            ☀️ A.M. Galatians 4:8-20

8 - Before, when you didn’t know God, you were in bondage to and submitted to those who by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather - to be known by Him - how can you turn back and be slaves once again to weak, elementary principles of the world, that don’t work? 10 You (consider as demanded/required/mandatory to) observe days and months, seasons and years! 11 I’m afraid I may have labored over you in vain! 12 So I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you (gentiles) are! {In this matter.}

     You did me no wrong. 13 As you know, at first, it was in weakness, that I proclaimed the good news to you. 14 And though my {health} condition {of his eyes} was a trial to you, you didn’t scorn or despise me, but you received me as though I was a messenger of God, or even as Christ Jesus himself!

     15 What then! Has become of your blessedness? For I testify that, if possible, you would have gouged out your own eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?

     17 They flatter and make a big deal of you. But that’s for no good purpose. They want to shut you out. So you will make a big deal of {and will follow} them.

     18 It is always good to be zealous for a good purpose! And not only when I’m with you. 19 My dear children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you! 20 I wish I could be present with you now and change my tone, but I am perplexed about you!

     {Paul was a discipler.}

            🌙 P.M. MARK 12:12-27

12 - And they (leaders, authorities) were seeking to arrest him. But they feared the people, and they knew he had told the parable against them, so they left. 13 But then they sent some Pharisees and Herodians to try to trap him in his words.

     14 They came and said to him, “Teacher, we know you are true and don’t care about other’s status. For you’re not swayed by appearances, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar? Should we pay them? Or should we not pay them?”

     15 But, knowing their hypocrisy {and it was a death sentence to deny Caesar) Jesus said to them, “Why put me to the test? Bring me a coin and we’ll look at it.”

     16 So they brought a coin, and he asked them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said, “Caesar's.”

     17 So he said, “Render to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.” And they marveled at his answer.

     18 Then some Sadducees came, who say there’s no resurrection. And they asked him, 19 “Teacher, Moses wrote that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man should marry the widow and raise up a son for his brother. 20 There were seven brothers and the first took a wife, and when he died left no child. 21 And the second wed her, and died, also leaving no child. And the third likewise. 22 And also with all seven, and left no child. Last of all the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For the seven wed her.”

     24 Jesus said to them, “Is it not true, that you are very wrong? Because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither wed nor are - given - in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven.

     26 And as for the dead, the deceased being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I’m the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 He’s not God of the dead, but of the living. You greatly err.” (Jesus said “All those in the tombs/graves” {not dungeons, lol} “will hear God’s voice, and will come forth. Some into the resurrection of life” {into THE millennium, to serve called reigning..? During long 2nd advent, surely(?) a full scope version of his 1st so brief one. After all, that’s the way of prophecy.

     “And some” he said, “will rise into the resurrection of judgment” (Jn.5:28-29). Surely that can be none other than “the” GWT Judgment (and surely?) discernment, review of history and closure for all ‘Day’ - which elsewhere He calls agelasting correction [“kolasin aionion” oR “korrection eonian”] age of correction! Mt.25:46, 3rd quarter of the Lord’s long second advent? See Rev.20, which is written like describing just the crests of waves, and then Leviticus 23. It’s veiled in a number of ways, how utterly PERFECTLY Jesus 1st advent fulfilled the Spring Holy Days (of Lev.23).

     So then what are we to think of the Fall Holy Days? (Lev.23 as well.) The names and the pattern. Too close to be meaningless. The Aionion Kolasis.. etc. The ancient holy days as type and shadow like so much else. And — of course — the completing of Jesus’ drawing of aLL, JN.12:32.

      It seems to me to trad lime an outline: The 3 Holy Days - #1-Trumpets (of Rev. & return) 1Odays/1OOOyrs later - onterlude, Satan released and he gathers to Armageddon2, and then his fieRy final defeat {he was adversary/accelerant} then — #2-Day of Atonement. And, 5days/5OOyrs later — #3-Tabernacles! “God will now tabernacle/tent/dwell with mankind, behold! I make all [pas - all, every, the whole] new!” Via the fiery regeneration (2nd vivification, 1st and 2nd making it “universal”. DOA for the initially doa..? Rich man and Lazarus parable, and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22, portray initiaL, inneR conditions of some during GWT aionion kolasis..

     The fieRy “palin/again-genesis” (Rev.21:1-5, 2Pet.3:12-13) is how death dies.}

           

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.

10-11 - Gal 4 1-7 Mark 12 1-11

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

            ☀️ A.M. Galatians 4:1-7

1 - What I (Paul) mean, is that an heir, while they are a child, is not much different from a hired servant, though they’re the owner of everything! 2 But they’re under guardians and managers until the date set by their father.

     3 This is us! While children, we’re held in bondage to the basic principles of the world. 4 But when the fullness of time came, God sent forth his Son to us, born of woman, and born under the law, 5 so he could set us free from the Law, and we could become God's sons and daughters.

    6 And because we are his heirs, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, that cries out “Father! My Father!”

     7 So you are no longer a servant, but a son or daughter, and if a son or daughter, then an heir of God. {“We shall be like Jesus” 1Jn.3:2 “the exact representation and image of God’s person” Col.1:15. THE blueprint, Jesus is called “the First” (greek “proto” and “forever preeminent”.}

     […”The lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow and their young shall lie down together” Isaiah 11:7.]

            🌙 P.M. MARK 12:1-11

    1 - Jesus then began to speak to them in parables.  (To the chief priests and the teachers of the law in Jerusalem.) He said, “A man planted a vineyard. Then he put a fence around it, dug a pit for a winepress, and built a tower for it. Then he hired tenants and went off to another country. 2 When the harvest came, he sent a hired worker to the tenants to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 But they took him, and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

     4 A little later he sent another worker, and they hit him over the head and treated him shamefully. 5 Then he sent another, who they killed! And so with many others. Some they beat, and some they killed. 6 Then he had still one other, a beloved son. And finally he sent him, thinking to himself, ‘They’ll respect my son.’ 7 But those tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir! Let’s kill him! And the inheritance will be ours.’ 8 So they seized him and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.

     9 Now what do you think the owner of the vineyard will do? Won’t he come and pay back those evil tenants, and give the vineyard to others?! 10 Have you not read the Scripture, ‘The stone [Christ] the builders rejected is THE chief stone {both of humanity and creation.. and of angels} 11 this is the Lord's doing, and it’s marvelous in our eyes’!?”

10-10 - Gal 3 22-29 Mark 11 27-33

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

            ☀️ A.M. Galatians 3:22-29

22 - The Scripture has declared all under sin. [Greek, hamartia - “missing the mark” i.e. imperfection. “HE has subjected (sugkleió - to shut up, enclose, confined) aLL to disobedience (apeitheia - disobedience, unbelief; from A "not" and peíthō - persuaded) SO he may have mercy on all” Ro.11:32] And so - the promise - by faith in Jesus, might be given to those who believe.

     23 Before faith came, we were under the law {like} held in custody, until the way of faith would be revealed. 24 So then, the law was our guardian [paidagógos - a trainer, tutor] until Christ came. This is so we might be justified by faith. 25 And now that faith has come, we are no longer under that guardian, 26 for in Christ Jesus we are sons and daughters of God through faith. 27 And when you were baptized, it represented a putting on of Christ, like putting on new clothing. 28 And therefor, in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, nor male and female, but all are one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, and an heir according to the PROMISE.

     {Heir to what? To God’s Spirit/Presence, increasing so ultimately we shall be fully “like Jesus”. A full temple of God ..yet each unique, God calls his jewels, Mal.3:17. Heirs to “the kingdom”. All under sin/futility by first pair ‘falling’.. So it’s one and done, “all of heaven and all of earth” taking this unavoidable journey through this all important contrast all together at once. Other option? Ant Farm? ..Instead, total ‘herd’ immunity? To straying from God who iS Life and “is perfect” Mt.5:48. ..So imperfection is entropy.}

            🌙 P.M. MARK 11:27-33

27 - And the next day they went again into Jerusalem. And as Jesus was walking in the temple, the chief priests, scribes and elders (leaders, authorities) came to him, 28 and they asked him, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority to do them?” (He was teaching the people and he had kicked out those buying and selling in the temple court. And had overturned their tables.) 29 Jesus said to them, “I’ll ask you a question. And if you can answer it, I’ll tell you by what authority I’m doing these things. 30 Was the baptism of John from heaven? Or was it from man?”

    31 They discussed this among their selves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he’ll say, ‘Why then didn’t you believe him?’ 32 But can we say, ‘From man’?” For they were afraid of the people, who all held that John was a prophet. 33 So they answered, “We don’t know.” And Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

           

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.

REVELATION - 8 1-6

 Weekly Book of Revelation CU Studies Journal, Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}                     

1 - Now, when the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. {A turning point, turning of a page?}

     2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven trumpets. {Same angels as the angels of the seven churches?} 3 Another angel came, and he stood at the altar. He was holding a golden censer. And then much incense was given to him. Incense, to offer with the prayers of all the saints [believers/followers] upon the gold altar that’s before the throne.

     4 And the smoke of the incense, mingled with the prayers of the saints rose up before God. {Still in the pause of 7:1,3. - Long to us - between the first seal 6 event and the next one (leaving 5 at ‘the end’/culmination? Is.24:20/Rev.10:4). Or.. after the interruption of 7:1,3 is interrupted? — The way the seals (ch 6) are described, veils what they are. And veils a lot of the vision. — This pause - 8:1 (above) I thought might be the space of time between the interruption of 7:1,3 and the Daniel 9:27 lauded by the world treaty/league/covenant, which will only last seven years after all. And will be broken in the middle against Israel. Dn.12:11-12 w/ Lk.19:41,44 and 1Cor.3:16 (and Rev.2:10 as the escalation of it?) But I forgot these next verses come after it, which seems to obviously BE that interruption of 7:1,3.}

     5 Then the angel took the censer. He filled it with fire from the altar. And he threw it on the earth!

     And there were *peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake**! 6 And now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared theirselves to blow their trumpets. [The 7th seal iS the seven trumpets.]

     {The description between * and ** being #2 of 7? #1 was the 1st seal 6 occurrence? (Rev.6:12-17; 4:10) And because the revelation vision is actually told three times, 13:13 is also the 1st seal 6 occurrence (but pinpointing an office, not yet a lawless individual who steps into an office they’re not supposed to? Chapter 6 - the seals - are the elements of the times, described as their full effects, very first to very last - and presented as a sort of swirl - especially seal 6. Their fuLL descriptions given at the BEGINNING of the vision, veils what they are, and also much of the vision.} {So pause 8:1 is part of pause 7:1,3?}

10-09 - Gal 3 16-21 Mark 11 20-26

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

            ☀️ A.M. Galatians 3:16-21

16 - The promises were made to Abraham and his offspring. God didn’t say to Abraham, “And to your offsprings,” as though meaning many, but - “to your offspring” - referring to one. And that one, is Christ.

     17 What I mean is this - the law, which came 430 years later, doesn’t cancel a covenant/contract/agreement/guarantee, previously ratified by God, so as to annul the promise. 18 For iF the inheritance comes by the law, then it’s no longer by promise.

     But God gave the promise {gave his word} to Abraham by a promise [epaggelia - a summons, promise, from epí - upon, appropriate, and aggellō - announce – a promise which literally announces what is fitting, epaggelía is a legal term that refers to an “officially sanctioned promise”]. {Fitting because it’s the “one way” that works. Also fitting because it’s “God (who) has consigned all (humanity) to disobedience”? ..To this imperfection/entropy which “doesn’t quit”. Placing and even highlighting the option to stray in Eden. And only after the one igniter/instigator and the influenced third of his angels (messengers, covering angels) were ready to seditiously revolt. Engineering a ‘quick’ one and done? For all humanity and angels. Total ant farm versus total ‘herd’ immunity? The dis-ease (running course) as part of the cure? And immunity.. “The smoke of it will rise up forever” must be as memory, because Rev.21 describes a total ReGenesis, after this unavoidable, all important contrast.}

     19 Why then the law? It was added because of transgression [parabasis - a going aside, from pará - contrary, and bainō - go].

   The law was added, until the offspring should come to whom, and about whom, the promise was made.

     The law was put in place through angels, and by a mediator. Which mediator was Moses. 20 Now a mediator is helpful if more than one party must reach an agreement.

     But God didn’t use a mediator when he gave his promise to Abraham. {HE said it. HE will do it.}

     21 Does the law then contradict the promises God has made? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that can impart life, then indeed, righteousness would come about from the law! {There’s only one source of Life. And Father God has ordained it be given and maintained through his Son, only straight out from Him one. So close, both administer God’s Spirit/Presence. Which the saturation of humanity and creation with, will equal “sealed”. 🕊️⛲️

      How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact?

     “God is savior of all, especially” (& currently) “those who believe” 1Tim.4:10. EIGHT millennial ‘days’ =‘s one and done. Jn.12:32, Rev.20.}

            🌙 P.M. MARK 11:20-26

20 - In the morning when they went back by the fig tree that Jesus had cursed, they saw it had withered away. Right down to its roots! 21 And Peter remembering said, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered.”

     22 And Jesus told his disciples, “Have faith in God. 23 For truly, I tell you - if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and don’t doubt in your heart, what you say will come to pass. It will be done for you. 24 Therefore I say, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe you receive it, and you shall!” {Especially mountains of difficulty? And much more fulfilled during the Lord’s long second advent? Etc.}

     25 “But whenever you pray, if you have something against someone, forgive them, so your Father who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses [paraptóma - false step, trespass, from parapiptó - to fall in, into or away, to fail; a lapse (deviation) from the truth, an error, slip up, wrong doing that can (even) be unconscious and non-deliberate{!}].”

           

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.
