            ☀️ A.M. Galatians 2:1-5

1 - Then after fourteen years I (Paul) went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along. 2 I went up according to a revelation, and told them the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, but in private to the apostles {witnesses} lest somehow I might be running or had run in vain. [Gal.3:24 - “The law is our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith.”] {And by law no one is innocent. Only by faith, trusting.}

     3 But even Titus, who was with me, wasn’t compelled to be circumcised, though he was a Greek [thus never circumcised according to the law of Moses]. 4 For false brothers had secretly come in to spy out the freedom we have in Christ Jesus, so they might bring us into captivity - 5 but we didn’t yield nor submit to them, not for a moment! So the truth of the gospel [“the new and living way” Heb.10:20] might continue with you.

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 19:11-28

11 - As he was nearing Jerusalem, and while the crowd of people were listening, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because they thought the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.

     12 He told them “A nobleman went to a far country to receive for himself a kingdom. And then to return.

     13 Calling ten of his servants, he gave them each ten talents/coins, and said, ‘Use this in business until I return.’

     14 Meanwhile some of his future citizens hated him and sent a delegation saying, ‘We don’t want You to rule over us!’

     15 Now when he returned, having received the kingdom, he sent for those he had given the coins to, that he might know what profit they had gained with them, while he was away.

     16 The first came, saying, ‘Lord, your coin has made ten coins more.’ 17 And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you’ve been faithful in a little, you shall have reign [exousia - delegated empowerment operating in a designated jurisdiction] {serving called reigning?} over ten cities.’ {Logically, during the Lord’s long second advent}.

     18 And then the second worker came, saying, ‘Lord, your coin has made five coins.’ 19 And he said, ‘You will be over five cities.’

     20 Then another came, saying, ‘Lord, here is the talent you gave me. I kept it laid away in a cloth, 21 for I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man. You take up what you didn’t place, and reap what you didn’t sow.’

     22 And the businessman said to him, ‘I judge you by your own words! You bothersome [ponéros - toilsome, bad] worker! You knew I’m a harsh {harsh reality, school of hard knocks} man, taking up what I didn’t lay down and reaping what I didn’t sow! 23 Why then didn’t you put the talent to usury (use your talent) and at my coming, I would collect it with interest?’ 24 And he said to those who were nearby, ‘Take the talent from him, and give it to the one who has ten.’

     25 And they said, ‘But lord! He has ten already!’

     26 ‘I tell you, everyone who has, more will be given. {More spirit/life, more wisdom, love, talents, etc}. But from the one who hasn’t, even what they think they have will be taken away.

     27 But as for these enemies of mine, who say they don’t want me to reign over them, bring them here before me and slay them.’” {“THiS is the “beama/SEAT of judgment”/fiery judgment/cause and effect/culmination of history, and this contrast of imperfection/entropy. ALL fiery judgment(s) are earthly. Even the three mentions of lake of fire, are at huge, fiery events.

     Daniel 7:9 - “And the ancient of days took his SEAT” ..“All of life is a stage” - Shakespeare. Aka, Mt.13:30’s gathering of (still) tares - in context - is Rev.16:13-16, the gathering to Armageddon battle (Is.24:20/Rev.10:4) and the gathering of the wheat is Mt.25:1-13(10) - but where? does that door go? It’s THE door that shuts, to a specific time.}

     28 And when he had said these things, Jesus went on up to Jerusalem.

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

            ☀️ A.M. Galatians 1:20-24

20 - And what I (Paul) am writing to you (Galatian believers), is before God, I am not lying. 21 Next, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And I was still not known, in person, to the believers in Judea. 23 They were only hearing, “He who used to persecute us, is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy!” 24 And they praised and glorified God because of it!

            🌙 P.M. MARK 10:46-52

46 - (On their way to Jerusalem) they came to Jericho. And then as they were leaving, a great crowd was walking with them. And Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside.

     47 He heard the commotion, and when he learned it was Jesus of Nazareth going by, he began to cry out, “Jesus! Son of David! Have mercy on me!”

     48 Some in the crowd scolded him. “Be quiet!” they said. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David! Have mercy on me!”

     49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him over here.” And they called him, saying to him, “Take heart! Get up, he’s calling for you!” 50 And throwing off his cloak, Bartimaeus sprang up and went to Jesus.

     51 And Jesus said to him, “What is it you want me to do for you?” And he said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” 52 And Jesus said, “Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” And immediately his sight was restored and he could see. He then joined the crowd that was following Jesus.

REVELATION 7 1-17

Weekly Book of Revelation CU Studies Journal

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

{The seals were described (at the beginning of the vision) as their entire effects, first to very last.. Summary upon earth, the gospel came forth openly victorious over powers and principalities (healings, resurrection). The response was war, which fruits follow and war was given a great sword [megas - great, exceeding, large, mighty] sword/weapon.

     Because the revelation vision is told 3 times, 13:13, carried out by an office, was also the first seal 6 event which was as a mighty (megas) wind.}

     1 - After this I [John] saw four angels standing at the four corners [north, south, east, west] of the earth. And they were holding back the four winds. That they would not blow upon [epi] the earth, or sea, or against [epi] any tree.

     2 Then, I saw another angel coming up from the east. He had the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the earth and sea, 3 saying, “Don’t harm earth or sea or trees untiL we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads!” (Mind, thoughts, psyche, clarity.)

     4 And I heard the count and number of those to seal, 144,000 from every tribe of the sons of Israel, 5 - 8 — 12,000 from each tribe - of Judah, Reuben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin. [Mt.23:39, Ro.11:15!]

     9 After this, behold! I looked and I saw a great crowd. There were too many to count or number, made up of people from eveRy nation, and all tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb and they were clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. {First group mentioned is also part of second group mentioned? And the sealed are mentioned again during the fifth trumpet’s sounding.}

     10 And they cried out as one! In a loud voice, “Salvation/safety/well-being belongs to our God who sits on the throne! And to the Lamb!” 11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living beings and they fell before the throne and worshiped, 12 saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory! Wisdom, and thanksgiving! Honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen!”

     13 Then one of the elders said to me, “Who are these? Who have been clothed in white robes? And from where do they come?” 14 I said to him, “Sir, you know.”

     And he said, “These are those coming out of the tribulation the great and they washed the robes (of) them and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

     15 And because of this they are before the very throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple.” {“He has seated us in heavenly places” Eph.2:6.}

     “And - he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his Presence. 16 They shall henceforth not hunger nor thirst. Nor shall fall upon them the sun {the sun is a thermonuclear furnace} nor any burning-glow of heat [kauma]. 17 For the Lamb, in the midst of the throne, will shepherd them, and will lead them to living fountains [pégé - springs, fountains, wells] of water.

     And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

            ☀️ A.M. Galatians 1:13-19

13 - You’ve heard of my (Paul’s) former life, how I violently persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it! 14 How I was advancing in Judaism faster than many my age, as I was very zealous for the traditions of the fathers.

    15 But then, he who had set me apart before I was born, called me by his grace, 16 and was pleased to reveal [apokaluptó] and make known his Son to me, and {then} in me, so I might preach him among the nations.

     I didn’t right away consult with anyone. 17 I didn’t go to Jerusalem to confer with those who were apostles before me.

     Instead I went away into Arabia. {A desert and monastic, seeking, knocking, listening time?} And later, I returned to Damascus.

     {Damascus is where he was headed when the Lord stopped him and called him, then he went about proclaiming the message while he stayed with the Damascus believers. Until there was a threat on his life, and he went to Arabia.

     Acts, written by Luke who met Paul later, left out the time from Damascus to Arabia and back to Damascus, Acts 9:18-25.}

     18 Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas (Peter) and I remained with him for fifteen days. 19 But I didn’t see any of the other apostles, except James the Lord's brother. (The writer of the letter with his name.)

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 18:18-34

18 - A leader came along, who asked Jesus, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit enduring life?”

     19 Jesus answered, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. 20 You know the commandments, ‘don’t commit adultery, don’t murder, don’t steal, don’t bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”

     21 And the man said, “I’ve kept all these from my youth!” 22 After hearing this, Jesus said, “Yet you lack one thing. Sell all you have, and give it to the poor. You’ll have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.” 23 Then the man became sad, for he was very wealthy.

     24 Afterwards, Jesus said, “How difficult it is for those who have riches, to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

     26 Those who heard it, said, “Then who can be saved!?” 27 He said, “What is impossible to man, is possible with God.” [1Tim.4:10, Jn.12:32, 1Cor.15:22 {22-28 w/ Mt.13:33, key word 3!}

     28 Then Peter said, “We have left our homes to follow you.” 29 And Jesus said, “Truly, I tell you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers, sisters, parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 who will not receive many times more - in this time - and in the age to come, enduring life.”

     31 Then going on with the twelve, he told them, “We’re going up to Jerusalem, and everything that’s written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be done. 32 He will be delivered over to the nations, and be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon. 33 And after they flog him, they will kill him. And the third day he will rise.” 34 But they didn’t understand. It was hidden from them, they didn’t understand what he was saying.

10-01 - Gal 1 6-12 Luke 18 9-17

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

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

            ☀️ A.M. Galatians 1:6-12

6 - I (Paul) am very surprised that you are so quickly deserting the LORD who has called you into the grace of Christ. And you’re turning to a different gospel! 7 Not that there is one, but there are some who are troubling you and want to change the gospel/good news of Christ!

     8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel - different - to the one we preached to you, that one will be accursed. {Cause and effect? Nicknamed God’s wrath?}

     9 As we’ve said before, so now I say again! If anyone is preaching to you a gospel different and contrary to the one you received {different than the original, genuine, saving from entropy/death and its cause, message of God} they are accursed. {Under a negative effect.}

     10 Am I looking for the approval {or gospel} of man? Or do I look for the approval of God?

     Am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man/the world, I would not be a servant of Christ!

    11 For I would have you know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel preached by me is not a human gospel. 12 For I didn’t receive it from any person, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus, the Christ and Messiah. [Acts 9:3-6, Gal.1:15-2:10]

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 18:9-17

9 - Jesus told a parable to some who trusted in their own self worth, and righteousness, while they treated others with contempt.

     10 He said, “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. (Disliked because they collected taxes for Rome while they were under Roman occupation.) 11 The Pharisee, being aloof, and by himself, prayed ‘God, I thank you that I’m not like others. Who are extortioners, unjust, and adulterers. Or even like this tax collector! 12 I fast twice a week and I give tithes of all that I own and all I receive.’

     13 But the tax collector was standing far off, and he wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven! But beat his breast, saying, ‘God be merciful to me! A sinner!’

     14 I tell you, this one went down to his house justified. But not the other, for everyone who thinks of their self as exalted {better than} will be humbled. And the one who humbles their self will be exalted.”

      15 Many people were bringing their young children to him that he might bless them. And when the disciples saw it, they scolded them. 16 But Jesus called out, “Let the children come to me! Don’t stop them. For to such belongs the kingdom of God!

     17 Truly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive the kingdom of God like a little child, is not able to enter in.”
