MATTHEW 11 20-30

    🍃🕊️02/04 - GospeL Verses 🕊️🍃

20 - Then Jesus began to scold the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent. [Metanoéō - from metá - changed after being with, and noiéō, - think – (so) think differently after; quote - a turning point in one's life, a call to abandon former ways and embrace a new life in Christ.. particularly significant in the context of the early church, where converts often came from pagan backgrounds and needed to renounce their previous beliefs and practices.]

     21 “Woe to you, Chorazin, woe to you, Bethsaida, for if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes! 22 And I tell you, it will be more tolerable on the ‘day’ of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to hades (state of unseen. gone). For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I tell you that it will be - more - bearable - on the day of judgment {the “8th” millennium**} for the land of Sodom than for you. 25 Then Jesus prayed, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have HIDDEN these things from the {so called} wise and understanding and revealed them to little children {and ‘foolish’ of the world}. 26 Yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. 27 All [ - the word “things” is inserted, but instead should read “all” - pas - every, the whole, entire, all] have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son if not the Father, and no one knows the Father if not the Son, and whoever 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’m gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For - my - yoke is easy, and my burden is - light.” {Not heavy.}

     **The 8th ‘day’ - In the beginning.. Father, then only straight out from God one, the Son, so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence, same as will saturate and “seal” creation and humanity. …Created angels.. and waited, waited.. the universe came about as a big bang (of “light” and “word”/vibration, God spoke it} into as it is, but like a clock not yet running - then - it was set in motion. No option to stray in Eden would be creation as an ant farm, so things are being let to run their course. Preflood was hands off, first proof - they await resurrection into GWT “aionion kolasis” eonian korrection, age of correction (2nd half of Jesus’ long second advent, full scope version of his so brief first one, but with helpers serving, called reigning. having “crowns of Life”..Mt.25:1-13. Imperfection/entropy, this slow gehenna crucible, running course for six ‘days’/millennia. Then a Sabbath millennia, as rest from enmity/the adversary&co..

JOHN 1 35-51

  🍃🕊️01/03 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️

35 - The next day John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 when he saw Jesus as he was walking by and he said, “Look! The Lamb of God!” {Why? Why a sacrifice? (As portrayed in the O.T. worship. Fulfilled via the only straight out from God one. Forever firstborn Son.) Imagine yourself waking up into the radiance of the GWT judgment ‘day’ and you had been a child sex trafficker.. Or even ‘just’ a child labor trafficker.. Or you had been a cruel and heartless despot, abusing and harming untold numbers of, vulnerable to you, people.. Ultimately is it God’s anger at you that needs to be appeased? As God who is Love (Life and “is Perfect”) would he by then pity you more than hate you? I am very much convinced it is the human conscience that hAs to be appeased.. Imagine the gut wrenching remorse some human players will ultimately experience.. And doesn’t God in his total wisdom, know that’s the onLy “correction” (punishment if you prefer like the partially unbelieving translators) that actually works? Surely the condition of inner, outside of the light darkness, portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable, and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22, are INITIAL conditions of SOME during that “last great day” ..the “8th day” (second ‘day’ of Jesus’ long second advent -> 1Cor.15:27-28 “all” repeated five times. Changed into ‘all things’ however. Hello?)

     “The” millennium/further “training”? Also Sabbath from the adversary&co. to the --> Palin/again war to the —> 500 years (Lev.23) of GWT judgment and discernment ‘day’ an “aionion kolasis, to —> “the regeneration” greek palin/again-genesis, about which God says “behold! I make all new!” Rev.21:(1-)5. — “In the beginning” - the Light. And a biG banG into the universe as is (asis) and theN it was set in motion.. Lev.23 - For 6 millennium things let to run course, interfering only when demise was imminent during formative ages. No option to stray in Eden, and creation would be an ant farm? SO the remedy was “built in”.}

     37 The two disciples of John heard him say this, so they left and followed Jesus. 38 Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” 39 He said to them, “Come and see.” So they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour (about 4pm). 40 One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which means Christ). 42 He brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter).

     43 The next day Jesus went to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip went and found Nathanael (Mt.10:3, is Bartholomew?) and said to him, “We have found he of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote! Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” 46 Nathanael said, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said, “Come and see.”

     47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said, “An Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deception!” 48 Nathanael said, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Nathanael said, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” 50 Jesus answered, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ you believe? I tell you, you will see greater things than that. 51 You will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending to the Son of Man.” [Rev.12:5]
