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

Hebrews 12:3-10  Luke 8:9-18

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 12:3-10

3 - Consider Jesus who endured such hostility against himself! So you don’t grow weary or fainthearted, 4 for in your struggle you haven’t had to suffer what others have. 5 And have you forgotten this? Which speaks to you as to sons and daughters - “My son/daughter, don’t regard lightly the discipline [paideia - discipline, instruction, training, education] of the LORD, nor be weary when corrected by him. 6 For he disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every one whom he receives” (Proverbs 3:11-12).

    7 The endurance {crucible} is a discipline. God is treating us as sons and daughters. For what son or daughter is there whom a father doesn’t correct? 8 If we are left without correction, in which all take part, then we are illegitimate children, and not sons and daughters! 9 Besides, haven’t we had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them? Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and receive Life? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed fitting to them, but he disciplines us for our benefit, that we may share his character and his nature of holiness.

     {How can we be a temple for his Spirit/Presence if we aren’t aligned with him? He is Life, Love, and “is perfect” Mt.5:48. Perfect and Life, is why this imperfection is ruled by entropy, and so he “is savior of all”. Some now, some during the GWT “aionion kolasis” (eonian korrection) second half of an “8th” millennium, REV.20, and LEV.23-as an outline of the Lord’s TWO advents. The long second advent, surely(?) is a full scope version of his first so brief one.. but with helpers serving, called reigning? It being Mt.25:1-13 versus Rev.16:14-15-16? What I mean is MT.13:30 with Jn.5:28,29.}

            🌙 P.M. Luke 8:9-18

9 - When his disciples asked him what the parable of the seeds meant, 10 Jesus said, “To you it’s been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God. But for others they’re in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’ {Not their time.}

     11 The seed is the word of God. 12 The seeds along the path are those who hear the message, but then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts so they may not believe and be saved.

     13 And the seed on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But they have no root {depth} and believe for a while, but in a time of difficulty, they fall away.

     14 And as for the seed (message) that fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way the message is choked by the cares, riches, and pleasures {distractions} of life. And the fruit {of the message} doesn’t mature.

     15 But as for the seed in the good soil, they are those who, with an honest and genuine heart, hear the word, and keep it. And with patience and steadfastness bear fruit.

     16 No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jug or puts it under a bed! But they put it on a table or lampstand, so those who enter may see by its light. 17 There’s nothing hidden that won’t be made known, no secret and mystery, that won’t be seen and come to light.

     18 Take care then, how you hear, for to the one who has (hears) more will be given. And from the one who has not {doesn’t hear} even what they think they have, will be taken away.” {Note how there’s no time word in this verse so why is there so much assuming of ‘for ever’..? Including likely, when this verse is read. And some verses with no time word in them, have been translated to include the word “forever”.}

Hebrews 12:1-2  Luke 8:1-8

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 12:1-2

1 - Therefore, having a cloud of witnesses encompassing us {“literally or figuratively” ..I think referring to GWT ‘day’ of judgment/history-review/discernment - since the previous verse (11:40) refers to a ‘crowd’ “not perfected without us” referring of course, to Jesus’ return when followers “put on perfection” which is the beginning of his two millennium long second advent, Rev.20} let us therefor throw off everything that hinders! And the sin [missing the mark, greek word hamartia] that so easily entangles.

     Let us run with patience and steadfastness, the race that is marked out for us, 2 keeping our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer, and the perfecter of our faith. He, for the joy set before him, endured the cross, scorning its shame. And then he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 8:1-8

1 - Jesus was traveling from town to town and from village to village proclaiming the - good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, including Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out. (This gospel, written by Luke the doctor.) 3 Also there was Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household, Susanna, and many others. These women helped to support Jesus and his disciples out of their own household.

     4 When a large crowd had gathered - for people were coming out to Jesus, from the towns and villages - he told them a parable.

     5 “A farmer went out sowing his seed. And as he was scattering the seed, some of it fell along the path and it was trampled on, and the birds came and ate it up.

     6 Some fell on dry rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered away because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorn bushes and grew up for a while among them, but were choked off by the thorn bushes.

     8 But still other seed fell upon good soil, and it came up, grew, and yielded a crop. A hundred times more than was planted.” And when he had said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.” 🌽

Hebrews 11:34-40  Luke 7:36-50

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 11:34-40

{This next is not for the timid, nor any of us really, love 38-40 though.} 34 - By faith (they) quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight! {If they’d been passive they’d have been chewed up and spit out. And not swading cloths for Chrst “savior of the world”.} 35 Women received back their dead, others were tortured refusing to accept release, that better resurrection (they would) obtain. {There’s two.}

    36 Others suffered mocking and flogging, even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were stoned, sawn in two, killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated, 38 of whom the world was not worthy, wandering about in deserts and mountains, living in dens and caves of the earth.

     39 And all these, though commended by their faith, didn’t receive what was promised, 40 since God had provided something better. That apart from us they should not {yet} be made perfect.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 7:36-50

36 - One of the Pharisees, named Simon, asked Jesus to dine with him, so he went to the Pharisee's house and was reclined at table, 37 when a woman of the city, who was known to be notorious, learned that he was there, and brought an alabaster flask of ointment. 38 And standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. And she kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.

     39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he thought to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him! For she’s a known sinner.”

     40 But Jesus said to him, “Simon, I have something to say.” And he said, “Say it, teacher.”

     41 “A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 When they couldn’t pay, he cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?”

     43 Simon answered, “The one, I suppose, for whom the larger debt was canceled.” And he said to him, “You have judged rightly.” 44 Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “See now this woman. I entered your house, you gave me no water for my feet. (It was a polite custom to offer guests water to rinse the dust of the street off their feet.) But she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You gave me no kiss of greeting. But from the time I came in, she’s not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet.

     47 So I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loves much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little.” 48 And he said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven.”

     49 And those who were at table with him were saying, “Who is this? Who says he forgives sins?” 50 And Jesus said to her, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

Hebrews 11:22-33  Luke 7:24-35

            ☀️ A.M. 

Hebrews 11:22-33

22 -  By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, told them to take his bones with them, for he foresaw they would exodus from Egypt.

     23 By faith Moses, when born, was hidden for three months by his parents. They saw the child was blessed, and they were not afraid of the king's edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he was grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25 choosing instead to be mistreated with his own people, the people of God, rather than enjoy the fleeting pleasures of Egypt.

     26 He considered being out of favor because of Christ, to be greater wealth - than all the treasures of Egypt! For he was looking to the reward [misthapodosía - from misthós - reward, and apodídōmi - return, give back]. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king, for he endured by seeing he who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.

     29 And it was by faith the people crossed the Red Sea as if on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were drowned. 30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they circled the walls for seven days. 31 By faith Rahab the prostitute didn’t perish with those who were unbelieving, because she had given a friendly welcome to the spies. {“All those in the tombs/graves will come forth..” Jesus “will draw all” Jn.5:28,29 and 12:32.}

     32 And what more shall I say?! It would take too long to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,  33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, received promises, stopped the mouths of lions..

            🌙 P.M. Luke 7:24-35

24 - When John's messengers had gone, Jesus said to the crowds that were around him, “What was it you went out into the wilderness to see? Was it a reed shaken by the wind? 25 What was it you went out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Listen, those who’re dressed in fine clothing and live in luxury are in kings' courts.

     26 What then did you go out to see? To see a prophet? Yes. And I tell you, more than a prophet! 27 This is he of whom it’s written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before you, who will prepare the way before you.’”{And so it is with the world’s “false prophet”. Prepares the way for the mankind and a.c. of lawlessness, etc.}

     28 “I tell you, among those born of woman, none is greater than John. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” {During long 2nd advent? Full scope version of his first so brief one, but with helpers serving called reigning? Crowns of Life, not metal.}

     29 When all the people heard this, and the tax collectors too (disliked, even despised, because they collected taxes for Rome) they all declared God just, having been baptized (prepared) with the baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God, and were not baptized by John.

     31 “To what then shall I compare it? What are they like? 32 They’re like children in the marketplace, calling to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We sang a dirge, and you didn’t weep.’ 33 For John the Baptist (baptizer) has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’ 34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 35 Yet wisdom is justified of her children.”

ACTS 6 1-15

Luke wrote “of the things fulfilled among us” paraphrased  [ ] ref  { } thots

ACTS 6 1-15 

Book of the Acts of the First Believers

1 - In those  days when the disciples were growing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists (greek believers) arose against the Hebrew believers for they said their widows were being neglected in the helpful sharings.

     2 So the twelve called together all the disciples and said, 3 “Pick out from among yourselves seven men of good reputation, who are full of the Spirit of God and wisdom. And appoint them to this duty. 4 And then we apostles can continue to focus on prayer and proclaiming the message [logos]. 5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering.

     The men they chose were Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a convert of Antioch. 6 And they brought them to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.

     7 And so the word of God continued to spread, and the number of disciples greatly increased in Jerusalem. Even a great many of the priests became followers. 8 And Stephen, who was full of grace and God’s Spirit(/Presence), was doing wonderful signs and wonders among the people.

     9 But some of those who belonged to the Freedmen [Libertinos - a latin word, freedman, libertines] as they’re called, made up of Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and some from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and argued with Stephen. 10 They were unable to refute the spirit and wisdom with which he spoke, 11 so instead they secretly plotted.

     They rounded up and persuaded some of ill character to come forward and proclaim accusations, “We’ve heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God!” they said.

     12 And they agitated the people, and the elders and the scribes, and then they came upon him and seized him and brought him to court and before the council, 13 and they set up false witnesses. 

     The false witnesses claimed, “This man never ceases to speak words against this holy place and the law, 14 for we’ve heard him say this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and the customs that Moses delivered to us.” 15 And looking at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face was radiant like the face of an angel!

Hebrews 11:17-21 Luke 7:11-23 and ACTS 6:1-15 separately

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 11:17-21

17 - By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son! 18 Of whom it was said, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 19 He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, so to speak, he did receive him back.

     20 By faith Isaac proclaimed future blessings upon Jacob and Esau. 21 And by faith Jacob (later named Israel) when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head of his staff.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 7:11-23

11 - A little later Jesus was going to a town called Nain. His disciples and a great crowd were with him, 12 and as they drew near to the gate of the town, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow.

     A considerable number of people from the town were with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, he felt very sad for her, and said to her, “Don’t weep.”

     14 Then he came up and touched the bier, as the bearers stopped and stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, rise.”

     15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus returned him to his mother. 16 Great amazement seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen among us!” and “God has visited his people!”

     17 This report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country, 18 and the disciples of John reported all these things to John. And he, 19 calling two of his disciples, sent them to the Lord, to ask, “Are you the one who is to come? Or shall we look for another?” 20 And so the men went to him, and said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?’”

     21 In that same hour he healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and many who were blind he gave sight to. 22 And so he answered the disciples of John, “Go and tell John what you’ve seen and heard - the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up. The poor have good news preached to them. 23 And blessed are those not scandalized [skandalizó - offended]  by me.”
