           Mark 9:1-13

1 - And Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.” 2 Six days later he took Peter, James, and John with him and went up on a high mountain, where they could be alone. There, Jesus’ appearance was transformed before them. 3 and his clothes became dazzling white, far whiter than any earthly launderer could ever make them. 4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses (from another dimension called the future?) and they were talking with Jesus. 5 Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters (for Tabernacles)—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 6 For he didn’t know what to say, for they were afraid. 7 Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son. Listen to him.” 8 Suddenly, as they looked around, they saw no one with them but Jesus only (the kingdom!) 9 As Jesus and his disciples were coming down the mountain, he told them not to say a word about what they had seen, until the Son of Man had been raised from death. 10 So they kept it to themselves, but they often asked each other what this rising from the dead might mean. (Like today..? Wondering if something is merely metaphor? And heaven forbid literal? ..Those terrible literalists, lol.) 11 Then they asked him, “Why do the scribes say Elijah must return before Messiah comes?” 12 Jesus answered: Elijah certainly will come to get everything ready. But don't the Scriptures also say that the Son of Man must suffer terribly and be rejected? 13 I can assure you that Elijah has already come. And people treated him just as they wanted to, as the Scriptures say they would. (The baptist of course, and spirit of Elijah - “Make ready!! The way of the LORD!”)

From New Testament Letters

          (In Order Written)

           ~ 1 John 5:1-5 ~

1 - Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, also. 2 If we love and obey God, we know we will love his children. [Mk.12:30,31 - “Love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. And love others as much as you love yourself..”] (If we genuinely love GOD, who “is love” we will love our fellow person.) 3 In fact, this is love for God, to keep his commands [entolḗ - from en - in, which intensifies télos - reach the end, consummation – properly, "in the end" focusing on the end-result (objective) from entellomai - an authoritative prescription, instructions]. (Prescription for the virulent disease of imperfection/straying from God who is Life and “is perfect” Mt.5:48.) And his commands are not burdensome. 4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And our faith is what gives us this victory. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? The one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
