(An 8TH ‘DAY’ CU Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. James 5:1-8

1 - Listen, you rich weep and wail over the miseries coming! 2 For your riches will rot {and rust} and your garments will be moth-eaten.

     3 Your gold and silver corrodes, and is a testimony against you, consuming away your life liKe fire stored up for last days. 4 For, behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you! {Injustice cries a voice God hears, like the blood of Abel, and of all martyrs ..In Rev.6, the fifth seal/element of the times, the martyrs are not prisoners held “under the altar” for millennia, while their blood cries out to God!}

     The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the LORD of hosts! 5 You have reveled in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts for a ‘day’ of great war. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person, who doesn’t (even) resist you. {But will reap what they sow.. Their deeds will return on their own heads - Obadiah 1:15. You will fall into the hole you dig (for others) - Proverbs 26:27.}

     7 Be patient, therefore, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient, until the earth receives the early aNd the late rains. (Harvests, 1Cor.15:22-24,28 w/ Mt.13:33, key word 3 ..harvests). 8 You also, be patient. Strengthen your hearts. For the coming of the Lord draws near. {For us all, it’s always near.. life as we presently know it, this imperfection/entropy is brief, Jn.5:28.}

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 12:1-12

 1 - Meanwhile, so many had gathered around Jesus, they were trampling one another. He said to his disciples, “Beware the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy” [hypokrisḗs - literally - acting under a mask]. 2 “Nothing is covered up that won’t be revealed, or hidden that won’t be known. 3 Therefore whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light. {What you’ve conspired or slandered, will come to light.} And what you have whispered in private rooms will be as proclaimed from rooftops.

     4 So I tell you, my friends, don’t fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more they can do. 5 But I will warn you whom to fear (you pharisees) fear he who, after the destruction/ruin, has authority to cast into Gehenna [from gay - valley, and Hinnom - Gehenna] {Valley of Armageddon, first one was coming in 70 CE}. Yes, I tell you, fear him! {Evildoers!} 6 BecauSe, are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not oNe of them is forgotten before God! 7 Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not!! YOU are of more value than many sparrows. {And all victims.}

    8 And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, also the Son of Man will acknowledge before the angels of God, 9 but the one who denies me before men, will be denied before the angels of God.” (Does noT say ‘forever and ever’.)

     10 “And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one blaspheming against the Holy Spirit(/Presence) of God is not forgiven.” {How can they be? While hating God enough to virulently insult him?}

     11 Then when they bring you before the councils, the rulers and authorities, don’t be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, 12 for the Holy Spirit(/Presence of God) will guide you in that very hour what you should say.”

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.

have a good day! ☀️🕊️

(An 8TH ‘DAY’ Studies Journal)

            ☀️ A.M. 1John 4:19-21

19 - And now we love.. Because he first loved us! 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and despises their brother or sister, they’re lying! [Pseústēs - from pseúdomai.] For whoever doesn’t love their brother or sister who they see, cannot love God who they don’t see. {We especially don’t ‘see’ him if we despise rather than love?} 21 And this is the commandment (“instructions”) we have from him - whoever loves God must also love their fellow (person). {The literal - “the one loving God, loves also the brother/sister of them - greek “same womb” of them]. {Aka Eve!}

            🌙 P.M. MARK 8:34-9:1

34 - Jesus called to him the crowd of people, to come and listen, and he told them, “If anyone will follow me, let them deny their self. Take up their cross. And follow after me. 35 For whoever will save their life will ruin it, but whoever lets loose of their life for my sake and the gospel's sake, will save it.

     36 For what does it profit a person to gain the whole world and forfeit their soul?” [Psyxḗ - from psyxō - to breathe, blow, which is the root of the English words psyche and psychology – soul/psyche, a person's distinct identity, unique personhood and individual personality.] {God is Life.. he breathed into Adam and he “became a living soul.”}

     37 “For what can a person give in return for their soul/being? 38 And whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this unfaithful and wrong thinking generation, then also will the Son of man be ashamed of them when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” {‘Forever’ is an assumption. Aion, root of eon, has been changed to forever, along with its adjective aionion (eonian).}

     9:1 - “Truly, I tell you, there are some standing here who won’t taste death until having seen the kingdom of God come with power” (and flourish into a world force?). [Dýnamis - from dýnamai, energy, ability, force.] {Began at Pentecost? And not God’s Kingdom fully come. “The lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow” Isaiah 11:7.}

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

Hebrews 5:5-9  Luke 2:8-20

           ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 5:5-9

5 - Even Christ didn’t exalt himself to be made a high priest! Instead he was appointed by He who said to him, “You are my Son, today I’ve begotten you”. 6 And says in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” {Proving his pre-existence with the Father, as the only straight out from God one, called, forever first/proto. So close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence, same as will saturate and “seal” all creation and humanity. God’s “end-aim” (tel, translated end). How do you keep a paradise intact? An ant farm is no paradise?}

     7 In the days of his {entropic} flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to he who was able to save him from death, and was heard because of his reverence and submission. 8 Although he was a son, through what he suffered, he learned obedience. 9 And being tested as perfect, to all who obey him, he became the source of enduring salvation.

     [Ps.22:27 - All the ends of earth will remember (zakar - be mindful of) and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will praise Him.]

            🌙 P.M. Luke 2:8-20

8 - Not far away that same night, there were shepherds in the field, keeping watch over their sheep. 9 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and the glory of the Lord was shining brightly. The shepherds were filled with fear and wonder.

     10 And the angel said, “Fear not, for listen, I bring you good news, of great joy, that will be for all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you, you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger” (a feeding trough). 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host [stratia - army, band, organized host] praising God, saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest! And his good pleasure, in which he delights, peace on Earth among men!”

     15 When the angels left, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this which the LORD has made known to us!” 16 And they went with haste, and they found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. 17 And when they saw him, they told all which they had heard concerning the child. 18 And all who heard it wondered. 19 But Mary treasured up these things, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them by the angel.

Hebrews 2:9-11  John 21:16-25

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 2:9-11

9 - We see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels! {Remember Melchizidek.} But then we see him crowned with glory and honor because of his suffering of death. By the grace of God, he suffered death for all. 10 For it was fitting, that he, for whom and by whom, all exist, in bringing many to glory, should make the captain [archégos - pioneer] of their salvation [sótéria - deliverance, safety] {tested, tempered to} perfect, through suffering. 11 For he who sanctifies {by his suffering} and those who are sanctified, are all of one. That’s why he’s not ashamed to call them brethren [adelphos - of the same womb, brother, also sister].

            🌙 P.M. John 21:16-25

(Still by the sea) 16 - Jesus said to Peter a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter answered, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”

     17 Then he said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter felt grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” so he said to him, “Lord! You know everything! You know I love you!” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.”

     18 “Truly, I tell you, when you were young, you would dress yourself and go wherever you wanted, but when you’re old, you’ll stretch out your hands, and another will dress you, and carry you where you don’t want to go.” 19 This he said to show by what kind of death he would suffer, but glorify God by. And after saying it, he said, “Follow me.” {Be sure to follow me, and you will be able to feed my sheep nourishing food at the proper time. ..And noT be found confused with the confused, aka with “the world”, noR found of him beating up on other members of the household, the sheep (in word, thought or deed) Mt.24:48-49, but vs.51 would be “separated to” the other role. There are many enchantments? It really doesn’t matter which overcomes? A little leaven leavens the whole lump?}

    20 Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them. (This is how John, the author, referred to himself.) The one who also had leaned back against him during supper that last (supper) night, and said, “Lord, who is it that’s going to betray you?”

     21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?” 22 Jesus said, “If it’s my will he remain until I come, what’s that to you? You follow me.” 23 So after a while the saying spread among the brothers and sisters that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say he wasn’t going to die, but, “If it’s my will he remain until I come, what is that to you?”

     24 This is the disciple who is bearing witness about all these things, and who has written this account of them, and we know his testimony is true. {Saw it with his own eyes.} 25 There are also many other things that Jesus did. But if every one of them were to be written, I suppose the world itself couldn’t contain the books that would be written. {Imagine all that will be accomplished during long second advent! As literal as the first.}

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..

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.]

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

Hebrews 1:1-4  Luke 24:36-48

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 1:1-4 

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 has appointed heir of all. [Pas - all, every, the whole.] Through whom also, he created the ages [aions]. 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory, the exact representation of His being, and sustaining all things by the power of the word [rhéma - word, saying, utterance, matters]. {Thy word is Truth, Jn.17:17. Truth is the only enduring pattern.}

     Through himself he provided purification for sins. {Purifying the conscience, so we are free to be reconciled/friends with God, and fully his, in heart and mind.} He then sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high [hupsélos - high, lofty, exalted] 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 24:36-48

36 - They were still talking about these things (how Peter saw him, and how the two while on their way to Emmaus saw and spoke with him) when Jesus himself stood among them, and said, “Peace to you.”

     37 But they were startled. And frightened, and thought they were seeing a ghost.

     38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why is there doubt in your hearts? 39 See my hands and feet, that it’s I myself. Touch me, and see.

     For a ghost doesn’t have flesh and bones - as you see, I have.”

     40 And he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still could hardly believe for joy and were marveling, he said, “Have you anything to eat?” 42 So they gave him a broiled fish, 43 and he ate it.

     44 Then he said, “These are my words I spoke to you while I was still with you - that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Psalms, and written by the Prophets is to be fulfilled.”

     45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scripture, 46 and he said, “And so it’s written - that Messiah/the Christ would suffer, and on the third day would rise from the dead [nekros - dead, deceased]. 47 And that repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed in his name [onoma - name, authority, cause] to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem. 48 And you’re witnesses of these things.”
