         Paul’s Letter To The Romans

12 - Now if Israel’s rejecting the message means riches for the world, and if their failure means richness for the nations, think how much greater the blessing, when they do accept the message.13 Now I’m speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I’m an apostle to the Gentiles/nations, I magnify my ministry {service} 14 to hopefully make my fellow Jews (Hebrews) jealous, and so save some of them. 15 But if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their return mean but life from the dead? {Christ’s return! Mt.23:39.} 16 If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is all the dough. And if the root of the tree is holy, so are the branches.

     17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, 18 don’t be arrogant toward the natural branches. If you are, remember it’s not you who support the root, but it’s the root that supports you. 19 Or you might say, “Branches were broken off to make room for me.” 20 That’s actually true. But they were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through your faith. But don’t become proud, 21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, then neither will he spare you! 22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God. Severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. {Truth is a hard taskmaster, for us all?} And otherwise you too will be cut off. 23 And even they, if they don’t continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 And if you, from a wild olive tree, was grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will the natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree.

3 - There is no curse there, and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no

night there and they will not need light of lamp or sun, for the LORD God will righten upon them. And they will reign {🗝️”crowns of Life” not metal, Daniel 2:36-45} to the ages, of the ages.

     6 And he said to me (John), “These words are trustworthy and true. And the LORD, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”

     7 “So behold, I’m coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

     8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, 9 but he said to me, “You must not do that! I’m a fellow servant with you and your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” 10 And he said to me {narrative that is spoken - outside - of the vision} “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near [eggus - at hand, near, nigh, ready]. 11 {Then/at that time} Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.” {Speaking about conditions befoRe apocalypse, noT after Rev.21:1-5, etc. Mt.13:30 as both Rev.16:14-15-16 and Mt.25:1-13.

     14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so they may have right to the tree of life and may enter the gates of the city. 15 Outside are the contemptible, the sorcerers [pharmakos - sorcerers, magicians, from pharmakon - drug, spell] and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. {For the city, the kingdom, is here now.. just not fully.}

     16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things. I’m the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” {The beginning of day..}

     17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Yes, come!” [Erchomai - can denote both the act of coming and the state of having arrived.] “And let the one who is thirsty come! Let the one who desires take of the water of life without price.

     18 But I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, God will add to them the plagues described in this book. 19 And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away their part of the tree of life and of the holy city, which are described in this book. {And will be outside the city at His return. Instead of having part in serving upon GWT judgment ‘day’ will be learning and being corrected then, instead of having been corrected now.} 20 And he who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

     21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen. (End of the Book of the Revelation Vision.)

    🍃🕊️ 02/21 - GospeL Verses 🕊️🍃

22 - Jesus had the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 And after he sent the crowds home, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. And evening came, and he was there alone, 24 but the boat by now was a long way off from land. And it was being beaten and tossed about by the waves, for a wind had risen and was blowing against them. 25 Then in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the water. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea toward them, they were terrified! And they cried out in fear, “It’s a ghost!” 27 But Jesus said, “Take heart! it is I. Don’t be afraid!” {Thought I’d take the shortest route..}

     28 And Peter said, “Lord, if it’s you, tell me to come to you on the water.” 29 So Jesus said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. 30 But then he looked around at the wind and the waves and he started to sink, and he cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Jesus reached out his hand and took hold of him, “Oh you of little faith” he said, “why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind stopped blowing. 33 And those in the boat were in awe, and said, “Truly! You are the Son of God.”

     34 And they came to land at Gennesaret. 35 And when the people of that place recognized him, they sent around to all that region and brought to him all who were sick 36 and implored him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched, were made well. {Is his long second advent a full scope version of his first so brief one?}

        Paul’s Letter To The Romans

7 - What then? Israel failed to achieve what it was seeking. A chosen few obtained it, but the rest were hardened [póroó - hardened, made callous, rendered insensitive] 8 as it’s written, “God gave [didómi - gave, granted] them a spirit of stupor, eyes not seeing and ears not hearing, down to this very day.” 9 And David said, “Let be, their table for a snare and a trap, for a stumbling block and a retribution. 10 Let their eyes be darkened so they do not see, their backs be bent.” {With heavy burden, servitude.. their table, cause and effect. Israel as microcosm, world as macro.}

11 So I ask! Did they stumble in order to perish [piptó - fall, fail, degrade, perish]? Certainly noT! Rather, through their trespass, salvation/rescue has come to the nations! {We are saved from two things. The abyss of death/not being, end result of entropy/corruption, come about because God is Life and “is Perfect” mt.5:48, thus straying and strayed is imperfection, which is entropy. And two - from the abyss of potential which imperfection is. Which has already been proven by history. We are saved from imperfection which is entropy - because God iS life and “is perfect” so reconciles us tonhimself. Imperfection as entropy being a natural law and process that runs its course to completion.. And because God “is Perfect” the ultimate ‘end’ result of all this has to be..?}

14 - When the people saw the miracle that Jesus had done, they said to one another, “This must be the Prophet who’s to come into the world!”

     15 Seeing then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus went away to the mountain alone. 16 And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, 17 got into a boat and started back across to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus hadn’t yet come back.

     18 The lake became rough because a strong wind was blowing. 19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the water toward them, and they were afraid. 20 But he called out to them, “It is I, don’t be afraid.” 21 Then they were happy and took him on board, and immediately the were at land, to where they had been going.

1 - I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself (Paul) am an Israelite. A descendant of Abraham and a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected his people which he foreknew {would happen?} Do you know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God about Israel? 3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets! They have demolished your altars! And I only am left! And they seek my life.” 4 But what is God's reply? “I have kept for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 So too, at the present time there’s a remnant, chosen by grace. 6 But if it’s by grace, it’s no longer on the basis of self effort, otherwise grace wouldn’t be grace.

ACTS 23 1-15

         WeekLy BooK oF Acts 

1 - And looking intently at those in the council, Paul said, “Brothers, I have lived my life before God in all good conscience right up to this day.” 2 And the high priest Ananias told those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth. 3 And Paul said, “God is going to strike you! You whitewashed wall! Are you sitting to judge me according to the law, and yet contrary to the law you order me to be struck?”

     4 But some standing by said, “Would you insult God's high priest?” 5 And Paul said, “I didn’t know, brothers, that he’s the high priest.. it’s written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”

     6 Now when Paul saw that one part of the group were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Brothers! I’m a Pharisee! And a son of Pharisees. It’s because of the hope [elpis - expectation] of the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial!” 7 {Wow, rabble rouser.. Took a page from leader’s/establishment’s book!} And when he said this, an argument broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. {Division, tool and siren call of the world.. to?} 8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, no angels, no spirit, but the Pharisees believe in them all. 9 And a great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees' party stood up and contended sharply, “We find nothing wrong in this man! What if a spirit or an angel spoke to him?”10 And when the dissension became violent, the tribune, afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces, commanded the soldiers to go and take him by force from among them, and bring him to the barracks.

     11 The following night the Lord stood by Paul and said, “Take courage, as you’ve testified about me in Jerusalem, so also will you testify in Rome.”

     12 On the next day, some men made a plot and binding theirselves with an oath, said they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul. 13 There were more than forty men who made this conspiracy. 14 So they went to the chief priests and elders and said, “We’ve strictly bound ourselves by an oath to taste no food until we have killed Paul. 15 So you, along with the council, send to the tribune to bring him down to you again, as though you’re going to examine his case more fully. For we’re ready to kill him before he gets here.”

(This reading schedule is the four gospels into two six month readings, so there is sometimes repetition.) 15 - As evening was approaching, the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a lonely place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages to buy food.”

     16 Jesus said, “They don’t need to go. You can give them something to eat.” 17 They answered, “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish.” 18 “Bring them to me,” Jesus said. 19 He had the people sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave the bread and fish to the disciples, and the disciples passed it out to the people. 20 And they all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Everything I know

Is.24:20 is rev.10:4. (Test? rev.13:13 pinpoints an office.) Mt.13:30 is both rev.16:14-15-16 and/oR Mt.25:1-13 -> to serving called reigning during a long 2nd advent.. crowns of Life, not metal. Metals are “the world” (Dn.2:36-45, 7:7,19 (hello?) The world has donned sheep’s clothing and mask slippage goes unnoticed.. But on a Good note, Ps.91,46,23, Rev.7:15-17, Lk.1:33, Is.11:7, 1Tim.4:10.

We are at Rev.7:1,3 after the 1st. 6:12-17 event, described as a whirlwind of its entire effects, first to last, at the beginning of the vision, skews and veils the vision - which vision - Father loves a good riddle, hiding things in plain sight - is told 3 times.

[1]6:1-2 to 11:19; [2]ch.12, vs.17 w/ mt.23:39; and [3]13:1 to 19:11 ..the three rejoin at the 7th trumpet.. Jesus went (basically) from ascension to rev.4. All weeping, gnashing of teeth is fruit, cause and effect.. the dis-ease as part of the cure/immunity. 1Tim.4:10, Jn.12:32 and on into infinity.. as to the CU / UR in the scripture. Translation, lack of belief changed “all” greek pas into “all things”. It was big bang into universe as is, but a clock not running, then set in motion. There’s two obvious outlines of all this. The week plus one. And the Spring - and - Fall holy days of Lev.23, the 1st short advent, and the much longer, stretched out 2nd advent. Rev.21:1-5, Is.11:7. Rev.20 as the crests of waves only, and Rev.22 has narrative that is outside of the vision, Mt.25:10.

         Paul’s Letter To The Romans

(Paul is grieved because the majority of his kinsmen are not understanding the message.) 16 - But they have not all obeyed the message of God, the gospel [euaggelion - gospel, good news]. For Isaiah says, “LORD, who has believed our report?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the words [rhema - utterance] of Christ. 18 But I ask, have they heard? Indeed, “the voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” 19 But I ask, did Israel understand? {Outer law/rules couldn’t work for even one nation. Couldn’t work with the first pair. So what is God’s other options for creation? How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? For thinking includes at least some power of choice. God as Life, witnesses and lives through all that ever occurs, and he endowed thinking anyway!}

     First Moses says, “I will make you jealous by those not a nation. By a nation without understanding I will make you angry.” 20 And later Isaiah is so bold as to say, “I have been found by those who didn’t look for me. I’ve made myself known to those who didn’t ask for me.” 21 But of Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.” {Israel, smaller scope, humanity, full scope -> pattern of prophecy, and more.}

JOHN 6 1-13

   🍃🕊️ 02/18 - GospeL Verses 🕊️🍃

1 - After this Jesus crossed over to the other side of Galilee Sea, also called the Sea of Tiberias. 2 A large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs he was doing, how he healed the sick. 3 Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. 4 It was the  days (week and feast) of Passover (or also called of Unleavened Bread). 5 Seeing a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so all these people may eat?” 6 He said this to teach Philip, for he himself knew what he was about to do. 7 Philip thought and said, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for each to get a little!” 8 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said, 9 “There’s a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what is that when there’s so many?”

     10 Jesus said, “Tell the people to sit down on the grass.” There was a field of grass, so they sat down, about five thousand men, plus women and children in number. {Yes women were not counted, remember God had told Eve (prophesied) the strong would ruLe the not as strong. Because straying is imperfection/entropy, and an abyss of potential, so all range of misdeeds and oppressions were bound to occur. And self first and foremost is bound to (especially in power and politics) be dog eat dog.}

     11 Jesus took the loaves they had, gave {an offering and sacrifice of} thanks. {🗝️ to Dan.12:11? w/ Lk.19:41,44?}  And distributed the bread to those who were seated. So also with the fish, and everyone ate as much as they wanted. 12 And when they had finished, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that none be lost.” 13 So they gathered up the left over pieces, filling twelve baskets (parable by numbers) with fragments from the five - barley - loaves. {Barley harvest, first of three main harvests, Mt.13:33, key word 3, with 1Cor.15:22-24,27-28 - vs  27-28, the five “all things” should read “all”. And then what do the verses repeat five/six times? Twelve full baskets of bread made of barley — all equal when all has been said and done, Eph.1:10, which is another case of “all” changed into “all things” - greek word pas - all, every, the whole.. Also in Rev.21:5! “behold I make all new” Jn.13:3, “the Father has given all over into the Son’s hands” and more. But not in 2Tim.3:16, “all scripture for training” yet it’s the same word, pas - every, all, the whole (of scripture. Is there a wrinkle of misunderstanding? The flaw is noT with God. If things were not allowed to - freely - run course, might as well create a total ant farm. Instead God has opted for total ‘herd’ immunity? The dis-ease as part of the cure? Pre flood was hands off ..and first proof. The slow gehenna crucible of imperfect, is an abyss of potential, and the source of all suffering and sorrow. God is Life and “is Perfect” Mt.5:48, so the result (KJV calls wages) of imperfect / greek hamartia - missing the mark, translated sin (which kind of misses the mark?) is death, the final stage of entropy. The fire/heat and worm that doesn’t quit, cannot reverse itself, but which God uses to separate the chaff - and self as first and foremost - from off of the kernels of wheat. Some early (the barley and wheat harvest, to serve) and some later. The self first and foremost - fully - removed/circumcised from off of humanity, upon the “8th ‘day’” the “last Great Day” (Lev.23:36, Jn.7:37) the overflowing grape harvest - 1Cor.15:24-28.

     “Perfect” includes the ‘end’ result of all this. Greek “tel”/end-aim. The end (aim). God is 100% unfettered Genius. Our hope/expectation/trust lies upon HiM. ..”The world” masquerades these days in sheep’s clothing, by which many are being misled. Even though the wolf is so often exposed! Are we willfully blind? ..And Mt.13:30 is both Rev.16:14-15-16 and/oR Mt.25:1-13-to serve called reigning. For before Isaiah 11:7, is Isaiah 24:20 via Rev.10:4? Then all of Rev.20 which is told like describing the crests of waves, and not much of the in between the crests. In Rev.22 is narrative that is outside-of the vision, and like the rich man and Lazarus parable, portrays the initiaL, inneR conditions - of some - during that “8th ‘day’” — Creation expLoded into the universe as is, and THEN, was set in motion. The week plus one - first outline; then the Spring and Fall holy days oF Lev.23 as the outline of the first (so brief) and second (long) advents of Jesus. I don’t mean to be babbling on so lately.. But Truth, the message of God, is bursting with glory! And is an unstoppable fountain..}

11 - For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be shamed.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek {between hebrew and former pagan; between saved and not yet saved; or between literal and spiritual/metaphor? - for the two are ONE} for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call upon him. {Ego seeks to divide literal and metaphor? Or vice versa.. They are not mutually exclusive, don’t have to be. Logically cannot be. The root of denial, of either(!) is fear? But we keep going forward, not grasping old, outdated.. So Perfect Love can cast away aLL fear.} 13 For “everyone who calls upon the name [onoma - name, character, fame, reputation, cause] of the Lord is saved.”

     14 How then will someone call upon him, if they don’t believe he is? And how can they believe he is, if they’ve never heard of him? And how are they to hear without someone speaking? 15 And how are they to speak it, unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who proclaim the good news!”

1 - At that time Herod the tetrarch [tetrarchés - from the Greek words tetra, meaning four, and archon - ruler, leader; ruler over a fourth part of a region] heard about the fame of Jesus, 2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead. This is why these miracles are happening.” 3 For Herod had seized John, chained him and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, 4 because John had said to him, “It’s not lawful for you to have her.” (And both Herod and Philip were her uncles?) 5 And though he wanted to put him to death (previously having listened to him) he feared the people, because they held him as a prophet. 6 But when Herod's birthday came around, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company and pleased Herod, 7 so much so that he promised, with an oath, to give her whatever she might ask. 8 Advised by her mother, she asked for the head John the Baptist to be brought to her on a platter.” 9 And the king was sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be done. 10 So he sent and had John beheaded in the prison, 11 and his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. 12 And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and then went and told Jesus.

     13 And when Jesus was told, he withdrew from there by boat to a lonely place by himself. But when the crowds heard of it, they followed him on foot from the towns, 14 and when he went ashore he saw a great crowd. And having compassion for them, he healed their sick.

In many shades..?} 3 For not knowing of the righteousness of God, and seeking to attain their own, they don’t submit to God's righteousness. 4 For Christ is the end [telos - the end aim] of the law for righteousness to everyone believing. 5 Moses wrote about the righteousness that is based upon the law {external} that the person who does the commandments shall live by them. 6 But the righteousness based upon faith {internal} says, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who shall ascend into heaven?’” that is, to bring Christ down {to ones self?} 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” that is, to bring Christ up from the dead. 8 But what does it say? “The word is near to you, in your mouth and in your heart” that is, the word of faith that we proclaim. 9 Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you are saved.10 For with the heart we believe and are freely justified. And with the mouth we speak it and are saved [sozo - safe, rescued, delivered]. {Fini. The end. (Aim)}

MATTHEW 13 44-58

   🍃🕊️02/16 - GospeL Verses 🕊️🍃

44 - (Jesus continues.) “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure that’s hidden in a field! A person at finding it, will cover it up again, and then in joy will go and sell all that they have and will go and buy that field.” {The treasure of Truth is hidden in plain sight, in intriguing riddles? Father likes a good riddle?}

     45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 and when he finds one pearl, of great value, will go out and sell all that he has and buy it.

      47And again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that is thrown into the sea and gathers fish of every kind. 48 And when it’s full, men draw the net ashore and sort the good from the not good. And they will gather the good but throw back the bad. 49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the evil from the righteous 50 and throw them into the fiery furnace.” {Judgment, consequences, results.} There will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.” {Fiery judgment simultaneous with Jesus’ return beginning his long second advent - Mt.13:30 is both Rev.16:14-15-16 and Mt.25:1-13. And they rise into GWT judgment ‘day’ initially some gnashing teeth.. which progresses to weeping..}

     51 “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes.” 52 And he said, “Every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the head of a house, who brings out of their store, treasure that is new, and treasure that is old.” [2Tim.3:16]

     53 And when Jesus had finished these parables, he left there, 54 and coming to his hometown he was teaching in the synagogue, and they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works? 55 Isn’t this the carpenter's son? Isn’t his mother called Mary? And aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? (We have letters written later by James and Jude.) 56 And don’t all his sisters live here? Where then did he get all this?” 57 And they were offended at him. But Jesus said, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own household.” 58 And he was not able to do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.

         Paul’s Letter To The Romans

27 - And Isaiah cried out concerning Israel, “Though the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved [sozo - saved, healed, preserved, rescued] 28 for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth fully and without delay.” {Let’s look at the words, verse 28 - Logos - word, speech, words, message, reasoning - because (to) sunteleó - complete, accomplish, bring to an end - and suntemnó - cut short, shorten - poieó - to make, to do, to act, to cause, to work - LORD upon the Earth.}

     29 And also Isaiah predicted, “If the LORD of hosts had not left us offspring, we would have been like Sodom and become like Gomorrah.” {Ashes. Awaiting resurrection into GWT judgment/full discernment ‘day’.} 30 What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who didn’t pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith. 31 But Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness missed the mark in reaching that goal. 32 Why? Because they didn’t pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on {their own} works. They have stumbled over the stone that makes people stumble. 33 Even as it’s written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock that offends. And whoever believes in him will not be confounded nor shamed.”

MATTHEW 13 31-43

   🍃🕊️02/15 - GospeL Verses 🕊️🍃

31 - He told them another parable, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a person takes and plants in their garden. 32 It’s the smallest of all the seeds, but when it’s grown it’s larger than all the garden plants and becomes like a tree, so that the birds of the air even come and make nests in its branches.”

     33 And yet another. “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman takes and hides in three measures of flour, until - it’s all leavened.” {Three loaves, three harvests, 1Cor.15:22-24,27-28.}

     34 All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables. He was saying nothing to them without a parable. 35 This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet, “I will open my mouth in parables. {Riddles! Things hidden in plain sight!} I will utter what has been hidden since the beginning/founding of the world.”

     36 When he left the crowds and went into the house, his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.” 37 He said, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons and daughters of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons and daughters (still) of the evil one {this world}. 39 And the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40 Just as the weeds are gathered and burned in a fire, so will it be at the end of the age. 41 And the Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all practicing of lawlessness. 42 They will be thrown into the fiery furnace. {Is.24:20, Rev.10:4?} There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.

19 - You might say to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” {Concerning those he doesn’t yet call.} 20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will the clay say to the potter, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Has the potter no right to his clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel as sacred and another as common? 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath [orge - passion] {cause and effect/truth like gravity, isn’t made to be broken} and so to make known his power, has endured with much patience, vessels of wrath going to ruin [apóleia - ruin, loss, destruction] 23 in order to make known the riches of his glory upon/in vessels of mercy, which he makes ready for {widespread/full scope?) revelation/revealing [doxa - glory] 24 which he has called us, not from the Hebrews/Jews only, but also from the Gentiles/nations. 25 As indeed he says in Hosea, “Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’ and she [nations] who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’” 26 “Yes in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons and daughters of the living God.’”

Revelation 21 23 to 22 2

 WeeKly BooK oF Revelation

      By Necessity Slightly 

             Paraphrased   

23 - On the east side (of the heavenly Jerusalem, that John saw come down to Earth) there were three gates, on the north side there were three gates, with three gates on the south side, and also on the west side. The four sides of the heavenly city having three gates each. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve (great) foundation stones, and upon the foundation stones were engraved the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

     15 And the one who spoke with me had a measuring rod made of gold in order to measure the city and its gates and its walls. 16 The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his measuring rod, 12,000 stadia. Its length and width and height are equal. 17 He also measured its wall, 144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel's measurement. (All of it a cube?) 18 The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold and {radiant} like clear glass. 19 The foundation stones of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the them made of a single pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

     22 But I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. 23 And the city actually has no need of sun or moon to shine upon it! For the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb, 24 and by its light will the nations walk, and the kings of earth will bring their glory into it, 25 and its gates will never be shut by day. And there shall be no night there. 26 They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 But nothing unclean can enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

     22:1 - Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, and it was as bright and clear as crystal. And it flowed from the throne of God and of the Lamb, 2 and it flowed through the middle of the street of the city. And on either side of the river, was the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, each for its month. The leaves of the tree being for the service and care of the nations. …{A spiritual picture within a literal picture!? Or vice versa?}

18 - “Hear then the meaning (the voice) of the parable of the sower” Jesus continued. 19 “When someone hears the good news of the kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in their heart. This is the seed that was sown along the pathway. 20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is when someone hears the word and receives it with joy. 21 Yet they have no root within theirself, and so they endure only a while, and when trouble or persecution arises on account of the message” {the Kingdom versus man’s world; God’s creation versus mankind’s creation upon it} “they soon fall away.

     22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is when someone hears the message, but the cares of the world and the lure of worldly things and riches chokes the message, and it becomes unfruitful. 23 But the seed that is planted upon good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. And they indeed bear fruit, and yield, sometimes a hundredfold, sometimes sixty, and with another thirtyfold.”

     24 Then he told them another parable, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But! While his men were sleeping, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and then stole back away. 26 And later, when the wheat came up and was bearing grain, the weeds were there too. 27 And the servants of the master of the house came and said, ‘Master! Wasn’t it good seed you sowed in your field! Why are there all these many weeds as well?’ 28 He answered, ‘An enemy has done this!’ So the servants said, ‘Do you want us to go and gather out the weeds?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, in taking out the weeds, you might also ruin some of the wheat. 30 Let them grow together until harvest, and at harvest time I’ll say to the reapers ‘Gather first the weeds in bundles’ {armies rev.16:14-15-16) ‘to be burned.’” (In a bonfire, at this point is the first mention of a lake of fire.) “‘But gather the wheat into my barn.’” {Through the door of the ten bridesmaids parable, Mt.25:1-13.}

        Paul’s Letter To The Romans

9 - For this is what the promise was: “About this time next year I will return, and Sarah shall have a son.” 10 And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by our forefather Isaac, 11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad - in order that God's purpose of election {HiS choosing} might continue, not because of works {not because any are better or worse} but because of he who calls {assigns one of two roles} - 12 she was told, “The older (Esaua) will serve the younger (Jacob).” 13 As it’s written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I loved less” [miseó - hate, detest, love less, esteem less] {logic - “God iS love” 1Jn.4:8}. [Romans 11:32 - “God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all.” But some are “firstfruits”. Why? Choices other than God’s are being ket to run their course, which is entropy to its full conclusion, both individual and collective.. Instead of us being some sort of ant farm, it was engineered that all undertake this unavoidable journey through this all important contrast, all together at once, with some being corrected (kolasin) now who will serve called reigning during the Lord’s long second advent. Full scope version of his first so brief one - surely? As it iS GOD who chooses WHEN one believes, is reconciled to Him, and goes through the process of correction to full discernment/judgment.}

     14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! 15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” {Like assigning roles.. “all the world’s a stage” - Shakespeare.} 16 So then - it depends not upon human will, or exertion, but depends upon God, who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name [onoma - name, character, fame, reputation, cause] might be made known in all the earth.” 18 So then he has mercy on whom he wills, and hardens {or keeps hard} whomever he wills. [Hard - sklērýnō – hardened, inflexible, literally - dried out.] {To be “called, etc” during this lifetime is a lucky shake of the heavenly dice.}

MATTHEW 13 1-17

     🍃🕊️02/13 - GospeL Verses 🕊️🍃

1 - A while later that same day, Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. 2 And a great crowd gathered around him, so many so, that he got into a boat and sat down, and while the crowd stood on the beach, 3 he told them many things in parables, saying, “A sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and ate up the seed. 5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and they sprang up quickly, but since they had no depth of soil, 6 when the sun rose high, they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. 7 Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them off. 8 But some seed fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirtyfold. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.” {🌽}

     10 Then the disciples came up to him and asked, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” 11 And he answered, “To you it’s been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it hasn’t been given. 12 For to the one who has, more will be given, and they will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what they have will be lost. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing they don’t hear, nor do they understand”. {Mortal person cannot understand until God calls.. and “the seed” Jesus is implanted in them and God waters and nourishes it.} 14 “Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says, ‘You will indeed hear but not understand, and you will indeed see but not perceive. 15 For the heart has grown dull, and with ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’ [Isaiah 6:9-10]

     16 But - blessed - are your eyes, for they are seeing, and your ears, for they are hearing. 17 For truly, I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you now see, and didn’t see it, and to hear what you now hear, and didn’t hear it.”

Romans 9 1-8

  02/12 ~ From New Testament Letters

  🕊️ (In the Order Believed Written)

        Paul’s Letter To The Romans

1 -  I (Paul) am speaking the truth in Christ - I am not lying, my conscience bearing witness to me in God’s Holy Spirit - 2 that I have great sorrow and unending anguish in my heart! 3 I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers! My kinsmen according to the flesh. {‘Accursed’ - to rise into GWT judgment ‘day’ of kolasis/korrection/correction, instead of in the “first resurrection” at the Lord’s full appearing and return.} 4 They’re Israelites! And to them belong the adoption! The glory! The covenants! The giving of the law, the worship, and the promises! 5 To them belong the patriarchs. And from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is over all, and God blessed forever. Amen and amen.

     6 But it is not as though the word {plan/working} of God has failed! For not all who are descended from Israel are belonging to (the real/spiritual, totality Israel) 7 and not all are children of Abraham because they are his (mortal) offspring. But as it’s written, “through Isaac shall your descendants be.” 8 This means it is not the mortal person who is named as child of God {us in the imperfect strayed self} but it’s the children of the promise who are counted/named as the children. [Jesus, was and is the promise. He is the logos/truth/reasoning personified.. The light, the Son, only straight out from God one, so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence. Same as will saturate and “seal” humanity and all creation.] ..{Currently, we’re still holding at Rev.7:1,3.. which seems ’long’ to us, but not to Him. And so 7:9 and 4 (which includes 9) continuing and (please LORD) progressing? Jesus having gone basically, from ascension to chapter four, and from where the four horsemen ride forth from, and the other seals. (The seals are elements of this age, the years of our Lord, A.D. The last seal broken brings out the trumpets. From pause after the first seal six event.. to blare of a trumpet.. Six.. the number of man, who is made of carbon which has six protons, six neutrons and six electrons. I also heard the triple six (also) represents the “strong delusion” of man as god/highest power. The (myth of) man/anthropos “seated in the temple as god”/highestpower, has caused western civilization, once called Christendom, to “fall away”. (Compliments of an of the world “false prophet” which is not an individual.) All I wanted to say is the way the seals are described veil the whole vision. Oh dear I’m really straying, feeling a wind beneath my wings, I should’ve warned you, lol. They are described - at the beginning of the vision - as their full and entire effects first to last. With that in mind - seal six and then 7:1,3 become quite obvious, yes?

     And, because the vision is told 3 times, 13:13 was the 1st seal six event. ..Which pinpointed an office, not (yet?) an individual who will step lawlessly into Rev.13:1 (Dn.7:7,19 note the metals, Dn.2) some while after 7:1,3 has been interrupted?

     I almost forgot, the three tellings of the revelation vision - 6:1-2 to 19:11; ch.12, vs.17 w/ mt.23:39 however; and 13:1 to 19:11. Guess where they all rejoin.. Mt.13:30 being both Rev.16:14-15-16 and Mt.25:10.}

     Ultimately, Micah 3:3-4, Rev.21:1-5, Isaiah 11:7.. but first Isaiah 24:20, Rev.10:4 (Ps.91,46,23, Rev.7:15-17).}

    Now morning.. forgot to post this last night.

ACTS 22 22-30

          WeekLy BooK oF Acts 

22 - Up until now - until he quoted “I will send you (Messiah) to the nations” - they were listening to him (Paul). Then they started yelling, “Away with such a fellow! He should not be allowed to live!” 23 And as they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and flinging dust into the air, 24 the tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks, saying he should be examined by flogging, to find out why they were in an uproar against him. 25 But when they had stretched him out for the whip, Paul said to the centurion standing by, “Is it lawful for you to flog a man who is a Roman citizen and has not been through the courts?” 26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the tribune and said to him, “Are you sure we should do this? For this man is a Roman citizen.” 27 So the tribune came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” And Paul said, “Yes.” 28 The tribune (official) answered, “I bought this citizenship for a large sum of money.” Paul said, “But I am a citizen by birth.” 29 So those who were about to examine him by flogging withdrew immediately, and the tribune also was afraid, for he realized Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had had him bound.

     30 On the next day, wanting to know the real reason why Paul was being so accused by the Hebrews/Jews (they having been stirred up by their leaders into a mob) he unbound him and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and he brought Paul down to present him before them.

MATTHEW 12 46-50

    🍃🕊️02/12 - GospeL Verses 🕊️🍃

46 - While he was still speaking to the crowd of people, word came that his mother and his brothers were outside, asking to speak to him. 48 But he replied to the one bringing word, “Who is my mother? And who are my brothers?” 49 And stretching out his hand toward his disciples/followers/students, he said, “Here. These are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” {And then very likely of course he went out to them or had them brought in to him, being a good Hebrew/Jewish son and brother. Yet, we who believe/follow are truly his brothers and sisters, being progressively transformed into his likeness — and if he returns (fully) in our lifetime, we will go through the door of the ten bridesmaids parable (Mt.25:1-13) to help and serve, called reigning, during His long second advent of “the” millennium Sabbath rest, from enmity, and during the second half of the advent is - the “8th ‘day’” the “last great day” during which shall be fully removed from humanity the self first and foremost (foreskin) from off of humanity, Lev.23:36, Jn.7:37. The holy days of Leviticus 23 being another outline of Father’s “administration of ages” Eph.1:10. The first outline being the week plus one. The Spring holy days which were so perfectly fulfilled by the Lord’s first brief advent - died on Passover, in the grave as 1st Day of Unleavened Bread began (at sunset/hebrew days & calendar) and rose exactly three days later as weekly Sabbath was ending and third holy day, “Firstfruits” was beginning. So? Logically the more stretched out Fall holy days are fulfilled by his long second advent. A full scope version of his first so brief one (surely? since it is GOD who chooses WHEN each one is called, and corrected, etc).

     Revelation chapter 20 is told like describing the crests of waves, without much about the in between the crests.. a repeated way and theme of the scriptures.. (gap theories).

     And - the three mentions of “lake of fire” are at veRy large fiery EVENTS. Also this present life as we presently know it, of imperfection, which is entropy proceeding to death/state of being gone. A slow gehenna fade, and unavoidable, aLL important contrast. Unavoidable unless creation is to be a mere and total ant farm. And see how it is one and done! - For “all of heaven” angelos, “and all of earth” anthropos. God having opted instead of a total ant farm, for total ‘herd’ immunity. The dis-ease as part of the cure ..and immunity. God being (surely?) Life itself and “is Perfect”.

     “Perfect” also means the ‘end’ result of all this - greek word “tel” - the “end-aim” can onLy be the very best one possible.

     The Fall Holy Days (ancient, of Lev.23) -

TRUMPETS of Rev & return at the 7th — 10days/1000yrs later — (GWT) ‘DAY’ oF ATONEMENT, DOA for the INITIALLY doa, the inner conditions of SOME ->portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable and in the outside-of-the vision narrative of Rev.22. — 5days/500yrs later — TABERNACLES, “new heavens and earth, Rev.21:5, 2Pet.3:12-13, and “God will now TABERNACLE/tent/camp/dwell with mankind, Rev.21:3.

         Paul’s Letter To The Romans

34 - So who is there to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died. And more than that, it is he who was raised, and is now at the right hand of God interceding for us. 35 Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Can tribulation or distress? Persecution, or famine? Nakedness, or danger? Or sword? 36 As it’s written, “For your sake we are being killed” (dying/entropy) “all the day long, we are thought of” {by the adversary and enmity} “as sheep for slaughter.”

     37 But in all these things, we are more than conquerors! Through he who loves us. 38 For I know that neither death nor life, angels nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything in all of creation, is able to separate us from the love of God {so openly displayed} in Christ Jesus our Lord.

     {Now we have the world judging God - but, Ro.3:4 - for Jesus’ crucifixion.. which of course was bound to occur, because the adversary “is god of this world”. (Of entropy, which the first gone rogue one, and all, have been gathered and bound up under. One aNd DONE). Such thinking (judging/blaming God) is short sighted. “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10. Imperfect is an abyss of potential. Christ Crucified (the remedy) hAs to be stroNg enough to appease eveRy conscience. Think cruel, heartless despots, child sex traffickers (&customers), etc. Their INITIAL conditions on GET judgment ‘day’ are portrayed in the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22. Also in the rich man and Lazarus parable.. the inner, outside of the light, darkness.. gnashing of teeth. But which, because Jesus “wiLL draw aLL” (Jn.12:32) will progress to weeping.. beating self up with many stripes.. deep gut wrenching remorse.. (How low can we go? It only depends upon where it is God blocks with his hand.) What anguish is sure to occur to those worst of the worst, until realizing “Christ Crucified”. A strong enough image to appease even the very guiltiest of consciences. So WHO is there to condemn? WHO judges us? WHO is the judge? What works best? (Or perhaps even exclusively!) The outward, being judged by another? Or inward (self) judgment? God, is 100% unfettered Genius. A small clue is the vast universe.. That highly accelerated biG banG into the universe as is, but like a clock not running, then set in motion. Besides being wRong, the world speaks with forked tongue. Has put on sheep’s clothing, but also speaks endless division, the siren call to armageddon -> Isaiah 24:20, Rev.10:4.} [Ps.91,46,23, Rev.7:15-17.]

38 - Then some of the scribes and Pharisees (political leaders of the nation) said to Jesus, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” 39 But he answered them, “An evil [ponéros - evil, wicked, bad, malicious] and unfaithful generation/age seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given except the sign of Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be - three days and three nights - in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation/age and speak against it in judgment, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. 42 The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and speak against it in judgment, for she came from the ends of earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

     43 When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through dry places seeking rest, but it finds none. 44 Then it says, ‘I’ll return to my house from which I came!’ And when it returns, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. 45 So it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, they enter and dwell there, and the state of that person is worse than it was at first. So also will it be with this evil generation/age.” {The holy Spirit/Presence of God hAs to fill eveRy house. And so shall it be. There iS no other Way, for God is Life.}

(As we await the full kingdom) 26 - The Spirit (of God) helps us in our weakness. For we don’t know what we should pray for, but the Spirit{/Presence of God} himself intercedes for us with groanings (in the heart) too deep for words. 27 The searching of the heart reveals the thoughts and inclination of the spirit, because of God is the prayer for the saints. 28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are being called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknows he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those whom he predestines he also calls, and those whom he calls he also justifies, and those whom he justifies he also glorifies.

     31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?! 32 He who didn’t spare his own Son but gave him up for us all [pas - every, the whole, the entire, all] how will he not also with him graciously give us all things [pas - every, the whole, the entire, all]? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect?

    🍃🕊️02/10 - GospeL Verses 🕊️🍃

22 - Then a demon-oppressed man who was both blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and he healed him, so that the man could speak and see. 23 The people were amazed, and said, “Can this be the Son of David?” 24 But when the Pharisees (leaders of the nation) heard of it, they said to one another, “It’s by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.”

     25 Aware of their thoughts, Jesus said, “Every kingdom divided against itself comes to ruin {why division is sowed} and no city or house divided - against itself - will remain standing. 26 So if Satan casts out Satan, he’s divided against himself. How then will his kingdom continue to stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore let them be your judges. 28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit{/Presence} of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you. 29 For how can someone enter a strong man's house {man’s world} and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man {aka “god of this world”}? Then he is able to plunder his house. 30 Whoever isn’t with me is against me, and whoever doesn’t gather with me scatters. 

     31 I tell you, every sin and blasphemy is forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit(/Presence of God) is not forgiven. [Greek words don’t have much future tense. Blasphemy/insulting or raging against God’s Spirit/Presence cannot be forgiven - aphiémi - left, forgiven, abandoned, sent away, while blaspheming/raging/insulting.}

     32 Whoever speaks against the Son of Man, forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit not forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. {Ages - up to Jerusalem’s razing in 70 CE | next the “church age” - the gospel rode forth openly victorious over powers, later comes the prophesied “falling away” backwards, producing the “anthropos of lawlessness”, one of which will rise as the final a.c. and lawlessly ‘step into’ the main seat/horn of the huge eschatological, many headed geopolitical beast (of today, not of yesteryear) | “the” millennium/“thousand years” Sabbath rest from enmity | release of the adversary&co, nations (descendants of mortal survivors of apocalypse) he gathers again for war, and his fiery, final defeat, a second lake of fire mention, then GWT judgment ‘day’ the DOA for the initially doa, initial, inner conditions of SOME portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable, and in the outside-of-the vision narrative of Rev.22, all those who couldn’t go through the door of the ten bridesmaids parable “rise into” the “aionion kolasis” / eonian korrection / age of correction ..GOD chooses which role we play, aka, which resurrection we are in. So correction is all one program, same method for “all”. But think despots, child sex traffickers, etc. rising into the bright radiance of that ‘day’ - from the inner, outside of the light, deep darkness and the gnashing of teeth.. to weeping.. beating self up with many stripes.. aka, heart and gut wrenching remorse.. until realizing the remedy “built in from the beginning, Christ Crucified. Strong enough to appease eveRy conscience. Jesus said, Jn.12:32, “I will draw aLL to me”. So -> 70 CE | ‘church’ age | millennial age | total proof/discernment/judgment age, Lev.23:36, Jn.7:37. Self as first and foremost (dog eat dog) is fully removed from off humanity, followed by “new heavens and earth, elements furiously melting”, third and final mention of a lake of fire. God will now “tabernacle” with mankind, Rev.21:1-5, 2Pet.3:12-13. Leviticus 23 as an outline of the administration/program of the ages, Ephesians 1:10.}

     33 “So make the tree good and its fruit good! Or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad, for a tree is known by its fruit. 34 You nest of vipers! How can you speak good, while being evil? For it’s out of the abundance of the heart, that the mouth speaks. 35 A good person out of their good treasure brings forth good, and the evil doing person out of their evil treasure brings forth evil. 36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak. {On that ‘day’?} 37 For by your words you’re justified, and by your words are you judged.”

     {Jn.5:22 - “God judges no one.” - Jn.12:47 - Jesus said “..I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world”. So who judges? What “kolasis” works the very best?}

17 - And if we are (His) children, then we are heirs. Heirs of God, and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. {Following after Jesus just naturally includes some societal disadvantages, sometimes even in the extreme, plus life’s regular hardships, sorrows, etc.}

     18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed! (Isaiah 7:11, Micah 4:3-4, and so much more. Also where the door of Mt.25:1-13 goes -> crowns of Life, not metal, of serving, called reigning, during Jesus’ long second advent. Surely(?) a full scope version of his first so brief one. The 2nd advent being “the” millennial Sabbath rest from enmity, then the releasing of the adversary&co ..plus his fiery final defeat, and the GWT judgment/full discernment ‘day’.) 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility {imperfection/“missing the mark”/entropy) not willingly, but HE subjected it, in expectation [elpis - expectation, trust, confidence] (which translators always translate as “hope”. Especially in this case however, it’s not like God aLmighty - who created the vast universe (via a bang into the universe as is, theN it was set in motion) and the great array of life, as but a small clue to his abilities - is merely hoping things go as he wants!) 21 (In expectation/planning/design) that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption {entropy, and predator-ness} and obtain the freedom and glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pain of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit. We groan inwardly for the {full} adoption as sons and daughters, as we await the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope (expectation!) we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience… oR “For in this expectation we were saved. Now expectation that is seen and already present, is not expectation. For who is expecting what they already see? 25 But if we are expecting what we don’t see, then we are - waiting for it - with patience.” {A resting in the Lord.}

     15 Knowing this, Jesus moved on from there. And many people were following after him, and he healed them all, 16 and told them not to make him known. 17 This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah - 18 “Behold, my servant, chosen and beloved of me, with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit{/Presence} upon him. And he will proclaim justice to the nations. 19 He will not quarrel, nor will he cry out, no one will hear his voice in the streets. 20 A bruised reed he won’t break, and a smoldering wick he will not put out,

until he brings justice to victory! 21 In his name the nations will hope [elpizó - hope, expect, trust]”

1 - It was at about this time that Jesus was walking past grain fields on the Sabbath and his disciples were hungry, so they began to pluck heads of grain eat them. 2 And when some Pharisees (leaders of the nation) saw it, they said to him, “It’s not lawful for your disciples to do that on the Sabbath!” 3 But he said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him? 4 How he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence! Which isn’t lawful for anyone to eat but the priests?

     5 Have you read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the temple service violate the Sabbath and are free of guilt? 6 I say to you, something greater than the temple is here. 7 And if you had known what it means - ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t condemn the innocent. 8 For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

     9 He went on from there and entered the synagogue. 10 And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him, hoping to accuse him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” 11 He said, “Which one of you who has a lamb, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, won’t take hold of it and lift it out? 12 And of how much more value is a man than a sheep! It’s lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, whole and healthy like the other.

3 - For God has done what the law, weakened by the human (missing the mark) nature, couldn’t do. He did this by sending his own Son {only straight out from God, one} in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he therefore passed judgment upon and condemned sin/missing the mark in the imperfect nature, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled - in us - who walk not according to carnality {and the self first and foremost nature} but walk according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it doesn’t submit to God's law. Indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. {In carnality. This does not mean in the body, which after all God designed. Matter is not the problem, imperfection, an abyss of POTENTIAL is.}

     9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit oF God (His Spirit/Presence) dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ, does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

10 - And he (an angel) carried me (John) in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down from heaven, from God. 11 It was radiant with the glory of God, like a stone most precious, like jasper, and clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall of twelve gates, with twelve angels at the gates. And on them were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. (All believers are “grafted INTO Israel” Ro.11:17-26.) 13 There were three gates facing east, three facing north, three south and three west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold with which to measure the city, the gates and the walls. (Side Note - a rod is a measuring stick, the “iron rod” Jesus will rule the nations with is Truth, which is unbreakable, an unbreakable measure, that breaks all that is not true.) 16 The city was square, and as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. [Stadia - a greek measurement, stadium length, the length of a race course,  furlong which is an 8th of a mile - 12,000 stadia, between 1,300 to 1,400 miles?) 17 The angel measured the wall using human and angel measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick. 18 The wall was of jasper, the city of pure gold, and pure as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The city had twelve foundations, each made of a precious stone, the first jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were of pearl, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure and clear as glass. 22 I didn’t see in the city, a temple, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

(Jesus continues to leaders of the nation.) 30 - “I can do nothing on my own. But what I hear, is how I judge, and my judgment is just, because I don’t seek my will, but the will of he who sent me. 31 If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony isn’t true. 32 There’s another who bears witness about me, and I know his testimony about me is true. 33 You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so you may be saved. 35 He was a shining and burning lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works the Father has given me to do, the very works I’m doing, bear witness about me, that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you’ve not heard, his form you’ve not seen, 38 and you don’t have his word/truth abiding in you, for you don’t believe the one he has sent. 39 You search the Scriptures because you think in them you have enduring life. And it’s the scriptures that bear witness of me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41 I don’t receive glory from people. 42 But I know that you don’t have the love of God in you. 43 I have come in my Father's name, and you don’t receive me. If another comes in his own name, you receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God? 45 Don’t think I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you. Moses, on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me. 47 But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

         Paul’s Letter To The Romans

11 - For sin, seizing opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me. 12 So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

      13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become known as sinful beyond measure. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin. 15 For I don’t understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. {Like when a person tries to diet?} 16 Now if I do what I don’t want, I am still agreeing with the law, that it’s good. 17 So now it’s no longer I who do it, but the sin (hamartia - missing the mark/imperfection) that dwells in me.18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For my spirit is willing, but the doing of the good escapes me. 20 Now if I do what I don’t want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

     21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22 For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, 23 but I see in me another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me a captive to the law of sin that dwells in me. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I am under the law of sin. {God is Life and “is Perfect” so imperfect is this slow gehenna crucible, entropy - which does not quit, cannot reverse. BUT! No option to stray in Eden, and creation would have to be an ant farm.. So the remedy was built in.. Once strong enough to convince every psyche and appease every conscience. John 5:22 says “God judges no one” so he is not an angry God demanding a blood appeasement. His wrath being cause and effect and consequences. We can know that by the bowls - final effects of mankind’s doings - for they are called his wrath, and they're quite obviously the armageddon battle which chain reaction will be generally global, for the “Earth will shake to and fro” Isaiah 24:20.. when the “seven thunders utter their voice” Rev.10:4. (Yes I counted them. But Ps.91,46,23, Rev.7:16,17) The siren call to armageddon is division.. And the three winds, trends, spirits of Rev.16:13. But those three are another study. Though I just learned something new about them.. Which hopefully I will remember what it was.}

     8:1 - There is therefore now no condemnation [katakrima - condemnation, judgment] for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For “the law of the Spirit of life” has set us free, in Christ Jesus, from the law of sin and death. {The Law of Life in Jesus ..and Jesus in us.. leading.. trumps the law of imperfection and entropy which is (unavoidably) death.}

JOHN 5 18-29

    🍃🕊️02/06 - GospeL Verses 🕊️🍃

18 - This was why the leaders of the nation were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he loosening the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

     19 So Jesus told them, “Truly, the Son can do nothing of his own accord. But only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, is what the Son does as well. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all which - he himself - is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so you may wonder. 21 For as the Father raises the dead {“raises “the” dead, not raises their dead bodies, but literally them} and gives them life {a retuRn to being alive and aware, from a state of not being alive/aware}.

     So also, the Son gives life {and awareness} to whom he will. 22 For the Father doesn’t judge anyone, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, I tell you, whoever hears my word {message} and believes he who sent me, has enduring life. They do not come into judgment, but have passed over [metabainó - from meta - after or beyond, and baino - to go, to walk — (have) transitioned] from death to life.” [(My) WORD - logos - word, speech, message, account, reason, doctrine; reasoning expressed in words] {Jesus is the logos/message/reasoning/truth -> personified.}

     25 “Truly, I tell you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. {Now here - until Christ in us, we are reckoned as dead.} 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man” {became in a body like man, was raised as having an incorruptible, non entropic, and perfect body. Surely was saying something by eating with his disciples after he was raised. We do not yet know what manner/substance.. A higher body but still a literal and real body and being. Not only winds. “We shall be like him”.} 28 Don’t marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are - in the tombs - will hear his voice 29 and will come out {of the tombs/graves, out of the dust and lower part of the earth} those who have done good to the resurrection of life” {at his return/appearing and into his long second advent ..as helpers serving, called reigning, full scope version of his so brief first one?} “and those who have done evil [phaulos - evil, wicked, worthless, bad, base] into the resurrection of judgment” {into the GWT (great white throne) judgment/full discernment/proof  ‘day’ of “aionion kolasis”/eonian korrection (age of correction? See Fall holy days of Lev.23) on/during the “8th day” the “last Great Day” - Jn.12:32, 7:37, Lev.23:36; DOA for the initially doa.}
