JOHN 1 35-51

  🍃🕊️01/03 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️

35 - The next day John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 when he saw Jesus as he was walking by and he said, “Look! The Lamb of God!” {Why? Why a sacrifice? (As portrayed in the O.T. worship. Fulfilled via the only straight out from God one. Forever firstborn Son.) Imagine yourself waking up into the radiance of the GWT judgment ‘day’ and you had been a child sex trafficker.. Or even ‘just’ a child labor trafficker.. Or you had been a cruel and heartless despot, abusing and harming untold numbers of, vulnerable to you, people.. Ultimately is it God’s anger at you that needs to be appeased? As God who is Love (Life and “is Perfect”) would he by then pity you more than hate you? I am very much convinced it is the human conscience that hAs to be appeased.. Imagine the gut wrenching remorse some human players will ultimately experience.. And doesn’t God in his total wisdom, know that’s the onLy “correction” (punishment if you prefer like the partially unbelieving translators) that actually works? Surely the condition of inner, outside of the light darkness, portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable, and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22, are INITIAL conditions of SOME during that “last great day” ..the “8th day” (second ‘day’ of Jesus’ long second advent -> 1Cor.15:27-28 “all” repeated five times. Changed into ‘all things’ however. Hello?)

     “The” millennium/further “training”? Also Sabbath from the adversary&co. to the --> Palin/again war to the —> 500 years (Lev.23) of GWT judgment and discernment ‘day’ an “aionion kolasis, to —> “the regeneration” greek palin/again-genesis, about which God says “behold! I make all new!” Rev.21:(1-)5. — “In the beginning” - the Light. And a biG banG into the universe as is (asis) and theN it was set in motion.. Lev.23 - For 6 millennium things let to run course, interfering only when demise was imminent during formative ages. No option to stray in Eden, and creation would be an ant farm? SO the remedy was “built in”.}

     37 The two disciples of John heard him say this, so they left and followed Jesus. 38 Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” 39 He said to them, “Come and see.” So they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour (about 4pm). 40 One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which means Christ). 42 He brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter).

     43 The next day Jesus went to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip went and found Nathanael (Mt.10:3, is Bartholomew?) and said to him, “We have found he of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote! Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” 46 Nathanael said, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said, “Come and see.”

     47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said, “An Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deception!” 48 Nathanael said, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Nathanael said, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” 50 Jesus answered, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ you believe? I tell you, you will see greater things than that. 51 You will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending to the Son of Man.” [Rev.12:5]
