JOHN 8 21-32

 🍃🕊️ 03/17 - GospeL Verses 🕊️🍃

                  (paraphrased)

21 - Jesus told the people again, “I’m going away. And you’ll look for me, but you’ll die in your sin [hamartia - missing the mark]. Where I’m going, you cannot go.” 22 So they said, “Will he kill himself? Since he says, ‘Where I’m going, you can’t go’?” 23 He said to them, “You are from below” {thiS is the below, and the “lower part of earth” is the grave, originally the hebrew sheol - “where there is no doing nor knowing/awareness” - if visited by a no longer here loved one it’s from another dimension called the future(?) - and a direct verse quote only exchanging the greek hades for the hebrew sheol, shows hades is the same place and condition as sheol (Ps.16:10, Acts 2:27), Jesus was in the grave for three days and nights, his visit to those locked into destruction during the one hundred years of Noah’s building of the ark, was whiLe the ark was being built (1Pet.3:19-20) as (logically?) he went and preached via Noah “a preacher of righteousness” (2Pet.2:5) - other than that, pre-flood was hands off}.

     “I am from above. You’re of this world, but I’m not of this world. 24 I told you that you would die in your imperfection/missing the mark, for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your missing the mark (of perfection. So will rise into the GWT judgment ‘day’ (“aionion”) - INITIALLY - still in the missing the mark condition. That God iS life is the iron/unbreakable natural law, number one. And number two, is he “is perfect”. So imperfect is entropy a process (crucible) that does not quit/reverse. BUT. No option to stray in Eden, and creation would be an ant farm. So the remedy - strong enough to appease eveRy conscience (for imperfect is also an abyss of potential - so the remedy) was built in. During pre-flood even cannibaalism was rife? “Covering angels” of animals joined the “covering angel over Eden” in his rebellion, so some animals turned predator? And if man had not become carnivore, mankind would’ve become prey? How low can we (each of us) go? Depends where God blocks the shaft to the abyss with his hand?}

     25 So they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus answered, “Just what I’ve been telling you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to tell you and to judge concerning you. But he who sent me is true and genuine, and what I speak to the world is what I hear from him.” 27 But they didn’t understand he was talking to them about the Father. 28 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I’m he, and that I do nothing on my own, but I say what the Father has taught me. 29 And he is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him.” {And perfect, an immutable law.} 30 As he was saying these things, many believed in him.
