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.}

7 - Like Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, they indulge in sexual immorality and pursue unnatural desires. And those cities are an example of the penalty of the fire aionion suffering [hupechó - enduring, undergoing, suffering.] [Aion - is the root word of eon, but has been translated as forever, everlasting, etc.] {Of an age, and time, fire?}

      8 In the same way these dreamers, pollute themselves, set aside authority [kuriotés - dominion, lordship, authority] and blaspheme [blasphémeó - speak evil of] celestial powers.

     9 But even when the archangel Michael, reasoned and disputed with the devil [diabolos - accuser, slanderer] about the body of Moses, he didn’t presume to pronounce an insulting judgment {didn’t accuse and slander} but said, “The LORD rebuke you.”

     10 But these {influencers} insult everything they don’t understand, and corrupt themselves with the unreasonable animal instincts they do understand. 11 Woe to them! For they walk in the way of Cain (!) and abandon themselves to Balaam's error for reward [prophesying/teaching what the world wanted to hear] and perish in Korah's rebellion.

     12 These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast {celebrate} with you, without fear themselves shepherding, clouds without water, by winds carried about, autumn trees without fruit, twice dead/perished {doubly accursed} and uprooted, 13 wild waves of the sea, foaming out shame, wandering stars, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved to {or for?} the age [aion].

11 - While the women were going {Jesus having revealed his resurrected self to the women} some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests (leaders) what had happened. 12 And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sum of money to the soldiers 13 and said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14 And if this comes to the governor's ears, we’ll talk to him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So they took the money and did as they were told. And this story has been spread among the nation to this day.

 Jude 1:1-6  Jn.20:1-18 Mt.28:1-10

            ☀️ A.M. Jude 1:1-6

1 - Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James (both half brothers of Jesus). To those who are called, who are beloved in God the Father and kept in Jesus Christ:

     2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you! 3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all, originally, delivered! 4 For certain ones have by stealth, come in. Their ungodliness and corrupt state was written of long ago. They change the grace of our God into permission for loose and perverse living, denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

     5 Now I want to remind you, although all once fully knew it, that the Lord, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn’t believe. {Transplanted as into a not yet watered garden plot, to rise into the aionion kolasis / eonian korrection / age of correction. Jn.5:28,29 with Mt.25:46 but aionion kolasis has been translated to read everlasting punishment - instead of “eonian korrection”.} 

     6 And also, the angels who left their proper place [Rev.12:4] he has kept in aionion chains {met-a-phor} of darkness until the judgment {during} the great day.

     {During the “last great day” ..the “8th day”/millennium, Rev.20.}

            🌙 P.M. Jn.20:1-18 Mt.28:1-10

1 - Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw the stone had been taken away from the tomb. [During Spring holy week, the third holy day, is Firstfruits. Which Firstfruits always follows the regular weekly Sabbath. Jesus died on Passover, was in the grave for 1st Unleavened Bread Day, and rose (3days later) on Firstfruits. And the Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost, Enabler, Presence of God, was poured out upon/to the believers on Pentecost.]

     2 So Mary ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved (John referred to himself this way) and said to them, “They’ve taken the Lord! And “we” don’t know where they’ve laid him.”

     3 So Peter went with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb, 4 both of them running together. But the other disciple outran Peter, and reached the tomb first. 5 And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he didn’t go in.

     6 Then Simon Peter came and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, 7 and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself.

     8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed. 9 For as yet they didn’t understand the Scripture, that he would rise from the dead. 10 Then the two went back to their homes.

     11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and one at the feet. 13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said, “They have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have lain him.” 14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus, but she didn’t know it was him.

     15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who is it you are seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have lain him, and I’ll take him away.”

     16 Jesus said, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means Teacher. 17 Jesus told her, “Don’t hang onto me, for I’ve not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them I’m ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” 18 So she went to the disciples and announced, “I’ve seen the Lord!” And she told them what he had said to her.

    MT. 28:1 — (Eyewitness accounts always differ, especially as time has passed.) Now after the Sabbath, toward dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord having descended from heaven, indeed came and rolled back the stone, and he was sitting on the stone.

     3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. 4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He’s not here. He is risen, as he said he would. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee. And you will see him there, just as I now tell you.”

     8 So they went quickly from the tomb with awe and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 And behold, Jesus met them on the way, and said, “Greetings! [Chairó! - rejoice, be glad, be joyful, a greeting and salutation.] And they fell and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said, “Don’t be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”

 • 1 Timothy 1:16-2:4  Matthew 23:13-22

            ☀️ 1 Timothy 1:16-2:4

16 - But I (Paul) received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the worst, Jesus displays his perfect patience. And so this is an example to all who are looking to him for eternal life. [“Aionion Life”.] {God iS Life.} 17 To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever! Amen.

     18 This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my (spiritual) son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you! That by them you may wage the good fight. 19 Holding faith and a good conscience, for by rejecting this, some have made a shipwreck of their faith! 20 Among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I’ve handed over to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme. (Commentaries suggest this is a quiet excommunication/expulsion usually for a time.)

     2:1 - First of all {of utmost importance} then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made for all. 2 And also for kings and all who are in high positions {anti-division} that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires [theló - wills, wishes, desires, intends] all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. {Hello? Is there any doubt God our Father is 100% unfettered Genius? The onLy issue is(?) an Ant Farm is no paradise? Total Ant Farm versus Total ‘Herd’ Immunity? The dis-ease as part of the cure.. Rev.20 portrays “8 days/millennium”. Father’s outline, like wheel within wheel, The Week plus One, and within it, the ancient holy days of Leviticus 23 as the two advents of Jesus.

            🌙 Matthew 23:13-22

13 - “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders [hupokrités - stage players, hypocrites]! You shut the kingdom of heaven away from the people. You don’t go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who would go in, to go in.

     15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You travel across sea and land to make a single convert, and when they become a convert, you make them twice as much a child of hell {condition noT place} as yourselves. [Eccles.9:5,10; Ro.6:23, Mt.5:48, 1Tim.4:10, Jn.12:32.]

     16 “Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it’s nothing. But if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, why then they’re bound by an oath!’

     17 You blind fools! What is greater, the gold? Or the temple that has made the gold sacred? 18 And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it’s nothing, but if anyone swears by the gift that’s on the altar, they're bound by an oath.’ 19 Blind! Which is greater, the gift? Or the altar that makes the gift sacred?

     20 Whoever swears by the altar, swears by it, plus everything on it. 21 And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by He who dwells in it. 22 And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by He who sits on it.”

 • Romans 9:27-33  Matthew 13:31-43

           ☀️ Romans 9:27-33

27 - Isaiah cried out concerning Israel, “Though the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, only a remnant will be delivered [sozo - saved, healed, preserved, delivered, rescued] 28 for the Lord will carry out his sentence {cause and effect} upon the earth, fully and without delay.” {We have assumed earthly judgments to be forever and eternal judgments, but the word involved is usually aion, root of eon, and means age, or aionion, of an age. Forever, and afterlife, is assumed due to ancient pre biblical belief.}

    29 And also Isaiah predicted, “If the LORD of hosts had not left us descendants, we would have been like Sodom and become like Gomorrah.” {Awaiting resurrection into GWT judgment/full discernment ‘day’ surely the aionion kolasis / eonian korrection of Mt.25:46.}

     30 What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who didn’t pursue righteousness, have attained it! That is, a righteousness that is by faith. 31 But Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness missed the mark in reaching that goal.

     32 Why? Because they didn’t pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on {their own} works {effort, earning}. They have stumbled over the stone that makes people stumble. {Life is a Gift.} 33 Even as it’s written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock that offends. And whoever believes in him will not be confounded, blamed nor shamed.”

            🌙 Matthew 13:31-43

31 - Jesus told another parable, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed we plant in a garden. 32 It’s the smallest of seeds, but when it grows, it’s larger than all the other plants. So much so, that birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”

     33 And he told yet another parable. “The kingdom is like leaven a woman works into three measures of flour, until - all/the whole is leavened.” {13:33 with 1Corinthians 15:22-28, key word 3. Three Loaves! Three Harvests!! Barley/Christ; the wheat; aNd a grape harvest, Rev.21:5 “pas” means “all” not “all things”. Compare (1Cor.15) 27 to 28! Same word seven times, pas/all, so why only five rendered the inferior “all things”? Disbelief of the genuine message? And also because of ancient spiritual propaganda?}

     34 All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables. He didn’t tell them anything about the kingdom, except by parables. 35 This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet, “I will open my mouth in parables.” {Riddles! Things hidden in plain sight!} “I’ll utter what’s been hidden since the beginning/founding of the world.”

     36 When he left the crowds and went into the house, his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.” 37 So He told them, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world. {The field is the world.} The good seed is the sons and daughters of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons and daughters (still) of the evil one” {this world, under sway of the evil intentioned one}. 39 And the enemy who sowed is the devil.” [Speiró - sow, scatter.]

     “The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40 Just as the weeds are gathered and burned in a fire, so will it be at the end of the age.” {Judgment ‘Day’ is not until much later, Rev.20. There are three mentions of “lake of fire”. Each one is at a huge, fiery and earthly event. Things are being let to run their full course.}

     41 “And the Son of Man will send his angels, and they’ll gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all practicing of lawlessness. 42 They will be thrown into the fiery furnace.” {That fiery furnace, I am convinced is Rev.16:14-15-16, Is.24:20, Rev.10:4, especially considering context.} “There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

15 - Don’t love this world and the things that belong to this world. If anyone loves the world, then love of the Father is not in them. 16 For all that’s in the world - the desires of the lower {flawed} nature, the coveting of the eyes, and the arrogance of life - are not from the Father but are of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, along with all its enchantments {and negative enchantments of division) but whoever does the will of God abides to [eis - into, to, towards, for, in] the age [the aion - the eon, the age].

1 - Therefore let us go on from the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God {stage one?} 2 and of instruction {stage 2?} about baptisms, then laying on of hands, the resurrection [anastasis] of the dead, and aiónios judgment. [Aiónios is the adjective of the noun, aion, root of eon.] 3 And move on we shall do if God allows. 4 For it’s nigh impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, have shared in the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} 5 and have tasted the goodness of the message of God and the powers of the age [aion] to come, 6 and then have fallen away. It’s impossible - for us - to restore such a one again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God in their heart, and causing him to be ridiculed.

How does he now say, ‘I’ve come down from heaven’!?” 43 Jesus said, “Don’t murmur [gogguzó - grumble, murmur, mutter, whisper, complain] among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them. And I will raise them up on the last day. 45 As it says in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ And everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from Him, he has seen the Father. 47 Truly, I tell you whoever believes has enduring [aionios, aionion - agelasting, of an age] life. {Life of the age.. in the case of “putting on immortality” of 1 Cor.15:53, Rev.21:5, it’s the age of forever?} 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 But this is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it [be nourished by it] and not die [apothnéskó - die, perish]. 51 I am the living bread come down from heaven.

          Paul’s Letter To The Romans

6 - ..Who will give to each one, according to their works and actions. 7 To those who by patient endurance, are working good - glory, honor and immortality, (for) they are seeking life aionion. {Seeking Life. Communion. Unity. God.}

     8 But for those being self-seeking and not obeying the truth, being persuaded of unrighteousness, there remains wrath/{cause and effect} [orgé - from the Greek verb ὀρέγω (oregō), meaning - to stretch out or reach forth, indicating a passionate impulse or desire] and remains anger [thumos - a rising indignation] 9 and tribulation and distress {remains} upon every soul working evil. 10 But glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good. 11 For God shows no partiality. 12 All who have sinned [hamartanó - missed the mark, erred] whether with (knowing) the law, or without the law, will perish. All according to {natural} law. {The law that God is Life and “is Perfect” so imperfect is entropy the slow gehenna that cannot be put out/cannot reverse course.}

     13 It’s not hearers who are righteous before God, but the doers who are justified. 14 For when Gentiles (these days, not yet believers) who don’t understand the law, by nature do as the law says, 15 it shows it’s written in their hearts, and are following a good conscience, the thoughts accusing or excusing them, 16 on that day when, according to this gospel, God judges each person’s heart and secrets - by Christ Jesus. {We accuse or excuse self? God judges by the cross of Christ? Which had to be, and is, strong enough to reach all. And able to appease even the worst consciences among us “on that day” (during) the “last day” the “8th ‘day’/aion”? Lev.23:36, Jn.7:37.}

GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 28:11-15

11 - While the women were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests what had taken place. 12 So the leaders called a council and decided to give a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers 13 and tell them to say his disciples came by night and stole his body away while they were asleep. 14 And that if it were to come to the governor's ears, they would talk convincingly to him and keep them out of trouble. 15 So the guards took the money and did as the leaders said. And this story has been spread among the Jewish people to this day.

                      ~~ Jude 1:7-13 ~~

(Note, Jude doesn’t pull any punches.) 7 - Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which indulged in sexual immorality [ekporneuó - from ek - from, from out of, and porneo] and pursued unnatural desires - they are set forth as an example of undergoing aionion hellfire. [Aion - root word of course of eon, but usually translated as forever and ever or neverending.]

     8 And in the same way these people today, relying upon their dreams, pollute the ways of life, they set aside authority, and blaspheme the glorious order. 9 But even the archangel Michael, when disputing with the devil about the body of Moses (likely a handed down story) he didn’t presume to pronounce a judgment, but instead said, “the Lord rebuke you”. 10 But these dreamers insult and undermine all they don’t understand, and they come to ruin by all they like unreasoning animals understand instinctively. 11 Woe to them! For they walk in the way of Cain and abandon theirselves for the sake of gain like Balaam's error and like those who perished in Korah's rebellion. 12 These are hidden reefs at your love meals, as they feast with you without respect shepherding (acting as shepherds?) They are waterless clouds, swept along by every wind, fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead and uprooted. 13 And like wild waves of the sea, foaming out the shame of their shameful deeds. Wandering stars, for whom the gloom of (inner) darkness has been reserved to the age [aión - a space of time, an age, likely the Great one of the GWT ‘day’ of judgment (and total, full discernment, and closure for all things of all time and history.🎉 The “last Great Day”!)].

GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 24:1-6

1 - Jesus was walking away from the temple, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 2 But his answer was, “Do you see all this? Truly, I tell you, there will not remain here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down.” [A few days previous - Lk.19:41,44 - “And when he drew near to Jerusalem” riding from Mt. of Olives on the colt of a donkey, he wept, saying.. “..they will not leave one stone upon another within you” - (Of Jerusalem.. Not one stone of her shall remain atop another. I think this may be proof of the “70 weeks” gap - the gap being the times of the nations/gentiles, Dn.12:11(12).

     3 A little later as Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives (across the valley from Jerusalem) the disciples came to him saying, “When will these things be? And what will be the sign of your [sos - your] coming [parousia - a presence, a coming, arrival, advent] and the end [synteleia - a joint payment (for public service), joint action, spec. completion, from syn - close with, and teleo - completion, culmination, an end involving many parts, consummation] of the age?” (Aionion syntéleia, when syntéleia occurs with aiōn/age - a complete consummation/end?) 4 And Jesus answered, “See that no one misleads you. 5 For many will come in my name saying I am the Christ, (but?) will mislead many. 6 And you will hear of wars about to be, and reports of war. But do not be troubled or afraid, this is inevitable, but the end is not yet.

                  ~ 1 Timothy 4:9-16 ~

9 - Reliable is the saying, and full of all (pas - all) acceptance and approval [apodoxḗ - from apodéxomai - gladly receive, full-welcoming acceptance, the ready, glad acknowledgment that goes with welcoming the source of the statement, note the apo - from, receive heartily, welcome] 10 for to this end [godliness] we toil and strive, because our hope is set upon the living God, who is the Savior of all people [ánthrōpos – man, also the generic term for "mankind" - the human race] especially (true) of those believing [pistos - persuaded]. 11 Proclaim and teach these things.12 Let no one disregard you for your youth, but set for them an example in your speech, in your conduct, in love and faith, and in purity. 13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture and to the urging and teaching. 14 Don’t neglect the gift you have, which was given to you by prophecy when the council of elders laid (prayerful) hands on you. 15 Practice these things. Saturate yourself in them, so that all may see your progress, 16 keeping a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Continuing in it, for the safety of yourself, and of your hearers. (For truth sets free! Jn.8:32. Jesus prayed, “Sanctify them in the truth, your word is truth” Jn.17:17.)

GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 11:20-30

20 - Then he (Jesus) began to scold the cities where most of his mighty works were being done, because they did not repent. [Metanoeó - to turn, change one's mind or purpose, change the inner person to acceptance of the will of God. (Instead of being “seated as though in the temple as God”/highest power deciding good from not good, 2Thes.2:3,4,11. Verse (2Thes.2) 9 is the individual, the a.c., the one pinpointed by Rev.13:13, but who also not yet at the time pinpointing an individual, but an office was pinpointed by 13:13, the first seal 6 event - which seal is described as its fuLL effects first to very last - the first seal 6 event carried out by a triple six, imagine that. Six being the number of man. But! 2Thes.3,4,11 is noT due to the 13:13 office so much as another entity, one with modern wonders and “miracles to mislead” and whose “strong delusion” of “seating man/anthropos as in the temple as God”/highest power has caused western civilization once called Christendom, to “fall away”. Which power also of course puts forth a prophecy.)] 21 “Woe Chorazin! Woe Bethsaida! If the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have long ago repented in sackcloth and ashes! 22 But I tell you, it will be easier in the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum, will you be honored as though up to heaven? You will be brought down to Hades. (The grave. Cities do not go to a hazy, dark dungeon of languishing for millennia. They either are, or they are not.) For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, that city would have remained to this day. 24 But I tell you, it will be easier in the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you.” 25 Then Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and outstanding (privileged?) and you reveal them to children. 26 Yes, Father, for such is your will. 27 All have been given over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and whomever the Son chooses to reveal him to. 28 Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am humble and gentle, and your heart will find rest. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

                  ~ Romans 7:1-4 ~

1 - Do you not know, brethren, for I speak now to those who know the law, that the law is binding on a person only as long as they live? 2 For a married woman, if her husband dies, is released from the law of marriage. 3 But if she lives with another man while her husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress. Yet if her husband dies, she is free from the law and contract of marriage to him, and if then she marries another man she is not an adulteress. 4 In the same way, my friends, you have died to the contract of the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another contract (grace to fulfil the law above the minimum of self effort’s ability) and are now married to he who has been raised from the dead. So that we we may bear fruit for God. (For a good tree bears good fruit, Mt.7:17. And “the fruit of the Spirit/Presence (of God with us) is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such there is no law” Gal.5:22-23.)

          Luke 15:1-10

1 - Tax collectors and other notorious (to strict hebrew law) sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. 2 So the Pharisees and the scribes (lawyers and so called experts) were grumbling, “This man welcomes sinners and even eats with them!” 3 So Jesus told them this parable - 4 “Who among you, if you have a hundred sheep and lose one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost until it is found? 5 And when you find it, you will be so glad that you will carry it home on your shoulder rejoicing. 6 And then you will call your friends and neighbors and say, "Let's celebrate! I've found my sheep that was lost." 7 In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others  who haven’t strayed away!” (And the lost one is looked for and found.)

     8 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors and says, ‘Rejoice with me, I have found my lost coin.’ (Is not content to lose one.) 10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God each time a person turns to God.”

  ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:1-10 ~

1 - Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to be easily upset or disturbed by people who claim the Lord has already come!

     They may say they heard this directly from the Holy Spirit, or from someone else, or even that they read it in one of our letters. 3 Don’t be fooled by what they say.

     For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man [anthropos] of lawlessness is revealed—the son (inheritor?) of destruction. 4 Who will oppose and exalt self above every so-called god or object of worship “so as for” in the temple of God, to be seated and set forth as God. (Highest power?) 5 Do you remember that I told you about all this when I was with you? 6  And now that which is holding back, you know, in order for his being revealed [apokalýptō] in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness [anomía - from A - "not" and nómos - "law" – properly, without law.. utter disregard for God’s laws] is already at work. Only the restraining at present until from out of midst/middle occurs. (What now holds back the agenda ..no longer in the middle of things. 🤔A repeating and happening trend?) (Chaos, lawlessness was already at work.. The Greek (and prone to mankind) idolizing of man (anthropos) called humanism? They also early on had a “from rock to life” theory.. which such produces humanism, the - man is highest - theory, not to be confused with humanitarianism.) [Some versions say “till he is taken out of the way” which actually would be “what is restraining is taken out of the way”. Many very sincere and genuine, of the remaining, tattered Christendom, believe this taken out of the way is the Lord snatching believers out of harm’s way. However there are other possible means of removal out of the middle of things. Jesus does, when he returns, snatch his followers, but I believe that to be 2Thes.1:8 when he “comes in a flame of fire inflicting [didontos - the word includes “allowing”] vengence” ((cause and effect..? The flames being he comes during fiery armageddon? Rev.16:13-16 and Mt.13:30 (as in when else does he come in flames?) Verse 7 says he comes with his mighty angels, elsewhere called holy ones. In other words, as the fire, the (thermonuclear+) bowls of Revelation, come ‘down’ the believers are snatched up, “on the last day” when the “dead” elsewhere called asleep “in Christ rise first” and together they all “meet the Lord at his coming”.)) [The mystery of lawlessness was already at work.. until what it is that holds it back is gone, in its proper time.] 8 Then will be revealed the lawless which the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth and abolish, render inoperative, by the appearing and presence of Him. (“With the breath of his mouth” - with Truth! for “God is a consuming/purifying fire”. And chaos/lawlessness rendered inoperative by the Lord’s presence.)

     9 Which the coming [of the lawless] is according to the working of the adversary in all sorts of marvels  [dýnamai] and signs and wonders (modern miracles?) of falsehood [pseudos - a falsehood, untruth, lie, from pseudomai - to lie; the New International Version says - “wonders to serve the lie”] (which “wonders and marvels” always makes me think - modern miracles and wonders to decieve) 10 with all wicked deception for those who are (in the role of?) perishing, having refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. [Believe it or not, but no where in the Bible does it say anyone perishes forever, but the word is aionios, which meaning includes “pertaining to an age”. From aion, root of eon, translated by flawed humans with strong, longterm, cultural preconceptions to read ‘forever’.]
