List of Some Translator Errors, due to partial disbelief? ~~ Not including God’s riddles/hiding things in plain sight. ~~ Changed “all” whenever possible, to “all things” Rev.21:5, Eph.1:10, Jn.13:3, 1Cor.15:27, five times! And so repeating what 5 times? ..And more. But not 2Tim.3:16 or 1Cor.15:28, for example. ~~ Often rendered not into never and aion/eon into forever. ~~ Translating hamartia - missing the mark, into “sin” (trespass) misses the mark a little. (God is Life, and “is perfect” Mt.5:48, a conundrum for imperfect/missing the mark. But no option to stray in Eden, and creation would have to be an ant farm.) ~~ Of course five separate words turned into ‘hell’, even pit when “dust of” is in the verse & Ps.30:9. The three mentions of lake of fire are at very large, fiery events. Not very understandable in 95 CE or thereabouts, Is.24:20, Rev.10:4 (Ps.91,46,23, Rev7:15-17)

1 - Let brotherly love abide. 2 Don’t be forgetful of hospitality, for by it some have entertained angels unaware. 3 Remember your brethren who are in prison, as though you are in prison with them! And also those who are mistreated, since you also are in this world. 4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed be undefiled, for the sexually immoral and adulterous God will judge. {All in their hearts! I.E. “the” most convincing, perhaps onLy convincing, Jn.12:32.} 5 Keep your life free from the love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” 6 so we with all confidence can say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear, what can mere man really do to me?” 7 Remember your elders in the faith, those who spoke to you the message [logos - word, speech, message, account, reason, doctrine, reasoning expressed in words] of God. Consider the fruit of their ways, and imitate their faith.

REVELATION 6 9-17

 BooK of Revelation

                a paraphrased study

9 - When he (the as though slain, lamb) opened the fifth seal upon the scroll (the vision) I saw under the altar souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and their testimony. 10 They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign LORD! Holy and true! How long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth?!” 11 They were each one given a white robe and told - to rest - a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers and sisters should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been. {Metaphor of a metaphor! Like the blood of Abel crying out to God. Fifth seal (element) is martyrdom, and it continues.}

     {I think it’s important to be able to see how the seals - described at the beginning of the vision - as a blend of their full and entire effects, first to very last, veils the entire vision.}

     12 When he broke open the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake! The sun became dark as sackcloth [sakkos - worn as a sign of grief]. The full moon became like blood {dark red?}. 13 All the stars of the heavens fell to earth, like, the fig tree throws out its winter fruit when shaken and - blown - by a strong wind. 14 The sky departed {rolled? “apochórizó”} like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was shaken. 15 Then the kings of earth, the great ones, the generals, the rich, the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, 16 calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us! And hide us from the face of he who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” {“..The ancient of days took his seat” Dan.7:9. “All the world’s a stage” - Shakespeare ..I think ‘wrath’ in large part, is code for cause and effect, Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4. Creation as Ant Farm versus Total ‘herd’ Immunity?}

When it’s sown in the earth, it’s the smallest of all the seeds. 32 Yet when it sprouts and grows, it becomes the tallest and biggest plant in the garden, so even the birds can come and make nests in its branches.” {Summary of the Outlines! ..In the scripture/written logos; the week plus one and within that outline, the Spring and Fall holy days - of Lev.23 - as 1st brief advent and 2nd long advent.}

     33 It was by many such parables that he taught the message to the people, as they were able to hear. 34 He didn’t speak to them without a parable, but privately, to his own disciples, he explained everything. {🤔 ..be a disciple?}

Jesus said to his disciples and followers, “Do you not understand this parable?” [Of the sower.] “How then will you understand any of the parables?

     14 The sower sows the message of God.” [Logos - reasoning expressed in words, (the) message]. 15 “And the seed along the path that gets eaten up by the birds, is about those who when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that’s sown. 16 And the seed sown on rocky ground, are those who  hear the word, receive it with joy, 17 but they lack root in their selves, and endure only for a while, and when persecution” (canceling, slandering, accusing etc, to worse) “or troubles and struggles arise because of the message, they fall away. 18 And the seed sown among thorns are those who hear the word, 19 but the cares of the world, the allure of the deceitfulness of riches, and desires for other things choke the message, and it proves to be unfruitful. 20 But the seed sown on good ground are the ones who hear the word and receive it and bear fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixtyfold or even a hundredfold.”

     21 And he said, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket? Under a bed? Or on a lampstand? 22 *Nothing* is hidden except to be made known. Nor is anything - secret, except to come to light. 23 Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear!”

15 - See to it that none fail to obtain the grace of God, so no sort of bitterness will spring up and cause trouble. For by it many can become corrupted. 16 No one should be sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal! 17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he couldn’t, for he found no chance to change the past, though he looked for it with tears. {“The” blessing had been given to another, couldn’t be now taken back.}

     18 But you (under the New Testament agreement/contract that is signed in blood - because it has to reach eveRy psyche) you have not come to a mountain that cannot be touched for it is burning with fiery flames, to darkness, gloom and stormy tempest, 19 with the sound of a trumpet and a voice and words that made the listeners beg that no further word be spoken to them. 20 For they couldn’t endure it, “If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.” {Thermonuclear type contagion?} 21 Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that even Moses said, “I am in terrible fear!” 22 But you - You have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and myriads of angels. 23 To the festal gathering and assembly/crowd of the firstborn being enrolled in heaven, and to God judge of all and all the  spirits of the righteous being perfected, 24 and to Jesus, mediator of the new covenant, and the sprinkled blood that speaks a better message than the blood of Abel. {Which cried out to God.. for response, as it should. Which is the first truth proving covenant, that brought us to court. But the cross pardons - paid in full. Yet we learn the crime was not acceptable, can never work. ..Paradise/perfection, and humanity, God’s family, is being built to endure. And imperfection is entropy, a living crucible.}

MARK 4 1-12

 🍃🕊️reading & study 🕊️🍃

     07/30 - GospeL Verses

1 - Jesus was teaching beside the sea and a very large crowd had gathered around him, so he got into a boat that was anchored there, and he sat while the crowd was there beside the sea. 2 And as usual he was teaching them using parables. 3 “Listen” he said, “a sower went out scattering seed. 4 And as he scattered, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate up the seeds. 5 Some other seed fell on rocky ground, where there wasn’t much soil, and it quickly sprang up. 6 But when the sun rose, it dried up and withered because it had no roots for moisture. 7 Still some other seed fell among thorns and thistles, which grew and choked them out, and so there was no grain. 8 But some other seed fell into good soil and it grew and produced grain, growing tall and increasing, and yielded thirtyfold, sixtyfold and even a hundredfold.” 9 And he said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear!” {Absorb.. take in the seed.. be good soil. ..Light, water, nurturance/fertilizer! Bread for the soul-Greek word psyche.}

     10 Later, when he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him the meaning of the parable. 11 And he said, “To you it’s been given to understand the mystery of the kingdom of God, but for others it’s all in parable, 12 so that (quote) ‘seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing, they may hear, but not understand, lest ever  [pote - from the base of pou and te - at what time, how long, when] they should turn and be forgiven.’” - [Turn - epistrephó - turn, return, from epi - on, upon, and strephó - to turn, to change; come to myself.] {Lest when..(?) Verse quoted is Isaiah 6:9 - and one of the cross references to it is -  “BRING OUT a people who have eyes but are blind, and who have ears but are deaf” Isaiah 43:8.

     So 1Tim.4:10, Jn.12:32, occur/continues During “the Last Great Day” Jn.12:37. An “8th ‘day’” millennium, otherwise when does all of Rev.20 occur? Note: Rev.22 has narrative in it that is spoken outside of the vision.. Shakespeare said “all of life is a stage” “..and the Ancient of Days took his seat..” Dan.7:9.

     Also later at GWT ‘day’ of Judgment/Discernment/Closure. Creation choices were Ant Farm or Total Herd Immunity? Iron RuLe - God iS life, and “is perfect” so imperfect is this entropy. A crucible and process that “doesn’t quit”. So the remedy was “built in from the foundation/beginning”.

     “BRING OUT a people who have eyes but are blind, and who have ears but are deaf” Isaiah 43:8. ..Then what? Remember, God “is Love” and surely he is 100% unfettered Genius. Or are we puny humans able to envision something greater and better than what he can do?}

THE BiG BaNG and Prophecy

     The very big bang was into the universe as is. Then it was set in motion.. A reflection of Life/Perfection, and a first pair, no option to stray would be an ant farm.. Thus this imperfection/entropy, which “doesn’t quit”! So “God is savior..” 1Tim.4:10.

     Outline of it: the week plus one.

Rev.20 is during the “8th ‘day’”.

Six ‘days’ of letting things run course.

     Original dna was not narrowed, so first sisters and brothers could wed. Imperfection is an abyss of potential. Pre-flood was hands off. Even cannibaalism was rampant? There is a rainbow in every drop of water, God’s promissory note.

     Empires of biblical prophecy - Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome -> to west and not west (“iron and clay”).

     After “Christ Crucified” was the fiery fall of 70 CE.. Phoenix (and white horse) to Europe (Rev.12, middle of three tellings of the revelation vision). And wars (red horse) on earth reflecting angel and demon warfare.. Rage of angels as inquisitions.. Then Magna Charter and phoenix given (long distance) wings (Rev.12:14) to escape, crawling out from under kings and empire - “the new world”. Liberty has wings and creativity, but also spirit enemies, and all things are infiltrated, even highjacked. All things change and grow. From enterprise to $ity Babylon sitting on seven hills/continents. Portrayed as an alluring woman, which rides the many headed geopolitical beast/entity/institution of today (Rev.13:1 w/ Dan.7:7,19 and see 2:36-45, the bronze and iron as foundations of it) “risen from the sea” of humanity in response to the pale horse riding.. but then expired after all. But then was rebuilt after Rev.13:13 - red horse still riding was given a long sword - which event pinpointed an office.

     The elements of the age (“seals”) being described at their beginning, as their full effects, first to very last, veils the revelation vision. A kind of swirl of all their effects.

     Like the blood of Abel called out from Earth to God, so with all..

     After 13:13 (first seal six event) all quiet, on the western front. Waiting for trumpets to sound (Rev.7:1,3;9,4; Mt.23:39). Liberty’s wings are being clipped, divide and conquer.. Coming - an interruption of all being quiet on the western front, 13:13 occurring again? But then shall be(?) again all quiet under Rev.13:1.. peace. But alas for only seven years and at about the middle, the Hebrew sacred place is taken away and removed. Then, count the days of Daniel, chapter 12, verses 11 and 12, wiTh Luke 19:41,44 and 1 Corinthians 3:16. What is the last 45 days? With an escalation? Rev.2:10.

     Meanwhile, and finally, the huge many headed beast rides the woman. The $ity. “Fallen! Fallen!” “She is fallen!” Rev.17:12,16.

     The grapes of wrath ..sour grapes will gather/be gathered to a bonfire when armies of the world surround the promised land (Rev.16:14-15-16 -> Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4) - But, verse 15 (of 16:14-15-16) being the door directly into Christ’s long second advent, full scope version of his first so brief one, but with helpers serving, called reigning (Mt.25:1-13(10). “Crowns of Life” not metal/empire..

     Then is the seventh ‘day’/millennium, a Sabbath rest from the red horse of enmity. And then is released at 8th day’s beginning.. it goes forth and gathers the descendants of mortal survivors of the apocalypse to again make war. (Survived the manmade apocalypse - we have his number! Made of carbon which has six each, of protons, neutrons and electrons - one race to ‘blame’ accuse/divide, the human race.) This time the fire comes directly from heaven.. And thus at the fiery final defeat of the adversary&co, is a second mention of a lake of fire - first was at Armageddon battle (Is.24:20/Rev.10:4).

     An outline within the “week plus one” outline, is the ancient Hebrew holy days, Spring and Fall (of Leviticus 23). They represent the 1st and 2nd advents of Jesus.

     First advent - Passover to Firstfruits then also Pentecost.

     Second advent - Trumpets (of Rev, and return at the 7th) then “10days”/1000yrs to ‘DAY’ OF ATONEMENT - DOA for the initially doa - the initiaL condition of some (few?) as the inner, outside of the Light darkness and gnashing of teeth as portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable, and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22. GWT Judgment ‘Day’ - judgments are in the heart. (Every drop of water has a rainbow in it. Jn.12:32)

     And so there is “5days”/500yrs to Tabernacles! The fiery (3rd mention of a lake of fire, elements melting - 2Pet.3:12,13 at the) “palin/again-genesis” - The “new heavens and new earth” of Revelation 21, one through 5, when God says “Behold! I make all (greek pas) new!”

     “The lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow” Is.11:7. And “HiS kingdom will never end” Luke 1:33.

      Ant Farm versus Total ‘Herd’ Immunity. God is Life, and “is Perfect” Mt.5:48, and is 100% unfettered Genius - Is.45:23, his “oath”. This unavoidable, all important contrast - an entropic crucible - is a ‘parable’ of the (imperfect, thus) decomposing ‘apple’ and its worm, the decomposing, which doesn’t quit, Mark 9:44. The gehenna that sparks into red horses riding.. Turns out big bang is a pun, and angels gone rogue, an accelerant. But every drop of water has its rainbow.

11 - At the time, correction seems painful and not at all pleasant, but later its training yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. 12 Therefore lift the drooping hands! Strengthen the weak knees! 13 And make straight paths for your feet! So that what is lame may not be put out of use but instead will be healed.

     14 Strive for peace with everyone, and strive for holiness [hagiasmós - noun derived from hágios - holy, sanctification - the process of advancing in holiness, being progressively transformed by the Lord into His likeness and similarity of nature] without which no one perceives the LORD.

20 - Then Jesus went home where they were staying, his disciples with him, but again a large crowd gathered, so many that they couldn’t even eat. 21 And when his family heard it, they set out to take hold of him and take him with them, for they said to each another, “He is beside himself!” (He’s lost it!)

     22 Meanwhile, the scribes who came down from Jerusalem had been saying, “He’s possessed by Beelzebul! It’s by the prince of demons that he casts out demons!”

     23 So he called them over and said to them, “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, won’t that kingdom fall? 25 And if a house is divided against itself, it cannot endure and remain intact. {Hello?} 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, well then his kingdom is coming to an end.” {As will occur at Armageddon battle?} 27 “No one can enter a strong man's house and carry away his goods, unless they first bind him. Then they can plunder his house. 28 Truly, I tell you, all sins are forgiven the sons and daughters of man [anthropoi] and whatever blasphemies (insults) they may utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit(/Presence) of God has not forgiveness to the age [aion] but is guilty of an aionios {particular to the age} sin”— 30 for they were claiming, “He has an unclean spirit.”

     31 And his mother and his brothers arrived, and were standing outside the crowd, and sent word for him. 32 So the ones sitting around him said, “Your mother and your brothers are outside, looking for you.” 33 And he answered, “Who is my mother and my brother?” 34 And looking about at those who sat around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 For whoever does the will of God, is my brother, my sister and my mother.” {He would (and does and will) gather all his chicks under his wing.}

3 - Consider Jesus who endured such hostility against himself! That you may not grow weary or fainthearted. 4 For in your struggle you have not had to suffer what others have. (And have not struggled so fierce we sweat blood like our Lord did in Gethsemane.) 5 And have you forgotten this, that speaks to you as to sons and daughters - “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the LORD, nor be weary when reproved by him. 6 For he disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every one whom he receives” (Proverbs 3:11-12).

    7 The endurance {crucible} is for discipline {and testing as testing metals to purify and strengthen}. God is treating us as sons and daughters. For what son or daughter is there whom a father does not correct? 8 If we are left without correction, in which all take part, then we are illegitimate children, and not sons and daughters! 9 Besides, have we not had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them? Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and receive Life? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed fitting to them, but he disciplines us for our benefit, that we may share his character and nature of holiness. {By being a temple for his Spirit/Presence. He is Life, Love, and “is perfect” Mt.5:48.}

9 - When his disciples asked him what the parable of the seeds meant, 10 Jesus said, “To you it’s been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God. But for others they’re in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’

     11 The seed is the word of God. 12 The seeds along the path are those who hear the message, but then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts so they may not believe and be saved. 13 And the seed on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But they have no root {depth} and believe for a while, but in a time of difficulty, they fall away. 14 And as for the seed (message) that fell among the thorns, are those who hear, but as they go on their way the message is choked by the cares, riches, and pleasures {distractions} of life. And the fruit {of the message} doesn’t mature. 15 As for the seed in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it steadfastly in an honest and genuine heart, and bear fruit with patience.

     16 No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jug or puts it under a bed. They put it on a table or stand, so that those who enter may see by its light. 17 For nothing is hidden that won’t be made known, nor is anything secret and a mystery, that will not be known and come to light. 18 Take care then, how it is you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given. And from the one who has not {doesn’t hear} even what they think they have, will be taken away.” {Note: there is no time word in this verse so why is there so much assuming of ‘for ever’..? Some verses with no time word, have been translated to include the word “forever”.}

1 - Therefore, having a cloud of witnesses encompassing us (“literally or figuratively” I think referring to GWT ‘day’ of judgment/review/discernment - since verse 11:40 says said ‘crowd’ “is not perfected - without us” referring to Jesus’ return and beginning of long second advent) let us therefor throw off everything that hinders, and the sin [hamartia - missing the mark] that so easily entangles. And let us run with patience and steadfastness, the race that is marked out for us, 2 keeping our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and then he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

1 - Jesus was traveling from town to town and village to village proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, including Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out. 3 Also there was Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household, Susanna, and many others, who helped to support them out of their own household.

     4 When a large crowd had gathered - for people were coming out to Jesus, from the towns and villages - he told them a parable - 5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was scattering the seed, some of it fell along the path where it was trampled on and the birds came and ate it up. 6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered away because they had no roots. 7 Other seed fell among thorn bushes and grew up among them and the plants were choked off. 8 But still other seed fell upon good soil, which came up and yielded a crop. A hundred times more than was planted.” And when he had said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear! Let them hear!”

36 - One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to dine with him, so he went to the Pharisee's house and was reclined at table, 37 when a woman of the city, who was known to be notorious, learned that he was there, and brought an alabaster flask of ointment. 38 And standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair, and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.

     39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he thought to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a known sinner.”

     40 But Jesus answered, “Simon, I have something to say.” And he said, “Say it, teacher.”

     41 “A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 When they could not pay, he cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?”

     43 Simon answered, “The one, I suppose, for whom the larger debt was canceled.” And he said to him, “You have judged rightly.” 44 Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you gave me no water for my feet. (It was a polite custom to offer guests water to rinse the dust of the street off their feet.) But she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You gave me no kiss of greeting. But from the time I came in, she has not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet. 47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she now loves much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little.” 48 And he said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven.”

     49 Then those who were at table with him began to say among theirselves, “Who is this? Who even forgives sins?” 50 And he said to her, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

24 - When John's messengers had gone, Jesus said to the crowds that were around him, “What was it you went out into the wilderness to see? Was it a reed shaken by the wind? 25 What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are dressed in fine clothing and live in luxury are in kings' courts. 26 What then did you go out to see? To see a prophet? Yes. And I tell you, more than a prophet! 27 This is he of whom it’s written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before you, who will prepare the way for you.’ 28 I tell you, among those born of woman, none is greater than John. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

     29 When all the people heard this, and the tax collectors too (disliked, even despised, because they collected taxes for Rome) they all declared God just, having been baptized (prepared) with the baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God, and were not baptized by John.

     31 “To what then shall I compare the people? What are they like? 32 They’re like children in the marketplace, calling to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We sang a dirge, and you didn’t weep.’ 33 For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’ 34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 35 Yet wisdom is justified of her children.”

11 - A little later Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples and a great crowd were with him, 12 and as they drew near to the gate of the town, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow. A considerable number of the people from the town were with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, he felt very sad for her. And he said to her, “Don’t weep.” 14 And he came up and touched the bier, as the bearers stopped and stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, rise.” 15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus returned him to his mother. 16 Great amazement seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen among us!” and “God has visited his people!”

     17 This report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country, 18 and the disciples of John reported all these things to John. And he,19 calling two of his disciples, sent them to the Lord, to ask, “Are you the one who is to come? Or shall we look for another?” 20 And so the men went to him, and said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?’” 21 In that same hour he healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and many who were blind he gave sight to. 22 And he answered the disciples of John, “Go and tell John what you’ve seen and heard - the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up. The poor have good news preached to them. 23 And blessed are those not scandalized [skandalizó - offended]  by me.”

     6 So Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I’m not worthy to have you come under my roof. 7 Therefore I didn’t presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed. 8 For I too, am a man under authority, with soldiers under me, and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes. And to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes. To my worker, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

     9 When Jesus heard this, he marveled, and turning to the crowd following him, said, “I tell you, not even in all Israel have I found such faith!” 10 And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.

17 - After being up on the mountain, praying during the night, he came down into a great crowd of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon. 18 They came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses and diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were also cured. 19 And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.

     20 Looking out upon the crowd of people, he said to them, “Blessed are you, the poor, for the kingdom of God is yours. 21 Blessed are those hungering now, for they will be filled. Blessed are those who weep now, for they shall laugh. 22 Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you {are not inclusive} and insult and slander, you, as evil, on account of the Son of Man! 23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy. For your reward, stored in heaven, is great. For so were the prophets treated.” {Like the red horseman response to the white horse and horseman (the gospel) riding forth, as “a sword not peace” at 1st brief advent.}

     24 “But woe to you who are rich [apechó - to have in full, receive, be distant, abstain {from God!}]. For you are receiving your leisure now. 25 Woe to you not hungering now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you laughing now” {because of evil doings and plots?} “for you will mourn and weep.” {Due to earthly judgments/consequences, and the solemn judgment within the heart during GWT Judgment ‘Day’. In some cases deep heart and gut wrenching remorse.. but Jn.12:32. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus portrays initiaL, inner conditions, of some, during GWT Judgment ‘Day’. As does the - outside of the vision - narrative, of Rev.22.] 26 “Woe to you, when the world speaks well of you” {and of today’s - of the world - “false prophet”] “for so the fathers listened to their false prophets.

     27 But I say to you who hear [akouó - listen, hear, understand] love your enemies. Do good to those who despise you. 28 Bless those who curse” {speak evil of, slander, accuse, as cursing?} “you. And pray for those who abuse {accuse, slander?} you. 29 If someone strikes you on the cheek, offer your other cheek as well. And from one who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your shirt.” {Individual, not collective, as collective is the state doing so, impacting the people, and seldom them. Though of course it puts a good face on it. Talks a good talk. You can give away the shirt off your own back, but not off the backs of others. And the state in turn gives the shirt actually to itself. Hello?}

1 - Now faith - is the assurance of what is hoped for [elpizó - to hope, expect, trust] the conviction [élegxos - inner persuasion] of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was [aions were] created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things not seen.

     4 By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And - through his faith - though he died, he still speaks. 5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he wasn’t found, because God had taken him. It was said that he was pleasing to God. 6 And without faith it’s not possible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists, and that he rewards those who look for him {who seek him out}.

35 - Therefore don’t throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 36 For we have need of endurance, so that when we have done the will [theléma - will, desire, purpose] of God we may receive what is promised. 37 For, “Yet a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay. 38 But the righteous lives by faith, and if they shrink back, my soul cannot be happy in them.”

     39 But we’re not of those who shrink back and are ruined, but of those who have faith and are gaining their souls. [Gaining - peripoíēsis - possession, acquisition, preservation; from perí - all around, and poiéō - make, properly, make one's own, completely obtain, i.e. as a full possession (to real advantage) – literally - for abundant, all-around gain.]

6 - On another Sabbath, Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered. 7 And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, because they were looking for a reason to accuse him. 8 But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come up here.” So he did 9 and Jesus said, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm? Or to save life or destroy it?” 10 And after looking around at them all he said to the man, “Reach out your hand.” And he did, and his hand was restored. 11 But the meeting was filled with fury and the people discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

     Mark 3:1 - On another day, Jesus entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. 2 And they watched him to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so they might accuse him. 3 And he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come up here.” 4 And he said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm? To save life or to kill?” But they stayed silent. 5 And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6 The Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.

     7 Jesus then withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great crowd followed. From Galilee, Judea, 8 Jerusalem, and Idumea. From beyond the Jordan River, and from Tyre and Sidon. For when the people heard all that he was doing, they came to him. 9 And he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they crush him, 10 for he had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed around him to touch him. 11 And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!” 12 And he strictly ordered them not to make him known.

{My own study. Review - John saw the white horseman (of the apocalypse, as the horsemen are called). Jesus didn’t bring the lasting peace yet.. the response to the Good News is the red horseman, war, and the rest of the seals, war’s fruits.} 5 - When the Lamb (as slain) opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a black horse! And its rider carried a pair of scales. 6 I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, say, “A quart of wheat for a denarius (bread weighed, scarcity?) and three quarts of barley for a denarius, but don’t harm the oil and wine!” {Double six, a lead up to triple six?} {Double six, a lead up to triple six?} {Riches for some, want and grief for others.}

     7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades {originally, of course, sheol - where all go, Ps.89:48, and where there is no awareness or doing, Eccles.9:10. What is partner to death? The grave, Jn.5:28, Hebrew sheol translated into greek hades, “not seen” state of being gone} followed him (followed death). And death and its partner/place (the grave/sheol) were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with famine, with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth. {Note: plagues follow wars, chem warfare began in WW1. Wild beast may include rogue/violent nations? The one fourth is from its first occurrence to it’s very last? A way of describing the seals that veils the vision.}

30 - For we know he who said, “Mine is vengeance, I will repay.” {Great acts of evil will not go without consequences.} And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” {Even on collective GWT judgement ‘day’ I believe he judges us in our own heart.} 31 A fearful thing it is to fall into the hands of the living God.

    32 But recall the earlier days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a great conflict of suffering, 33 sometimes being publicly subjected to insults and persecution {accusation?} Sometimes being partners with those being mistreated. 34 For you have had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the seizure of your property, since you knew that you have a better and an enduring possession [huparxis - existence, being, substance, property], trust, inheritance].

When he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him? 26 How he entered into the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it isn’t lawful for any but the priests to eat. And he also gave it to those who were with him? 27 The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”

23 - Hold fast and keep ahold of the hope [elpis - expectation] you have affirmed [homología - from homoú - the same, together and légō - speak to a conclusion, lay to rest] {be confident!} without wavering, for he who has made {and notarized} the promise is faithful.

     24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. 26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. {Earthly. Even the three mentions of lake of fire are at fiery events.} 28 Any Hebrew who has set aside the law of Moses perishes without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace?

13 - Jesus went out again beside the sea, and all the people were coming to him, and he was teaching them. 14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi [Matthew] the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him. (Matthew was a Jewish/Hebrew collecting taxes for hated Rome! Such tax collector’s were especially despised.)

     15 And as he reclined at table in Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 17 And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well don’t need a physician, but those who are not well. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Hamartia - “missing the mark” of? perfection. “There are none righteous, not one” Romans 3:10. Some may think they are righteous, perfect, or well enough. But! God is Life (surely?) and he “is perfect”. So we can see how this imperfection is entropy? This slow gehenna fading away, which “does not quit” but concludes in the exact opposite of Life. So - 1Tim.4:10 - “God is savior of all” having built in the remedy from the foundation/beginning”

     18 Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And some came and said to him, “Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t?” 19 And Jesus said, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom’s with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they won’t fast. 20 The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away, and then they’ll fast. 21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the patch tears away, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made. 22 And no one puts new wine into an old wineskin. If they do, the wine will burst the skins. The wine is lost, and the skin is ruined. But new wine is for new wineskins.”

27 - Later on as he was walking, Jesus saw a tax collector named Levi [Matthew] sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, “Come and follow me.” 28 And leaving the booth, Levi followed.

     29 Later, at his house, he gave a great feast for him. And there was a large company of tax collectors and others reclining at table with them. 30 And the Pharisees and scribes complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

     31 But Jesus answered them, saying, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, only the unwell.” {Which is all of us!} 32 “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

      33 And they said to him, “The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do our disciples, but yours both eat and drink!” 34 And Jesus said to them, “Can you make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?” {And the celebration’s going on?} 35 “Days will come when the bridegroom is taken away. They will fast in those days.”

     36 And so he told them a parable, “No one patches an old garment with a patch made of new cloth. If they do, the piece from the new will not match the old, and the tear will be made worse. 37 And no one puts new wine into an old wineskin. If they do, the new wine will burst the skin and be spilled, and the skin will be ruined. 38 But new wine must be put into a new wineskin. 39 But no one after drinking old wine desires the new, for they say, ‘The old is good” {enough?} [Chréstos - kind, good, benevolent, useful.]

17 - On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with him to heal. 18 And behold, some men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and lay him before Jesus,19 but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus. 20 And when he saw their faith, he said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.” 21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

     22 When Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered them, “Why do you question in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? 24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the man who was paralyzed—“I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home.” 25 And immediately he rose up before them and picked up what he had been lying on and went home, glorifying God.26 And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, “We have seen extraordinary things today.”

8 - When he said, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings or burnt offerings and sin offerings” - these being offered according to the law -  9 he then added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” And by this he does away with the first (covenant, program, contract, legal document and testament, guarantee, promise) in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will {of God, and testament} we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. {And so reconciled to Life, free from the death penalty, which entropy/imperfection results in. Free from guilt. No option to stray in Eden would be an Ant Farm. Ant Farm versus immunity? Total ‘herd’ immunity.}

     11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sin [hamartia - missing the mark] {imPerfection/entropy, the fire, and worm, that “doesn’t quit”}. 12,13 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sin {and redemption, ransom.. all this “law” ..Death is a natural law.
