            ☀️ Romans 4:9-13

(Paul continues his theme. Circumcision was a sign and pledge to follow Moses’ society preservative “Laws”. He goes on later to say it represents the circumcision of the heart. {Both individual and collective.})

     9 - Is this blessing then only for the circumcised? Or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that - faith - was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness. 10 How then was it reckoned to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was before. 11 He received circumcision as a sign. A seal (proof, guarantee) to him, of the righteousness that was his by faith, while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised (everyone not Hebrew) so that righteousness would be reckoned to them as well. 12 And to make him the father of the circumcised, who are not only circumcised but also walk in the footsteps of the faith our father Abraham walked in, and before he was circumcised. {Walking in now, before the self first and foremost is fully removed/circumcised from humanity. Each person perfected in one of two (partially collective) vivifications.}

     13 For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world, didn’t come through the law but (as a gift) through the righteousness of faith. {Like? Here’s the Gift. Take it.}

     {If circumcision is done on the “8th day” - why not the eighth MILLENNIAL ‘day’ for humanity. Note : It was an accelerated big bang into the universe as is. Then, it was set into motion.. And during the 8th day (millenium) of it, the “last great day” (Lev.23:36, Jn.7:37) is what?

     What follows “the” millennium? Rev.20. is told like describing the crests of waves..}

            🌙 Matthew 8:28-34

28 - And when Jesus came to the other side of the lake, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs. They were so fierce that no one could pass by that way. 29 And they cried out in loud voices, “What have you to do with us! O Son of God! Have you come here to torment us before the time!”

     30 Now a large herd of pigs was feeding in a field nearby. 31 And the demons said, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs!” 32 And he said, “Go.” So they came out of the men and went into the pigs. And squealing loudly, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea. And they drowned in the waters.

     33 The herdsmen who saw it, fled. And going into the city they told everything that had happened. 34 And all the city came out to see. And then they asked Jesus to go away.  {A living parable.. like life itself.}

 • Romans 2:17-29  Matthew 6:1-21 and Rev. 14:14-20 separately

            ☀️ Romans 2:17-29

{The leaders plotted and contrived and had Jesus executed. Power corrupts? Draws the disingenuous? So power gets highjacked?}

17 - If you call yourself a Hebrew {teacher} and rely on your standing, and boast in God, 18 and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you’re instructed in what’s written, 19 and if you’re sure you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having the embodiment of knowledge and truth, 21 - you then - who teach others, do you learn as well? While you preach against stealing - do you steal? 22 One must not commit adultery - do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols - do you rob temples? {Fraud programs for orphans and widows, for the handicapped and those after misfortunes, etc.} 23 If your boast is in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? {Today, our boast is in “the way” - do we bear bad fruit by not actually following it?} 24 For, as it’s written, “The name of God is blasphemed among the nations because of you!”

    25 For {example} circumcision [part of the Old Covenant/Agreement of following closely the society preservative 10 Laws of Moses] indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision is the same as no circumcision. {The present state of self first and foremost, is being removed (circumcised) from off of humanity by this one&done, unavoidable contrast. This imperfection/entropy, the dis-ease as part of the cure and immunity will be fully completed - “sealed” - during the “8th day”/millennium, second half of, see Rev.20.}

     26 So, if one who is uncircumcised keeps the requirements of the law - will not their uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? 27 Then the one who is physically uncircumcised but keeps the law, will condemn you who have the written code, and circumcision, but you break the law! 28 For no one is a Hebrew only outwardly, nor is the circumcision outward and physical. 29 But a Hebrew is one inwardly. And circumcision is of the heart. And is by the Spirit{/Presence of God} - not, by the law {earned}. For the praise is not from man. But from God.

            🌙 Matthew 6:1-21

(Jesus continues his teaching of the people at the side of the hill.) 1 - “Be careful not to do your kindnesses in front of others to be seen by them, for then you won’t be rewarded {blessed} by your Father in heaven. {And then we’re not really being kind but are trying to make ourself look good? For whatever reason.} 2 If you help someone or give to someone in need, don’t sound a trumpet before you! As the hypocrites do in the meeting places and in the streets, so they’ll be praised by others. Truly, I tell you, they have received their reward. 3 So if you give to someone in need, or give to charity, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. 4 Then your giving will be in secret and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. 5 Likewise when you pray. Don’t be like the hypocrites. For they like to stand and pray in the meetings and at the street corners, so others will see them praying. Truly, they’ve received their reward. 6 So when you pray, go to your room and shut the door and pray to your Father, and your Father, who’s hidden, and sees the hidden, will reward you.

     7 And when you pray, don’t repeat empty words, thinking you’ll be heard for your many {practiced} words. 8 Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 Pray from your heart like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, great is your name! [Onoma - name, reputation, cause]. 10 May your kingdom come! And your will be done, upon earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread, 12 and forgive us our debts and failings, as we forgive those of others. 13 And let us not be led into temptation, but deliver us from evil.’

     14 For if you forgive others their trespasses {including errors of view (politics) or doctrine (religion) etc?} your heavenly Father will forgive you. 15 But if you don’t forgive others {hold grudge in our heart? against others? ☠️ World and “the accuser” always working diligently to divide, cause wars, horrors, sufferings..} then neither will your Father forgive you.

     16 When you fast, don’t put on a long face like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so their fasting will be seen by others. Truly, I tell you, they’ve received their reward. 17 But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face, 18 so your fasting won’t be seen by others, but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

     19 Don’t lay up for yourselves earthly treasure, where moth and rust destroys, and where thieves can break in and steal. 20 But lay up for yourselves eternal treasure, which neither moth nor rust destroys and thieves cannot break into and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, that’s where your heart is.”

☀️ (Practical matters, continued) 8 - To the unmarried and widows I think it’s good for them to remain single, as I (Paul) am. 9 But if they haven’t self-control, they should marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.

     10 To the married I give this charge, not I, but the Lord, the wife shouldn’t separate from her husband 11 but if she does, she should remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband, and the husband should not divorce his wife.

     12 To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to remain with him, he should not divorce her. 13 If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he’s happy to remain with her, she should not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband will be influenced by his wife, and the unbelieving wife will be influenced by her husband. Otherwise your children would be unduly influenced, but as it is, they will be influenced by you. 15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not bound. God has called you to peace. 16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will deliver to Jesus your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will deliver to Jesus your wife?

     17 Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to them, and to which God has called them, a good rule in all the churches. 18 Was anyone at the time of his call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the circumcision. Was anyone at the time of his call uncircumcised? Let him not seek to be circumcised. 19 For neither (the physical) circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the instructions of God.

     {Note: circumcision was on “the 8th day”. It represents the spiritual circumcision of the heart ..no longer self as first and foremost, etc - The collective circumcision of mankind (and angelkind) will be completed during the 8th millennium of this creation - see if I’m wrong -> Rev.20. But the chapter is like describing the crests of waves and not much of the in between. ..It was a biG bang into the universe as is, then, was set in motion with two outlines running - the week plus one. And within that outline (wheel within a wheel) the ancient holy days of Leviticus 23 as representing Jesus’ two advents.}

     20 Each one should remain in the condition in which they were called. 21 Were you a bondservant when called? Don’t be concerned about it. But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity. [It was a money or land lending system.] 22 For the one who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is free in the Lord! Likewise the one who was free when called is a bondservant of Christ. 23 You were bought with a price. It’s better not to become bondservants of men.

1 - Finally, my brethren! Rejoice in the Lord!

To repeat these things to you is no trouble to me! And it’s safety for you.

     2 Look out for the dog eat dogs {don’t be like them} look out for the evildoers, for those who mutilate the flesh. 3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus and we put no confidence in our own efforts {to save us out from death}. 4 Though I actually could boast and have confidence in those things that are esteemed among man, I could boast more than others! 5 I was circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews. As to the law, a Pharisee. 6 As to zeal, a persecutor of the church!  {“The world” dislikes Christianity and Christians, also Hebrews/Jewish people.} As to righteousness under the law, blameless. 7 But whatever standing I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

                    (paraphrased)

10 - But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then Jesus went up also, not openly but quietly. 11 The people were looking for him at the feast, and saying, “Where is he?” 12 And there was much undercurrent of talking about him among the people. While some said, “He’s a good man,” others said, “No, he’s leading the people astray.” 13 Yet for fear of the leaders no one spoke openly. {Social intimidation.}

     14 At about the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple and began to teach. 15 The people marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?” 16 So Jesus said, “My teaching is not from me, but is the teaching of the one who sent me. 17 Anyone who wants to do God's will, will know if the teaching is from God, or whether what I speak is from myself. 18 The one who speaks from their self seeks their own glory. But the one who seeks the glory of he who sent him is genuine, and in him there is no falsehood. 19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. For why do you seek to kill me?” 20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?” 21 Jesus answered, “I did one work, and you all marvel at it. 22 Moses gave you circumcision, not that it was from Moses, but from the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well? 24 Don’t judge by the superficial, but judge with {deeper} right judgment.”

20 - The leaders watched Jesus. They sent spies, pretending to be sincere, so they might catch him in something he said, and could deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the Roman governor. 21 So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality, but teach the true way of God. 22 Is it lawful for us to pay tribute/taxes to Caesar, or not?” [To deny Caesar was punishable by death.] 23 But he knew their trickery. 24 “Show me a denarius,” he said. “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said, “Caesar's.” 25 He said, “Then render to Caesar that which is Caesar's, and to God that which is God's.” 26 They were not able to catch him in his words. Marveling at his answer they became silent.

9 - A little leaven (in this case, untruth) leavens the whole lump. 10 I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view, and the one who is troubling you will bear the consequences, whoever it is. 11 But if I were still preaching circumcision/the Law, why am I being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed. 12 I wish those who unsettle you would go all the way and emasculate theirselves!

     13 For you were called to freedom. Only don’t use your freedom as an opportunity for the selfish nature and transgression, but through love serve one another. 14 BECAUSE the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another!
