 • Romans 12:1-9  John 6:30-40

           ☀️ Romans 12:1-9

1 -  I (Paul) appeal to you therefore, by the mercies of God, to present yourself as a living sacrifice, sacred and well pleasing to God, which is our reasonable [logikos - rational, thoughtful, reasonable, logical, root word  logos] service [latreia - worship service, ministration of God, latreúō - render sacred service].

     2 Don’t conform to this world. But be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that by testing, you may discern what’s the will of God, what is good, acceptable and perfect.

     3 By the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourselves more highly than you should, but let your thinking be with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has given. 4 For we are one body, with many members, and each part of the body has a different function. {We’re not all perfect clones of one another, and are given different talents and ways of serving.} 5 So we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.

     6 So having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them. If prophecy, in proportion to the faith. [In proportion to - (greek) analogia - from aná,  up, completing a process, and lógos - reasoning, word – properly, analogous {& logical?} reasoning.] 7 If service, in our serving. The one who teaches, in their teaching. 8 The one who encourages [parakaleó - to call to one's side, exhort, encourage, comfort, urge] in their encouraging and urging. The one who contributes, in generosity. The one who leads, with zeal, and the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. 9 Let love be genuine! Abhor what’s evil [poneros - bad, evil -> malicious] and hold tightly to what is good [agathós – “benefit, inherently (intrinsically) good; originates from God and is empowered by Him” - biblehub dot com].

            🌙 John 6:30-40

(29 - Jesus said, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”) 30 - So they asked him, “What sign will you do, that we may believe you? What proof will you do? 31 For our fathers ate manna in the wilderness, like it says, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat!’”

     32 Jesus answered, “Truly, I tell you, it wasn’t Moses who gave the bread from heaven. And my Father gives to you the true manna from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

     34 They said to him, “Sir! Give us this bread always.” 35 Jesus said, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me does not hunger, and whoever believes in me does not thirst. 36 I’ve said to you that you have seen me and yet you don’t believe. 37 But - all - the Father gives me will come to me.” [Jn.13:3 - “The Father has given [didómi - gave, granted, bestowed] all into the Son’s hand.” Pas - all, every, the whole, often translated “all things”. Translators just couldn’t quite believe “all”?]

     “And whoever comes to me I will not cast out. 38 For I’ve come down from heaven, not to do my will, but the will of he who sent me. 39 And this - is the will of he who sent me — that all - he has given me — I will not lose. But will raise up, on the last day.” 

     {There’s two “last days”! #1 The one simultaneous with his return/arrival for long second advent — Is.24:20, Rev.10:4, 2Thes.1:7, Mt.13:30 as Rev.16:14-15-16 & Mt.25:1-13. — and #2 the “8th ‘day’” the “last great day” — Lev.23:36, Jn.7:37, with initiaL conditions of some during that ‘day’, of the inner, outside of the Light darkness, etc — this is, of course, “after” the millennial Sabbath rest ..Rest from the adversary&co, Rev.20 however, is told like describing the crests of waves, and not much of the in between.}

     40 “For this is the will of my Father - that everyone who looks upon the Son and believes in him, possesses [echó - to have, hold, possess; translated as “should have”] enduring life, and I will raise them up on the  last day.”

     {A “first resurrection” strongly suggests and reveals a “second resurrection. The First one includes the “putting on of perfection, and” (thus) “immortality” 1Cor.15:51-55. But the second is separated from that by GWT judgment/discernment/review/closure for all ‘Day’ after which is the fiery “palin(again) genesis” when God says “Behold! I make all new!” [Pas - every, all, the whole.] Rev.21:1-5, 2Pet.3:12-13, Rev.20, and thus 1Cor.15:53-55, supported by 24-28.}

BOOK OF REVELATION

 (The angel continues.) 11 - “As for the beast that was and is not, it’s an eighth but it belongs to the seven {at final fulfillment, seven become one?} and it goes to destruction. 12 And the ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received ruling power, but they are to receive authority as kings - for one hour [hóra - hour, time, finite season] - together with the beast{/entity/institution}. {Ten horns, kings, seats, divisions, toes-Dn2. Rev.13:5 - And a mouth was given to it, speaking great things and blasphemy, and it was given authority for forty and two months. Second 3.5 of a lauded treaty that alas only lasts 7 yrs.}

     13 These (ten) are - of one mind - and they hand over their power and authority TO the beast. 14 They will make war against the Lamb (Ps.2, Rev.6:3-4) and the Lamb will prevail [nikaó - prevail, subdue, overcome, conquer, from nikē - have the victory, 1Cor.15:(22-)27-28] for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.”

     15 And the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.16 And the ten horns and the beast {political} will hate the prostitute {$ity Babble}. They will make her desolate and naked, and devour {consume, waste} her and will burn her with fire {warfare, seal 2, but the seals are described as a blend of their first and last effects} 17 for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and handing over their royal power to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of Earth.”

           ☀️ Romans 11:25-36

25 - And so you don’t become arrogant.. and lest you be wise in your own sight, don’t be unaware of this mystery - that a partial hardening has - come upon - Israel, untiL, the fullness of the nations is come in. 26 And so in this way, all Israel will be saved, as it’s written, “The one who delivers will come from Zion, and will banish ungodliness from Jacob. 27 And this is my covenant [agreement, contract, testament] with them when I take away their sins [hamartia - {their/our} missing the mark].”

     28 As concerns the gospel, they’re opponents. But as regards election, they’re beloved. Opponents for your sake, and beloved for the patriarchs. 29 For the gifts and calling oF God are irrevocable [ametamelétos -  not regretted, without repentance, no change of mind]. 30 For - just as - you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy - because Israel was disobedient. 31 Now they, too, have been disobedient.

     And so gentiles/the nations receive mercy. And Israel receives mercy. 32 For GOD has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.

     33 Oh, the depth of the riches! The wisdom! And the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his ways! And how unfathomable his judgments!

    34 “Who has known the mind of the LORD? Who could ever be his advisor?!” 35 “Or who has given a gift to him that could ever measure up to what he gives?” 36 For from him, and through him, and to him, is all.

           🌙 John 6:22-29

22 - On the next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the sea (of Galilee) saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus hadn’t been in the boat with his disciples, who had gone ahead without him.

     23 Other boats from Tiberias (the west side and shore) came near where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. 24 So when the crowd saw Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum, looking for him.

     25 When they found him on the other side, they said, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”26 Jesus answered, “I tell you, you’re looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. 27 Don’t chase after the foods that perish, but for the food that doesn’t fade to enduring life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.” [His Spirit/Presence.]

     28 Then they said, “What must we do? To be doing the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered, “This is the work of God - that you believe in he whom he has sent.”

 • Romans 11:12-24  Matthew 14:22-36

           ☀️ Romans 11:12-24

12 - Now if Israel’s rejecting the message means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the nations, think how much greater the blessing, when they do accept the message! 13 Now I’m speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I’m an apostle to the Gentiles, the nations, I magnify my ministry {service} 14 to hopefully make my countrymen jealous, and so save some of them.

     15 But if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their return mean but life from the dead? {Christ’s return/1st Resurrection! Mt.23:39.} 16 If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is all the dough. And if the root of the tree is holy, so are the branches. {Mt.13:33, key word 3 with 1Cor.15:22-28, three harvests.}

     17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, 18 don’t be arrogant toward the natural branches.

     If you are, remember it’s not you who support the root, but it’s the root that supports you! 19 Or you might say, “Branches were broken off to make room for me.” 20 That’s actually true. But they were broken off because of their unbelief, and you stand fast through your faith. But don’t become proud, 21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, then neither will he spare you.

     22 Note then the kindness and severity of God. Severity toward those who’ve fallen off, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in that kindness. {Evidence would be kindness as a fruit?} Or otherwise you too will be cut off {estranged}.

     23 And even they, if they don’t continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God iS able to graft them in again. {Logically, root word logos, no one can be lost (estranged) forever.} 24 And if you, from a wild olive tree, was grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more, will the natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree!

            🌙 Matthew 14:22-36

(Matthew’s account.) 22 - Jesus had the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 And after he sent the crowds home, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. And evening came, and he was there alone.

     24 It was the fourth watch of the night,  and the boat by now was a long way off from land. A wind had risen against them, and the boat was being beaten and tossed about by the waves.  25 Then Jesus came to them, walking on the water. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea toward them, they were terrified! And they cried out in fear, “It’s a ghost!” 27 But Jesus said, “Take heart! It is I! Don’t be afraid!”

    28 And Peter said, “Lord, if it’s you, tell me to come to you on the water.” 29 So Jesus said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and he walked on the water toward Jesus. 30 But then he looked around at the wind, and at the waves, and he started to sink! And he cried out, “Lord, save me!”

     31 So Jesus reached out his hand and took hold of him, “Oh ye of little faith” he said, “why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, all was quiet, for the wind had stopped blowing. 33 Those in the boat were in awe, and said, “Truly! You are the Son of God.”

     34 And they came to land at Gennesaret. 35 And when the people of that place recognized him, they sent around to all that region and brought to him all who were sick 36 and implored that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched, were made well. {Is his long second advent, after all have risen “from the tombs” Jn.5:28-29, a full scope (and “perfect” mt.5:48) version of his first so brief one?}

 • Romans 11:7-11  John 6:14-21

           ☀️ Romans 11:7-11

7 - What then? Israel failed to achieve what it was seeking. A chosen few obtained it, but the rest were hardened [póroó - hardened, made callous, rendered insensitive] 8 as it’s written, “God gave [didómi - gave, granted] them a spirit of stupor, eyes not seeing and ears not hearing, down to this very day.” 9 And David said, “Let be, their table for a snare and a trap, for a stumbling block and a retribution. 10 Let their eyes be darkened so they do not see, their backs be bent.” {With heavy burden, servitude.. their table, cause and effect. Israel as microcosm, world as macro. But God takes responsibility. And so Father and Son - who said, “Let us make mankind in our image” able to think and reason - they suffer most of all. Surely, no option to stray in Eden, would’ve been a mere ant farm. We have merely scraped the surface of the glories of God’s wonderful creation! See Isaiah 11:7 just to start, and to say nothing of a huge beautiful and glorious family ..of all, Greek word pas - all, every, the whole, usually translated “all things”. God being Life itself, lives through everything, so suffers all atrocities. He also “is perfect” so to stray in thought, word or deed in any tiny way, is to become imperfect. Opposite to Life. It’s also an abyss of potential don’t you think? Already proven.. Makes sense of the Revelation chapter nine abyss.. natural sense ..which is what everything is. God’s voice is Logic. Root word Logos. I hope I don’t do anything or not do anything to miss that door to serving called reigning during long second advent. Surely(?!) a full scope version of His first so brief one. My one RuLe, Love God. Hope I’m not kidding myself in any way. He once told me when you think you’ve submitted, given and surrendered down to the very floor of your being.. that’s when to start pulling up floorboards. Metaphor of course. Be a “whole burnt offering “ on his altar! Burnt by a slow gehenna that’s “not put out” - entropy/imperfection. This one and done unavoidable, all important contrast. The dis-ease as part of the cure. And immunity.. T.H.I total herd immunity. How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd keep paradise/perfection intact? Original point being GOD “hardens whom he will”. It says plainly God blinded Israel, microcosm, type, shadow cast of the whole, and has blinded mankind, all humanity, every one of us, macrocosm. Satan despises Israel. And Christianity. And any civilization but run by him, especially Western. Built on the iron and bronze of Daniel 2 and 7:7,19 (Roman and Greek). And also of course upon more or less a Christian aNd Judeo-Christian foundation. In large part “fallen away” now because our, the world’s “false prophet” has “seated man(kind) in the temple as god”/highest power.. A “strong delusion”. This prophet also enabled Rev.13:13.. And has other “miracles to mislead” up its sleeve. There’s a subtle key to 13:13, yes?}

     11 So I (Paul) ask! Did they (Israel) stumble in order to perish [piptó - fall, fail, degrade, perish]? Certainly noT! Rather, through their trespass salvation/rescue has come to the nations!

           🌙 John 6:14-21

14 - When the people saw the miracle that Jesus had done, they said to one another, “This must be the Prophet who’s to come into the world!”

     15 Jesus saw they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, so he went away to the mountain alone. 16 And when it was evening, his disciples went down to the sea 17 and got into a boat. They started back across to Capernaum, as it was now dark, and Jesus hadn’t come back yet.

     18 The lake became rough because a strong wind was blowing. 19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw a strange thing and were affrighted. But it was Jesus walking on the water toward them. 20 He called out, “It’s me! Don’t be afraid!” 21 Then they were happy and took him on board, and immediately the boat came to land at Capernaum, to where they had been going.

ACTS 17 1-14

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

     Book of the Acts of the First Believers

 (Where Did Paul Get His Message?)

(After being beaten, flogged and jailed in Philippi) 1 - They passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, and came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue, 2 so Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbaths he reasoned from the Scriptures [how Jesus fulfilled the suffering messiah prophecies, and Isaiah 53:4 - “Surely He has borne our infirmities..”] 3 explaining and proving that it was predicted the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead [Ps.16:10] and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you is the Christ” [Christos - Christ, anointed one, messiah, from the Greek verb χρίω-chrio - to anoint]. 4 And some who were there were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas, as did many of the devout Greeks and quite a few of the leading women. 5 But the leaders were jealous, so they sought out some men from the market square, and persuaded them to form a mob and a rabble, and to set the city in uproar. {Hired agitators.} They attacked the house of Jason, 6 and forced him and some of the brothers out into the crowd, and then dragged them before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here! 7 Jason has received them! And they’re all acting against the decrees of Caesar! Saying there’s another king, Jesus!”

     8 And the people and the city authorities were disturbed when they heard this. 9 They took money as security from Jason and the others, and then they let them go.

     10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they went into the synagogue. 11 Now these people were more noble than those in Thessalonica, and received the word/message with all eagerness, and were examining the Scriptures daily to see if it were so. [Paul, previously Saul, had been a Pharisee, and was raised and educated in the scriptures.] 12 Many of them believed, with quite a few Greek women of high standing as well as men. 13 But when the synagogue leaders from Thessalonica learned that the message of God was proclaimed by Paul at Berea, they came there and agitated and stirred up the crowds there as well. 14 Then the brothers immediately sent Paul off by way of the sea, but Silas and Timothy remained in Berea for a while.

           ☀️ Romans 11:1-6

{A little Greek word, “telos, tel” root of telescope, I read years ago in a commentary, was a perfect illustration of how prophecy is fulfilled. Tel, telos is interpreted “end” as in the end, but it more closely means the “end-aim”. And prophecy, like a telescope is fulfilled from smaller scope to full scope at the end-aim of it. Like Israel “all we like sheep have gone astray” as smaller scope, to all humanity, full scope. Prophecy is the same, from ‘smaller’ scope to full scope at the culmination of this unavoidable one and done. Same with the advents!}

1 - I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself (Paul) am an Israelite. A descendant of Abraham and a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected his people which he foreknew {would happen?} Do you know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God about Israel? 3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets! They have demolished your altars! And only I am left! And they seek my life.” 4 But what is God's reply? “I have kept for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 So too, at the present time there’s a remnant, chosen by grace. 6 But if it’s by grace, it’s no longer on the basis of self effort, otherwise grace wouldn’t be grace.

            🌙 Matthew 14:15-21

(This reading schedule is the four gospels into two six month readings, so there is sometimes repetition.) 15 - As evening was approaching, the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a lonely place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages to buy food.”

     16 Jesus said, “They don’t need to go. You can give them something to eat.” 17 They answered, “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish.” 18 “Bring them to me,” Jesus said. 19 He had the people sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves, and gave the bread and fish to the disciples, and the disciples passed it out to the people. 20 And they all ate and were satisfied. The disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.
