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.}

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.

 • 1 Peter 4:9-19  John 15:18-27 

            ☀️ A.M. 1 Peter 4:9-19

9 - Show hospitality to one another without grudging. 10 For as each has received a gift - use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace. 11 Whoever speaks, be as one who speaks the oracles of God. Whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God gives. This is in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion age to age. Amen.

     12 Beloved, don’t be surprised at the fieRy trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice, as you share Christ's sufferings, you also will rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14 If you’re insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, as a thief, or as an evildoer, or a meddler. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let them not be ashamed, but let them glorify God in the Lord’s name [onoma - name, character, fame, reputation, cause]. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God. And if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who don’t obey the gospel (good news) of God? {Not an ‘eternal’ outcome, but earthly, like the rest of ones life, it being cause and effect.} 18 And “If the righteous are saved [sózó - saved, rescued, delivered, healed, preserved] with difficulty, where will the ungodly and sinner appear?” {At DOA for the initially doa! 1Pet.4:6 “And to this end, indeed! That even to the dead, the good news is announced” ..during second half of the “8th day”/millennium, the GWT judgment/discernment/review/closure for all ‘Day’. But Rev.20 is told like describing only the crests of waves and not much of the in between.}

      19 Therefore let those who suffer according [kata - according to, down, throughout, by, against] God's will, entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while continuing to do good.

            🌙 P.M. John 15:18-27

18 - “If the world hates you, know it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would accept you as its own. But because you’re not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, the world does not accept you. 20 Remember how I said to you, ‘A servant isn’t greater than their master.’ If they persecuted me, they’ll persecute you. If they kept my word, they’ll keep yours.

     21 But all these things they’ll do to you on account of my name, because they don’t know he who sent me. 22 If I hadn’t come and spoken to them, they wouldn’t have been guilty, but now they have no cover.

     23 Whoever hates me hates my Father also.

  24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else has done, they would not be guilty, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 And the scripture written in The Law is fulfilled, ‘They hated me without a cause.’

     26 “But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit{/Presence of God} and Truth, which proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me. 27 And you disciples of mine will also bear witness [martureó - testify, give evidence, affirm what one has seen, heard, or experienced] because you have been with me from the beginning.” {Of his first so brief advent.}

 • Titus 3:1-7  Matthew 25:34-46

            ☀️ A.M. Titus 3:1-7

1 - Remind them (believers of Crete) to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. 3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures {and untruths} passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. {Harsh and ever progressing spirit of the world/adversary.}

     4 But when the goodness and the loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us. {Delivered us from all that.} Not because we were righteous. But according to - his - mercy, and {it’s carried out and progresses} by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit {Presence of God} 6 which he pours out upon us abundantly, through Jesus our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace, we might become heirs - according to the hope [elpis - trust, expectation] of enduring life.

            🌙 P.M. Matthew 25:34-46

34 - (Jesus continues) “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed - by my Father - inherit the kingdom prepared {ready} from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you fed me. I was thirsty and you refreshed me with drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. 36 I was unclothed and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited [episkeptomai - visited, looked after, cared for] me, I was in prison and you came to me.’

     37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and fed you, or thirsty and gave you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and make you welcome, or unclothed and we clothed you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit and care for you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least, you did it to me.’

     41 Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed [kataraomai - being cursed] into the aionion (pertaining to an age) fire prepared [hetoimazó - prepared, made ready] for the devil and his angels.” {The three mentions of “lake of fire” are at huge fiery events.} 42 “For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you didn’t welcome me, unclothed and you didn’t clothe me, sick and in prison and you didn’t visit me and care for me.’

     44 Then they’ll answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or unclothed or sick or in prison, and didn’t minister to you?’ 45 Then he’ll answer, ‘Truly, I tell you, as you didn’t do for one of the least of these, you didn’t do for me.’” {As we treat all others is how we treat him.}

     46 “And will go away these, into aionion/eonian correction, but the righteous into enduring life.” {Jn.5:28-29, Rev.20, but which chapter is told like describing the crests of waves and not much of the in between.}

 • 1 Timothy 4:9-16  Matthew 24:1-6

            ☀️ 1 Timothy 4:9-16

9 - The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, 10 that to this end we toil and strive, our expectation and trust being set upon the living God, who is Savior of all, especially [málista - from mala - very much – very much the case; particularly so; especially] of those who believe. 11 Instruct and teach this. [Instruct - paraggéllō - from para and aggelos - to declare, transmit a message].

     12 Let no one despise you (Timothy) because you’re young, but set an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity. 13 And until I come there, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation [paraklésis - comfort, encouragement, exhortation, consolation] {translators often chose the most severe possibility for a word, sometimes an extreme of, or a running with a word. Example “aion to aion” may imply forever, but surely, aion alone does not. And in the verse “these will go away to - eternal punishment” (mt.25:46) the phrase is aionion kolasis - correction, it iS from kalaphos - to buffet as fits. A forever ‘punishment’ doesn’t fit. And does a good parent ever merely punish? Or does a good, in this case 100% Good and Genius, parent correct?}

     14 Don’t neglect the gift you have, which was given by prophecy when the elders prayed for and laid hands on you. 15 Practice these things. Immerse yourself in them. {The “washing of the word”.. an ongoing mental, spiritual baptism!} So all may see your progress. 16 Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this! For by so doing you will keep safe both yourself and your hearers.

     {“Go away into correction” or be corrected now, and serve called reigning during long 2nd advent? Full scope version of His first so brief one, which last quarter of is GWT Judgment/discernment/review/closure for all ‘Day’. Which iS the “aionion kolasis” / eonian korrection / age of correction (aka, judgment). Jesus said, “All those in the tombs/graves will hear God’s voice and will come forth” (from the graves/tombs). “Some, the good having done, into the resurrection of life, and some” {not yet having done the good} “into the resurrection of judgment” - Jn.5:28-29 with Rev.20 which is portrayed like describing the crests of waves, and not much of the in between, and Leviticus 23:23-36, the ancient Fall holy days as prophecy and outline of the Lord’s second advent.}

            🌙 Matthew 24:1-6

1 - Jesus left the temple and was going away from it, when his disciples came up to him to point out the glory of the structures of the temple [hieron - refers to the entire temple complex]. 2 But he answered them, “You see all this? Truly - I tell you - there will not be left here, one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” {Dan.12:11, hello? mid Dan.9:27.}

     3 A little later, as he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came and said to him, “Tell us, when will this be? And what will be the sign of your coming and the consummation [sunteleia - completion, consummation, end] of the age?” {Sun-tel-eia contains “tel” usually translated end/the end, but it more closely means the “end-aim”. I read in a commentary, since tel is the beginning of the word telescope, it portrays perfectly how prophecy plays out. From ‘smaller’ scope to full scope at the end-aim. So the razing of Israel and the temple in 70 A.D./C.E. was an end/completion of an age, with the culmination of history as the full scope version.}

     4 Jesus answered, “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name saying I am Christ. And they will lead many astray. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be alarmed, for this has to happen. But the end is not yet.”

REVELATION - 20 11 - 21 3

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

BOOK OF REVELATION

11 - Then I saw a great white throne (GWT) and he who was seated upon it. And from his face the earth and heavens fled away, and no place was found for them.

     12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead [nekros - dead, deceased] were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.

     13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, death and hades [“place of the dead”] {the grave, state of being gone} [hades - not seen] gave up the dead which were in them and they were judged, each one, according to what they had done. {Same as we were and even now are? And.. “all the world’s a stage”.. (Shakespeare) - proving to one and all, and all together at once..}

     14 Then Death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. [2Pet.3:12-13 “..the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, the heavenly bodies melting.. (then) a new heavens and a new earth..”] This is the second death, the lake of fire.

     {The end of death and imperfection/“missing the mark” - One and done! 1Cor.15:24-26. First death is the one come about through, and “in Adam”.}

     15 And if [ei - whether, iF] anyone was found, whose name was not written in the book of life {by then} they were thrown [balló - thrown, cast, hurled, put, placed] into the lake of fire. 21:1 - And I saw - a new heavens, and a new earth - for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, [were “set on fire” and “dissolved”, the “heavenly bodies/planets and stars melting”] and the sea {separation upon earth} was no more. (Isaiah 11:7)

     2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, radiant as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will tabernacle/tent/dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.”

Next - 21:4-9
