05/27 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

(Paul writing a second letter to Timothy, Verse 9 “..who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of who we are or what we do, but because of hiS own purpose, and grace, which he gave us, in Christ Jesus, before the ages even began”  1O - and which now has been seen {and witnessed) through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death (!) and brought life and immortality to light! Through the good news that is proclaimed, 11 for which I was appointed a preacher, apostle and teacher, 12 which is why I suffer as I do. But I’m not ashamed, for I know who it is I have believed, and I’m convinced he is able to guard until that day, what has been entrusted to me. {The Lord’s ‘day’ or expecting the ‘last day’ when the still tares gather to armageddon? (Siren call division?) Same day Jesus “returns” and begins his long second advent, called gathering the wheat into the barn. Please consider, when you find time, 1Cor.15:22-24,28 wiTh Mt.13:33, key word 3! Three harvests, barley, wheat.. and grape.} 

     13 Follow the pattern and sound teaching you have heard from me. Continue in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 14 And by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you. {Deposit - down payment? Though “deposit” is sort of inserted.. perhaps implied?}.

     15 You’re aware all who are in Asia went away and left me on my own, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. [..It’s interesting that Jesus dictated (to John) seven letters to seven churches of Asia, which begin the Book of Revelation.]

     16 But may the Lord grant special mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains (house arrest in Rome). 17 Instead when he arrived in Rome he searched earnestly for me, and found me. 18 May the Lord grant him to find special kindness from the Lord on that day! And you well know all the service he rendered at Ephesus.
