 • Colossians 1:16-20  John 7:2-9

            ☀️ Colossians 1:16-20

(15 - He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.) 16 - For in him all in heaven and upon earth were created. The visible and the invisible, seats and dominions [arché - beginnings, origins, principalities] and jurisdictions [exousia - powers, rights, jurisdictions]. All were created through him and for him. {Powers and principalities, boundaries.. all originally perfect and pristine, but not (yet) ‘programmed’, so to speak.. school of hard knocks is doing the job.}

     17 And he is before all, and in him all are held together. 18 He is the head of the body, the church (body of believers). And he is the beginning, and the firstborn from the dead, so that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him - all the fullness of God - was pleased to dwell, 20 and, through him “to reconcile to himself, the all, having made peace by the blood of the cross of him, whether the upon earth or the in the heavens”. [Verse 20 is a more or less word for word translation, according to language tools we now have at our fingertips.]

            🌙 John 7:2-9

2 - The annual Feast of Booths/Tents/Tabernacles was at hand {Rev.21:5, Lev.23:34-36}. 3 Jesus’ (natural) brothers (Mt.13:55) said to him, “Why don’t you go to Judea, so your disciples (from all over, gathered annually for the feast) may see the works you’re doing. 4 For if you want to be known, don’t do these things secretly, but openly, then you’ll show yourself to the world.” 5 For even his brothers didn’t really believe in him. {But both James and Jude have a letter in the New Testament. And James became one of the leaders of the Jerusalem believers.}

     6 But Jesus said, “My time hasn’t yet come, but your time is always here. 7 The world doesn’t hate you. It hates me because I testify of it, that its works are evil [ponéros - wicked, bad, malicious]. 8 You go to the feast. I’m not going, for my time has not yet fully come.” 9 After saying this, he remained in Galilee.

     {He was not yet going to - this - Tabernacles? For the time was not completed. It was not - his - Tabernacles, the compleTe fulfillment (Eph.1:10) was not yet. “Tabernacles” being the Fulfillment - Rev.21:5 - the ancient (Lev.23) Holy Days, Spring and Fall, being an outline of his first brief advent (Spring), and then his longer, stretched out, second advent (Fall holy days of Lev.23 as an outline), which concludes at/with the “last great ‘day’” an “8th ‘day’” when all imperfections of self as first and foremost will be fuLLy removed from humanity. Humanity’s circumcision of the heart completed upon the “8th day”.}
