            ☀️ A.M. 2 Timothy 2:7-15

7 - Think over what I (Paul) am saying, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things. 8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead! The offspring of David, as told in the gospel [news] I proclaim, 9 and for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound! 10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect {elected/chosen during this brief lifetime for specific reason, and to keep the message alive and intact} that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with enduring glory. 11 The saying is trustworthy. For if we have died with him {the imperfect human nature.. the flaws .. an exchange!} we will also LIVE {the intended nature} with him 12 if we endure {this wicked, pushy, bullying world and any impediment} then we will also reign with him. {During long second advent? A full scope version of his so brief first one. Helping, called reigning..} But should we reject [arneomai - from rheō - speak, say, flow; and A - not] him, he also will not receive us, 13 {but!} if we are faithless, HE remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.

     {God “is Love” LIFE, and “is perfect” so it’s simply that imperfect is this slow gehenna crucible, entropy and life as we presently know it, an unavoidable yet all important contrast. Unavoidable because an ant farm is no paradise, so this ‘quick’ one&done, let the dis-ease run its course. Total ant farm versus total ‘herd’ immunity.}

     14 Remind them (Timothy) of these things (he, Paul, had taught them) and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to shrink back, righTly handling the word of truth.

            🌙 P.M. John 19:14-22

14 - Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover {meal. Which, strangely enough is not on Passover (Nisan 14) the days begin at sunset rather than midnight. The Passover meal is eaten after dark - like the day and events it commemorates. First Day of Unleavened Bread, a ‘Sabbath’ is on Nisan 15. Jesus dies on Passover - which is a “preparation day”. There being three of them during Spring Holy Week, as there are three Sabbaths/strict no work days, and Nisan 15 is one of them.

     The WeeK was fulfilled PERFECTLY by the Lord’s first {so brief} advent. He died on Passover, even at Passover hour. He was put into the grave as 1st Unleavened Bread day was beginning.. And he rose exactly three days later as the regular weekly Sabbath was ending or had just ended, and Firstfruits, the third holy day of the week, is beginning.

     Then seven weeks later, on Pentecost, which also always fell on a Sunday - now Sonday! - God’s Holy Spirit/Presence was poured out upon the believers/followers.

     Jesus, the Son, is the onLy straight out from God one, being so close to the Father, that both Father and Son administer God’s Spirit/Presence. Same Spirit that will saturate and “seal” all of creation (greek kosmos) and humanity. “The lion will eat straw like the ox and the bear will graze with the cow” Isaiah 11:7.}

     It was about the sixth hour, and Pilate said to the people, “Behold your King!” 15 They cried out, “Away with him! Crucify him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests, the leaders, answered “We have no king but Caesar!” 16 So he delivered him over to them to be crucified.

     And so they took him, 17 and he went out carrying his cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is Golgotha. (Hebrew being a dialect of Aramaic.) 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, with Jesus between them. 19 Pilate also wrote an inscription reading, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews” and he had it put on the cross. 20 Many read the inscription, for it was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, Latin, and Greek. 21 So the chief priests (leaders) said to Pilate, “Don’t write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but write, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, “What I’ve written, I’ve written.”
