☀️ A.M. James 4:7-11
{James. natural birth brother of Jesus, pulls no punches. ..Instead of Galatians 5:20, rivalry, self interest and promotion, etc} 7 - Submit yourselves to God! Resist the devil! {And the devilish.} And he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God. And he will draw near to you.
Clean up your lives, you sinners! [Harmatoi - we missing the mark.] Purify your hearts, you people who can't make up your mind! 9 Grieve, mourn, and weep! Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom! {Heartfelt remorse for any evils done and even flaws. This is not the world’s racial shaming for political advantage. Or passing judgment on our fellows. It’s self judgment. The contrast (imperfection/straying, the comparison to GOD’s kingdom/perfection) matters, boTh collective, aNd, individual. Imperfect cannot work. God iS life and is perfect, 1Jn.5:20, Mt.5:48, and so, thus, this entropy, a slow gehenna from which “God is savior..” 1Tim.4:10.}
10 Humble yourselves before the LORD, and he will lift you up! [Hupsoó - to lift or raise up, uplift, lift on high, exalt] {especially during his long second advent?}
11 Don’t speak evil against one another, brethren/brothers and sisters! {Moderately left and moderately right, hell believers and hell not believers.. on and on?}
The one who speaks against a brother or sister or judges his brother or sister, speaks evil against the truth. And judges the truth. But if you judge the truth, you’re then not a doer of truth, but a judge.
12 There is one Lawgiver, who’s able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?
🌙 P.M. LUKE 11:29-36
(As some were accusing - saying he was casting out demons by the ruler of demons - others were asking him for a sign, and) 29 - As the crowd of people was increasing, Jesus said, “This generation is a troublesome generation. {“This generation” - also humanity as a whole?}
It seeks for a sign, but there will be no sign but the sign of Jonah. 30 Just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of man be to this generation. {To that generation, and ultimately to all humanity. “Wheel within wheel”, stretched from one another, is the shape of a trumpet. The pattern of all prophecy? Fulfilled in scopes, smaller to larger.. Smaller scope to full scope, including the Lord’s advents! To full scope, the end-aim, greek word “tel”. Root of telescope, usually translated ‘end’. Everything has an end-aim.}
31 The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment, with the men of this generation and give judgment against them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and look, something greater than Solomon is here!
32 The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and express judgment, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and look, something greater than Jonah is here!
33 “No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bowl, but they put it on a lampstand or table, so those who enter may see by its light.
34 Your eye is the lamp of your body, and if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye isn’t good, you’ll be full of darkness. 35 Therefore be careful, lest the light that’s in you is actually darkness, and not light. 36 And if you are full of light, having no darkness, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its - radiance - gives light.” {We’re not perfected until the “last day” at harpazo, Hebrews 11:40. But we (I) should be progressing in love for all.}
