8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

            ☀️ A.M. Galatians 4:8-20

8 - Before, when you didn’t know God, you were in bondage to and submitted to those who by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather - to be known by Him - how can you turn back and be slaves once again to weak, elementary principles of the world, that don’t work? 10 You (consider as demanded/required/mandatory to) observe days and months, seasons and years! 11 I’m afraid I may have labored over you in vain! 12 So I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you (gentiles) are! {In this matter.}

     You did me no wrong. 13 As you know, at first, it was in weakness, that I proclaimed the good news to you. 14 And though my {health} condition {of his eyes} was a trial to you, you didn’t scorn or despise me, but you received me as though I was a messenger of God, or even as Christ Jesus himself!

     15 What then! Has become of your blessedness? For I testify that, if possible, you would have gouged out your own eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?

     17 They flatter and make a big deal of you. But that’s for no good purpose. They want to shut you out. So you will make a big deal of {and will follow} them.

     18 It is always good to be zealous for a good purpose! And not only when I’m with you. 19 My dear children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you! 20 I wish I could be present with you now and change my tone, but I am perplexed about you!

     {Paul was a discipler.}

            🌙 P.M. MARK 12:12-27

12 - And they (leaders, authorities) were seeking to arrest him. But they feared the people, and they knew he had told the parable against them, so they left. 13 But then they sent some Pharisees and Herodians to try to trap him in his words.

     14 They came and said to him, “Teacher, we know you are true and don’t care about other’s status. For you’re not swayed by appearances, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar? Should we pay them? Or should we not pay them?”

     15 But, knowing their hypocrisy {and it was a death sentence to deny Caesar) Jesus said to them, “Why put me to the test? Bring me a coin and we’ll look at it.”

     16 So they brought a coin, and he asked them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said, “Caesar's.”

     17 So he said, “Render to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.” And they marveled at his answer.

     18 Then some Sadducees came, who say there’s no resurrection. And they asked him, 19 “Teacher, Moses wrote that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man should marry the widow and raise up a son for his brother. 20 There were seven brothers and the first took a wife, and when he died left no child. 21 And the second wed her, and died, also leaving no child. And the third likewise. 22 And also with all seven, and left no child. Last of all the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For the seven wed her.”

     24 Jesus said to them, “Is it not true, that you are very wrong? Because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither wed nor are - given - in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven.

     26 And as for the dead, the deceased being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I’m the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 He’s not God of the dead, but of the living. You greatly err.” (Jesus said “All those in the tombs/graves” {not dungeons, lol} “will hear God’s voice, and will come forth. Some into the resurrection of life” {into THE millennium, to serve called reigning..? During long 2nd advent, surely(?) a full scope version of his 1st so brief one. After all, that’s the way of prophecy.

     “And some” he said, “will rise into the resurrection of judgment” (Jn.5:28-29). Surely that can be none other than “the” GWT Judgment (and surely?) discernment, review of history and closure for all ‘Day’ - which elsewhere He calls agelasting correction [“kolasin aionion” oR “korrection eonian”] age of correction! Mt.25:46, 3rd quarter of the Lord’s long second advent? See Rev.20, which is written like describing just the crests of waves, and then Leviticus 23. It’s veiled in a number of ways, how utterly PERFECTLY Jesus 1st advent fulfilled the Spring Holy Days (of Lev.23).

     So then what are we to think of the Fall Holy Days? (Lev.23 as well.) The names and the pattern. Too close to be meaningless. The Aionion Kolasis.. etc. The ancient holy days as type and shadow like so much else. And — of course — the completing of Jesus’ drawing of aLL, JN.12:32.

      It seems to me to trad lime an outline: The 3 Holy Days - #1-Trumpets (of Rev. & return) 1Odays/1OOOyrs later - onterlude, Satan released and he gathers to Armageddon2, and then his fieRy final defeat {he was adversary/accelerant} then — #2-Day of Atonement. And, 5days/5OOyrs later — #3-Tabernacles! “God will now tabernacle/tent/dwell with mankind, behold! I make all [pas - all, every, the whole] new!” Via the fiery regeneration (2nd vivification, 1st and 2nd making it “universal”. DOA for the initially doa..? Rich man and Lazarus parable, and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22, portray initiaL, inneR conditions of some during GWT aionion kolasis..

     The fieRy “palin/again-genesis” (Rev.21:1-5, 2Pet.3:12-13) is how death dies.}

           

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.

have a good day! ☀️🕊️

09-22 - 1 Thess 4 1-8 Lk 13 18-30

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ CU Studies Journal)

            ☀️ 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.”

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.

8Th ‘Day’ Study, verses R paraphrased [ref] {thots}

Hebrews 12:15-24  Mark 4:1-12

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 12:15-24

15 - See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God, so no sort of bitterness will spring up and cause trouble. For by it many can become corrupted. 16 No one should be sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal! 17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he couldn’t, for he found no chance to change the past, though he looked for it with tears. {“The” blessing had been given to another, couldn’t be now taken back.}

     18 But you {we, under the New Testament agreement/contract that is signed in blood - because it has to reach eveRy psyche} you haven’t come to a fiery mountain that can’t be touched for it’s thundering and burning, darkness and gloom, and stormy tempest! 19 With the sound of a trumpet and a voice and words that made the people tremble and ask that no more words be spoken to them. 20 For they couldn’t endure it, “If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.” {Thermonuclear type contagion?} 21 Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that even Moses said, “I am in terrible fear!”

     22 But you! You have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God. To the heavenly Jerusalem, and myriads of angels. 23 To the festal gathering and crowd of the firstborn being enrolled in heaven, and to God judge of all and all the  spirits of the righteous being perfected, 24 and to Jesus, mediator of the new covenant, and the sprinkled blood that speaks a better message than the blood of Abel. {Which that blood cried out to God.. Vengeance/cause and effect. The new - mercy. Apocalypse with Armageddon are mandone. We have his number.. made up of carbon which has six protons, six neutrons and six electrons.}

            🌙 P.M. Mark 4:1-12

1 - Jesus was teaching beside the sea and a very large crowd had gathered around him, so he got into a boat that was anchored there, and he sat down, and the crowd was on the shore. 2 And as usual he was teaching them using parables. 3 “Listen” he said, “a sower went out scattering seed. 4 And as he scattered, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate up the seeds. 5 Some other seed fell on rocky ground, where there wasn’t much soil, and it quickly sprang up. 6 But when the sun rose, it dried up and withered away, because it had no roots. 7 Still some other seed fell among thorns and thistles, which choked them out, and so there was no grain. 8 But some other seed fell into good soil. And it grew tall and produced grain, yielding thirtyfold, sixtyfold and even a hundredfold.” 9 And he said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear!”

    10 Later, when they were alone, those around him with the twelve asked him the meaning of the parable. 11 And he said, “To you it’s been given to understand the mystery of the kingdom of God, but for others it’s all in parable, 12 so that ‘seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing, they may hear, but not understand, lest ever  [pote - at what time, how long, when] they should turn and be forgiven.’” - [Turn - epistrephó - turn, return, from epi - on, upon, and strephó - to turn, to change; come to myself.] {Verse “lest hearing they hear, or seeing they see” quote is Isaiah 6:9 - and a cross reference to it is -  “BRING OUT a people who have eyes but are blind, and who have ears, but are deaf” Isaiah 43:8.

     That’s all of us, and considering logic, which root word of, is logos, this continues during “the Last Great Day” extending full scope, which is the way of prophecy, including the advents, 1Tim.4:10, Jn.12:32 & 37.

     ..An “8th ‘day’” a “last great day”/millennium, otherwise when does all of Rev.20 occur? Note: Rev.22 has narrative in it that is spoken outside of the vision.. Shakespeare said “all of life is a stage”. Dan.7:9, “and the Ancient of Days took his seat..” Also later at GWT ‘day’ of Judgment/Discernment/Closure - “BRING OUT a people who have eyes but are blind, and who have ears but are deaf” Isaiah 43:8.}

07-27 - From Heb-12 Lk-8

8Th ‘Day’ Study, verses R paraphrased [ref] {thots}

Hebrews 12:1-2  Luke 8:1-8

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 12:1-2

1 - Therefore, having a cloud of witnesses encompassing us {“literally or figuratively” ..I think referring to GWT ‘day’ of judgment/history-review/discernment - since the previous verse (11:40) refers to a ‘crowd’ “not perfected without us” referring of course, to Jesus’ return when followers “put on perfection” which is the beginning of his two millennium long second advent, Rev.20} let us therefor throw off everything that hinders! And the sin [missing the mark, greek word hamartia] that so easily entangles.

     Let us run with patience and steadfastness, the race that is marked out for us, 2 keeping our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer, and the perfecter of our faith. He, for the joy set before him, endured the cross, scorning its shame. And then he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 8:1-8

1 - Jesus was traveling from town to town and from village to village proclaiming the - good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, including Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out. (This gospel, written by Luke the doctor.) 3 Also there was Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household, Susanna, and many others. These women helped to support Jesus and his disciples out of their own household.

     4 When a large crowd had gathered - for people were coming out to Jesus, from the towns and villages - he told them a parable.

     5 “A farmer went out sowing his seed. And as he was scattering the seed, some of it fell along the path and it was trampled on, and the birds came and ate it up.

     6 Some fell on dry rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered away because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorn bushes and grew up for a while among them, but were choked off by the thorn bushes.

     8 But still other seed fell upon good soil, and it came up, grew, and yielded a crop. A hundred times more than was planted.” And when he had said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.” 🌽

06-02 - From 2Tim-4 Jn-19

N.Testament & Prophecy Advanced CU Study, verses paraphrased  [ ] references { } thots

 2 Timothy 4:1-8  John 19:28-42

            ☀️ A.M. 2 Timothy 4:1-8

1 - So I solemnly charge — before God and Christ, who will judge [krínō – properly, to separate] the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom — proclaim the message! 2 Be ready in season! And out of season! {Good day or bad day!} Correct, admonish, and convince, with complete patience and teaching [didaché - teaching, doctrine, instruction]. {Redirect with kindness and patience. “Lovest thou me? Feed my sheep.”}

     3 For the time is coming when people won’t endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they’ll gather to themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and they’ll turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into fables.

     5 But as for you, be sober-minded, endure the suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your charge. 6 As for me, I’m being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is near. 7 I’ve fought the good fight, I’ve finished the race, I’ve kept the faith. 8 From now on there’s laid up for me the crown of righteousness [dikaiksuné - righteousness, justice]. {The crown of Life? Not metal.} which the Lord, the just and righteous judge, will award to me on that day and not only to me, but also to all loving his appearing. {I.e. “On that day” is the day of “his appearing”.}

            🌙 P.M. John 19:28-42

28 - At the last, Jesus, knowing all was then finished, fulfilling the Scripture, said “I thirst.” 29 A jar full of sour wine was there, so they soaked a sponge in it and held it up to him on a hyssop branch. 30 When Jesus tasted the wine, he said, “It’s finished”. And he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit. [Finished - teleó - completed, finished, fulfilled, accomplished; from télos - consummation, end-goal, purpose, such as closure with all its results; root tel - reaching the end(aim), well-illustrated by the old pirate's telescope, unfolding in widening scopes until teaching full scope.] {The nature of prophecy, including the Lord’s two advents, excluding of course the crucifixion, that being “finished”.}

     31 Since it was the day of Preparation (of prepping for the Passover feast coming after sunset) so the bodies wouldn’t remain upon the cross on the Sabbath - for that Sabbath (beginning at sunset, not midnight) - was a high Sabbath.  (Jesus died on Passover, was in the grave at 1st U.B. Day, and rose on Firstfruits, fulfilling the Spring holy days like prophecy. And more “perfectly” than seen at first glance.)

     So the Hebrew leaders asked Pilate if their legs might be broken that they might die quickly and be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs. 34 Yet one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. 35 He who saw it (John) has borne witness - his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth - so you also may believe. 36 For all these things took place, fulfilling the Scripture, “Not one of his bones will be broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, “They will look upon he whom they have pierced.” {On GWT Judgment/discernment/full-world-history-review/& closure for all ‘Day’?}

     38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the leaders, asked Pilate if he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he and Nocodemus came and took away his body. 39 This is the Nicodemus who earlier had come to Jesus by night (Jn.3:1-21). They came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes. 40 They took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

     41 Nearby the place where he was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So because it was a Jewish day of Preparation (leading to a Sabbath/day of no work, beginning right then as the sun was setting) since the tomb was close at hand, they laid him there.
