☀️ A.M. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8
1 - Finally, then, brethren/brothers and sisters, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that even as you received from us how you ought to walk in a way that is pleasing to God - just as you are doing! And that you {and we, all} do so more and more.
2 For you know the instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 How this is the will of God, your sanctification [being progressively transformed by the Lord into His likeness and similarity of nature].
That you abstain from sexual immorality, 4 that each of you know how to control their own body in holiness and honor, 5 not in the passion [pathos - immoderate and disorderly passion, suffering] of lust [epithumia - desire, longing for what’s forbidden] like Gentiles (the nations) who don’t know God. {And actually can’t be expected to please God / make him happy, without God’s Spirit/Presence/Power. Western Civilization wAs built largely upon biblical principles, but now has “fallen away” because of the “strong delusion” of “man(kind) being seated in the temple as God”/highest power. This by the worLd’s “false prophet” Same ‘one’ who enabled Rev.13:13, but which was carried out by an oFFice. ..I could add the next bead in the truth necklace.. these fingers do like to go on and on..}
6 God’s morality insures no one transgresses and does wrong [pleonekteó - takes advantage of, overreaches, defrauds/seduces] in this manner, because the Lord is an avenger in all such matters, as we told you before and have solemnly warned. 7 For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness. 8 Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to us.
🌙 P.M. LUKE 13:18-30
18 - Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what should I compare it?
19 The kingdom is like a tiny mustard seed, which is planted in a garden. {Or a heart.} It grows and it becomes like a tree. So that even the birds of the air come, and to perch {and sing} in its branches.”
20 Again Jesus said to the people, “To what should I compare the kingdom of God? 21 It’s like leaven which a woman works into THREE measures of meal/flour {three loaves} until aLL, is leavened.” {Hello! 1Cor.15:22-28 =‘s THREE loaves, three harvests, barley, wheat, grape - Rev.21:5 - “Behold! {Look!} I make all new!” The Greek word “pas” = all. “Things” was inserted at translation. As also elsewhere.}
“The kingdom is like leaven which a woman works into THREE measures of meal until all is leavened.” (1Cor.15:22-28, compare the five “pas” in 27,28.. And originally, what does 27 repeat 3 times?)
22 Jesus continued on his way to Jerusalem, teaching through towns and villages as he went. 23 And as he went along, someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few being saved?”
And he answered, 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow door. {The narrow Way.} For many, I tell you, seek to enter, but they’re not able to. 25 And once the master of the house has shut the door, and you come along and stand outside and knock, saying, ‘Open to us,’ then he’ll answer you, ‘I don’t know where you come from.’ {I don’t know where you’re coming from? ..This is at his return. (Mt.25:1-13) The door that shuts, is the one to “the” millennium and long second advent (which consists of two millennium - Rev.20). The door is to serving called reigning, during it? Which is surely(?) a full scope version of his first so brief one? It’s noT - logically, nor biblically - a forever door, closed forever to Life!
26 Then you’ll say, ‘But we ate and drank in your presence. You taught in our streets!’ 27 But he’ll say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all workers (and supporters?) of unrighteousness [adikia - injustice, unrighteousness {And Gal.5:20? carnality of division, rivalry}].’
28 In that place (initiaLLy, away from him) {during GWT judgment ‘day’/aionion kolasis} you will see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves cast outside. {To the - inneR - outside of the Light darkness.} There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 29 But others will come from east, west, north and south. And they will recline at table in the kingdom of God. 30 But, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”
Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.
have a good day! ☀️🕊️

New info! I’ve thought a lot about Mt.13:33, key word 3! Matthew’s version of the “Three measures of meal” parable - “God’s kingdom is like leaven worked into 3 measures of meal / three loaves, until, aLL is leavened” - as with the harvest list of 1Cor.15:22-28’s THREE harvests!
1-“Jesus the Firstfruit” 2-“the wheat at his coming” aNd 3-then comes the ‘end’ (greek word “tel” the “end-aim”) when “all has been subdued under the Son” (actually when all - “pas” - hAve been subdued under him) and death, the last enmity has also been “annulled” - which of course, is also Rev.21:1-5 at the (fiery) ReGenesis, when God says “Behold! I make all (pas) new!”
The new (to me) info is in Gen.18:1-8, the three visitors to Abraham and Sarah, one of them was the Lord (Son of God). Sarah bakes three loaves for a meal for them. For the Lord..
THE offering to God.. three loaves, three harvests.. all humanity sealed.
