, receive him back (Onesimus, a runaway from bond service, a money or land borrowing system) as you would receive me. 18 If he owes you, or has wronged you, charge it to me. 19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand - I’ll repay it. Not to mention I’m your father in the Lord as well. 20 Yes, brother, I feel sure you will refresh my heart in Christ. 21 For I know of your good will, and I write, knowing you will do even more than I ask. 22 At the same time, prepare a guest room for me! For I’m hoping that through our prayers I’ll be able to come and visit.

     23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings, 24 and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers. 25 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you!

            🌙 Matthew 19:1-12

1 - Now when Jesus had finished his sayings, he went on from Galilee to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. 2 And large crowds followed him there, and he healed them.

     3 And {of course} some from the party of the Pharisees came to test him, hoping to find a reason to accuse him, saying, “Is it lawful to send one’s wife away in divorce?” 4 He answered, “Have you read how he who created them from the beginning made them male and female? 5 And said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one’? 6 So they’re no longer two but one. What therefore God has joined together, man shouldn’t separate.”

     7 They said to him, “Why then did Moses say to give a certificate of divorce and send her away?” 8 He answered, “Because of the hardness of your hearts, Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it wasn’t so. 9 And I tell you, whoever divorces his wife, unless for infidelity, and marries another, commits adultery.”

     10 And the disciples asked him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it’s better not to marry!” 11 But he said, “Not everyone can do so, only those to whom it’s given. 12 There are eunuchs who are so from birth, there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have chosen to be eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who’s able to receive it receive it.” {Of the options, neither is a requirement. Healthy family as a building block makes for peaceful society, although never perfect until God has fulfilled HiS blueprint and sealed it.}

 • Philemon 1:1-16  Matthew 18:21-35

            ☀️ Philemon 1:1-16

1 - Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,

     To Philemon our beloved fellow worker 2 and Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier, and the church that meets in your house:

     3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father! And the Lord Jesus Christ! 4 I am always thankful to God for you and I remember you in my prayers. 5 For I hear of the faith you have toward the Lord Jesus, and your love for all the brothers and sisters. 6 I pray that the sharing of your faith may be effective, and full, having knowledge of every good thing that’s in us, for the sake of Christ. 7 For I have felt much joy and comfort because the hearts of the saints (believers) have been refreshed through you.

     8 Yet also I’m asking a great favor of you. 9 I, Paul, now an old man and also a prisoner for Christ Jesus, 10 I appeal to you concerning Onesimus, who I became like a father to in my imprisonment.

     11 Formerly he wasn’t much help to you, but now indeed he is helpful to you and to me. 12 I’m sending him back to you. But from my heart, 13 I would have been glad to keep him with me, in order that he might help me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel. 14 But I wouldn’t want to do so without your consent, and only if it would be agreeable to you. 15 It might even be that’s why he was away, that you might have him back, but as a brother, forever! 16 No longer as indentured {a money or land borrowing system} but now as a beloved brother, especially to me. And how much more to you, both naturally and in the Lord..

            🌙 Matthew 18:21-35

21 - Then Peter came up and asked Jesus, “Lord, how many times, if my brother sins against me, should I forgive him? As many as seven times?” 22 Jesus said, “I don’t say seven times, but seventy-seven times!

     23 For the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wished to settle his accounts with his (bond) servants. 24 And when he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25 And since he couldn’t pay, he ordered his indenture to be sold, with his wife and children and all he had, and payment to be made. 26 So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me! And I’ll pay you everything.’

     27 And out of pity, the master of that servant released him and even forgave him the whole debt. 28 But later, that same servant went out, and when he saw one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii, he seized him, and was throttling him, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ 29 And his fellow servant {his neighbor/fellow person} fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I’ll pay you.’ 30 But he refused and went and had him put in prison until he should pay all the debt.

     31 When his fellow servants saw it, they were greatly distressed, and reported it to the master/mister. 32 Then the master summoned the man and said, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had with you?’ 34 And in anger he was delivered to the jailers {cause and effects, trials} untiL he should pay all his debt. 35 So also from my heavenly Father will it be with each one of you, if you don’t genuinely forgive your brother or sister.”
