     04/26 - GospeL Verses 

(Jesus continues, answering “what will be the sign of your coming and the consummation/completion/end of the age?”) 24:7 - For nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in different places. 8 But all this is the beginning of birth pains.

     9 Then, they’ll deliver you up to tribulation [thlipsis - trouble, distress, affliction, persecution, from thlibō - to press, squeeze] and even put you to death. For you will be hated by all nations because of my name. 10 And then many will fall away {from the way} and will betray one another, and hate one another. 11 And many pseudo {misled} prophets will rise and mislead many. {Of all stripes?} 12 And as lawlessness increases, the love of many will grow cold. {Don’t get caught in gears of thAt! Starts as division? Suspicion.. accusation.. division.. even hate.. Kind of easy for the adversary in this modern digital age?} 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved [sózó - saved, rescued, delivered, healed, preserved, from a primary word σώος (sóos) - safe, sound]. 14 And this GOOD news {huge understatement} of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations. And then the end will come. {Armageddon? Where occurs the first mention of a lake of fire.. Mt.13:30/Rev.16:14-15-16 and, or Mt.25:1-13(10) …Six millennia down (things running their course versus humanity as an ant farm?) On the “8th ‘day’” all imperfection and self as first and foremost will be completely removed from off of humanity. Instead of total ant farm, God opted for total ‘herd’ immunity? The dis-ease, this slow gehenna crucible we call entropy - as part of the cure? Which “doesn’t quit”/reverse, so “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10.

     Ps.33:9 - “God spoke and it was done” ..into the universe as is - no billions of years of a still occurring steady state explosion -  done right up to totaL finish. Yes done, totally free.. so might as well respond.. go with HiS flow.. because he’s going to have his total way.. “The lion will eat straw like the ox” (Is.11:7) There’s TWO (collective) resurrections. Jesus is “Forever First/Proto” and the prototype.. At the “end of the age” occurs Mt.13:30 as either Rev.16:14-15-16 {the wolf voice of division via accusation as siren call} or Mt.25:1-13(10) to serve called reigning during Jesus’ long second advent of the 7th and 8th millennial days.. A full scope version of his first so brief one.. The rich man and Lazarus and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22 portray initiaL conditions of some who rise “still in their sins/hamartia - “missing the mark”/imperfection/entropy. The partner “made new” event, by “putting on perfection and immortality” isn’t until aFter the GWT judgment ‘day’ — second half of the “8th ‘day’”/millennium. (Rev.20 is told like describing the crests of waves but not much of the in between. ..Well I sure rambled on today.. I could write quite a bit more. (I attempt to summarize so as to keep it brief, but full.)
