Hebrews 11:17-21 Luke 7:11-23 and ACTS 6:1-15 separately

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 11:17-21

17 - By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son! 18 Of whom it was said, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 19 He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, so to speak, he did receive him back.

     20 By faith Isaac proclaimed future blessings upon Jacob and Esau. 21 And by faith Jacob (later named Israel) when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head of his staff.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 7:11-23

11 - A little later Jesus was going to a town called Nain. His disciples and a great crowd were with him, 12 and as they drew near to the gate of the town, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow.

     A considerable number of people from the town were with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, he felt very sad for her, and said to her, “Don’t weep.”

     14 Then he came up and touched the bier, as the bearers stopped and stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, rise.”

     15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus returned him to his mother. 16 Great amazement seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen among us!” and “God has visited his people!”

     17 This report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country, 18 and the disciples of John reported all these things to John. And he, 19 calling two of his disciples, sent them to the Lord, to ask, “Are you the one who is to come? Or shall we look for another?” 20 And so the men went to him, and said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?’”

     21 In that same hour he healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and many who were blind he gave sight to. 22 And so he answered the disciples of John, “Go and tell John what you’ve seen and heard - the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up. The poor have good news preached to them. 23 And blessed are those not scandalized [skandalizó - offended]  by me.”

🗝️s New Testament & Bible prophecy study, verses paraphrased [ ] references { } thots

 • Romans 9:9-18  Matthew 13:1-17 and ACTS 16:20-40 separately

           ☀️ Romans 9:9-18

9 - For this is what the promise to Abraham was: “About this time next year I will return, and Sarah shall have a son.” 10 And not only so, but when Rebekah had conceived children by our forefather Isaac, 11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good nor bad - in order that God's purpose of election {HiS choosing} might continue, not because of works {not because any are better or worse} but because of he who calls {assigns one of two roles} - 12 she was told, “The older (Esau) will serve the younger (Jacob).” 13 As it’s written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I loved less” [miseó - hate, detest, love less, esteem less]. {Logic - “God iS love” 1Jn.4:8.}

     {Romans 11:32 - “God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all.” But some are “firstfruits”. Why? Choices other than God’s are being let to run their course, which is both entropy and history to their full conclusion, both individual and collective. Rather than we being some sort of ant farm, it was engineered that all undertake this unavoidable journey through this all important contrast, all together at once, with some being corrected (kolasin) now who will serve called reigning during the Lord’s long second advent? Surely(?) a full scope version of his first so brief one. As it iS GOD who chooses WHEN one believes, is reconciled to Him, and goes through the process of correction to full discernment/judgment. Jn.5:28-29 - Jesus said “an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs [mnémeion - grave, sepulchre, tomb, place of interment] will hear his voice and will come forth, those causing good to the resurrection of life and those practicing evil to the resurrection of judgment/discernment/review/closure for all, the “aionion-kolasis” / eonian-korrection / age of correction, Mt.5:48.}

    14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! 15 For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” {Like assigning roles.. “all the world’s a stage” - Shakespeare. “And the ancient of days took his seat..” Dan.7:9.}

     16 So then - it depends not upon human will, or exertion and effort, but depends upon God. And his mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power, and that my name [onoma - name, character, fame, reputation, cause] might be made known in all the earth.” 18 So then he has mercy on whom he wills, and hardens {or keeps hard} whomever he wills. [Hard - sklērýnō – hardened, inflexible, literally - dried out.] {To be “called, etc” during this lifetime is a lucky shake of the heavenly dice?}

            🌙 Matthew 13:1-17

1 - A while later that same day, Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. 2 A great crowd gathered around him, so many that he got into a boat and sat down, and while the crowd stood on the beach, 3 he told them many things in parables, saying, “A sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate up the seed. 5 Other seed fell on rocky ground and sprang up quickly, but because there was no depth of soil, 6 when the sun rose high, they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns {of life} grew up and choked them off. 8 But some seed fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirtyfold. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

     10 Then the disciples came, and they asked him, “Why do you talk to the people in parables?” 11 And he answered, “To you it’s been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it hasn’t been given. 12 And to the one who has, more will be given, and they’ll have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what they have will be lost. 13 This is why I speak in parables, because seeing no one sees, and hearing no one hears, nor understands”. {Mortal person cannot understand until God calls.. and “the seed” Jesus is implanted in them, and God waters and nourishes it.} 14 “Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says, ‘You will indeed hear but not understand, and you will indeed see but not perceive. 15 For the heart has grown dull, and with ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’ [Isaiah 6:9-10]

     16 But - blessed - are your eyes, for they are seeing, and your ears, for they are hearing. 17 For truly, I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you now see, and didn’t see it, and to hear what you now hear, and didn’t hear it.”

10-13 - Galatians 4 21-31

scriptures paraphrased to post 

   🕊️a reading & study 🕊️

21 - Tell me (Paul wrote) - you who desire to be under the law, do you listen to the law? 22 For it’s written that Abraham had two sons. One by a slave woman, and one by a free woman. (On in years Sarah insisted, due to lack of faith.) 23 But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh/natural, while the son of the free woman was born through a promise. {Which started in Eden, which all peoples took memories, and a version of, from the dispersion from Babel Tower. And God had promised a son to Abraham, but they became elderly.} 24 Now this may be interpreted allegorically {though it’s still literal, js} these women are two covenants/contracts/agreements/treaties. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children in slavery {to the law, for they are imperfect and the ten laws especially, are society preservative} that covenant is Hagar, the slave woman. 25 And Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia (from where the laws were given to Moses who gave them to the tribes/nation) and is the present Jerusalem. For she is held in slavery with her children. {Held in bondage, a slave condition, because imperfect cannot ever make itself perfect.} 26 But the Jerusalem from above is free! And it is she who is our mother! 27 For it’s written, “Rejoice, O desolate one who has not borne any children, break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor! For the children of the barren one will be more than those of the other.” {“You all like children have gone astray”. Israel micro version, all humanity macro, Rev.7:4,9.}

     28 Now you, like Isaac, are children of the promise. 29 But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh/natural (Ishmael) persecuted the one who was born according to the Spirit. So also it is now. 30 But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the slave woman, meaning the covenant, and her offspring, for the son (covenant) of the slave woman shall not (cannot) inherit with the son (Jesus) of the free woman/covenant/treaty/AGREEMENT.” 31 So, we are not of the slave woman (treaty) but of the free woman (treaty)! {The agreement oF promise; a gift, “received by faith/believing and thus we follow. Our “communion” and filling “is with the Father and the Son” onLy straight out from God one - so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence. And “God is Love”. And “love works no ill” and -> “never fails” 1Cor.13. 1Jn.4:8.}

ACTS 7 1-16 O T Summary Part 1

    Book of the Acts of the First Believers

1 - Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are these charges true?” 2 Stephen said, “Brothers, and fathers, listen. The God of glory, long ago, appeared to our father Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Harran (in the northwest Mesopotamian region). 3 God told him ‘Leave your country and your people, and go to the land that I will show you.’

     4 So he left the land of the Chaldeans and he settled in Harran. And then, after the death of his father, God sent him to this land, where we are now. 5 He gave him no inheritance, not even enough land to set his foot on. But God promised him, he and his descendants after him, would possess this land. Even though at that time, Abraham had no child.

     6 And God also told him, ‘For four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country which isn’t their own. They will be enslaved and mistreated. (Israel ‘microcosm’ - world macro.) 7 But I will punish that nation. And afterward they will come out and will worship me⛲️here in this place.’” {From where, during the Lord’s long second advent,  the kingdom of God will spread and grow out from. And then, after “the regeneration” [palin/again-genesis] the River of Life will flow from the throne of God from there ..the lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear and cow will graze together, Isaiah 11:7.}

     8 “Then he gave Abraham the covenant/agreement/contract of promises of circumcision. And Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him “eight” days after his birth. Later Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.” [The fathers of the twelve tribes.]

     9 “Now, BECAUSE the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, THEY sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him, 10 rescued him from all his troubles, and gave him wisdom, because of which he became well thought of and under the goodwill of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Pharaoh even made him ruler over Egypt and of all his palace! 11 But then a famine struck all Egypt and Canaan, bringing great suffering, and our ancestors back in this land, couldn’t find food. 12 When Jacob heard there was grain in Egypt” (stored for Egypt, by Joseph, whom God had warned of the coming drought by a dream Joseph, through God’s Spirit, interpreted for Pharoah) “he sent for our forefathers, the brothers of Joseph, on their first visit to Egypt. 13 But it was on their second visit, that Joseph told them who he was. And Pharaoh learned it too. 14 After this, Joseph sent for his father Jacob and the whole family, seventy-five in all. 15 So Jacob went down to Egypt, and that’s where he and our ancestors died. 16 Their bodies were later brought back to the land, to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought with silver, from the sons of Hamor at Shechem.” (They died and slept.. redeemed with silver, so to speak, thirty pieces..)

Today’s GospeL Verses ~ Luke 20:1-13

1 - As Jesus was teaching the people in the temple and proclaiming the good news [euaggelízō - from eú - good, well, and angellō - announce, herald(ing) the good message] the chief priests, scribes and some elders (leaders, authorities) came up 2 and said to him, “Tell us by what authority are you doing these things, or who it is that gave you this authority!” (To teach, and turn over the seller’s tables.) 3 He answered them, “I’ll ask you a question. Tell me, 4 was the baptism of John from heaven or from man?” 5 So they discussed it with one another, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he’ll say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’ 6 But if we say, ‘From man,’ the people will stone us, for they are convinced John was a prophet.” 7 So they answered that they didn’t know where it came from. 8 And Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

     9 And he began to tell the people a parable, “A man planted a vineyard and he let it out to tenants and then he went into another country for quite a while.10 When harvest came, he sent a servant (worker) to the tenants, so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 And he sent another, but they also beat and treated him shamefully, and also sent him away empty-handed. 12 And he sent yet a third. This one also they beat and cast out. 13 Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son, perhaps they will respect him.’”

                ~ Galatians 4:21-31 ~

21 - Tell me (Paul) - you who desire to be under the law, do you listen to the law? 22 For it’s written Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman. (On in years Sarah insisted, due to lack of faith.) 23 But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh/natural, while the son of the free woman was born through a promise. (Which started in Eden, which all peoples took memories, and a version of, from the dispersion from First Tower/Babel Tower. And God promised a son to Abraham, but now they were elderly.) 24 Now this may be interpreted allegorically (though it is still literal) these women are two covenants/contracts/agreements/treaties. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children in slavery, she is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia (from where the society preservative laws were given) and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. (Held in bondage, a slave condition, because imperfect cannot ever make itself perfect.) 26 But the Jerusalem above is free! And it is she who is our mother! 27 For it’s written, “Rejoice, O barren one who has not borne, break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than those of the other.”

     28 Now you, like Isaac, are children of the promise. 29 But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh/natural persecuted the one who was born according to the Spirit. So also it is now. 30 But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the slave woman/covenant and her offspring, for the son (covenant) of the slave woman shall not (cannot) inherit with the son (Jesus) of the free woman.” 31 So, we are not of the slave woman (covenant) but of the free woman! (Covenant oF promise; a gift, “received by faith/believing and thus following. Our “communion” and filling “is with the Father and the Son - so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence. And “God is Love”. And “love works no ill” and also, “never fails” 1Cor.13. 1Jn.4:8.)
