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.

ACTS 8 25-40

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

Book of the Acts of the First Believers

25 - After they had further proclaimed the word of the Lord and testified about Jesus, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem, preaching the good news to many villages of the Samaritans along the way.

     26 Now at about this time an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Go south to the desert road that runs from Jerusalem to Gaza.”

     27 So he went and he came upon an Ethiopian eunuch who was an official of the court of Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians. He was the official in charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship. 28 And he was now returning home, seated in his chariot, reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 And the Spirit{/Presence of God} said to Philip, “Go near to this chariot.”

     30 So Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and said, “Do you understand what you’re reading?”

     31 And the eunuch answered, “How can I? Unless someone tell me what it means?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him in the chariot.

     32 The passage of Scripture he was reading was, “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter. And like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he said not a word. 33 He was humiliated and justice was denied him. And who can describe his descendants? For his life was taken away from the earth.”

     34 And the eunuch said to Philip, “If I may ask, who does the prophet say this about? About himself, or someone else?”

     35 Then Philip, beginning with that verse, told him the good news about Jesus. 36 And as they were going along the road they came to a body of water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized!?” 38 And so he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.

     39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the LORD carried Philip away. The eunuch saw him no more, and he continued on his way rejoicing.

     40 Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he went on, he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

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

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. 2 John 1:1-3

1 - The elder to the elect lady and her children (to a believing group, meeting in a home) whom I love in all genuineness. And so does everyone else knowing truth. 2 This is because the truth lives in us, and will be with us to the age. 3 Also with us, grace, mercy and peace from [para] God the Father and from [para] Jesus Christ his Son, in truth and love. {Truth and Love go together?!}

            🌙 P.M. MARK 9:14-24

14 - When Jesus, with Peter, James, and John came down from the mountain, they saw a large crowd around the rest of the disciples, and the teachers of the law were arguing with them. 15 When the crowd saw Jesus, they ran to him and joyfully greeted him.

     16 He asked the disciples what the teachers had been arguing with them about, 17 and someone from the crowd said, “Teacher, I brought my son, for he has a spirit that makes him mute. 18 And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, he grinds his teeth and foams at the mouth, and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they couldn’t.”

     19 Then Jesus said, “Oh unbelieving generation.” {Humanity.} [Genea - race, family, generation, kind.] “How long will I be with you? To carry you! Bring him to me.”

     20 And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw Jesus, it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

     21 And Jesus asked the father, “How long has this been happening?” And he said, “From early childhood. 22 And it has often thrown him into fire and into water, trying to destroy him! But if you can, have compassion and help us!”

     23 “‘If I can’?” Jesus said, “All things are possible if you believe.” 24 The father said, “I do believe! Help my unbelief!” [Apistia - unbelief, unfaithfulness, distrust, doubt.]

08-27 - 1John 5 14-21 Luke 9 37-45

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

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. 1John 5:14-21

14 - And this is the confidence we have, that if we ask anything - according to His will - he hears us. 15 And if he hears us, we have the requests we ask for. 16 So if you see your brother or sister sinning [hamartanó - missing the mark] ask, and God will give them life (repentance/turning). Unless it’s the sin unto death. Concerning that I cannot say. {Blasphemy/insulting the very Spirit/Presence of God. Called ‘the unforgivable sin’. The unable to be forgiven sin while it’s being practiced! “All the world’s a stage” - Shakespeare.}

    17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is missing the mark that isn’t death {to the faith and “walk”}. 18 For we know that everyone who has been born of God doesn’t just keep on sinning! For God protects them from the evil one. 19 We know that we’re from God, but “the world” lies in the POWER of the evil one. 20 And we know the Son of God has come and has given us understanding. This is so we may know He who is True. And we are in him, the true one, through his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God, and iS life enduring. 21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 9:37-45

37 - On the next day, when Jesus, with John, James and Peter came down from the mountain, a great crowd was waiting. 38 And a man from the crowd cried out, “Teacher! Please come! And look at my son! He’s my only child! 39 An evil spirit seizes hold of him. And he suddenly cries out and it convulses him so badly, he foams at the mouth! It bruises him, and it keeps coming back. 40 I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they couldn’t!”

     41 Jesus answered, “Oh unbelieving and twisted {missing the mark} generation {humans} how long am I to be with you and tolerate you? Bring your son here.”

     42 And even while he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and presented him back to his father. 43 And the crowd was in awe of the majesty of God.

     But while they were all marveling at all which he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples, 44 “Listen carefully to these words, let them sink into your ears - the Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of man.” {The world.} 45 But they didn’t understand what it was he was saying. It was hidden from them, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

ACTS 8 1-24

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

Book of the Acts of the First Believers

1 - And (Pharisee) Saul approved of his (Stephen’s) execution. And on that very day, a great persecution arose against the church in Jerusalem {and crested} and the believers were scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.

     2 Devout men buried Stephen and great lamentation was shared over him. 3 Meanwhile Saul was ravaging the church, entering house after house, he dragged men and women off to prison.

     4 But those who were scattered went about preaching the message. 5 Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Messiah/Christ. 6 And the crowds as one were listening to what Philip was saying. They heard him because they saw the signs he did. 7 They saw unclean spirits, crying out with loud voices, come out of many. And many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. 8 So there was much joy in that city.

     9 But there was a man there, named Simon, who was a practitioner of magic, and who had astonished the people, proclaiming himself as someone great. 10 They all, least to greatest, paid attention to him, saying, “This man is the power of God who is called Great.” 11 And they listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his magic. 12 But when the city believed Philip as he preached the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13 Even Simon himself believed, and after being baptized he too continued with Philip. And he saw the signs and the great miracles being performed, and he was amazed.

     14 When the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John. 15 So they came down and they prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit(/Presence of God), 16 for he had not yet fallen upon any of them, for they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 So they laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. 18 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered money, 19 saying, “Give me this power! So anyone on whom I also lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.” 20 But Peter said to him, “Your silver will ruin and cause you loss, because you thought you could buy the gift of God! 21 You’ve neither partnership or lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God. 22 Repent of this wickedness and pray earnestly to the Lord that this intention of your heart may be forgiven you. 23 For I see that you’re in a ruinous bitterness, and in the captivity of an unjust way.” 24 And Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord! That nothing you have said may come upon me.”

08-26 - 1John 5 6-13 Luke 9 28-36

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

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. 1John 5:6-13

6 - This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. Not by water (of natural birth) only but by water and blood. And the Spirit is who testifies, because the Spirit {of God} is Truth. 7 For three bear witness, 8 the Spirit(/Presence of God) {evidenced by dark moon and earthquake} and the water and the blood. {Birth and death? The water and blood that came from his side when on the cross? Moses “struck the rock and fresh/living water flowed from it”.}

     And the three agree. 9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater! {Father God showed John something about the water and blood concerning God’s testimony that our enduring Life/immortality is in Jesus.}

     And - this - is the testimony of God concerning his Son - 10 that whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony/witness within them. And whoever does not believe God, has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony of God concerning his Son.

     11 And this is the testimony, that God gave us life, enduring life - and this life - is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life. Whoever does not have the Son of God does not have the {enduring} life. {Until they do “have the Son”.} 13 So I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have the enduring life.

     {And this is moRe freedom/liberty, not less. The lower, self first, highly limited nature is crucified with Christ. So instead of losing our life, we gain it. “What does he ask of thee 0h man, but to love kindness and mercy, and to walk humbly with the LORD thy God?” Micah 6:8}

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 9:28-36

28 - Now about eight days later, after saying these things, he took with him Peter, John and James and went up the mountain to pray. 29 And as he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes were radiantly white. 30 And then, two men appeared talking with him, Moses and Elijah. 31 And were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. {They came from a different dimension called the future? Or they were resurrected and vivified before everyone else? Hebrews 11:40.} 32 Now Peter, John and James were very sleepy, when they saw his glory and the two men with him, 33 and as the men were about to go away, Peter said to Jesus, “Master! It’s good we are here! Let us make three tents (tabernacles) one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah!” Not really knowing what he was saying. 34 And as he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.  {The better cloud! The better info.} 35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One, listen to and hear him.” 36 And after the voice had spoken, they saw then only Jesus. And they told no one in those days what they had seen.

     {“After 8 days.. glory..”}

08-25 - 1John 5 1-5 Mark 9 2-13

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

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. 1John 5:1-5

1 - Everyone believing Jesus is the Christ, has been “born of God”. And everyone loving God, loves those born of him as well! 2 And we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his instructions. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commands (instructions). And his commands aren’t difficult. 4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And the victory that overcomes the world, is our faith.

     5 Who is it who overcomes “the world” but the one who believes Jesus is the Son of God!

            🌙 P.M. MARK 9:2-13

2 Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and they went up a high mountain. Soon he was transfigured before them, 3 his clothes were radiant and intensely white, like no one on earth could ever bleach them. 4 And there appeared Elijah and Moses talking with him. {From another dimension called the future?}

     5 And Peter said, “Rabbi, it’s good we’re here! We’ll make three tents, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah!” 6 For he didn’t know what to say, for they were overcome and didn’t know what to think. {And it was currenyly Tabernacles?}

     7 Then a cloud overshadowed them, and they heard a voice come out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Hear all he says.” 8 And then, all returned to normal, and they saw no one but Jesus. (“The” kingdom.) 9 And as they were coming back down the mountain, he charged them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept the matter to their selves, but they wondered what he meant by rising from the dead.

     11 Rather than ask about that, they asked him, “Why do the scribes say Elijah must come first?” 12 And he answered, “Elijah does come first to restore all. And how is it written of the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13 And I tell you, Elijah has come, and they did to him as they pleased, as it’s written of him.”

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

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. 1John 4:19-21

19 - And now we love.. Because he first loved us! 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and despises their brother or sister, they’re lying! [Pseústēs - from pseúdomai.] For whoever doesn’t love their brother or sister who they see, cannot love God who they don’t see. {We especially don’t ‘see’ him if we despise rather than love?} 21 And this is the commandment (“instructions”) we have from him - whoever loves God must also love their fellow (person). {The literal - “the one loving God, loves also the brother/sister of them - greek “same womb” of them]. {Aka Eve!}

            🌙 P.M. MARK 8:34-9:1

34 - Jesus called to him the crowd of people, to come and listen, and he told them, “If anyone will follow me, let them deny their self. Take up their cross. And follow after me. 35 For whoever will save their life will ruin it, but whoever lets loose of their life for my sake and the gospel's sake, will save it.

     36 For what does it profit a person to gain the whole world and forfeit their soul?” [Psyxḗ - from psyxō - to breathe, blow, which is the root of the English words psyche and psychology – soul/psyche, a person's distinct identity, unique personhood and individual personality.] {God is Life.. he breathed into Adam and he “became a living soul.”}

     37 “For what can a person give in return for their soul/being? 38 And whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this unfaithful and wrong thinking generation, then also will the Son of man be ashamed of them when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” {‘Forever’ is an assumption. Aion, root of eon, has been changed to forever, along with its adjective aionion (eonian).}

     9:1 - “Truly, I tell you, there are some standing here who won’t taste death until having seen the kingdom of God come with power” (and flourish into a world force?). [Dýnamis - from dýnamai, energy, ability, force.] {Began at Pentecost? And not God’s Kingdom fully come. “The lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow” Isaiah 11:7.}
