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.

 • 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  Matthew 14:15-21 and ACTS 17:1-14 separately

           ☀️ 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.

 • Romans 10:16-21  John 6:1-13

           ☀️ Romans 10:16-21

(Paul is grieved because the majority of his kinsmen are not understanding the message. Though it had been written about by the Hebrew prophets, what we know of, as part of the Old Testament.) 16 - But they have not all obeyed the message of God, the gospel [euaggelion - gospel, GOOD news]. For Isaiah says, “LORD, who has believed our report?!” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the words [rhema - utterance] of Christ. 18 But I ask, have they heard? Indeed, “the voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” 19 But I ask, did Israel understand? {Outer law/rules couldn’t work for even one nation. Couldn’t work with the first pair. So what is God’s other options for creation? How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? For thinking includes at least some power of choice. God as Life, witnesses and lives through all that ever occurs, and he endowed thinking and reasoning anyway!}

     First Moses says, “I will make you jealous by those not a nation. By a nation without understanding I will make you angry.” 20 And later Isaiah is so bold as to say, “I have been found by those who didn’t look for me. I’ve made myself known to those who didn’t ask for me.” 21 But of Israel he says, “All day long I’ve held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.” {Israel, smaller scope, humanity, full scope -> pattern of prophecy, and more.} {Was western civilization more or less God’s.. Some of the west has “fallen away”? We have seated ourselves (mankind) in the temple as god”/highest power.. and so the old gods are returning. Same pattern.. Abraham called to a new land.. amidst seriously warring tribes.. over time and turmoil.. a nation, named for God. Christianity sprouted wings as well {rev.12:6,14} and formed western civilization.. Wasn’t perfect, but there was freedom from overlords.. Everything goes corrupt. Institutions start out good. They get infiltrated and highjacked, a corrupt process. The light of God, his Spirit/Presence is a shield against darkness.. But only as perfect as we are! Therefor can be, or become a weak shield? How much of his Presence is with us?

     The trend of the world is division. A whole other energy.}

            🌙 John 6:1-13

1 - After this Jesus crossed over to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias. 2 A large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs he was doing and how he healed the sick. 3 He went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. 4 It was the  days (week and feast) of Passover (or also called week of Unleavened Bread). 5 Seeing a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so all these people may eat?” 6 He said this to test and to teach, for he knew what he was about to do.

     7 Philip thought about it and said, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for each to have a little!” 8 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said, 9 “There’s a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what is that to so many?”

     10 They were in a field of grass, so Jesus told the disciples to tell the people to sit down. And so they did, about five thousand men, and women and children. {Yes women were not counted, remember God had told Eve (prophesied) the stronger would ruLe the weaker. Because straying is imperfection/entropy, and an abyss of potential, so all range of misdeeds and oppressions were bound to occur. And self first and foremost is bound to (especially in power and politics) be dog eat dog.}

     11 Jesus took the loaves they had, gave {an offering and sacrifice of} thanks. {Dan.12:11! w/ Lk.19:41,44?}  And they distributed the bread to those who were seated. So also with the fish, and everyone ate as much as they wanted.

     12 When they had finished, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing be lost.” 13 So they gathered up the left over pieces, filling twelve baskets with fragments from the five - barley - loaves. {Parable by numbers, even we basket cases will be saved. Trivia - the barley harvest in Israel is the first of three main harvests, a shadow and type of Mt.13:33, key word 3, with 1Cor.15:22-24,27-28 - and in vs  27-28, the five “all things” in vs 27, should read “all” like the two in vs 28. And then, what does the verse repeat five times?}

 • Romans 10:11-15  Matthew 14:1-14

           ☀️ Romans 10:11-15

11 - For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be shamed.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek {between hebrew and former practicing pagan} for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call upon him. 13 For “everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord is saved.”

     14 How then will someone call upon him, if they don’t believe he is? And how can they believe he is, if they’ve never heard of him? And how are they to hear without someone telling them? 15 And how are they to tell it, unless they’re sent? As it’s written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who tell the GOOD news!” {Father in heaven “is Perfect” Mt.5:48 - 100% good news.}

            🌙 Matthew 14:1-14

[To be tetrarch was to be a leader/ruler over a fourth part of a region - tetra, a fourth, and arch, ruler.] At about that time, Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus, 2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist! He’s been raised from the dead! This is why these miracles are happening.” 3 For Herod had seized John, chained him and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, 4 because John had said to him, “It’s not lawful for you to have her.” {I read both Herod and Philip were Herodias’ uncles.} 5 And though he wanted to put him to death (previously having listened to him) he feared the people, because they held him as a prophet. {Herod was a son of Herod the Great, and was a Hebrew.} 6 But when Herod's birthday came around, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company and pleased Herod, 7 so much so that he promised, with an oath, to give her whatever she might ask. 8 So she asked her mother what she should ask for. And Herodias said “Ask for the head of John the Baptist to be brought to us on a platter!”

     9 The king was sorry when he heard it, but because of his oath and his guests who heard it, he commanded it to be done. 10 And sent and had John beheaded in the prison. 11 And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

     12 John’s disciples came and took the body and buried it, and then they went and told Jesus what had happened. (Mary, though much younger, was a relative of Elizabeth, John’s mother. So Jesus and John were related. John was six months older than Jesus.)

     13 And when Jesus was told, he withdrew from there by boat to go to a lonely place by himself. But when the crowds heard of it, they hurriedly followed on foot from all the towns.

     14 And when he came to shore he saw a great crowd and felt compassion for them. And all their sick [árrhōstos - from A - not, and rhṓnnymi - leave, depart; properly, a persisting illness – literally "that will not leave" chronic ill-health] he healed.

No Option To Stray

I think of how Jesus said, “All those in the tombs/graves will hear God’s voice and will come forth” (from the graves/tombs) “some into the resurrection of life” - which would be into THE millennium, to serve called reigning? During his long second advent. A full scope version of his so brief first one?

 And some, in the resurrection into (the GWT) judgment”/discernment/review/closure for all (‘day’) - Jn.5:28-29, part of his long, second advent, and which elsewhere He calls “kolasin aionion” or “korrection eonian”  - Mt.25:46. An age of correction! But translated as ‘forever punishment’.

     Logically, this will be the completing of John 12:32? - Jesus “will draw all”. Inner, initial conditions of some portrayed in the rich man, poor man parable, and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22.

     It being a matter of had there been no option to stray in Eden, we’d be an ant farm?! But God is Life, and “is perfect” (Mt.5:48) so to stray is imperfection and entropy. This unavoidable, all important contrast, a slow gehenna fade that isn’t put out and doesn’t quit.

     So it’s Ant Farm versus this one and done, the dis-ease as part of the cure? And immunity..

    Being Life, every spark and breath of, means he lives through and suffers all that ever occurs. Yes? And endowed genuine thinking and reasoning ability anyway! Engineered this ‘quick’ one and done. Issue being? How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, and keep paradise/perfection intact?

REVELATION - 17 1-10

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

BOOK OF REVELATION

1 - Then one of the seven angels who had the seven (concurrent?) bowls came and said to me (disciple/apostle John) “Come, I’ll show you the {meanwhile} judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of earth have committed fornication.” {I.e, powers and politicians are in bed with her.} “And those upon Earth have become drunk with the wine of her indecencies.”

     3 And the angel carried me away in the Spirit to a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of slanderous insults/blasphemes, and it had seven heads and ten horns. {A many headed geopolitical beast, Dan.7:7,19, a key - the iron and bronze of Dan-2.} 4 The woman {riding the beast} was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold, jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup (to drink) full of abominations and impurities. {‘Her’ fruits and side effects.}

     5 And on her forehead was written a name, “Mystery Babylon the Great, Mother of Prostitution [porné - probably from pernémi - to export for sale] and of all Earth's Abominations [bdélygma - from bdelýssō, derived from bdēō, to reek {stink to high heaven ..as the saying goes} abhorrent, detestable]”. {$ity Babylon with it’s bright but garish streets and dark alleys, with a forehead/psyche/mind of ‘mystery babble’ - all confusion. Beast & $ity, Socialism & Capitalism both go extreme, free trade gone nutz and indecent. Oligarchy, but which ends up going all armageddon at each other(?) in the valley when assembled against Israel? Just a recurring question. Yet verses 12 and 16 for sure, which says “the ten horns ..are ten kings who for one hour receive authority ..along with the (many headed geopolitical) beast” of the hour “they will hate her, bring her to ruin, and consume/deplete her, and raze her with fire..” She rides the huge beast, but what will happen when the huge beast rides her?}

     6 And I saw the woman {empire} drunk with the blood of saints, and of martyrs, and of Jesus.” And when I saw her I wondered greatly.

     7 But the angel said, “Why do you wonder? I’ll tell you the mystery of the woman (the $ity) and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.” {She rode the beasts, soon one, to all seven hills/continents.}

     8 “The beast you saw was, then is not, and is destined to rise from the abyss” {of potential that imperfect is?} “and go to its destruction.” {History repeats, first was the Roman Empire later ‘Holy’ Roman Empire; then a modern last days “was, wasn’t ..then was again” after the 13:13 event, an event carried out by an oFFice.}

     “And those upon earth whose names are not {yet} written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder, seeing the beast that was, and is not, and then is.

    9 This all calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated. {Seven hills/continents.} 10 They are also seven kings {world empires?} five have fallen, one is (Rome and all Roman based? During which there is “wars to the end” Dan.9:26) the other (global) has not yet come and when he/it does come, it must remain only a little while.” {Alas, though lauded as peace, peace! will only last seven years? And be broken in the middle against Israel (Luke 19:41,44?) Then - Dan.12:11 - “1,290 days later - that is 3.5 hebrew calendar years plus 30 days later - will be set up the (final) abomination which causes desolation” ..This time upon the human temple meant for God’s Spirit/Presence? 1Corinthians 3:16 - “know you not, you are a temple of God?” And then, next verse, Dan.12:12 - “blessed is the one/those who wait, and come to, the days, 1,335” which is 45 days later? The last “ten days” escalating to most critical-Rev.2:10? “until the end that is decreed is poured out..” Dan.9:27.}

 • Romans 10:1-10  Matthew 13:44-58 and Rev.17:1-10 separately

           ☀️ Romans 10:1-10

1 - My heart's desire and my prayer to God for my countrymen is for their salvation. 2 For I (Paul) bear witness about them, that they have a genuine zeal for God! But not according to accurate knowledge. 3 For not understanding the righteousness of God, they are seeking to achieve their own righteousness, and are missing the mark by not submitting to God, and his righteousness. 4 The end and reason [telos - the end-aim] of the Law is Christ, the true righteousness to everyone who believes. {Receives.}

     5 Moses wrote about the righteousness that’s anchored upon the law {external and society preservative} that the person who does the commandments shall live by them.

     6 But the righteousness based upon faith {internal} says, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” that is, to bring Christ down {to ones self? I will do it!} 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” that is, to bring Christ up from the dead! 8 But what does it say? “The word/message is near you. It’s in your heart and on your tongue” that is, the word of faith that we proclaim. 9 For if you say “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart {know} that God raised him from the dead, you are saved! {Name written in the “Lamb’s Book of Life”.}

     10 For with the heart we believe and are freely justified and saved, and we find ourselves speaking it. [“Sozo” - saved, safe, rescued, delivered]. {Sealed by God’s Spirit/Presence.. the true baptism is “of the Spirit whereby we cry abba Father! The seal (notary) and guarantee that we are his” Romans 8:15-16. “He has set his seal of ownership upon us, which is his Spirit in our heart, the deposit, down payment, pledge, and guarantee of all that is to come” 2 Corinthians 1:22.}

            🌙 Matthew 13:44-58

44 - (Jesus continues.) “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure! Treasure that’s hidden in a field. And when someone finds it, they’ll cover it over again, and in joy go and sell all they have and will then go and buy that field.” 

    45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 and when he finds one of great value, he’ll sell all he has so he can buy that one pearl.

      47 And again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that’s thrown into the sea and gathers fish of every kind. 48 And when it’s full, men draw the net to shore and sort the fish, keeping the good and throwing back the bad. 49 So it will be at the end of the age” {harvest, fruits ripened}. The angels will come and separate the evil [poneros - bad, evil, malicious] from among [mesos - midst, middle, among] the righteous [dikaios - righteous, just, upright, fair] 50 and will throw them into the fiery furnace.” {The fiery judgment that is simultaneous with Jesus’ return surely(?) is the armageddon battle. Also is where there is a first mention of a lake of fire. (All three mentions are at large, fiery events.) This fiery furnace at history’s culmination cannot be an afterlife fiery forever pit ruled by Satan&co.. For those not saved during this life rise a thousand years later into GWT judgment ‘day’. For duration, see Rev.20 and the Fall holy days of Lev.23. Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32, because “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10. But at history’s conclusion and world’s judgment, armageddon, Rev.10:4..}

     “There will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.” {Results, consequences, judgment.}

    51 “Have you understood all these things?” They answered, “Yes.”

     52 “Everyone who’s been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the head of a household, who brings out of their supplies, treasure, both old and new.” [The bread and wine.. the personified logos (Jesus) and the written logos - logos means “reasoning, message, word” and is the root word of Logic. (2Tim.3:16)]

     53 And when Jesus had finished these parables, he left there, 54 and coming to his hometown, he was teaching in the synagogue. The people were surprised and were saying, “Where did he get this wisdom and these mighty works? 55 Isn’t this the carpenter's son? Isn’t his mother named Mary? And aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56 And don’t all his sisters live here? Where then did he get all this?”

     57 And they were offended at him. But Jesus said, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own household.” 58 And he was not able to do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief. (We have letters which were written later by his brothers, James and Jude.)
