• 2 Peter 2:8-17 Jn.18:3-14; Mt.26:47-57
☀️ A.M. 2 Peter 2:8-17
8 - For as a righteous one living day after day, in a fallen city, he (Lot) was tormented of soul over the lawless deeds he saw and heard. [Lawless - anomos, from nomos - law, and A - not] {Interestingly, when Jesus spoke of keeping us in God’s name/reputation/cause, the word is onoma. Inescapable law of life - God iS life. And he “is perfect”. Only he can make, and then keep us “perfect”.}
9 But the Lord knows how to deliver the devoted from temptation. [Peirasmos - temptation, trial, testing, From peirazo - a putting to proof (by experiment)] {😮 This whole letting things run course! ..Because an ant farm is no paradise. But imperfection is entropy (which “doesn’t quit”) so Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32, because “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10 …The root word of Logic, is Logos.}
And he’s able to keep the unrighteous unto ‘day’ of judgment and correction [kolazo - to chastise, correct, properly - curtail, punish]. {Punishment being the extreme of curtail/correct.} 10 Especially those walking in defiling [miasmos - contaminating, polluting, corrupting] passions, despising of authority. Bold and willful, they don’t tremble as they blaspheme.
11 But angels, though so much greater in standing, don’t pronounce a judgment against them before the LORD. 12 Yet they {teachers of error?} are like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, producing ruin, and bound to be taken as beasts in a trap, speak evil of things they don’t understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption {earthly}. 13 Suffering wrong as the wage {result} for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to be drunk in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while at the LORD’s table with you.
14 They have eyes full of adultery, and are insatiable. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in avarice. Children of a curse! 15 Forsaking the right way, they’ve gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the gain and advantage that comes from lawlessness, 16 but he was rebuked by a speechless donkey speaking with human voice to restrain the prophet's madness.
17 These are waterless springs. Mists driven by storm. For whom gloom of {inner} darkness is kept [téreó - kept, guarded, observed, watched over, reserved]. {A reservation.. meaning the fruit is inner darkness and gloom.}
🌙 P.M. Jn.18:3-14; Mt.26:47-57
Jn.18:3 - So Judas, with a band of soldiers, and officers from the leaders, the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with torches, lanterns and swords. {In lieu of pitchforks.} 4 Jesus, knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said, “Who do you seek?”
5 They answered, “Jesus of Nazareth.” And he said, “I am he.”
Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 So he asked them again, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” 8 Jesus answered, “I told you, I am he. So, if you seek me, let these go.” 9 This fulfilled the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have not lost one.”
10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, named Malchus, and cut off his right ear. 11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put away your sword. Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?” {The true Passover sacrifice, strong enough to appease eveRy conscience. Imperfection is an abyss of potential ..and is entropy/this slow gehenna that “does not quit”, thus the resurrection. And the remedy strong enough to appease eveRy conscience and convince every psyche, making way for reconciliation to Life/God.}
12 So the band of soldiers and their captain and officers of the leaders arrested Jesus, bound him, 13 led him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 It was Caiaphas who had advised the leaders that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people. {A prophecy but which he meant on behalf of theiR seats within the Roman Empire’s occupation.}
MATTHEW 26:47 - While Jesus was still speaking to the disciples, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders (leaders) of the people.
48 Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I kiss in greeting is the one. Seize him.” 49 And he came up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” [Teacher.] And kissed him. 50 Jesus said, “Friend, for what have you come?”
Then they laid hands on him and seized him. 51 And then, one of those who were with Jesus drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear! 52 But Jesus said, “Sheath your sword, for all who take the sword will - perish (earthly) - by the sword. (And Jesus healed the ear, Lk.22:51.) 53 Do you think I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that this must be so?” {Eyewitness accounts always differ, especially if some time has passed.}
55 Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out at this late hour, as against a robber, with swords and clubs? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you didn’t seize me. 56 But all this takes place fulfilling the Scriptures of the prophets.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
57 And those who had seized Jesus led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders (lawyers and leaders) had gathered.
