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

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

            ༺☀️༻ 1 Corinthians 1:1-3

1 - (From) Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, 2 to the church [ekklésia - from ek - out from and to, and kaléō - to call; (to the) ecclesia, assembly, group] {people} of God in Corinth {the called out, and called to}. To those set apart in Christ Jesus, and called to be his holy {sacred, set apart} people - together with aLL those everywhere - {of every time/aion/age} who call on the name of our Lord Jesus. Their Lord and ours.

     3 Grace and peace to you! From God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Messiah (Christos/Christ).

            ༺☾𖤓༻ LUKE 21:1-7

1 - As Jesus was in the temple, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, 2 including a poor widow who put in two very small copper coins. 3 He then said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 For they gave from their wealth. But she, out of her poverty has put in what she had to live on.”

     5 Some of the disciples were saying how the temple was built with such beautiful and impressive stones and was arrayed in beauty and dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6 “As for all you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left upon another, but every one of them will be thrown down.” {In Lk.19:41,44 - Jesus says, “Jerusalem, Jerusalem.. not oNe stone will be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down” imo, portraying the “70 weeks gap”! WiTh Dan.12:11(12) (aNd 1Cor.3:16).}

     7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all that happen?! And what will be the sign that it’s about to take place?” {Prophecy is fulfilled in scopes, the “smaller” more immediate fulfillment, and the full scope at the culmination/apocalypse/unveiling. Does Dan.12:11(12) begin the full scope countdown? of 45 days, last “ten days” escalating to most critical? Rev.2:10.} {Prophecy is veiled by its riddles? Fulfilled as ‘smaller scope’ then larger full scope,  also pertains to the Lord’s two advents, 2nd being a full scope version of his 1st, but with helpers serving, called reigning?}

Jesus “wiLL draw all” Jn.12:32.

10-19 - Gal 6 9-18 Mark 12 35-44

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

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

            ༺☀️༻ Galatians 6:9-18

9 - Let us not grow weary and give up on doing good, for we’ll reap in due season! 10 As we have opportunity, we should do good to all. Especially, to those who are of the household of faith. {Our currently closest brothers and sisters.}

     11 See with what large letters I’m writing to you with my own hand. (Paul had developed eye trouble.) 12 It is those who want to show themselves off as making a good show who would force you to be circumcised. {Or whatever requirement(s) they demand}. And this is only in order that they won’t be criticized for the cross of Christ. {Hebrew believers wanting friendship and approval from their world, of their day and place. Today, a personal conviction, or preference, about when to keep Sabbath, for example, is well and good, but is not a commandment.} 13 For even those who are circumcised don’t themselves keep the law, but they want to have you circumcised that they may boast in you. {Believers can be misled by wanting followers of themselves? Setting self up as an example and leader?} 14 But I don’t want to boast in anything, except in the cross {salvation, rescue} of our Lord Jesus, the Christ [christos - anointed one].

     And by him I’ve been crucified to the world. And the world has been crucified to me. 15 Circumcision {or whatever requirement} doesn’t matter. Whether you are circumcised or not circumcised, makes no difference. What matters is being a new creation! [Romans 14:5,6]

     16 And for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them! And upon the Israel {whole household} of God. {Yes we are “grafted into Israel”. There “is no longer hebrew or greek, male or female (in spiritual status). The world’s nation Israel is still exactly in God’s plan as he has designed during this course through imperfection/entropy. Which is unavoidable? Unless creation’s to be an ant farm? And, Israel figures much in biblical prophecy, as does the u.s. but in different roles. The U.S. plays two roles, two beginnings, Rev.12:14(white hat) and $ity of babble (free enterprise highjacked and gone “harlot”/pornea) locale now gone to all 7hills/continents. And Rev.13:13 pinpointed an office, which event was another beginning..) Also involved of course, World politics, the many headed geopolitical beaSt, Rev.17:12,16-18. But! The Revelation vision has been, in very large part, veiled due to its riddles! And lake of fire unable to be deciphered early on..} 

     17 And from now on let no one cause me (Paul) any trouble. For I bear on my body, the scars of having served Jesus.

     18 The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you, brothers and sisters. Amen.

            ༺☾𖤓༻ MARK 12:35-44

35 - As Jesus was teaching in the temple, he said, “How can the scribes say that Messiah (Greek Christ) is the son of David? 36 When David, by the Holy Spirit, said, ‘The LORD said to my Lord, sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.’ 37 How can David call him Lord if he’s his son and descendant?”

     The people were happy to listen to Jesus. {The LORD said to my Lord.. as in 1Cor.15:27 and 28 where eveRy all is “all” - greek word pas. So what is actually repeated three times in verse 27?}

     38 And he said, “Be wary of the scribes. For they like to walk around in long robes, to be greeted in the marketplaces, 39 and to have the best seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at feasts. 40 Yet they devour widows' houses! And as a pretense make long prayers. They’ll receive the greater judgment.”

     41 Later, he was sitting a short way from the treasury (box) and was watching the people put money in. Many wealthy people put in many silver coins. 42 But then a poor widow came in who put in two small copper coins.

     43 So he called his disciples over and said to them, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than anyone else. 44 For they have put in out of their abundance. But she out of her poverty, has put in all she had.”

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.

10-18 - Gal 6 1-8 Luke 20 41-47

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

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

            ༺☀️༻ Galatians 6:1-8

1 - Brethren, if someone has become captured by a transgression [paraptóma - from parapipto: a side-slip (lapse or deviation), i.e. (unintentional) error or (willful) transgression -- fall, fault, offense, sin, trespass] you who are spiritual should restore them in a spirit of gentleness. But keep a watch upon yourself, lest you be tempted and pulled in as well. 2 But if you carry one another's burdens, you’ll fulfill the law of Christ. {Versus “bite and devour one another”? Gal.5:15.} 3 For if any of us thinks we are someone, we deceive our self.

     4 We should all test our own work, for then we will have the satisfaction of a job well done and won’t need to compare ourself to another. 5 Everyone has a burden to bear that is theirs only.

     6 Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. 7 Don’t be deceived, God is not mocked.

    Whatever one sows {puts out} is what they reap. 8 For the one who sows to the {so easily misled} carnal, lower nature will reap corruption [phthora - destruction, decay, decomposition] {things fall apart}. But the one who sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit they will reap a harvest of Life enduring!

     “...You who are spiritual should restore them in a spirit of gentleness..”

            ༺☾𖤓༻ LUKE 20:41-47

[When the Pharisees, scribes and some elders (leaders, authorities) had come and asked him “by what authority do you do these things?” (Teach the people, and he had overturned the tables of those selling in the temple courts.] 21 His answer to them was {a riddle} - “How is it said that the Christ is David's son? 42 For David says in the Book of Psalms, ‘The LORD said to my Lord, sit here at my right hand, 43 until I make your enemies your footstool.’ 44 If David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”

     45 And in the hearing of all the people he told his disciples, 46 “Beware of those who like to walk around in long robes. And who love respectful greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the meeting places, and the seats of honor at feasts. 47 But who devour widows' houses, and as a show and pretense, make lengthy prayers. They shall receive greater condemnation” [krima - judgment, verdict, condemnation, decision].

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

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

            ༺☀️༻ Galatians 5:22-26

22 - The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such as that there is no law {needed}. 24 For those who belong to Jesus have crucified the flesh {lower, selfish nature} with its passions [pathéma - suffering, affliction, passion] and desires [epithumia - forbidden passions].

    25 If we live by the Spirit{/Presence of God our Father who is Love, Life and “is perfect”} let us daily walk in his Spirit. 26 Not becoming boastful and conceited, not provoking one another to anger {harsh thoughts and words} and envying one another. {Competing.}

            ༺☾𖤓༻ MARK 12:28-34

28 - A scribe came along and heard them disputing about resurrection, and hearing Jesus answer so well, he asked him, “Which commandment is the most important one?”

     29 And Jesus said, “The most important, is ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God is one.” {Especially important in the ancient time of plural gods, the time of “the gods”. That God was not one of the plural ‘gods’ that were in the likeness of present imperfect humanity.}

     30 “And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul [psyche], with all your mind, and with all your strength.’” {With all our very being. Logical since God iS life.. and Love.} 31 “The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no greater commandment than these.”

     32 And the scribe said, “You are right, Teacher! You have truly said that he is one, and there is no other besides him. 33 And to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” {Those to appease the human conscience! We know we’re flawed. When we mess up we know it. And we will, sabotage and punish ourselves, perhaps sneakily like a monster hiding under the bed.}

     34 And Jesus, seeing that the scribe had answered wisely, said to him, “You’re not far from the kingdom of God.” After that no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.

REVELATION - 8 7-13

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

༺✧༻ 🍁🍂༺✧༻

{I think these are descriptions of things and happenings done by man. We have his number! We are made of carbon and carbon has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons.

     Review - verses 5 and 6, just previous - {Can it be avoided I wonder..} The angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar, and with the prayers of the ‘saints’/believers. And he threw the mixture upon the earth! And there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake. {The interrupting of 7:1,3? Which verses (7:1,3) are the holding back of the winds (logically, of seal 6, Rev.6:12-17) after their first occurrence.

     But the seal is described as its total effects -  first to last - at the very beginning of the vision! This is a veil over the vision. One of three or four?

     Counting these ‘flashes’ this one is (#2).}

       6 And now the seven angels who have the seven trumpets prepared to sound.

     7 - The first angel blew his trumpet, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and it was thrown upon the earth, and a third of earth was burned up, and a third of trees, and (where it was?) all the green grass was burned up. {#3}

     8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something that looked like a great mountain on fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became as blood. 9 A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships (and trade) were destroyed. {#4}

    10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, like a falling torch. And it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. (7:17) 11 The name of the star is Wormwood {interestingly in Russian is chernobyl}. A third of the waters became bitter, and many people died from the water. {#5}

     12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was stricken, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light was darkened, and a third of the day did not give its light, and so it was also for a third of the night. {#6}

     13 Then I looked, and saw an eagle flying overhead and it cried out with a loud voice -  “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell upon earth, because of the soundings of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to sound..”

10-16 - Gal 5 16-21 Luke 20 27-40

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year, Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

           ༺☀️༻ Galatians 5:16-21

16 - So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t gratify the lower nature. 17 For the temptations of it are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against it. The natural man [person born from Adam, the adamic nature] and the Spirit {Presence of God} are opposed to each other. So we can’t do what the lower nature may want.

     18 But if we are “led by” the Spirit (of God), we don’t need to be “under” the law. 19 Now the works of the lower nature {the imperfect “human nature with its frailties” and self first pursuits} are evident: sexual immorality [porneía] impurity [akatharsía (a-catharsis) - from A - not and katharós - unmixed; so not unmixed] debauchery [aselgeia - licentiousness, debauchery, inordinate sensuality, lewdness] 20 idolatry [eidólolatria - from eidólon and latreia - image worship - (worship of) image/replica/likeness/statue/hologram/psuedo; so idolatry] sorcery [pharmakeia - sorcery, enchantment] enmity [echthra - hostility, hatred] strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions. 21 Envy, drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I’ve said before, those who do such as these are not entering the kingdom of God.

            ༺☾𖤓༻ LUKE 20:27-40

27 - There also came to Jesus some Sadducees, who deny that there is resurrection out of death. 28 They asked him a question, saying, “Teacher, Moses gave us a law that if a man dies, leaving a wife but no children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will then carry on the brother’s name. 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And the second, 31 and the third wed her, and likewise all seven. But none left a child and died. 32 Afterward the woman also died. 33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will she be?! For the seven had her as wife.”

       34 Jesus said, “The sons and daughters of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But not those who are accounted worthy of [kataxioó - (kata axios) - a proper fit (for)] the age [aion] of the resurrection which is out of death.

     {The other resurrection is as “the dead great and small” who rise into the “aionion kolasis” (eonian korrection / age of correction). They rise “still in their sins” - hamartia - “missing the mark” ..hence “correction”. Logically all of us undergo the same “correction”. Which is wonderfully portrayed by John the baptist and the Lord’s Baptism.}

     They neither wed nor are given, in marriage. 36 Nor do they die anymore, because they are as the angels. And are sons and daughters of God, and of the resurrection.

     37 Even as Moses showed that the dead aRe raised. In the passage about the bush, he calls the LORD the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 Now he’s not God of the dead. But is God of the living. For aLL live to him.”

     39 Then some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you’ve spoken well.” 40 And they no longer dared to ask him any question. [Rev.20:5 says - “This is the first resurrection. The rest of the dead do not come back-to-life until the thousand years are ended.” There are therefore two resurrections with accompanying vivification, but the 2nd resurrection and vivification are separated by the GWT Judgment {discernment, closure} ‘day’ which is surely(?) the aionion kolasis.

     REV.21:5 - “Behold! I make all new!” Greek word “pas” - every, all, the whole.]

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.
