Hebrews 4:4-7  Matthew 1:18-25 and ACTS 3:1-26 separately

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 4:4-7

4 - For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day {and millennium} in this way, “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” 5 And again in this passage he said “They shall not enter my rest.” 6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience {not following the instructions} 7 again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” later, again saying, through David, in the words already quoted, “Today, if you hear his voice, don’t harden your heart.”

     {Don’t LET our heart be hardened. The face of the wolf (in sheep’s clothing no less!) is accusation. Of our self. Of others. Of that other group over there.. The us and them attitude. But especially the accusations about God. Remember his voice has to speak to all, not just the best among us. But also the worst. Surely pre-flood was hands off. And imperfection is an abyss oF potential.. Death to God isn’t what it is to us. Jesus said - “All those - in the tombs/graves - will hear God’s voice and will come forth.” From where? The graves/tombs. “Some into the resurrection of Life, and some in the aionion kolasis / eonian korrection / imo, age of correction. The rich man and Lazarus parable, and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22 portray initiaL, inneR conditions - of some - during that ‘day’/age, Jn.5:28-29 and Mt.25:46.}

           🌙 P.M. Matthew 1:18-25

18 - Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place like this. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19 And Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to separate from her quietly. 20 But as he considered it all, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins [hamartia - missing the mark] {God iS Life, and “is Perfect” Mt.5:48, so imperfrct is entropy, a slow gehenna that “doesn’t quit”.}

     22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord spoke long ago by the prophet, 23 “Behold, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” which means, God with us.

     24 When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the LORD instructed him and took her as his wife, 25 but knew her not, until she had given birth to a son, who he named Jesus.
