06-11 - From Heb-2 Jn-20,21

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

Hebrews 2:1-3  Jn.20:30-21:6 and ACTS 2:42-47 separately

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 2:1-3

1 - Therefore we must pay very close attention to what we’ve heard! Lest we drift away from it! 2 For since the message declared by angels proved to be firm and unchangeable {engraved in stone} and every transgression or disobedience received just return [misthapodosía - from misthós - reward, and apodídōmi - return, give back] 3 how shall - we - escape [ekpheugó - escape, flee out, avoid] if we neglect the so great [tēlikoútos - a strengthened form of tēlikos - so great, vast, very great, coming of age, reaching maximum size {and scope] salvation? That which was first announced by the Lord, and then was confirmed by us who heard it. (By the miracles, signs, and wonders, and by the changed hearts and lives.)


            🌙 P.M. Jn.20:30-21:6

30 - Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book. 31 But what is written is so you may believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have Life in his name.

     John 21:1 - Now Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias (another name for Sea of Galilee). And in this way — 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing!” They said to him, “We’ll go too.” So they took the boat out, but all that night, they caught nothing.

     4 And just as day was breaking, Jesus stood at the shore. The disciples didn’t know it was Jesus. 5 He said to them, “Children, have you any fish?” They answered, “No, we caught nothing.” 6 He said, “Cast the net to the right side of the boat, and you’ll find some.” So they did, and now they were not able to haul in the catch, there were so many [pléthos - multitude, great number, fullness].

06-10 - From Heb-1 Jn-20

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


Hebrews 1:10-14  John 20:19-29

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 1:10-14

10 - And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning. The heavens are the work of your hands. 11 They will perish, but you remain. They will wear out like old clothing. 12 Like a robe you will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed! But you are the same, and your time has no end.”

     13 To which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”? {Not Gabriel, not Michael.}14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth for the sake of those who are inheriting salvation? [Klēronoméō - from klēronómos - “a specific allotment of inheritance, apportioned by casting lots”. ]


            🌙 P.M. John 20:19-29

19 - Towards evening of that same day (of the resurrection, and) first day of the week, the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the leaders.

     But Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 20 And as he said it, he showed them his hands and his side. And the disciples rejoiced when they saw it.

     21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you” and said, “as the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” 22 And then he blew breath and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive any, they’re forgiven, if you withhold forgiveness, it’s withheld.”

     24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, wasn’t with them. 25 So later the other disciples told him, “We’ve seen the Lord!” But he said, “Unless I see in his hands, the mark of the nails, and touch the wounds in his hands and side, I’ll never believe.”

     26 After eight days, his disciples were inside again, and this time Thomas was with them. And although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

     27 Then he said to Thomas, “See my wounds, here in my hands, and my side. Touch them and don’t doubt, but believe.”

     28 Thomas answered, “My Lord and my God!”  {Jesus doesn’t contradict Thomas. Does this mean what God has created in Jesus (“firstborn of all creation”) is an almost total replication of himself? Almost because Jesus said “the Father is greater than I”. Yet they are so close, both administer God’s Spirit/Presence ..the same as will saturate and “seal” all creation and humanity.}

     29 Jesus said, “Have you believed because you’ve seen? Blessed are those who’ve not seen, and yet believe.”

..These studies are A.M. and P.M. together for pages, when done for an entire year, of a self published book. Marie Glen at lulu dot com, if I can figure out their updates since self publishing a couple of short books a few years back. And if everything’s paraphrased enough for copyright issues. In case you were wondering, lol.

     They’re the study I do (this year together) each morning based on a ‘haphazard’ reading schedule I drew up, not satisfied with any available ones I had. This is the 2nd(?) year of posting them.. This year putting the A.M. and P.M. together, hopefully for the book. Acts and Revelation through the year will be their own books. Just for study, not profit. Jesus asked Peter “do you love me? ..Feed my sheep.” So although the books are for my own use, I do have my prayers! I’ve learned SO (so) much! Wondrous, wondrous things!! And the epitome of Logic. But expressed so often, in riddles.. Hidden treasure, once seen/understood, not forgotten..

JOHN 11 1-16

🍃🕊️ 03/29 - GospeL Verses 🕊️🍃

                (paraphrased)

1 - Lazarus of Bethany, the brother of Mary and her sister Martha, was ill. 2 It was Mary who later anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. 3 So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, your friend is ill!” 4 But when Jesus heard it he said, “This illness doesn’t lead to death, but is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

     5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 But, when he heard Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer where he was. 7 Then after two days said to the disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.” 8 The disciples said, “Rabbi, the leaders {those in seats of power they were keen to keep} were just now seeking to stone you! And are you going there again?” 9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, they won’t stumble, because there’s light to see by. 10 But if they walk in the night, they stumble, because they have no light, and the light isn’t in them.” 11 Then he said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.” 12 The disciples said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.” 13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought he meant resting in sleep. 14 Then he told them plainly, “Lazarus has died. 15 And for your sake I’m glad I wasn’t there, so you may believe. Let’s go to him.” 16 So Thomas, called the Twin, said to the rest, “Let us go too, that we may die with him.”
