 • Colossians 2:1-7 John 7:25-36

            ☀️ Colossians 2:1-7

1 - For I (Paul) want you to know how great a struggle I have for you! Also for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face. 2 That they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so they may have the full riches of full understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God - which is Christ - 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 I say this that no one may delude and mislead you with convincing sounding arguments. 5 I’m not there with you, but I’m with you in spirit, and I’m rejoicing to know of your stability in Christ. That you’re following his good way, and your faith in him is genuine.

     6 For as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, let your walk remain in him! 7 Rooted and built up in him. Established in the faith as you learned! And overflowing in thankfulness!

            🌙 John 7:25-36

(It was the week of Tabernacles) 25 and some of the people of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this the one they (the leaders of the nation) seek to kill? 26 And here he is (in the temple) speaking openly. And they’re saying nothing to him! Can it be the authorities really know this is the Christ?”

     27 Others said, “But we know where he comes from, and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from.”

     28 So Jesus said, as he was teaching in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I come from. But I haven’t come of my own will. He who sent me is true, and you don’t know him. 29 I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.”

     30 So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because the hour hadn’t yet come. 31 Many did believe in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?!” {And, surprise! What about when he has a long second advent?}

     32 The leaders, the chief priests and Pharisees, knew what the people were saying, so they sent officers to arrest him.

     33 Jesus said, “I’ll be with you a little longer, and then I’m going to he who sent me. 34 You’ll seek me but you won’t find me. Where I’m going you can’t come.”

     35 The people said to one another, “Where’s he going that we won’t find him? Is he planning to go to the kinsmen among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What does he mean by saying, ‘You’ll seek me and you won’t find me,’ and, ‘Where I am you can’t go’?”

ACTS 18 17-28

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

     Book of the Acts of the First Believers

17 - And after that the mob seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But proconsul Gallio paid no attention to any of it.

     18 Paul stayed a while longer in Corinth [a year and a half all together] and then he took leave of the brothers and sisters and set sail for Syria. Priscilla and Aquila went with him. At Cenchreae he cut his hair, as part of a vow. 19 And they arrived at Ephesus, whereupon he went to the synagogue and reasoned with the Hebrews (Jews). 20 They asked him to stay longer, 21 but he said, “I’ll be back, if God wills,” and he set sail from Ephesus.

     22 When he landed at Caesarea, he went up (to Jerusalem) and greeted the church, and then he went down to Antioch. 23 After spending some time there, he departed and went from place to place through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

     24 Meanwhile a Hebrew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent speaker, competent in the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately [akribós - with exact precision] the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only about the baptism of John.

     26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God even more fully. {Explaining the blessing of the Holy Spirit, the Presence of God the Father with us.} 27 And when he wished to cross to Achaia (of Greece) the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to make him welcome. When he arrived in Corinth, he was a great help to those who through grace believed, 28 for he persuasively refuted the non believing in the synagogue, showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ [Christos - anointed one, Messiah].

            ☀️ Colossians 1:21-29

21 - And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing bad and malicious [ponéros - evil, wicked, bad, malicious] things, 22 he has now reconciled! By his suffering and death, in order to present you holy and blameless, and above reproach, before God. 23 If, indeed, you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not moving away from the hope [elpis - expectation, trust] of the gospel, which you heard, and is proclaimed in all of creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a servant.

     24 Now I (Paul) rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my mortality. I am full to the brim and overflowing in the afflictions of Christ. Afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, 25 of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me (especially) for you gentiles (non Hebrews) in order to make the word of God fully known. {God called and created a new nation in order to separate himself, in understanding, from “the gods” of the nations which were many, and carnal instead of holy and “perfect”.}

     26 And now the mystery hidden for ages and generations is now revealed! 27 To those God chose {by a lucky shake of the heavenly dice? what role we play} to make known how great among the nations is the riches of the glory of this mystery! Which mystery, is  - Christ in you! Which is the hope/expectation of glory.

     28 It’s him we proclaim, encouraging, instructing and steering everyone with all wisdom. This is so we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil, struggling with all his energy which he powerfully works within me.

            🌙 John 7:10-24

10 - After his (natural) brothers had gone up to the feast, then Jesus went up also, but quietly, and not openly. 11 The people were looking for him, and saying, “Where is he?” 12 And there was much undercurrent of talking about him among the people. While some said, “He’s a good man,” others said, “No, he’s leading the people astray.” 13 Yet for fear of the leaders no one spoke openly. {Social intimidation.}

     14 It wasn’t until the middle of the feast (middle of Tabernacle’s week) that Jesus went up to the temple and began to teach. 15 The people marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?” 16 So Jesus said, “My teaching is not from me, but is the teaching of the one who sent me. 17 Anyone who wants to do God's will, will know if the teaching is from God, or whether what I speak is from myself. 18 The one who speaks from their self seeks their own glory. But the one who seeks the glory of he who sent him is genuine, and in him there is no falsehood.

     19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. For why do you seek to kill me?” 20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who’s seeking to kill you?”

     21 Jesus answered, “I did one work, and you all marvel at it. 22 Moses gave you circumcision, not that it was from Moses, but from the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's body well? 24 Don’t judge by the superficial, and appearance, but judge with {deeper} right judgment.” {Think about it! ..Think about everything. With logic, root word logos.}

 • Colossians 1:16-20  John 7:2-9

            ☀️ Colossians 1:16-20

(15 - He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.) 16 - For in him all in heaven and upon earth were created. The visible and the invisible, seats and dominions [arché - beginnings, origins, principalities] and jurisdictions [exousia - powers, rights, jurisdictions]. All were created through him and for him. {Powers and principalities, boundaries.. all originally perfect and pristine, but not (yet) ‘programmed’, so to speak.. school of hard knocks is doing the job.}

     17 And he is before all, and in him all are held together. 18 He is the head of the body, the church (body of believers). And he is the beginning, and the firstborn from the dead, so that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him - all the fullness of God - was pleased to dwell, 20 and, through him “to reconcile to himself, the all, having made peace by the blood of the cross of him, whether the upon earth or the in the heavens”. [Verse 20 is a more or less word for word translation, according to language tools we now have at our fingertips.]

            🌙 John 7:2-9

2 - The annual Feast of Booths/Tents/Tabernacles was at hand {Rev.21:5, Lev.23:34-36}. 3 Jesus’ (natural) brothers (Mt.13:55) said to him, “Why don’t you go to Judea, so your disciples (from all over, gathered annually for the feast) may see the works you’re doing. 4 For if you want to be known, don’t do these things secretly, but openly, then you’ll show yourself to the world.” 5 For even his brothers didn’t really believe in him. {But both James and Jude have a letter in the New Testament. And James became one of the leaders of the Jerusalem believers.}

     6 But Jesus said, “My time hasn’t yet come, but your time is always here. 7 The world doesn’t hate you. It hates me because I testify of it, that its works are evil [ponéros - wicked, bad, malicious]. 8 You go to the feast. I’m not going, for my time has not yet fully come.” 9 After saying this, he remained in Galilee.

     {He was not yet going to - this - Tabernacles? For the time was not completed. It was not - his - Tabernacles, the compleTe fulfillment (Eph.1:10) was not yet. “Tabernacles” being the Fulfillment - Rev.21:5 - the ancient (Lev.23) Holy Days, Spring and Fall, being an outline of his first brief advent (Spring), and then his longer, stretched out, second advent (Fall holy days of Lev.23 as an outline), which concludes at/with the “last great ‘day’” an “8th ‘day’” when all imperfections of self as first and foremost will be fuLLy removed from humanity. Humanity’s circumcision of the heart completed upon the “8th day”.}

 • Colossians 1:9-15  Matthew 20:1-16

            ☀️ Colossians 1:9-15

9 - And so, from the first day we heard, we’ve not stopped praying for you! Asking that you be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10 And to walk worthily in the Lord, fully pleasing to him, and fruitful in every good work, while {forever} increasing in the knowledge of God. 11 And strengthened with all his glorious might and power, for endurance and patience, with joy. {During this unavoidable contrast gotten over with first, a ‘quick’ one&done for all.}

     12 Giving thanks to the Father, the one having qualified you [hikanoó - made you sufficient, qualified, enabled you] to share in the light and radiant inheritance of the saints [hagios - holy, sacred, set apart] {but “not yet perfected” Heb.11:40}. 13 For he has delivered us from the domain of darkness! He has transplanted us into the kingdom of his beloved Son. 

     14 It is in the Son [Jesus] that we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins [hamartia - missing the mark]. 15 He is the firstborn of all creation, and the image [eikón - image, likeness, representation, replication] of the invisible God. Amen.

     [“Eikṓn assumes a prototype, of which it not merely resembles, but from which it is drawn (R. Trench) (eikṓn) then is more than a ‘shadow’ rather it’s a replication (F. F. Bruce)” - from biblehub dot com, interlinear link to the original word.] {The only straight out from God one. Father and Son are so close that both administer God’s Spirit/Presence, the same as will saturate and “seal” all creation and humanity, Rev.21:3,5, Eph.1:10, 1Cor.15:22,28.}

            🌙 Matthew 20:1-16

1 - “For the kingdom of heaven” Jesus said, “is like a master of a house going out early in the morning to hire laborers to work in his vineyard. 2 And after agreeing with the workers for a denarius a day, he sends them out into the field.

     3 Then later, around the third hour he sees others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 so he tells them, ‘Go and work in the vineyard too, and I’ll pay you what’s fair.’ 5 So they go.

     And then again later, at about the sixth hour, and also the ninth hour, he does the same. 6 And even at the eleventh hour he goes out and finds others standing idle. And says to them, ‘Why are you standing here idle all day?’ 7 And they answer, ‘Because no one has hired us!’ So he tells them, as well, to go and work in the vineyard.

     8 And when evening comes, the owner of the vineyard says to the foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.’ 9 And when those hired at about the eleventh hour come, each of them receive a denarius. 10 Now when those who were hired first come, they think they will receive more. But each of them receive a denarius as well. 11 And on receiving it they grumble at the master of the house, 12 and they say, ‘These last worked only one hour! And you’ve  paid them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day, and the scorching heat!’

     13 But he will answer them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take now what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last one as I’ve given to you. 15 Am I not allowed to do what I choose with my own money? Or do you despise my generosity?’ 16 So many who are last shall be first, and many who are first will be last.”

BOOK OF REVELATION

     9 - And the kings of earth, who were in bed with her and lived in luxury with her, will weep and mourn when they see the smoke of her burning. {$ity Babylon - who rode the beasts to all seven hills/continents.. Free enterprise highjacked. Rode (and traveled with) the beasts which will join but not really (Rev.13:1 w/ Dan.7:7,19, and Dan.2:36-45 shows us the metals are Rome and Greek, aka a western roots and foundation, many headed geopolitical beast/entity/institution. Within it, is ‘dove’ and vulture, Mt.24:28. The fallen as prey,  the west once called Christendom having fallen away into “lawlessness” and deterioration.}

     10 They will stand far off, watching from a distance in fear of her torment, and will say, “Alas! Alas! That great city {that ruled} that mighty city, Babylon! For in one hour your judgment has come.” 

     11 And the merchants of earth {also} will weep and mourn for her. For no one buys their cargoes anymore. 12 Products of gold and silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, silk and scarlet cloths, all fragrant woods, articles of ivory and fine wood, bronze, iron and marble. 13 And cinnamon, spice, incense, perfumes and ointments, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, slaves, and human souls [psuche - soul, life, self, inner being] {human beings}. 14 “And the ripe fruit of you and the delicacies for which you lusted/longed for have gone from you. All your sumptuous splendors are lost to you and will not be found in you again.”

     15 The merchants of these things, who grew wealthy from her (from the $ity, a modern day Baal?) will stand far off, in fear of her torment, loudly weeping and mourning, 16 “Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, and jewels, and with pearls! 17 For in a single hour all that wealth has been laid waste.”

     And all shipmasters and seafaring men/traders, sailors and all whose - trade is on the sea - stood far off, 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, “What city was like the great $ity?!” 19 And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out, “Alas, alas, for the great city - where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her costliness! For in one hour has she been laid waste.”

     20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment against her! {As you have done so shall it fall upon you.. reaping what you sow..}

     21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and will be found no more, 22 and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will no longer be heard in you, nor any craftsman of any craft will be found in you, nor sound of the mill, be heard in you. 23 The light of a lamp will not shine in you, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any more, for her merchants were the great ones of earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery [pharmakeia - sorcery, witchcraft, magic, enchantment, spells, deception, corruption, beguilement.. {power to influence}].

      24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of - all - who have been slain upon earth.” {Empire, personal or collective.}

1 - (From) Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

     2 To the saints (believers, Heb.11:40) and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you! And peace from God our Father!

     3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus, when we pray for you, 4 because we’ve heard of your faith in Him. And we’ve heard of the love you have for all the saints [hagios - sacred, set apart] 5 because of the hope [elpis - expectation] being laid up for you in heaven. Which you heard of before in the message of truth, the gospel, 6 which has come to you.

     And indeed in all the world the message is bearing fruit and increasing, as it also is doing among you in Colossae since the day you heard and understood it - understood the grace of God in truth, 7 just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved brother. He is a faithful servant and minister of Christ on your behalf, 8 and he has told us all about your love and affection in the Spirit.

            🌙 Matthew 19:13-30

13 - Parents and grandparents were bringing children to Jesus, that he might lay his hands on them and pray for them.

     The disciples were trying to send them away, 14 but Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, don’t stop them, for it’s to them that the kingdom of heaven belongs.” 15 And he laid his hands on each one of them before they continued on.

     16 Just then, a man came up, saying, “Good teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” {Be immortal, “put-on immortality”.}

     17 Jesus said, “Why do you call me good? There’s only one who’s good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” 18 “Which ones?” he asked. Jesus said, “Don’t murder, don’t commit adultery, don’t steal, don’t bear false witness, 19 honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.”

     20 The young man said, “All these I’ve kept from birth. What do I lack?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have, and give to the poor. Then you’ll have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.”

     22 But when he heard this, the young man went away sad, for he had great wealth. {After the crucifixion, was the new, a “new and living way”. The Old Testament way of sacrifices for sin [hamartia - missing the mark (the conscience KNOWS!)] was a shadow (small scope version) of the one sacrifice strong enough to appease eveRy conscience, ultimately, not magically. — From old way to “new” because change from within works - by believing (entering, following) the Good News we will “inherit” and “put on perfection” thus “immortality” - God is Life and “is perfect” so imperfect is entropy, a slow gehenna(burning up) “that doesn’t quit”. Life as we presently know it, is an unavoidable contrast running course. A ‘parable’ of the decomposing ‘apple’ and its worm “that doesn’t quit”. The decomposing. The dis-ease as part of the cure. And immunity, Total Herd Immunity. Jesus is Lord. And “will draw all” Jn.12:32.}

     23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I tell you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 I tell you, it’s easier for a camel [kamélos] to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

     25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly amazed, and said, “Who then can be saved?” {If it’s hard for them, the privileged!}

     26 Jesus told them, “With man himself, it’s impossible” {can’t be done, imperfect cannot make itself perfect} “but with God - nothing - is impossible.”

     27 Peter said, “We’ve left everything and have followed you. What reward or treasure shall we have?” 28 Jesus said, “Truly, I tell you, in the {time of the} regeneration [“palin(again)genesis” literal] when the Son of man sits on his throne [thronos - seat, throne] of glory, you will sit on twelve seats [thronos] judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands” {or lost friends, or even family} “for the sake of my name [onoma - name, authority, cause] will receive a hundredfold! And will inherit enduring [aionion - eonian, of the age] Life” {which is God Himself, His Spirit/Presence}. 30 “But many who are first will be last, and many who are last, will be first.”
