 2 Timothy 2:16-21  Matthew 27:39-49

            ☀️ A.M. 2 Timothy 2:16-21

16 - Avoid worldly [bebélos - of babylon, babble, vain, trodden] empty babbling, for it only leads into more and more ungodliness.

     17 And their words will spread like gangrene. Among such are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18 who have veered away from the truth, speaking {and teaching} that the resurrection has already occurred. They are upsetting the faith of some.

    19 But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the LORD depart from iniquity.”

     20 Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable. {“All the world is a stage” ..Shakespeare.] 21 Therefore, if anyone cleanses their self from what is dishonorable, they will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, and ready for every good work.

            🌙 P.M. Matthew 27:39-49

39 - And those who passed by (Jesus upon the cross) hurled insults and mockery at him, wagging their heads, 40 and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days? Save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from there!”

     41 So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 42 “He saved others. But he can’t save himself. He’s the King of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we’ll believe in him. 43 He trusts in God, let God deliver him, if he wants to.. For he said, ‘I’m the Son of God!’”

     44 The robbers who were crucified with him also insulted him in the same way.

     45 Then, from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 46 And at about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

     47 And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, “This man is calling for Elijah.” 48 And one of them at once ran and taking a sponge, soaked it with sour wine, and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink. 49 But the others said, “Wait, let’s see if Elijah will come and save him.”

 • 2 Peter 1:9-21  John 17:12-18:2

            ☀️ A.M. 2 Peter 1:9-21

9 - For whoever lacks these qualities is nearsighted and blind, having forgotten that they were cleansed from the former things which dragged them down, captured them, and made them miserable.

     10 Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more determined and diligent to confirm (lock in) your calling and election. For if you reflect these qualities you’ll not fall away. 11 And there’ll be an open entry provided for you. An  {early} entrance into the enduring kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. {At his (full) return.}

     12 Therefore I plan to always remind you of all this, even though you know the truth and are established in it. 13 I think is right, to stir you to a permanent remembrance of these things, as long as I am in this body. [When we rise to meet him, we rise in a new body] {likely with the same but higher/perfect dna?} 14 All the more, as I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, because our Lord Jesus has made clear to me. 15 So I make every effort, that after I’m absent, you may be able at any time to recall these things.

     16 For it wasn‘t cleverly devised myths we were following, when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. For we were eyewitnesses of his majesty! 17 He received honor and glory from God the Father.

     And we heard the voice that was borne to him by the kingly glory when it said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” 18 We heard this voice coming from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain.

     19 And besides all that, we have the prophetic word fully confirmed (acted out before our eyes) to which we all do well to pay attention, as to a lamp giving its light in a dark place, until the day dawns! And the morning star rises in your hearts, 20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is for someone's own interpretation. {It’s not about moi! Nor “all about me.”} 21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but men spoke from God, as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God}.

            🌙 P.M. John 17:12-18:2

(Jesus praying aloud after supper on the evening of his arrest.) 12 - “While I was with them, I kept them in your name {in THE God Most High} [onoma - name, reputation, character, cause] which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost. Except the son of destruction [apóleia - destruction, ruin, loss, perdition] that the Scripture be completed. {A son/child of perdition .. “all the world’s a stage” Shakespeare.}

     13 “But now I’m coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, so my joy may be in them. 14 I’ve given them your word [logos - message, speech, word(s), account, reason, reasoning expressed by words; from lego - a word, an expression of a thought] and ‘the world has hated’ them because they’re not “of the world” just as I’m not of the world.

     15 I don’t ask that you take them out of the world. But that you keep them from the evil. 16 They’re not of the world, just as I’m not “of the world”. 17 Sanctify [hagiazó - sanctify, make holy, consecrate, purify, set apart] them in the Truth. Your word iS Truth.

     18 For as you sent me into the world, so am I sending them. 19 And for their sake I sanctify/dedicate myself, that they also may be sanctified in {and dedicated to} truth. 20 I don’t ask for these only, but also for all who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so the world may believe you have sent me. 

     22 The glory that you have given me I’ve given to them. This is so they may be one, even as we are one. 23 I in them, and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so the world may know that you sent me and love them even as you love me.

     24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you’ve given to me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

     25 O righteous Father, even though the world doesn’t know you, I know you, and these know that you sent me. 26 I made known to them your name [onoma - name, character, reputation, cause] and I will continue to make it known, so the love with which you have loved me may be in them. And I in them.”

     18:1 After this, Jesus went out with his disciples across Kidron brook, where there was a garden (grove of olive trees). 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often went there with his disciples.

scriptures paraphrased to post 

   🕊️a reading & study 🕊️

7 - So what is so wonderful about you? {Or any!} What do any of us have that we didn’t receive? And if we received it, why do we act as though we didn’t receive it? {There were still some miracles occurring, and any insights we receive, are just that, received.. A lucky shake of the heavenly dice. Every imperfect, able to think and reason being iS imperfect. And imperfect is an abyss of potential. How low can we go? I think given - enough time and circumstance - aLL can go wAy low. It only depends where Father God blocks with his hand. Teachers, believers ..a lucky shake of the dice. “All the world’s a stage” - Shakespeare. Different roles in this letting things run course. Other option? Ant Farm. ..Imagine ultimately, for cruel, heartless despots, dividers and spoilers, etc, etc, the truly gut wrenching remorse. (During and after their “reconciliation with God” Jn.12:32.) But now that we know we should choose wisely. Especially winding up these days (different from any other, with its modern capabilities). We are every day choosing Love/God, or choosing the world’s hate, division, slander, labeling, &tc. Mt.13:30.}

     8 Already, you, have attained all! You already have become the most richly blessed! Without us you have become kings! And would that you did reign, so we might share in the reigning with you! {They were as moving ahead to The Age, Mt.25:1-13. But as wheat still with its chaff, so impossible to serve called reigning during the Lord’s long second advent, full scope version of his so brief first one.. “Gather first the (still) tares to a (bon)fire. Then gather the wheat into my barn” Mt.23:30.}

     9 Sometimes I think God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like being sentenced to death, for we’ve become a mockery to the world, to angels, and to all mankind. 10 We are fools for Jesus’ sake, but you, you’re wise! {Seeking the world’s approval. But the world will turn upon any of us, lukewarm as well as enthusiastic.} We’re weak, but you’re strong! You’re held in honor, but we’re held in disrepute. {And despised?} 11 To this present time we hunger and thirst, we’re poorly dressed. We’re beat about and homeless. 12 And we labor, working with our own hands, for our own support.

     When insulted, we bless. When persecuted, we endure. {Imagine how all the more despised if haughty, rude or offensive! Bad enough the ancient, widely held strong delusion/enchantment spurned a modern, even stronger delusion/enchantment. Instead of a dark cloaked prophet a light cloaked ‘one’, Rev.12:15? The chapter a stand alone insert, middle telling of the vision out of three tellings.}

     13 When slandered, we encourage and comfort. Yet we’ve become {to the world} as garbage, the cast off of all things.

10-24 - MARK 13 9-13

scriptures paraphrased to post 

  🕊️a reading & study 🕊️

(Jesus continues.) 9 -  “Be on your guard. For there will be those who will deliver you over to courts and councils. You’ll be beaten and flogged, and you’ll stand before governors and kings because of me, and will bear witness to them.

     10 It’s necessary the gospel be first proclaimed to all nations. {Before the conclusion. Jerusalem razed in 70 CE was the end of an era. There have been many ends of kingdoms, etc. And of course(?) there shall be a world collective conclusion.. “All the world’s a stage” Shakespeare. “And the ancient of days took his seat..” Dn.7:9. No option to stray in Eden would be a mere ant farm. As Life itself, the breath, spark and force of, he witnesses and lives through all that ever occurs and created genuinely able to think and reason beings anyway, both angelos and anthropos.}

     11 And when they bring you to court and deliver you to trial, don’t worry about what you might say, just say whatever’s given you in that hour, for it’s not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God, the Holy Ghost! Which logically, has to fill all, what with being Life itself.}

     12 Even brother will deliver brother over to death, the father his own child, and children will rise up against parents, and have them put to death. 13 You’ll be hated by all because of my cause. But the one who endures to the end will be delivered. {Sure is good to know God/Love/Perfection/Life ultimately wins all! One and done. The Harmony will be great, and all will have genuine affection for all!}

GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 25:24-33

24 -  “But he who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you didn’t sow, and gathering where you didn’t scatter any seed” (another facet of the human condition to overcome) 25 “so I was afraid” (I’m really quite convinced what’s needed, NEEDS to be appeased, isn’t God. Though we think it is. It’s our own psyche. The guilty conscience ..somehow tied into cause and effect.. God made a cause and effect universe and reality.. Calls it his wrath.. He’s not only Love, and Life/Perfection, but he is 100% unfettered Genius. This is the reality I want in my psyche. ..Rev.7:9,4?) ..”So I went and hid your talent and buried it in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’ 26 But his master/mister/boss answered him, ‘You wicked and lazy worker! You knew I reap where I haven’t sown” (you’re supposed to be doing the work dude) “and gather where I scattered no seed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers! And then at my coming I should have received what was my own with more besides. 28 So take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has, more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what they have will be lost. 30 And cast the unprofitable [achreios - from alpha as a neg. prefix and chreios - useful, without use, (greek word #888.. can’t help but think of the eighth day!)] worker into the outer darkness [skotos - darkness, either physical or moral]. [In that place - there is no “in that place” in the original verse as written.] There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.’ (In life as we presently know it [crucible] and, or as initial conditions during the GWT judgment ‘day’.) 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. (“All the world’s a stage”..? Shakespeare) 32 Before him will be gathered all nations, and he will separate one from another as a shepherd separates his sheep from his goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.”

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                  ~ Titus 2:9-15 ~

9 - Workers/bondservants using a form of borrowing and paying back by work, are to be respectful in every way, well-pleasing and useful, not argumentative, 10 not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all,12 training us to renounce ungodliness and selfish worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, 13 while waiting for the blessed hope [elpis - expectation] the appearing of the glory of our great God, our Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness, and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for every good work. 15 Declare these things, Titus, speak and encourage with all authority. Let no one disregard you! [Titus is with believers, new and not as new(?) on the Island of Crete, in the Mediterranean Sea.]
