            ☀️ 1 Timothy 4:1-8

1 - Now the Spirit has clearly said in times to come some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to misleading spirits and the teachings of demons. 2 And through fraudulent liars whose consciences are seared, 3 who deny marriage and require laws about foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 for it is made holy - by the word of God and prayer.

     6 If you put these things before the brothers and sisters, Timothy, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed.

     7 Avoid silly myths. Rather pursue godliness, 8 for while bodily training is of some value, training in godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life {life as we presently know it} and for the coming life {life as it shall be}.

            🌙 Matthew 23:29-39

29 - “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees! Pretenders! For you build the tombs of the prophets and you decorate the monuments of the righteous, 30 saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have joined them in shedding the blood of the prophets!’

     31 Thus you witness against yourselves, that you’re sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. 33 You serpents! And brood of vipers! How will you flee the justice of gehenna?” {This slow gehenna crucible - entropy, “which does noT quit”.}

     34 “Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog and persecute from town to town.” {Like Saul/Paul did!!} 35 “So that on you may come all the righteous blood shed upon earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, who you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36 Truly, I tell you, all will come upon this generation {70 CE}.

     37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it!” {‘Micro’ example of the macro Truth. We aLL like sheep have gone astray”. And ’Micro’ fulfillment of prophecy, the effects of cause and effect, God’s wrath/from greek, orge/passion. As opposed to humanity as a mere ant farm?}

     “How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you - you will not see me again - untiL you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.’” {Cross references: Rev.7:9,4 and 12:17, chapter 12 as the middle of three tellings of the revelation vision, which rejoin at the sounding of the 7th trumpet.}
