10-21 - MARK 13 1-8

scriptures paraphrased to post 

  🕊️a reading & study 🕊️

1 - As he was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said, “Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones - and - what wonderful buildings!” 2 And Jesus said, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left, here - not even one - stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” {69/70 CE razing of Jerusalem, and? Daniel 12:11 mid 7 year treaty, then next verse, Dn.12:12 as trib duration? With the last “ten days” (Rev.2:10) escalating to most perilous?}

     3 A little later, as he was across the Kidron Valley from the temple, on the Mount of Olives (an olive tree grove) Peter, Andrew, James, and John asked him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will that happen? And what will be the sign, when it’s about to happen?” 5 And Jesus told them, “See to it that no one leads you astray. 6 For many will come in my name saying I’m he and will lead many astray.” {A first line of attack against Christianity’s progress and well being, is translation errors of some words in the scripture, then bam! second line of attack, distrust of the scriptures, including our New Testament/Testimony. The world of course rejects the scripture, and slanders it. The Old Testament is trustworthy and good also. I think before the flood there was even cannibaalism (as I’ve come to think concerning the flood.). And the Canaanites, God also wanted out of the world, now they rest, awaiting resurrection during GWT judgment ‘day’ also called “aionion kolasin”/eonian korrection/age of correction. We know the Canaanites burned children alive to Baal, while beating drums to drown out the screams. These were during formative times. Self destruct inevitable? But SO early on? God also gets grief for noT stopping great evils. If Israel had not been warriors, surely they would have been chewed up and spit out? So much for being swaddling cloths for Messiah/Savior of the world? Had there been no option to stray in Eden, creation would be an ant farm. Trust God. Trust the Scriptures. I think translators coukdn’t fully believe, that’s how Good the message is. So aionion kolasin became neverending punishment/torment😳. Five words became hell. “All” became “all things” whenever it would work. In Rev.21:5, Eph.1:10.. and more. But not in “all scripture for training” because it won’t work. Or in 1Cor.15:28 “so that God will be all in all” - Greek word “pas” - “every, all, the whole”. )

     7 And when you hear of wars [polemos - wars, battles, conflicts {riots, etc?} quarrels, from pelomai - to bustle {poles?/division?}] and rumors of wars, don’t be disturbed. It must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation. And kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are but the beginning of birth pangs. {For birthing the Lord’s long second advent.. And then the full kingdom of God.}
