 🕊️ Today’s GospeL Verses ~ Mark 13:14-18

[Jesus continues.] 14 - “And when you see the abomination, the desolation standing where (it) ought not, let the reader understand, then let the/those in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down nor enter their house to take anything, 16 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take their cloak. 17 And alas for women who are with child (pregnant) and for those nursing infants in those days! 18 Pray it not happen in winter.”

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                ~ 1 Corinthians 2:1-6 ~

1 - And I, when I (Paul) was with you, I didn’t tell the message of God with excellence of speech and lofty wisdom. 2 No, I knew nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in humility, respect, and even in weakness. 4 My words and my message were not in skillful [peithos - persuasive, enticing, skilful] words of wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit(/Presence of God) and of his power, 5 so your faith might not rest upon the ‘wisdom’ of man, but upon the power of God.

     6 Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom. But it’s not wisdom of this world, nor of the leaders of this age and times, which is all passing away. (Truth is and does not change like the world which is in a progressing state of passing away. Life as we presently know it is dust to dust.. It is all disintegrating, the process of entropy. And it’s the spiritual process as well. Collective and individual. Self interest goes on the back burner. Paradoxically, we’re not in our best blueprint, but God has it, for he is faithful. Be a “whole burnt sacrifice”. Because it is this life that is the crucible. And “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10. But it’s an imperative message, truth. It is no light matter. It iS a complete matter of Life, or not life. So why entropy? Because God is Life, and he “is perfect”. Therefor the “wages/result of hamartia - missing the mark, is” the opposite of Life. The prize is enduring life. (And our best blueprint.) The way there is narrow. But when we are there - which requires Perfection - the way is way wide.

     Where does the door of the ten bridesmaids parable really go? Mt.25:1-13

Rev.7:9,4; Ro.11:12; 1Cor.15:51; Mt.13:30 is Rev.16:13-16. Rev.20 is like describing the crests of waves and not much in between.) [And there are words that were changed through translation.]
