         ☀️ A.M. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-14

1 - Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers and sisters, you have no need to have anything written to you. 2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the LORD will come like a thief in the night. {🤔Sneakily! No one knows when “but the Father”.} 3 While they are saying, “Peace [eiréné - peace, from a primary verb eiro - to join; properly, wholeness, i.e. when all essential parts are joined together] and security” [asphaleia - security, safety, exact truth, certainty] then suddenly comes upon them destruction, like labor pains come upon a woman with child, and they’ll not escape.

    4 But you are not in darkness, that the day should surprise you. 5 For you’re children of the day, and of light. We are not of the night, nor of the darkness.

     6 So then let us not be as though asleep, as others, but let us stay awake, and sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep during the night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the covering and protecting breastplate of faith and love. And for a helmet the hope [elpis - expectation!] of {full and complete} salvation. 9 For God has not destined us for wrath. {Dust to dust/imperfection-entropy/full gone and, or the fiery judgments/gehenna which are earthLy. There are three mentions of a lake of fire, all at huge fiery events, #1-armageddon, Mt.13:30/Is.24:20-Rev.10:4; #2-at the fiery final defeat of the adversary/accelerator/first gone rogue one&Co. Rev.20:7-10; and #3-at the fiery “palin/again-genesis”/regeneration/re-”genesis” of Rev.21:1-5, “behold! I make aLL new!”}.

     {Instead of destined for the role of wrath in this contrast and “all the world’s a stage” age..} We are destined to obtain salvation [sótéria - welfare, prosperity, deliverance, preservation, salvation, safety] {life!} through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 Who died for us so that we will live with him, whether we may wait and watch or sleep {in death awaiting}. 11 Therefore encourage one another! And build one another up.! Just as you’re doing.

     12 We ask you, brothers and sisters, to appreciate those who labor among you, teaching and counseling as leaders and examples in the Lord. {Discipling!} 13 And so esteem them very highly in love because of their work. And be at peace among yourselves. 14 And we urge you to admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak. And be patient with all.

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 14:7-14

7 - Jesus told a parable to those who were invited to the dinner (at a Pharisee’s house). When he noticed how many had chosen seats of honor he said, 8 “If you’re invited by someone to a wedding banquet, don’t go and sit in one of the seats of honor, 9 lest you be embarrassed if you’re asked to sit somewhere else.

     10 When you’re invited, sit in a lower, more humble seat. Then when the host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, come sit in this better seat.’ Then you’ll be honored in the presence of everyone sitting at table with you. 11 For everyone who exalts themself will be humbled, and they who humble themselves will be lifted up.”

     12 Then he said to the man who had invited him, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, don’t just invite your friends or your siblings and relatives and wealthy neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and so you are repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,14 and you’ll be blessed. Because they can’t repay you. And then you’ll be rewarded at the resurrection of the just.”

 Luke wrote “of the things fulfilled among us” paraphrased due to ©‘s [ ] ref  { } thots

     Book of the Acts of the First Believers

(Peter, of Israel, which was strictly separated from other nations, in order to birth the “savior of the world”, had been summoned by a Roman centurion, named Cornelius. Peter was now with him, along with the centurian’s family and friends whom Cornelius had gathered together.) 34 - Peter said, “Truly! I see that God shows no partiality and favorites! 35 But in every nation, anyone who reveres him, and does what is right, is acceptable to him.

     36 As for the word {message, way} that he sent to Israel, proclaiming good news of peace through Jesus Christ - he is Lord of all - 37 you yourselves know what happened throughout all of Judea!

     It began from Galilee after the baptism {at the Jordan River} that John proclaimed, 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit(/Presence of God) and with His Power, he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. 39 And we’re witnesses of all that he did, both in the countryside, and in Jerusalem.

     Then he was put to death by being hung on a tree. 40 But God raised him up on the third day. And he made him appear, 41 not to all the people, but to us who had been chosen by God to be witnesses. We ate and drank WITH him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he instructed us to proclaim [kērýssō - herald, proclaim] to the people, and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and of the dead.

     43 It was he, all the prophets spoke about, and bore witness of, that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins [hamartia - missing the mark] through his name.” {Declared innocent. God “is Perfect” and is Life, so only perfect endures.. And on the other hand, an Ant Farm is no paradise, nor is it perfection.}

     44 While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} fell upon all who were listening. 45 And the men from among the Hebrew believers who had come with Peter were amazed, that the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out upon Gentiles. 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God.

     Then Peter said, 47 “Can anyone disagree with baptizing these people now, in water? For they’ve received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” 48 And he instructed that they be baptized in the name of Jesus. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.

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

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ CU Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Thessalonians 4:9-18

9 - Now about brotherly love, you don’t need anyone to write to you, for you your own selves have been taught by God to genuinely love one another. 10 And that’s what you’re doing with all the brothers and sisters throughout Macedonia. And we urge you to love yet more and more.

     11 And also to live quietly, minding your own affairs, working with your own hands. As we taught before, 12 so you may walk properly in the world and not be dependent on anyone.

     13 And we don’t want you to be uninformed about those who are asleep [koimaó - to sleep, fall asleep, from keimai - to lie, be laid, be set, appointed] so you won’t grieve {hopelessly} as others do, who haven’t (yet) expectation. {Have not hope/expectation because they have not yet heard the “good news for all”. They have not yet been called to.}

     14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so will God bring [agó - lead, carry, guide, bring] with [sun - with, together with, in company with] Jesus, those who are asleep in him. [“..the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, and remain {are left?} will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.. and I (John) saw those who had been beheaded for their testimony of Jesus and for the word.. and had not worshipped or received the (beast’s) mark on their foreheads or hands. And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. ..This is the first resurrection” 1Thes.4:16,17; Rev.20:4-5. (Ro.11:15 - “if their (Israel’s) refusal is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance and compliance be but life from the dead?” Soon, 1st resurrection. (Rev.7:4, but don’t forget 9:1 and 4.)] {The mark, also character of the beast? Increasing dog eat dog society and human character emerging?]

     15 For we who are alive, who are left until his coming (Dan.12:12?) will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

    16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and the sound of the trumpet of God. The dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive until his coming. We shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet him! [The bridegroom at his coming. So where’s the bride? The bride is Jerusalem? Both the betrothed millennial Jerusalem and the bride “New Jerusalem”.] And so.. shall we always be with the Lord. {Where he goes, we go. Zech.14:4? - “On that day, his feet shall stand on Mt of Olives!” ..Isaiah 2:3 - “And, many people, from all nations, shall come, and say: ‘Come! Let us go up to the mountain of the LORD! To the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and we may walk in his paths.’ For out of Zion shall go forth the law” (summed up as “love God, and love your fellow person”) and - out of Jerusalem - shall go forth the word [logos - logic and reasoning] of the LORD.”}

     18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 13:31-14:6

31 - Right then some of the Pharisee party came up, and told Jesus, “You should leave here! Herod wants to kill you!” [Herod Antipas, son of Herod the Great who had the young boys of Bethlehem killed. Herod Antipas executed John the Baptist, though he didn’t want to but was tricked into it by his wife.]

     32 And Jesus said, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day {CE and post CE?} I finish” [teleioó - to complete, perfect, accomplish, bring to an end; from tel - {to the} end aim].

     33 “Nevertheless, I must go on my way today and tomorrow, and the day following, for it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.” [Herod was a hebrew by birth, but “hellenized” and politically motivated.]

     34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her!” {‘Micro’ version, partial scope. Macro, the nations, at history’s culmination.} “How often I would have gathered you to myself {to life, blessing, safety} as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings! But you would not! {Human condition w/o intervention.} 35 Now behold, your house is left desolate.” {God’s Spirit/Presence is a shield, if the shield wanes, logically, the great hatred of the adversary can find entrance.} “And I tell you, you won’t see me again (Jerusalem) until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD!’” [A key to prophecy.]

     14:1 - Later, on a Sabbath, he went to dine at the house of a leader of the Pharisees {more political than religious/devoted} and they were watching him closely. 2 There was a man there who had dropsy [hudrópikos - “edema, a disease produced by the accumulation of water in various parts of the body; very distressing, and commonly incurable; notice how Luke the (greek) doctor uses the name (hudrópikos) of the illness”].

     3 Jesus responded to the lawyers and Pharisees {who were testing him} saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath? ..Or not?” 4 But they didn’t answer. So he healed the man and sent him on his way.

     5 Then he said to them, “Which one of you, having a son, or even an ox, that falls into a pit on the Sabbath, won’t go and pull him out?” 6 And they couldn’t give him an answer.

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

1 - Finally, then, brethren/brothers and sisters, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that even as you received from us how you ought to walk in a way that is pleasing to God - just as you are doing! And that you {and we, all} do so more and more.

     2 For you know the instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 How this is the will of God, your sanctification [being progressively transformed by the Lord into His likeness and similarity of nature].

     That you abstain from sexual immorality, 4 that each of you know how to control their own body in holiness and honor, 5 not in the passion [pathos - immoderate and disorderly passion, suffering] of lust [epithumia - desire, longing for what’s forbidden] like Gentiles (the nations) who don’t know God. {And actually can’t be expected to please God / make him happy, without God’s Spirit/Presence/Power. Western Civilization wAs built largely upon biblical principles, but now has “fallen away” because of the “strong delusion” of “man(kind) being seated in the temple as God”/highest power. This by the worLd’s “false prophet” Same ‘one’ who enabled Rev.13:13, but which was carried out by an oFFice. ..I could add the next bead in the truth necklace.. these fingers do like to go on and on..}

     6 God’s morality insures no one transgresses and does wrong [pleonekteó - takes advantage of, overreaches, defrauds/seduces] in this manner, because the Lord is an avenger in all such matters, as we told you before and have solemnly warned. 7 For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness. 8 Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to us.

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 13:18-30

18 - Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what should I compare it?

     19 The kingdom is like a tiny mustard seed, which is planted in a garden. {Or a heart.} It grows and it becomes like a tree. So that even the birds of the air come, and to perch {and sing} in its branches.”

     20 Again Jesus said to the people, “To what should I compare the kingdom of God? 21 It’s like leaven which a woman works into THREE measures of meal/flour {three loaves} until aLL, is leavened.” {Hello! 1Cor.15:22-28 =‘s THREE loaves, three harvests, barley, wheat, grape - Rev.21:5 - “Behold! {Look!} I make all new!” The Greek word “pas” = all. “Things” was inserted at translation. As also elsewhere.}

     “The kingdom is like leaven which a woman works into THREE measures of meal until all is leavened.” (1Cor.15:22-28, compare the five “pas” in 27,28.. And originally, what does 27 repeat 3 times?)

     22 Jesus continued on his way to Jerusalem, teaching through towns and villages as he went. 23 And as he went along, someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few being saved?”

     And he answered, 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow door. {The narrow Way.} For many, I tell you, seek to enter, but they’re not able to. 25 And once the master of the house has shut the door, and you come along and stand outside and knock, saying, ‘Open to us,’ then he’ll answer you, ‘I don’t know where you come from.’ {I don’t know where you’re coming from? ..This is at his return. (Mt.25:1-13) The door that shuts, is the one to “the” millennium and long second advent (which consists of two millennium - Rev.20). The door is to serving called reigning, during it? Which is surely(?) a full scope version of his first so brief one? It’s noT - logically, nor biblically - a forever door, closed forever to Life!

    26 Then you’ll say, ‘But we ate and drank in your presence. You taught in our streets!’ 27 But he’ll say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all workers (and supporters?) of unrighteousness [adikia - injustice, unrighteousness {And Gal.5:20? carnality of division, rivalry}].’

     28 In that place (initiaLLy, away from him) {during GWT judgment ‘day’/aionion kolasis} you will see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves cast outside. {To the - inneR - outside of the Light darkness.} There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 29 But others will come from east, west, north and south. And they will recline at table in the kingdom of God. 30 But, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”

New info! I’ve thought a lot about Mt.13:33, key word 3! Matthew’s version of the “Three measures of meal” parable - “God’s kingdom is like leaven worked into 3 measures of meal / three loaves, until, aLL is leavened” - as with the harvest list of 1Cor.15:22-28’s THREE harvests!

      1-“Jesus the Firstfruit” 2-“the wheat at his coming” aNd 3-then comes the ‘end’ (greek word “tel” the “end-aim”) when “all has been subdued under the Son” (actually when all - “pas” - hAve been subdued under him) and death, the last enmity has also been “annulled” - which of course, is also Rev.21:1-5 at the (fiery) ReGenesis, when God says “Behold! I make all (pas) new!”

     The new (to me) info is in Gen.18:1-8, the three visitors to Abraham and Sarah, one of them was the Lord (Son of God). Sarah bakes three loaves for a meal for them. For the Lord..

     THE offering to God.. three loaves, three harvests.. all humanity sealed.

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Thessalonians 3:1-13

(Having been chased out of Thessalonica by city leaders, and now eager to hear how the Thessalonian believers are doing since then, Paul continues his letter..) 3:1 - When we (Paul, Silas, Timothy and others) could bear it no longer, we thought it good to wait at Athens, 2 while we sent Timothy, our brother and coworker in the gospel {news} of Christ as you know, so we could be sure you were established in your faith! 3 We wanted to be sure no one was discouraged by these troubles, so as to turn away. For you yourselves know that these things are bound to happen. 4 As we told you, when we were there, and then, as you know, it did happen.

     5 This is why, when I could wait no longer, I sent Timothy to you, to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor then would have been in vain. {How to STAY iN God through Jesus? Maybe we can start with the Revelation letters to the churches!?}

     6 But now that Timothy has come back and brought us the good news of your faith and love, and has reported that you always remember us kindly, and long to see us, even as we long to see you, 7 for this reason, brethren (brothers and sisters) in all our troubles, we’ve been very comforted!

     8 For we are blessed and happy, if you are standing fast in the Lord! 9 For what thanksgiving can we give to God, for all the joy we feel about you, before Him? 10 And as we pray most earnestly, night and day, that we may see you face to face, and encourage your faith {and understanding} by supplying anything additional you may be needing. {Discipling!}

    11 We pray our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, will direct our way back to you soon. 12 And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another, and for all. Even as we do for you. 13 So he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones. {Angels still faithful thus holy.} (Hebrews 11:40)

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 13:10-17

10 - It was a Sabbath and Jesus was speaking in one of the Hebrew/Jewish meeting places. 11 He saw a woman there with a disabling spirit. For eighteen years she had been bent over and unable to straighten herself upright. 12 And when Jesus saw her, he called to her, and he said, “Woman, you are freed from your disability.” 13 Then he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made well, and she glorified God. 14 But the leader/authority of the meeting place, became indignant because Jesus had healed her on the Sabbath.

     So the public servant said to the people, “There are six days in which work should be done. Come on those days and be healed, but not on the Sabbath!”

     15 But Jesus said to him, “You are hypocrites! Don’t all of you - on the Sabbath - untie his ox or donkey from the manger, and lead it to water? 16 And ought not this woman - a daughter of Abraham (your own national sister) whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, be loosed on the Sabbath?”

     17 As he said this, those who were against him were put to shame, while the people rejoiced at the glorious things that were being done by him. {Why does “the state” (the establishment of any certain time?) hate Jesus? …does it hate the people?}

(Read at your own risk! I got carried away, tried to squeeze in every prophecy key I might know, lol.)

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Thessalonians 2:14-20

14 - Brothers and sisters, you became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus, that are in Judea. [Churches - ekklēsía - from ek - out from and to, and kaléō - to call – properly, persons called - out from - the world - and - to God, the outcome being the mystical body of Christ {as confused as most/aLL? of it is} called ‘the church’/churches.]

     For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen, as they did, from their own 15 {too easily? incited by the leaders} who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out. Such displeased God. They oppose all mankind 16 by hindering us from speaking.

     A speaking to the nations that they might be saved (an answer to the IO ‘Israel only’ belief) so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath (consequence) is coming upon them at last! {And this slow fade/gehenna flares up into fiery consequences/smaller scope fulfillment. Full scope at the, done by man, apocalypse - different scopes being what’s called parallelism of prophecy.}

     17 But since we were torn away from you, brethren, for a short while, in person but not in heart, we wanted all the more, and tried eagerly, to see you face to face.

     18 We’ve wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan hindered us. 19 For what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting before our Lord Jesus at his coming! Is it not you? 20 For you {as believers trained and ready} are our glory and joy.

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 13:1-9

1 - There were some there who told Jesus about the Galileans whom Pilate had killed. [From biblehub dot com Benson Commentary - “followers of Judas Gaulonites, whose story Josephus has given us.. It appears he was the head of a sect who asserted God to be their only sovereign, and were so strongly against submission to the Roman power, that they refused to pay tribute to Caesar”.] {The “iron” of prophecy, Rome. But morphs/progresses into Rev.13:1-10’s many headed geopolitical beast (“with ten horns”) of the last hour, cross references with Daniel 7’s “fourth beast more terrible with” - “ten horns”. Dn.7’s beast has “iron teeth” (Roman columns?) and bronze (Greek, Dan.2:36-45) claws which tear up and scatter what the iRon doesn’t subdue. Aka, last hour huge beast will have Roman-Graeco roots, a western institution, think Roman senates, architecture, courts, etc. And Greek drama, philosophy, arts, etc. An institution within which ‘dove’ and vulture collude.. And steps in (after Rev7:1,3 is interrupted) the ‘little’ beast/horn of Rev.13:11-18, which came up amongst a cluster of others, and in its rising (after Rev.12:14) pulled up three other horns/major interests at that time (and place). The Rev. 13:13 event pinpointed an office, not (yet) an individual. It was the first seal 6 occurrence.. How can that be? Because the revelation vision is actually told three times. And chapter 12 is the middle version, with Mt.23:39 to go with vs.17, the last verse).

     Also, the seals (elements of the times, modern) are described at the beginning of the vision, as their full and entire effects, first to last. This veils what they are and veils much of the vision.. White horse and rider with a crown openly victorious over powers and principalities ride forth instituting a new age.. The response, seal 2, red fiery horse.. which is “given a long sword”.. which is seal 6. Rev.13:13, same first seal 6 event, was enabled by an of-the worLd “false prophet”. Hello? This, with 13:13 is so obvious as to be screaming. This is the ‘one’ who’s “strong delusion” of “seating man in the temple as god”/highest power has caused what was once called Christendom to “fall away”. This one has more modern “miracles to mislead” — (including that of Daniel 12:11-12? WiTh LK.19:41,44 aNd 1Cor.3:16 “set up” to run for 45 days(?) Last “ten days” (rev.2:10) escalating to most critical/dangerous. (Dan.12;11–2, a math riddle.)

     And seal 6 culminates in - Mt.13:30 (the wheat and tares) as Rev.16:14-15-16, simultaneous with Mt.25:1-13(10) —— Is.24:20/Rev.10:4.

     Then is the Lord’s long second advent. Rev.22 has narrative in it which is spoken outside of-the-vision, and portrays inneR, initiaL conditions of some during GWT judgment/discernment/closure ‘day’ like the parable of the rich man and Lazarus does - inner, initial conditions, of some.

     In Rev.21:5, the Greek word for “all” is translated “all things” - also in 1Cor.15:27,28 THREE times, but not another two when it just can’t work. So what is it verse 27 - as penned originally - repeats three times? Restoring the three “all things” back to the original “all” in verse 27. But not in verse 28, thought it’s the exact same word, “pas”.

     And a second outline within the first is Leviticus 23. Rev.20 is told like describing the crests of waves but not much of the in between the crests. I had another thought here but I think it got misfiled in this 70 year old brain.🙂 71 now.} 

     2 And Jesus said to them, “Do you think that these Galileans Pilate/Rome killed were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? 3 No, and I tell you, unless you repent, all will perish. {In this imperfection/entropy which “does noT quit”.}

     4 Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell upon them, do you think they were worse sinners than all others living in Jerusalem? 5 No. And I tell you, unless you repent, you will likewise perish.”

    6 And he told this parable, “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, but when he came seeking fruit on it, he found none. 7 So he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years now I’ve come looking for fruit on this fig tree! And THREE times now, I find it fruitless. {Mt.13:33, key word THREE, with 1Cor.15:22-28.) Cut it down! Why should it use up the ground?’ 8 But the vine tender said, ‘Sir, let it remain another year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize/feed it {📜🍞+🍷🕊️+logic}. 9 Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good. And if not, we can cut it down then.’” {And what sort of fire would it be thrown to? A bonfire (mt.13:30, rev.16:14-15-16) not an afterlife ‘hell’ (another strong delusion from the adversary/first gone rogue one, and accelerator) — God’s ‘wrath’ being cause and effect, consequences of which dust to dust is as well, Ps.90:3,5-7. Wrath - is the translation from orge - passion. Cause and effect? The disease as part of the cure, and immunity. Versus Ant Farm? Which would not be a paradise.}
