• Philippians 1:1-8 Luke 18:1-8
☀️ Philippians 1:1-8
1 - Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,
To all the saints in Jesus, who are at Philippi, with the overseers [episkopos - from epi - over, and skopos - watcher or guardian] and deacons [diákonos - from diá - thoroughly, and konis - dust, properly, “thoroughly raise up dust(!) by moving quickly about”]
2 Grace to you! And peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 I thank my God in all my remembering of you! 4 Always in every prayer I pray for you, It is with joy. 5 This is because of our partnership in the gospel from the first day we met until now. 6 And I’m sure of this, that he who has begun a good work in you {us} will bring it to completion, at the day of Jesus Christ. [Hebrews11:40.]
7 It is right for me to feel this way about you, because you’re in my heart, for you’re all partakers with me of this grace, both in my imprisonment and in this work of the defense and confirming of the gospel. 8 For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. {But if Paul had not been in jail, would we have these letters of his?}
🌙 Luke 18:1-8
1 - Jesus told a parable to the effect that we ought always to pray and not lose heart, 2 “In a certain city” he said, “there was a judge who neither feared God nor man. 3 And in that same city was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary!’
4 For a while he refused, but after a while, he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor man, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I’ll give her justice, so she’ll quit bothering me!’
6 Do you hear what the unrighteous judge says? 7 Will God not give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he forever delay?” {Yet had he intervened and quit letting things run course, say in 1900, where would you and I be? ..Letting things run course because an ant farm is no paradise. Besides truth and reality is all that shall remain standing, and being 100% unfettered Genius, he is “savior of all” 1Tim.4:10. So he has mothing to lose. And just - how - do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? The dis-ease as part of the cure? Total Ant Farm versus Total ‘Herd’ Immunity?}
8 “I tell you, he will give justice to them quickly” [tachu, same word transleted in Rev.22:7 as soon - behold I come quickly, to behold I am coming soon. To be fair both interpretations are possible. Makes us rely on the Spirit to guide?}
“Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith upon earth?” {Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4. Mt.13:30 as Rev.16:14-15-16 and, oR Mt.25:1-13 to serving called reigning during long 2nd advent, full scope version of his 1st so brief one?}
