GospeL Verses ~ Luke 2:21-38
21 - And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised (after eight millennium mankind will be fully circumcised of heart) he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived. 22 And when the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 - as it’s written in the Law of the Lord, “Every male who first opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord” - 24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the Law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.” 25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and he was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Messiah. 27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law, 28 he took him into his arms and praised God and said, 29 “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word 30 for my eyes have seen your salvation 31 that you have prepared in sight of all people, 32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles/nations, and glory for your people Israel.” 33 And his father and mother marveled at what was said. 34 And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against/contradicted. 35 And a sword will pierce through your own soul also, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” 36 And there was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years, 37 and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. 38 And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ 2 Corinthians 5:1-9
1 - We know that if the tent we have now is destroyed, we have an enduring heavenly one, not built by hands but from [ek - out from] God, enduring [aionion]. 2 For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed in the heavenly, 3 that we not be poorly clad. 4 For while in this tent, we groan, being burdened - not that we would be unclothed - but that we would be more clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5 The one who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. 6 Therefor we are always of good courage. We know that while we are in this body we are (somewhat) away from the Lord, 7 and we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 Yes, we are of good courage, for we wouldn’t mind be away from this body and closer with the Lord. 9 Whichever state we are, our ambition is to be well pleasing to Him.
