    Matthew 25:24-33


    24 (Parable continued.) โ€œThen the servant with the one talent (or bag of silver) came and said, โ€˜Master, I knew you were a harsh man, harvesting crops you didnโ€™t plant and gathering crops you didnโ€™t cultivate. 25 I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth. Look, here is your money back.โ€™โ€ (Not a good way to do business.) 26 โ€œBut the master replied, โ€˜You wicked, lazy servant, if you knew I harvested crops I didnโ€™t plant and gathered crops I didnโ€™t cultivate, 27 you ought to have at least invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent away from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.โ€™ 29 To those who use well what they are given (their talents, abilities, resources) even more will be given. And they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be lost. 30 And the not useful worker, put away to outer (outside of the light) darkness [skรณtos - darkness, obscurity, the principle of missing the mark with its results]. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.โ€ (Frustration. Which if occurring after death and resurrection, as in the PARABLE of the rich man and Lazarus, it portrays initial conditions upon that โ€œlast great dayโ€ for Jesus โ€œwill DRAW aLLโ€ Jn.12:32.)

     31 "When however the Son of Man comes as King and all the angels with him, he will sit in his royal seat [authority] 32 and the nations will be gathered before him. (Iโ€™m very convinced this is Rev.16:13-16, Mt.13:30.) He will separate the people as a shepherd separates sheep from goats. 33 And He will put the sheep on the right (hand) of him, and the goats on the left.

     Note: This has nothing to do with โ€˜foreverโ€™. We are blinded to prophecy by believing the old myths of afterlife immortality and punishment or reward that lasts forever. Thereโ€™s a belief in me, that grows stronger and stronger, because of my studies..

     All unbelievers are (as we know) resurrected โ€œout of their gravesโ€ some time โ€œaFter THE millennium/thousand yearsโ€. Believers having been resurrected in whatโ€™s called the โ€œfirst resurrectionโ€ at the doorway/threshold of โ€œtheโ€ millennium, when the millennium begins. The second resurrection occurs sometime โ€œafter the thousand yearsโ€. I say sometime after, because the adversary is -  โ€œlet out of his abyss after the thousand years, and he goes out to deceive and gather the nations from the four corners of Earth.. In number they are like the sand on the seashoreโ€ - logically, they are descendants of the natural survivors of the apocalypse - โ€œAnd they march across the broad expanse of the earth and surround the camp of God's people and the city God loves. But fire comes down from heaven and devours them.โ€ โ€” Second mention of a lake of fire. It stands to reason, that the second resurrection occurs only after all that.

     Then what? I believe Jesus will do all the things he did when he was here the first time. BUT, to see it we have to be rid of the gossamer webs of the ancient scare myths๐ŸŒ™๐ŸŒšput forth by terrible king and priest collusion. And forget modern myths also.. That rveryone, including the despotic and predatory, will simply โ€˜wake up in a blessed perfect state, fully reconciled to Godโ€™. (WheRe is the Logic?!)

     Jude vs.7 says โ€œTHE example of AIONION hellfire is what occurred to Gomorrah and citiesโ€ which were perched upon the pit of self annihilation, its tentacles as always, spreading outward..

     Hello?  THE - example - of AIONION, translated as โ€˜eternalโ€™ - hellfire is what occurred to Gomorrah and cities. (Ancient lake of fire? Long before man, too, is able to split Godโ€™s building block, the atom. Mt.13:30)


1Tim.4:10 โ€œGod is savior of all..โ€

        Paulโ€™s Letter to Titus

           ~ Titus 2:9-15 ~

9 Bond (debt paying) servants (today employees) should in all good faith submit to their masters/misters. (Today employers, slavery of those conquered in war, was an institution of man since ancient times, but by the time of Jesus, in Israel, the so called โ€˜slaveryโ€™ was a borrowing and paying back system.) 9 They should try to be good workers and not argumentive. 10 Nor stealing but trustworthy and dependable. In this way, they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive in every way. 11 For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people. [Interlinear word for word - โ€œHas appeared the grace of the God salvation/safety all anthropos.โ€] 12 He has taught us to give up our wicked ways and our worldly desires and to live decent and honest lives in this world. 13 We are filled with hope [elpis - expectation] as we wait for the appearing of the glory of the great God, and of the savior of us, Jesus the Messiah. 14 Who gave himself for us to deliver us from all lawlessness and to purify to himself a people his own, enthusiastic for good works. 15 Teach these things, as you use your full authority to encourage and correct. Donโ€™t let anyone disregard what you say. (Titus was a young person.)
