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.

1 - Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke by the prophets, 2 but in these days he’s spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all [pas - all, every, the whole] through whom also, he created the world [aion(s)] {creation/space and time}. 3 Who being the radiance of God’s glory, and the exact representation of God’s person [hupostasis - substance, essence, reality, nature] upholds all by the word, the power. After making purification for sin [hamartia - missing the mark] {purifies the conscience, free for the purification of heart and mind} he then sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

               ~ JOHN 6 41-51 ~

41 - The people were grumbling to one another about him, because he said, “I’m the bread come down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? 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. If anyone eats of this bread, they will live into [eis - into, in, unto, to, upon, towards, for, among] the aion, And the bread and sacrifice I give is for the life of the world [kosmos - world, universe, order, display].

          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.}

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.

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.

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.)

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’.]
