     05/08 - GospeL Verses 

37 - And though he had done so many signs before the people, they still didn’t believe, 38 so the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled - “Lord, who has believed his report? And to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed?” 39 Therefore they couldn’t believe. For Isaiah had said (prophesied), 40 “HE has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.” 41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him.

     42 Nevertheless, many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they didn’t admit it, fearing they would be put out of {polite society} the synagogue, 43 for they esteemed the glory {and opinion} of man {and society of the day} more than the {opinion of and} glory that comes from God.

     44 So Jesus had cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me! Believes not in me but in he who sent me.” {The Son being the only straight out from God one, so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence, same as will saturate thus “seal” humanity and creation.} 45 “And whoever sees me, sees he who sent me. 46 I came into the world as light - so that whoever believes in me will not have to remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and doesn’t keep them, I don’t judge them. For I didn’t come to judge the world, but to save the world.

     48 Whoever rejects me, and doesn’t receive my words has a judge. The word [truth, logos - “reasoning”/logic] that I have spoken will judge them in the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment - what to say and speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is enduring [aionion] Life. What I say, therefore, is what the Father has told me to say.

      (“In the last day” - IN, is en, a preposition – meaning, properly - in, inside of, within, figuratively - in the realm/sphere of. Translated - “during” - seven times. During the last day, the “8th ‘day’” which follows the millennial Sabbath rest from enmity and the adversary.. Main outline, the week plus one.. the biG bang into the universe that is, theN was set in motion.. no option to stray in Eden would be humanity as an ant farm, so things run their course for six millennial days, then a Sabbath millennium,  followed by an “8th day” - for the fieRy defeat of the adversary and then the GWT judgment (the total discernment plus full closure for all) ‘day’ — veiled by Rev.20 being as though describing the crests of waves and not much of the in between. ..Father loves a good riddle? An outline within the first outline of - the week plus one - is the holy days of Lev.23, Spring and Fall, prophesying 1st and 2nd advents.)
