8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year, Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

            ☀️ A.M. Galatians 3:1-7

1 - Oh foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you!? [Baskainó - to slander, hence by extension, to fascinate, bewitch, and overpower, from baskanos - to cast an evil spell, wishing injury upon someone, to bewitch. In classical Greek, Aristotle used baskaínō for "bewitching through the use of an evil power." That is, putting someone under a spell so they no longer could think (act) according to reason ..is also associated with envy ..slander.] {Advertizing, kind of low key bedazzling? Propaganda, from low key to..? A seeking to bedazzle?} 

     You once understood! Everyone knows Jesus Christ was crucified. 2 Let me ask you this! Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law?

     Or was it by hearing, with faith? By hearing, and believing what you heard. 3 And now are you so foolish?! Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by your own human effort? {Pride?} 4 Did you suffer so many things in vain? If indeed it was in vain? 5 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, do so by works of the law? Or by hearing with faith? 6 Faith, like Abraham, who “believed God - and it was counted to him as righteousness”. {THiS is THE agreement God has with us, the “Abrahamic Covenant”. James 2:23 - “The Scripture was fulfilled which says, 'Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness.' And he was called the friend of God.”}

     7 We must understand this, those who believe and stay in the faith, are the sons and daughters of Abraham.

     {Because “the seed” (implanted) is Jesus. Gal.3:16 - “The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It doesn’t say - to seeds - meaning many, but to one, and that one is Christ” (who will “draw all” Jn.12:32). He is the onLy straight out from God one. Father and Son are so close (one) that both administer God’s Spirit/Presence, same as will saturate and “seal” all creation and humanity. The scripture refers to both the Father and the Son as being the alpha to omega.}

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 19:41-48

41 - As Jesus drew near and saw the city (Jerusalem) he wept over it, 42 and he said “If only you, even you, had known on this day! The things that make for peace! But now, they’re hidden from your eyes.

     43 The days will come, when enemies will set up a barricade around you, surrounding you, and hemming you in on every side. 44 And you’ll be torn down, level to the ground. You and your children within you. And in you {Jerusalem of the time, the city, not just the temple} not one stone in you, will be left oNe upon another” {here is the “70 weeks gap” -> Dn.12:11(12), with 1Cor.3:16, surely?} “because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.” {Prophecy is fulfilled usually(?) in at least two scopes? So 70 CE was the prophecy fulfilled as ‘smaller’ scope.. and will be fulfilled full scope at the culmination (end/greek word “tel” root of telescope, but means “end-aim” at the end-aim) of history. Fiery judgments/consequences/results, are earthly.}

     45 And he went into the temple and began to drive out those who were selling. 46 And he said, “It’s written! ‘My house is a house of prayer!’ But you’ve made it a den of thieves!” {The Earth too, free enterprise highjacked and is now a $ity which rode the beasts (of prophecy) to all seven hills/continents, but they turn on ‘her’ and will consume/deplete and destroy her, even with fire, Rev.17:12,16.}

     47 He taught daily in the temple, and (the leaders/authorities) chief priests, scribes and principal men of the people, were seeking to destroy him, 48 but they couldn’t find how to do it, for the people were seeking him out and listening to him every day.

           

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.

“The lion will eat straw.. and the 

bear will graze with the cow” Isaiah 11:7.

“HiS kingdom will never end” Lk.1:33

 Apocalypse logic & riddles, weekly study, verses paraphrased [ ] references { } thots

BOOK OF REVELATION

     9 - And the kings of earth, who were in bed with her and lived in luxury with her, will weep and mourn when they see the smoke of her burning. {$ity Babylon - who rode the beasts to all seven hills/continents.. Free enterprise highjacked. Rode (and traveled with) the beasts which will join but not really (Rev.13:1 w/ Dan.7:7,19, and Dan.2:36-45 shows us the metals are Rome and Greek, aka a western roots and foundation, many headed geopolitical beast/entity/institution. Within it, is ‘dove’ and vulture, Mt.24:28. The fallen as prey,  the west once called Christendom having fallen away into “lawlessness” and deterioration.}

     10 They will stand far off, watching from a distance in fear of her torment, and will say, “Alas! Alas! That great city {that ruled} that mighty city, Babylon! For in one hour your judgment has come.” 

     11 And the merchants of earth {also} will weep and mourn for her. For no one buys their cargoes anymore. 12 Products of gold and silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, silk and scarlet cloths, all fragrant woods, articles of ivory and fine wood, bronze, iron and marble. 13 And cinnamon, spice, incense, perfumes and ointments, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, slaves, and human souls [psuche - soul, life, self, inner being] {human beings}. 14 “And the ripe fruit of you and the delicacies for which you lusted/longed for have gone from you. All your sumptuous splendors are lost to you and will not be found in you again.”

     15 The merchants of these things, who grew wealthy from her (from the $ity, a modern day Baal?) will stand far off, in fear of her torment, loudly weeping and mourning, 16 “Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, and jewels, and with pearls! 17 For in a single hour all that wealth has been laid waste.”

     And all shipmasters and seafaring men/traders, sailors and all whose - trade is on the sea - stood far off, 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, “What city was like the great $ity?!” 19 And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out, “Alas, alas, for the great city - where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her costliness! For in one hour has she been laid waste.”

     20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment against her! {As you have done so shall it fall upon you.. reaping what you sow..}

     21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and will be found no more, 22 and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will no longer be heard in you, nor any craftsman of any craft will be found in you, nor sound of the mill, be heard in you. 23 The light of a lamp will not shine in you, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any more, for her merchants were the great ones of earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery [pharmakeia - sorcery, witchcraft, magic, enchantment, spells, deception, corruption, beguilement.. {power to influence}].

      24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of - all - who have been slain upon earth.” {Empire, personal or collective.}

REVELATION STUDY 18 9-24

     a paraphrased study

         ~~  18:9-24  ~~

A key to the revelation vision is 13:1 - does a literal beastly creature with seven heads rise out of the sea of humanity? I’m highly doubting it. But! Does it have a literal meaning? Or is it written for entertainment purposes only? Rev.1:3 - Blessed is the reading [anaginóskó - knowing certainly, knowing again, to read] and (blessed is) the hearing [akouó - to hear and listen, root of acoustic surely?] (to) the words [logos - reasoning expressed in words, from lego - speaking to a conclusion] the prophecy [prophéteia] and (the) keeping [téreó - watching over, guarding, observing, keeping intact] what is written [graphó] for the season [kairos - season, opportune time] is near [eggus - near in place or time]. — So, the opportune time is always near, and the images used are not always literal, but their meaning is. 

18:9 - And the KINGS of earth, who committed sexual immorality (were in bed with $ity Babylon) and lived in luxury with her, will weep and mourn when they see the smoke of her burning. 10 They will stand afar off, in fear of ‘her’ torment, saying, “Alas! You great city! Mighty city! Babylon! Woe! In a single hour your judgment has come!” 11 And the MERCHANTS of the earth weep and lament, for no one buys their cargo anymore, 12 the cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple cloths, silk and scarlet cloths, all sorts of scented woods, all articles of ivory, of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, 13 cinnamon, spices, incense, myrrh, frankincense, oil, wine, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and the bodies and souls [psuché - breath, souls] (lives? of) man/anthropos/persons. 14 “The delicacies [opóra - late summer, ripe fruit] for which your soul longed has gone from you, and all your luxuries and your splendors are lost to you, not to be found again.” 15 The merchants of these wares, who profited from her, will stand afar off, in fear of her torment, weeping and lamenting aloud, 16 “Woe, woe, for the Great City that was clothed in the finest linen. In purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold. And with precious stones, and pearls! 17 But in a single hour, all this wealth, has been laid waste” (Rev.17:12,16,18). And all pilots, all sailors, all voyaging/traveling, and all who trade, stood afar off 18 and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, “Oh what city was like this great city!?” 19 And they threw dust and ashes on their heads as they wept and lamented, “Woe! woe! The great city! In which were made rich through her costliness, all those having ships to sea.” (When the vision was given, big business was done by sea). “For, in one hour, has come the desolation.” (Rev.17:12,16). 20 Be of good cheer over her, O heaven, saints, apostles and prophets, for God has decided judgment for you against [ek or ex - from, from out of, from the interior outward] (of) her.” 21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great miller’s stone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will you Babylon the great city be thrown down! With [horméma - a rush, impulse, violence]. And you will be found no more. 22 The sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will not be heard in you any more. Not a craftsman of any sort will be found in you any more, nor the sound of the mill/factory/industry. 23 The light of a lamp will not shine in you any more, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth. And by your sorcery [pharmakeia - the use of medicine, drugs or spells, sorcery, enchantment, magic; from pharmakeuó - to administer drugs, drug related sorcery, magical arts (by which)] all nations were deceived. (Including by a false prophecy, which is implied by there being a “false prophet”.)
