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

 • 1 Peter 3:7-14  John 14:12-21

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Peter 3:7-14

7 - ..And husbands, live with your wives, not forgetting {or taking advantage because} she is physically weaker. Keep in mind that she is a joint heir with you to the grace of life, lest your prayers be hindered.

     8 Finally, all of you, hold onto unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, tender hearts, and humble spirits. 9 Don’t repay abuse for abuse nor insult for insult. But on the contrary! Bless. For to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.

     10 For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let them keep their tongue from evil and their lips from speaking guile! 11 Let them turn away from evil and do good. Let them seek peace - and pursue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the countenance of the Lord is against those who DO evil.” {..If we don’t seek peace, we do evil?}

     13 Now who is there to harm you if you’re zealous for what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them. Nor be troubled.

            🌙 P.M. John 14:12-21

Jesus, to his disciples, 12 - “Truly, I tell you, whoever believes in me will also do the works I do. And greater works than these they’ll do, because I’m going to the Father.” {Greater works, further reach, and don’t forget how wide a reach during his long second advent.}

     13 “Whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so - the Father may be glorified - in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name [onomo - name, reputation, cause] I will do it.

     15 If you love me, you’ll keep my commandments/instructions/sayings. 16 And I’ll ask the Father, and he’ll give you another help [paráklētos - from pará - from close-beside, and kaléō - make the call, properly, a legal advocate who makes the right judgment-call because close enough to the situation, someone giving evidence that stands up in court] to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit {Presence (with us)} of Truth {the Father, who is Life}, whom the world can’t receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. {Father and Son are so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence, same as will saturate and “seal” all creation and humanity.}

     18 “I won’t leave you as orphans, but will come to you.” {At the end of that age, at the coming Pentecost, and later, as fully present at the culmination of history, this unavoidable, all important contrast, a slow gehenna crucible, entropy/imperfection.}

     19 “Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you’ll see me. Because I live, you’ll live also. 20 In that day you’ll know that I’m in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments, and keeps them, are those who love me. And those who love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and I will {continue to} make myself known to them.”

 • 1 Peter 2:17-25  John 13:21-38

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Peter 3:1-6

1 - Likewise, wives, adapt to your husbands, so even if he doesn’t obey the word, he may be won over without a word 2 when he sees your reverent and peaceful spirit. 3,4 The resulting inner beauty of a gentle spirit, unlike outward adorning, is unfading, and in God's sight, is very precious.

     5 This is how the holy women of old, who hoped in God, adorned themselves,, by adapting to their husbands, 6 as Sarah listened to Abraham, even calling him lord. And you are her daughters, if you do good and aren’t overly excitable or easily alarmed.

            🌙 P.M. John 14:1-11

(Jesus, before his arrest, on the evening before his execution, is alone with his eleven disciples. They had supper, and Judas has left. The other disciples think perhaps he has gone to buy what they need for the Passover meal, as he was the one who carried the money bag.)

     1 - Jesus told them, “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions [monḗ - from ménō - to remain, abide – an abiding dwelling-place i.e. not transitory; monḗ - used twice in the NT both times by Christ, an individual dwelling place]. If this wasn’t so, would I tell you that I go to prepare a place for you?” {I go to be crucified, so that where I am you may be.}

     3 “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I’ll come back and take you to myself, so where I am you may be. 4 And you know the way to where I’m going.”

     5 Thomas said, “Lord, we don’t know where you’re going! How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.

     No one comes to the Father {who is Life} except through me. 7 If you know me, you know my Father. So from now on you do know him, and see him.” [See - horaó - to see, perceive, understand.]

     8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and it will be enough for us.” 9 Jesus said, “Have I been with you this long, and you don’t know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me, has seen the Father. So why say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you know I’m in the Father? And the Father is in me? The words I say to you I don’t say on my own. But the Father - who dwells in me - has been doing his works. 11 Believe me, that I’m in the Father and the Father’s in me. Or believe because of the works. [Works - ergon - work, task, employment; a deed, action; that which is wrought or made, a work, act/deed that carries out a purpose].

 • 1 Peter 2:17-25  John 13:21-38

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Peter 2:17-25 

17 - Respect and honor all. Love your fellow believers. Fear/revere God. Honor the emperor. {No violent protests! Against another party. 🤔 Compliance up to law breaking or being ‘stamped’?} 18 Servants/workers (in a work obligation system, for a loan of money or land) be subject to your masters/misters/boss with respect. And not only to the good and gentle, but also to the unjust. 19 For this is a mindful thing, when conscious of God, if one endures sorrow while suffering unjustly.

     20 For what credit is it, if you do wrong and when suffering for it, you endure? But if when you do good, you suffer for it with quiet endurance, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21 Indeed to this you’ve been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so you might follow in his steps. 22 He committed no wrong, no sin, neither did any falsehood cross his lips. 23 When he was insulted, he didn’t return insult. And when he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but continued entrusting himself to he who judges justly.

     24 And he suffered for us, bearing our sins in his body on the tree. That we might die to sin and live to all that is right. It is by his wounds you have been healed! 25 For like sheep, you were straying, but you have now returned (a pleasant sacrifice, a whole burnt offering) to the shepherd and bishop [episkopos - superintendent, bishop, from epí - upon, a fitting contact, which intensifies skopós - look intently, keep an eye on (you have returned to the) overseer, manager] of your soul.

     {How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? No option to stray in Eden and creation would be an ant farm?}

            🌙 P.M. John 13:21-38

21 - Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and said, “Truly, I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.” 22 The disciples looked at one another, not knowing what to think. 23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved (this is John, it’s how he sometimes referred to himself) was at the table by Jesus, 24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus who he was talking about.

     25 So that disciple, leaning close to Jesus said, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, “It’s he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I’ve dipped it.” So when he had dipped it, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

     27 Then after Judas had taken the bread, Satan entered into him, and Jesus said to him, “What you’re going to do, do quickly.” 28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this. 29 Some thought because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him to go buy what they would need for the feast {Jesus’ “last supper” (last meal) was noT the Passover meal} or that he should give something to the poor.

     30 And so it was, that after receiving the piece of bread, Judas left and went out into the night.

     31 And when he had gone, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God glorified in him. 32 For if God is glorified in him also God will glorify him in himself and at once.

     33 Little children, it’s only a short while that I’m with you. You’ll seek me, and just as I said to your countrymen, ‘Where I’m going you cannot follow.’ 34 And now a new commandment I give to you, love one another, just as I’ve loved you, you also love one another. 35 And by this all will know you’re my disciples! If you have love (true affection) for one another.”

     36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I’m going you can’t follow me now, but you’ll follow me later.” {Personally, I don’t believe this means ‘going to heaven’ but Peter was later crucified (legend/tradition has it as upside down because Peter said he was in no way worthy to be executed the same way Jesus was). When in reality Peter was not able to ‘go there’ then, which was proven later.} 37 Peter said, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!” 38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, I tell you Peter, the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times.”

REVELATION - 21 23 to 22 2

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

BOOK OF REVELATION

(After the 7th and 8th millennium (aka, the second advent of Jesus) and after the “palin(again)genesis” another biG bang into the universe (as is) theN set in motion..) 

     23 - The New Jerusalem doesn’t need the sun or the moon, for the glory of God is its radiance, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 And by its light the nations will walk. And {those who were} the kings of earth will bring [pheró - carried, to be conveyed] {turn over} their glory into it, 25 and its gates will not be shut by day. There will be no night in the city. 26 They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 Nothing impure will enter it, nor anyone who practices what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life. [Jn.12:32, 1Tim.4:10]

     22:1 - Then the angel showed me the river of the water of Life, clear as crystal flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 And through the middle of the street of the city, and on either side of the river, is the tree of life bearing twelve kinds of fruit, each for its month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing [therapeia - healing, service, care] of the nations.

     {Life, clear and pure as crystal.. How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? Total ant farm versus total ‘herd’ immunity.. the dis-ease as part of the cure?}

 • 1 Peter 2:9-16  John 13:1-20 and Rev. 21:23-22:2 separately

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Peter 2:9-16

9 - (As believers) you are a chosen {and new} kind [genos - kind, nation, or family, clan, tribe] a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people {the born again from above kind, to be ruled by Love/God’s Spirit/Presence} as his own possession, so you may proclaim the excellencies of he who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous [thaumastos - wonderful, marvelous, astonishing] light. [“Possession” - peripoíēsis, originally meant ‘a making to remain over and above' hence, preservation; preservation for one's self with all round (peri) benefit; acquire, obtain.]

     10 Once you were not people of the LORD, but now you’re His people. Once you hadn’t received mercy, but now you have. {The nations as well as Israel. Prophecy is fulfilled in widening scopes until reaching the “end-aim” - greek word tel, usually translated ‘end’, and root of the word telescope. Or like in widening ripples of a pond.. Until full pond ripple. Do we really expect anything less from God, who “is perfect”? (Mt.5:48) Surely, his end-aim, can’t be anything other than the best one possible. Did we think something went wrong? Something took him by surprise? Lol. He left us a ‘wheel within wheel’ outline. The week plus one millenniums.. (It was biG bang into the universe as is, then was set in motion.) And within that outline, the Spring and Fall holy days of Leviticus 23, as Jesus’ two advents, first so brief one and longer full scope one. Someday I want to write all the details into one book, actually booklet. Meanwhile, every day, some of it in these studies because the New Testament is bursting with it, CU/UR (universal reconciliation.} 

     11 Beloved, I (Peter) urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of youth and flesh, which wage war against your soul. 12 Keep your conduct among the world as honorable, so if they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good character and works and glorify God on the day of his visitation. {To each one of them?} [Visitation - episkopḗ - a feminine noun, derived from epí - on, (as in) appropriately fitting, and skopéō - look intently – properly, oversight that naturally goes on to provide the care and attention appropriate to the personal visitation - biblehub dot com.]

     13 Be subject for the Lord's sake to the human institutions, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, 14 or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence ignorance and foolishness. 16 Live as people who are free, but not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as faithful servants {and friends} of God.

            🌙 P.M. John 13:1-20

1 - Now before the Festival of Passover, when Jesus knew his hour had come to leave the world and go to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 While reclined at supper - the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him - 3 Jesus, knowing the Father had given all into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was going back to God, 4 got up, laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. 5 Then after pouring water into a basin, he began to wash the disciples' feet and wipe them with the towel he had wrapped around him.

     6 When he came to him, Simon Peter said, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” 7 Jesus answered, “What I’m doing you don’t understand now, but later you’ll understand.” 8 Peter said, “Surely you shall not wash my feet!” Jesus said, “If I don’t wash you, you have no share with me.” 9 Simon Peter said, “Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head too!” 10 Jesus said, “The one who has bathed doesn’t need to wash, except for their feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not every one of you.” 11 For he knew who was going to betray him. (It was polite to offer guests a basin of water to wash their hot and dusty feet from their journey or walk.) {Did Judas sneer to himself? Messiah should be warrior setting free from occupying Rome!}

     12 When he had washed their feet, put his outer garments back on and sat down, he said to them, “Do you understand what I’ve done? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you’re right, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I’ve given you an example, that you should do just as I have done for you. 16 Truly, I tell you, a servant is not greater than their master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sends them. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

     18 I’m not speaking of all of you. I know whom I’ve chosen. But the Scripture will be fulfilled, ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ 19 I’m telling you this now, before it happens, that when it does happen you’ll believe that I’m he. {The Christ and Messiah, “savior of the world”.} 20 Truly, I tell you, whoever receives the one I send, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives the one who sent me.”

05-10 - 1Pet-2 Mt-26

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

 • 1 Peter 2:1-8  Matthew 26:20-29

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Peter 2:1-8

1 - So put away from yourself, all malice, deceit, and hypocrisy. And put away {reject} all envy and slander {accusation, and who is called “the accuser”?}

     2 Like newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual [logikos - from logos - reason, logic; rational, reasonable] milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation [soteria - welfare, prosperity, deliverance, preservation, salvation, safety] 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. 4 As you come to him - a living stone rejected by men, but in the sight of God, chosen and most esteemed - you yourselves 5 are living stones being built up into a spiritual house, and a holy priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus.  {Heartfelt and full heart praise/love, is a whole burnt offering on His altar.}

     6 For it stands in Scripture - “Behold! I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen, highly esteemed, and precious. And whoever believes in him, will not be shamed.”

     7 So there is honor for those who believe, but concerning those who don’t believe, “the stone the builders reject has become the cornerstone”. [Kephalén gonias - from kephalé - head, and gónia - corner; a cornerstone and basic, fundamental stone that joins two walls.. (Jesus, “the chief cornerstone”) the basic part of something on which its existence, success, or truth depends.] 8 But is “a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” They disobey the word/message [logos] and so they stumble. To which they were appointed. [keimai - in the widest application, literally and figuratively, differs from G2476 histémi - to stand, to set, to establish, to place, (so is) an upright and active position, while G2749 keimai - to lie, to be laid, to be set, to be appointed, is reflexive and utterly prostrate. From biblehub dot com.] {They didn’t have much choice?}

     {“All the world’s a stage” - Shakespeare.

There’s bound to be, and has to be, more than one role played out, as you let things run their course? No option to stray in Eden and humanity would be an ant farm? 1Tim.4:10, “God is savior of all.” He is Life and “is Perfect”.. so imperfection is this entropy, a slow burn/gehenna, but unavoidable, and an all important contrast.}

            🌙 P.M. Matthew 26:20-29

(On the eve of his crucifixion..) 20 - When it was evening he reclined at table for supper with the twelve. 21 And as they were eating, he said, “Truly, I tell you, one of you will betray me.” 22 And they were very sorrowful when he said it, and they began to say to him one by one, “Is it I, Lord?”

     23 He answered them, “He who has dipped his bread in the dish with me will betray me. 24 The Son of Man goes as it’s written of him. But woe to the one who betrays him! It would’ve been better for him if he’d not been born.” {A cliche, Jesus knew Judas’ earthly end, and was prophesying.} 25 And Judas, who would betray him, said, “Is it I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “So you’ve said.”

     26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it, broke it, passed it to the disciples, and said, “Take and eat this, it’s my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he’d given thanks, he passed it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you {was Judas still there?} 28 for this is my blood of the covenant (treaty, accord, league, agreement) which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” {Strong enough to appease eveRy conscience and psyche. Ps.40:6 - “Sacrifices are not what You want..”.} 29 “I tell you now, I won’t drink this fruit of the vine again, until the day I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.”
