☀️ Ephesians 3:8-21
8 - To me (Paul) though I’m the very least of all the saints (believers, called out ones) this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles (the nations) the unsearchable riches of Christ! 9 In order to enlighten all about the plan, the program, the mystery hidden for ages. Hidden in God, who created all.
10 And so that through the church {the true faith, genuine “way” of Jesus} the diverse wisdom of God might be clearly made known to the principalities [arché] and powers in the heavenly realms, 11 according to his eternal purpose which he brought about in Christ Jesus our Lord. {“At the fullness of time, all in Christ” Ephesians 1:10. Though all/pas was changed to all things, three times in this one verse alone.}
12 In Him (Jesus) we have boldness and access - with confidence - through our faith in him.
13 So I ask you not to lose heart over what I’m suffering for you, which is for your glory {and benefit}. 14 And for this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family of heaven, and on earth, is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory, he may grant you to be strengthened - with power through his Spirit in your inner being - 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have the strength to comprehend with all believers what is the breadth, length, height and depth of 19 the love {revealed} in Christ that surpasses all knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God. {I’m convinced what needed to be “appeased” is not an ‘angry god’ but the human conscience. After all, imperfection is an abyss of potential. And - eveRy - conscience needs to be appeased.}
20 Now to he who is able to do far more than all we ask or think, according to his power at work in us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. {Big revival is prophecied as man’s world approaches its climax. That and a lot of “lawlessness” and “delusion”/enchantment. After all the still tares will gather to that last battle, against, you guessed it, Israel. Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4.}
🌙 John 10:33-42
33 - They {leaders of Israel, albeit during occupation by Rome, actually more political than spiritual/religious.. executed Christ due to concerns over their seats of power not only over Israel, but with Rome. It’s also why “tax collectors” were looked down on, because, though Hebrew/of Israel during occupation, they collected taxes for Rome.}
(The leaders) answered Jesus, “It’s not for a good work that we’re going to stone you! But for blasphemy! For you, being a man, make yourself out to be God!”
34 Then Jesus asked them, “Isn’t it written in your Law, ‘I said, ye are gods’? 35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God was given, and Scripture can’t be broken, 36 how do you say of he who the Fatherbb set apart and sent into the world, blasphemy, because I said, ‘I’m - the Son - of God’?”
{Set apart, called “first” and is the only straight out from God one, so close, Father and Son both administer God’s Spirit/Presence. Called First/proto, the prototype. God’s Spirit/Presence will saturate and “seal” all creation and humanity.}
37 “If I’m not doing the works of my Father, then don’t believe me. 38 But if I do them, even if you don’t believe me, believe the works, so you may know and understand the Father is in me, and I in the Father.” 39 Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their grasp.
40 He went then, again, across River Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and there he stayed for a while. 41 And many came to him, and were saying to one another, “John did no sign, but everything he said about this man has been true.” 42 And many in that region were believing.
