☀️ Ephesians 2:17-3:7
17 And he (Jesus) came and preached peace. Peace to those far off and peace to those near. 18 And through Jesus we both (Jew and Gentile) have access to the Father, in one spirit {of unity}.
19 And so now you are no longer strangers and aliens! But as believers, you are fellow citizens, and members of the household of God. 20 The household built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus himself as the chief stone.
21 And, in him, the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple. 22 And by the Spirit, is being built into a habitation for God. {For God’s Presence/Spirit, Rev.21:3. God is Life, and “is love” 1Jn.4:8, and is all affection that exists. And “is perfect” Mt.5:48. Why imperfect is entropy that “doesn’t quit”, thus the necessity to be “saved”/rescued/reconciled to God.}
3:1 - For this reason I, Paul, am a prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles. 2 If indeed you have heard of the service of God's grace, for you, that’s been entrusted to me. 3 How this mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I’ve written briefly. 4 By which reading you can understand this - mystery of Christ - which 5 for so long was not made known as it has now been revealed to his holy [hagios - set apart] apostles and prophets by the Spirit.
6 This mystery is that the Gentiles (the nations) are joint heirs, joint members of the same body, and joint sharers of the same promise in Christ Jesus, through the gospel [euaggelion - good news]. {And not Israel only. Through the good news gospel. Hearing it. Believing it. Resting in and receiving it.}
7 Of this gospel I was made a servant/minister according to the gift of God’s grace, which was given to me by the working of his power.
{Prophecy is fulfilled in widening scopes, to full scope at the “end-aim” - greek tel (root of telescope) usually translated merely “the end”. Like a telescope extending in scopes, until full scope. Prophecy, including the advents, and the gospel from to Israel only, to also the nations and both being “the wheat at Jesus’ coming” (part of humanity) then to full scope during GWT judgement/discernment/REVIEW/closure for all ‘Day’.. the rest -> 1Cor.15:22-28, and be sure to replace “every or all things” with just “ALL” - Greek “pas” - “every, all, the whole”.}
🌙 John 10:22-32
22 - It was now the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. [Feast of (re)Dedication - after pulling down the altar of burnt-offerings, which had been profaned by Antiochus Epiphanies - 1 Maccabees 4:59 - “Judas (Maccabee) and his brothers, with the whole congregation of Israel, ordained, that the days of the dedication of the altar should be kept in their season, from year to year by the space of eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, with mirth and gladness.”]
It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple (complex), under the porch of Solomon. 24 And the leaders gathered and surrounding him, questioned him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly!”
25 Jesus answered them, “I’ve told you. And you don’t believe. The works I do, in my Father's name, testify of me. 26 But you don’t believe because you’re not from among my sheep. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them enduring life, and they won’t perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all (pas) and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. {“Greater than all” 🤔”all things” won’t work well here, lol.}
30 I and the Father are one.” {He prayed believers would be one like he and his Father are one” Jn.17:11.}
31 They then picked up stones again to stone him. 32 And Jesus said, “I have shown you many good works from the Father, for which one are you going to stone me?” {“And he healed them all” - too many verses to list. Newsflash⚡️Jesus’ long second advent will be a full scope version of his first so brief one.
Father and Son are so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence.. (Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost, Shekinah Glory, Rev.21:3). THE radiance of all Life. Health and wholeness. Last days choice, love, or rage/hate. Rev.14.}
