06/27 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

7 - The thing is, land that has drank in the rain that falls upon it, and produces a crop useful to those for whom it’s cultivated, receives the blessing from God. 8 But if it bears thorns and thistles, it’s not useful for cultivation and is cursed, and its ‘end’ is to be burned. {See!? This is not an eternal fire! It - never - is. Worse case scenario would be a temporary ‘burning’ - but! Surely that can only be spiritual! Except in the case of fiery wars, fiery judgments. Cause and effect as judgment. Which is in line with the three mentions of lake of fire being at huge fiery events.. First one at armageddon battle. Which surely is not all that surprising. And this imperfection is entropy, which is surely a crucible!? ..We gather weeds to a bonfire. And we burn off a field and it grows back greener.}

     9 Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things, things that belong to the saving way! 10 For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you’ve shown for his name, in serving his people {feeding his sheep; wholesome nourishment; passing on the message} as you still do. 11 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance [plérophoria - full assurance, complete certainty, full conviction] of hope [elpis - expectation!] {certainty of expectation} until the ‘end’ [telos - the end aim]. (From commentary — like the old pirate’s tel-escope.. things progress - prophecy is fulfilled - in scopes, until reaching full scope, and end-aim.) {The advents? ‘Smaller’ pond ripple, to full pond ripple.}
