(An 8TH ‘DAY’ Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. 1John 4:4-6

Disciple John wrote, 4 - Little children, you are from God and have overcome them {the anti-Christs/Christ deniers/the world, overcome in the heart} for he (God) who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world {“the ‘god’ of this world” system and empires including today’s lascivious, increasingly lawless, $ity which rode the beasts which are becoming one, to the 7hills/continents}.

     5 They (listening to the world) are {still} of the world, and so they {think and } speak from the world {view and sentiment, including the sheep’s clothing worn for political self interest} and - the world - listens to them. {And is enchanted.}

     6 We are {being} of God. Whoever knows God hears us. Whoever is not {being} of God doesn’t hear us. And by this we can know the Spirit of truth, from the spirit of error. {And truth from half truth. Are we listening to the world/Satan/“accuser”/divider? And accelerator.. accelerating toward..? Which call, are we listening to? To armageddon, aka, war, or to Jesus’ second advent, surely(?) a full scope version of his first so brief one, to serve called reigning -> Rev.20 and Lev.23 as an outline of the advents. One of Father’s good riddles!}

            🌙 P.M. MARK 8:11-21

11 - The Pharisees came around and began to argue with Jesus. They asked him for a sign from heaven, as a test.

     12 Jesus sighed deeply in his spirit, and said to them, “Why do you seek a sign? Truly, I tell you, no sign will be given to you.” {Except all the healings and miracles, lol. The crowds that gathered and followed and were healed.} 13 And so he went back to the boat and returned to the other side of the lake.

     14 Now the disciples had forgotten to bring any bread, and had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 And as they were rowing away Jesus said, “Watch out and beware, the leaven of the Pharisees {not genuine} and of the leaven of Herod {politics? Herod was hebrew and for Rome, the occupation of Israel of that day, current state, Ps.80:11-13}.” 16 And so the disciples began to discuss with one another the fact they had no bread.

     17 But Jesus, aware of it, said, “Why are you discussing among yourselves the fact we have no bread? Don’t you understand? Are your hearts still so hard [póroó - hardened, callous, insensitive]? 18 Do your eyes see and your ears hear? Do you remember 19 when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand? How many baskets did you collect after we all ate?” They said, “Twelve.”

     20 “And the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets were left?” And they said, “Seven.”

     21 And he said, “Do you not yet see?”

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.}

ACTS 4 23-37

 Luke wrote “of the things fulfilled among us” paraphrased  [ ] ref  { } thots

     Book of the Acts of the First Believers

23 When Peter and John were released {from the sanhedrin/court} they went to the rest of the believers and reported what the chief priests and elders had said. 24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together in prayer and praise, saying, “Sovereign LORD, you who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and everything in them, 25 and who through our father David, your servant, said by the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} — ‘Why do the nations rage?! And the people devise vain things?! 26 The highest ones of earth gather and set theirselves, against the LORD and against his Anointed.’ 27 In fact, this has happened here in this very city! For Herod (Antipas), Pilate the governor, the Gentiles (of the nations) and the people of Israel were united against Jesus. Your holy servant, whom you anointed. 28 But it was your purpose, and your plan, that you ordained to happen! 29 And now, LORD, hear their threats and grant to your servants to speak your word [logos - reasoning, message; root word of logic] with all boldness, 30 while you stretch out your hand to heal, with signs and wonders performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

     31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God}. And they continued to speak the word/message of God with boldness. [Ps.2]

     {God is Life and “is perfect” so imperfect is entropy (which “doesn’t quit”) and “God is savior..” 1TIM.4:10. Also “perfect” means the ‘end’ result of this one & done (greek word “tel” the end-aim) can’t be anything but the best one possible.}

     32 Those who believed were of one heart and mind. No one even said what belonged to them was theirs, but they had all things in common. {Not a state supplies.. and thus owns, situation.} 33 And with great power the apostles were proclaiming and testifying to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 And no one among them was in need, for as many as were owners of lands and houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold 35 and put it in the apostle’s hands, and it was distributed to each as any had need. [From a Biblehub commentary (Ellicott’s) - “There was, in this sale of their estates, a proof of faith in the future desolation which Jesus had foretold, having properties in Palestine” (the name began as the world’s name for Israel) “was likely to be a source of anxiety rather than profit. Like Jeremiah had shown his faith in the future restoration of his people by purchasing the field at Anathoth”.]

     36 And so it was too, that Joseph, also called Barnabas, which means son of encouragement [paraklésis], a Levite (line who served in the temple, but not as a priest) and a native of Cyprus, 37 sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money to the apostles.

     {Barnabas goes with Paul on Paul’s first “missionary journey” - the first of his travels proclaiming the good news of resurrection, and belief and following Jesus to inherit the better resurrection - Mt.25:46 “into Life” (Mt.25:1-13!) or into “aionion kolasis / eonian korrection / age of correction - Rev.20, “putting on perfection and (thus) immortality” at the palin(again)genesis, Rev.21:5, tho “all” was changed into “all things”. Still true but a downgrade. Note, the three mentions of lake of fire are at huge, fiery events. Father’s outline(s) - the week plus 1 millennia; the Spring and Fall holy days of Lev.23 as 1st and 2nd advents.}

Hebrews 4:8-11 Luke 1:57-66

           ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 4:8-11

8 - For if Joshua [(righteous) leader after Moses] had led them to rest, God wouldn’t have spoken of another day of rest later. 9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. {Including what’s called “the” millennium, a Sabbath rest from the adversary. God created all in patterns including time, harvest and advents.. fulfilled in widening scope.. Like history and gospel - Israel first, then nations. Until reaching God’s ultimate “end-aim” - Greek word “tel” root of telescope.}

     10 And whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from their works as God did from his. {We’re not trying to earn God’s enduring Life, called eternal Life, It’s a gift ..”We’re the big door prize” John Prine (from the song “In Spite of Ourselves”.. We are whole burnt offerings on God’s altar.. So to speak.}

     11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so no one will fall {short} by the same sort of carelessness. {Being in God’s rest - sheltering under the wing of the almighty - dwelling in the realization of Him - is christian spiritual stability?}

            🌙 P.M. Luke 1:57-66

57 - The time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. 58 Her neighbors and relatives heard how the Lord had blessed her, and they rejoiced with her. 59 And - on the eighth day - they came to circumcise the child. {Symbolizes, in the “new” way (THE way) the removal of the self first and foremost, carnal character. The collective (spiritual surgery) completed during the “8th Day”/millennium, during GWT Judgment/Discernment/Review and “Aionion Kolasis”/Correction and closure for all ‘Day’.}

     And they thought he would be named Zechariah after his father, 60 but Elizabeth said, “No, his name is John.” 61 “But none of your relatives are named John!” they said.

     62 So they made signs to his father, asking what he wanted. 63 And he asked for a writing tablet and he wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed. 64 And immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue was loosed, and he spoke and blessed God. 65 Wonder came upon the family and neighbors. And these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea. 66 For they wondered in their hearts, ‘What will this child be?’ For they could see that the hand of the LORD was with him.

Hebrews 1:5-9  Mark 16:12-18

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 1:5-9

5 - To which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I’ve begotten you”!? {Only to the straight out from God one.. forever “Firstborn of creation”. Whereas angelkind (later) and mankind (much later) are created/formed beings.. endowed with genuine thinking and reasoning ability.}

     Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a Son”? 6 And again, when he brought the firstborn into the world, and said, “Let all God's angels worship him.” {In the time of the writing of this letter, the worship of angels was going on. A trend and spirit. We have many different trends today, both old and new?}

     7 Of the angels he said, “He makes his angels winds, his servants a flame of fire.” 8 But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is age to age, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. 9 You love righteousness and hate wickedness, therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness and exultation beyond your companions.

     [Companions - métoxos - (those who are your) fellow(s), partaker(s) with; from metexo - share in, in turn from meta - change afterwards, and mexo - have, properly change due to sharing and being an active partaker with].”

     {Father and Son are so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence, same as will “seal” and saturate all creation and humanity. As these five verses say, the Son is vastly superior to the angels, and all of us. “The first” - a foundation stone is laid first. Greek “proto” (the prototype). “We shall be like him” but he is “forever first”.

     “All of heaven and all of earth” are being “gathered into Him” Eph.1:10. After which, when fully completed, will occur, the “the regenesis, the “palin/again-genesis, fiery, of Rev.21:1-5 (2Pet.3:12-13). Last mention, out of 3, of a lake of fire. Each one at a large fiery event.}

            🌙 P.M. Mark 16:12-18

[Secretary/Scribe Mark’s version, his gospel/good news account of the advent is thought to be the earliest of the four; gathered by interview. All witness accounts differ in some details.] 12 - After these things he appeared in another way to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13 And when they went back and told the rest, they didn’t believe them.

     14 But a little later he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he asked them about their unbelief and hardness of heart, why they hadn’t believed those who saw him after he had risen. 15 Then he told them to “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to all. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever doesn’t believe will be judged as guilty.” {As with all.} 17 “And these signs will accompany those who believe - in my name they will cast out demons. They will speak with new tongues.” {Because their hearts are new? But beware the forked tongue of the adversary, which is of course division.. any ‘us and them’ attitude will do?} 18 “They will take to hand and remove serpents. And if they drink any deadly poison, it will noT harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will be well.” {Especially during long second advent, surely(?) a full scope version of his so brief first one. With “crowns of Life” not metal, helping called ‘reigning’ during the ‘Day’ of the LORD..}

Start/End the day with a Psalm (jan 1-20, feb-20’s, mar-30’s, apr-40’s, etc. dec-120-150)

{Additional study - possibility from interlinear. 2Pet.3:10 “will come moreover the ‘day’ of the LORD, like a thief” [kleptés] (unexpectantly, quickly-erroneously often translated soon). “In [en: in, on, at, by, with, among, during] which the heavens [ouranoi - heavens, sky] with a roar will pass away. The elements in furious heat will dissolve [luó - be loosed, untied, released, divorced, (be) dissolved] and the earth and its works will be revealed [heuriskó - found, discovered, (and) obtained.” {ALL the ‘files’ from Eden to Armageddon}. I think 2Pet.3:10(-13) stretches from Jesus’ return at fiery Armageddon, to the “fiery palin/again-genesis”. The “Day Of the LORD” spanning the Lord’s long second advent right up to the (fiery) Regenesis and God’s proclamation of “Behold! I make all new!” Rev.21:5 [pas - all, every, the whole]. EPH.1:10 [“the pas”, “things” as often, is inserted] and 1COR.15:24-28 [27-28 pas, 5 times, changed only 3 times, lol.]

     Is.24:20/Rev.10:4 -> Mt.13:30 as Rev.16:14-15-16 and, oR Mt.25:1-13.

 Jude 1:20-25  Luke 24:30-35

            ☀️ A.M. Jude 1:20-25

20 - But you, beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy and sacred faith. And pray in the Holy Spirit. 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus that leads to enduring life. 22 Have mercy on those who doubt. 23 Save others by snatching them out of the fire. {Dissolution is a fire? Entropy accelerated?} To others show mercy with fear, but beware of becoming entrapped in any confusion [spiloó - pollution].

     24 Now to he who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you in the presence of his glory blameless [amomos - blameless, without flaw, faultless] with great joy - 25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time, and now and forever. Amen.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 24:30-35

30 - When he was at table with them (at Emmaus) he took up the bread, and then blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 And then their eyes were opened, and they saw who he was. Then he vanished from their sight.

     32 Then they said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road!? And while he opened to us the Scriptures?”

     33 And so they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, 34 who said to them, “The Lord has indeed risen! He has appeared to Simon!”

     35 Then the two told what had happened on the road to Emmaus, and how he became known to them by - the breaking of the bread. {Man shall not live on bread alone but by every word from the mouth of God” our spiritual nurturance and feast! But it’s a treasure chest of riddles.. Father loves a good riddle?! Then translators due to disbelief(?) made some (few) translation errors with huGe impact. Pre-flood was hands off (to cannibaalism becoming dominant?) Hands off and first proof. Death to God is like transplanting to an untilled garden awaiting resurrection into aGe of correction / “aionion kolasis” / eonian korrection, aFter which, God says “Behold! I make all new!” and God will now “tabernacle/dwell with mankind”. “The lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow” Isaiah 11:7. ..But before that Isaiah.24:20/Rev.10:4. And the Old Testament has in it war dirges.. Does noT reflect God, but is history. In other words don’t believe the “downplay the scriptures” trend/spirit.. Nor the let’s harshly judge God portrayed in the Old Testament because we don’t understand his message has to also speak to the heartless despots, the serial killers, the child sex traffickers, etc. Their INITIAL inneR condition during GWT judgment ‘day’ is portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable and the outside-of-the vision narrative of Rev.22, which has to do with Mt.13:30 as Rev.16:14-15-16 and, oR Mt.25:1-13(10) door to serving called reigning during long 2nd advent, full scope version of His so brief 1st one.}

1 - As Jesus was in the temple, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, 2 including a poor widow who put in two very small copper coins. 3 He then said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 For they gave from their wealth. But she, out of her poverty has put in what she had to live on.”

     5 Some of the disciples were saying how the temple was built with such beautiful and impressive stones and was arrayed in beauty and dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6 “As for all you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left upon another, but every one of them will be thrown down.” {Lk.19:41,44 - says, “Jerusalem, Jerusalem.. not oNe stone will be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down” imo, the “70 weeks gap”! WiTh Dan.12:11(12) aNd 1Cor.3:16.}

     7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all that happen?! And what will be the sign that it’s about to take place?” {Does Dan.12:11(12) begin a countdown? of 45 days, last “ten days” escalating to most critical? Rev.2:10.} {Prophecy is veiled by its riddles? And is fulfilled as ‘smaller scope’ then larger full scope. Same with the advents.}

   (In the Order Believed Written)

7 - The thing is, land that has drank in the rain that falls upon it, and produces a crop useful to those for whom it’s cultivated, receives the blessing from God. 8 But if it bears thorns and thistles, it’s not useful for cultivation and is cursed, and its ‘end’ is to be burned. {See!? This is not an eternal fire! It - never - is. Worse case scenario would be a temporary ‘burning’ - but! Surely that can only be spiritual! Except in the case of fiery wars, fiery judgments. Cause and effect as judgment. Which is in line with the three mentions of lake of fire being at huge fiery events.. First one at armageddon battle. Which surely is not all that surprising. And this imperfection is entropy, which is surely a crucible!? ..We gather weeds to a bonfire. And we burn off a field and it grows back greener.}

     9 Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things, things that belong to the saving way! 10 For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you’ve shown for his name, in serving his people {feeding his sheep; wholesome nourishment; passing on the message} as you still do. 11 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance [plérophoria - full assurance, complete certainty, full conviction] of hope [elpis - expectation!] {certainty of expectation} until the ‘end’ [telos - the end aim]. (From commentary — like the old pirate’s tel-escope.. things progress - prophecy is fulfilled - in scopes, until reaching full scope, and end-aim.) {The advents? ‘Smaller’ pond ripple, to full pond ripple.}
