☀️ A.M. 2 Peter 2:1-7
(The previous verse - 1:21 For no (true) prophecy ever came by the will of man, but they spoke from God, as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God}. 1 - But also false prophets arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly bring in ruinous teachings, even denying the one who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift wreckage.
2 And many will follow their example, and because of them the way of truth will be maligned. 3 And in their avarice [pleonexia - avarice, lust, aggression, desire for advantage {of whatever kind}] they will exploit you with false words. Their judgment is from long ago, and isn’t idle. Ruin does not slumber.
4 For if God didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them to chains of deepest darkness, locked into judgment being kept, 5 and if he wasn’t lenient with the ancient world {of cannibaalism?} but preserved Noah - a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly. {Imperfect is an abyss of potential, pre-flood was hands off. Now they await “resurrection” into GWT judgment ‘day’, the aionion kolasis/correction.} {“Noah, a preacher” is how Jesus “went via the Spirit to preach to those headed to destruction while the ark” was being built.. which took a hundred years, 2Pet.2:5 answers 1Pet.3:20.}
6 And the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, reduced to ashes of destruction, are an example of what is coming upon the ungodly world. {Is.24:20/Rev.10:4, noT everlasting flames. God “is perfect” Mt.5:48, so the end result (greek, the “end-aim”) of this unavoidable and sad contrast, can onLy be the best one possible.}
7 And if he rescued righteous Lot, who was greatly distressed by the wanton conduct of the wicked.. (to be continued.. just following the schedule.)
🌙 P.M. Matthew 26:30-46
30 - And when they had sung a hymn, they went out of the city to the mountainside of olives. 31 Then Jesus said, “You’ll all fall away this night. For it’s written, ‘I’ll strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ 32 But after I’m raised, I will go before you to Galilee.”
33 Peter said, “Though all fall away from you, I never will!” 34 Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you’ll deny me three times.”
35 Peter said, “Even if I must die with you, I’ll not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.
36 Then they went to the garden called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here, while I go a little way, to pray.” 37 And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee (John and James) he began to be troubled and sorrowful. 38 And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. {I feel like it’s killing me.} Remain here, and watch [grégoreó - watch, be vigilant, stay awake] with me.” 39 And going a little further, he fell upon his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me. But, not as I will. As you will.” {Something strong enough to appease eveRy conscience. After all, imperfection, besides being entropy/gehenna, is an abyss of potential. Already proven maNy times, by all ethnicities and groups. Or actually, by one race. The human race. Never fall for “divide, and…”}
40 And he went back to the three, and he found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “Could you not watch with me for an hour? 41 Watch and pray you don’t enter into temptation, for the spirit is willing, but human nature is weak.” {And easily misled, as well?}
42 Again, for a second time, he prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, let your will be done.” 43 And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44 So, leaving them again, he prayed a third time, saying the same words. 45 Then he came to the disciples and said, “You’ll have to sleep and take your rest later. See.. the hour is at hand. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.” [Sinners is hamartōlós - an adjective derived from hamartánō - to forfeit by missing the mark, properly, loss from falling short; and hamartía - missing the mark/target (translated sin). 46 “Rise, let us be going. My betrayer’s at hand.”
