            ☀️ A.M. 3 John 1:1-8

1 - From the elder, to my dear friend Gaius, whom I love in the truth. 2 Beloved, I pray you prosper in all things and be in health, even as your soul [psychē - soul, mind, life, self, inner being] prospers. 3 It makes me very happy when the Lord's followers come by and mention how you are living in the truth. 4 Nothing brings me greater happiness than to hear that my children (in the faith) are obeying the truth.

     5 Dear friend, you have always been faithful in helping other followers of the Lord, even ones you’ve not met before and don’t know. 6 They have told the church of your love. [Church - ekklésia - from ek - out from and to, and kaléō - to call – called out - from the world - and to God - (called out) assembly.] Saying you welcomed them gladly and sent them on their mission with all that they needed. 7 When they left here to tell others about the Lord, they decided not to accept help from anyone but followers of the Lord. 8 And so it’s good we support such as they, so we can share in their labors!

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 9:46-50

46 - The disciples were arguing about which one of them was the greatest. 47 Jesus knew it, so he had a child come and stand beside him. 48  And he said to them, “When you welcome even a child {showing humbleness of spirit?} because of me, you welcome me. And when you welcome me, you welcome the one who sent me. Whichever one of you is the most humble, that’s the one who is greatest.”

     49 John said, “Master, we saw a man using your name to force demons out of people. But we told him to stop, because he isn't one of us.” 50 “Don't stop him,” Jesus said. “Whoever isn't against you, is for you.”

1John 1:1-4  Luke 8:26-39

            ☀️ A.M. 1John 1:1-4

1 John, 2 John and 3 John are letters written by the disciple/apostle John, who also wrote the “Gospel According to John” and the Book of (the) Revelation (vision). He’s the only one of the twelve who lived to an old age, which is when he wrote these letters and received the revelation vision. 

     1Jn.1:1 - That which was from the beginning, which we (apostles) have heard, which we saw with our eyes, and looked upon and have touched with our hands. [After resurrection Jesus said “touch me and see that I have flesh and bones”.] The things concerning the word of life. 2 For the life was made visible [phaneróō - from phṓs - light – properly, illumine, make manifest(visible)]. And we saw it, and testify of it, and proclaim it to you. That’s the life which was with the Father and was made known to us. 3 That which we have seen and heard we declare to you! So that you too may have friendship with God along with us. For indeed our friendship [koinónia] - {association, mutual benefiting, visiting, communion, friendship} is with the Father and with his Son Jesus. 4 And I am writing these things so the joy we all have may be complete and full.

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 8:26-39

26 - After the storm, they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is on the opposite shore from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped out onto land, there met him a man from the city who had many demons. For a long time he hadn’t lived in a house, but lived among the tombs, and he wore no clothing. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, saying in a loud voice, “What have you to do with me! Jesus, you son of the Most High God! I beg of you! Don’t torment me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles. But he would break the bonds and be driven by his demons into the wilderness. 

    30 Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for it was many demons which had entered into him. 31 And they begged him not to order them into the abyss.

     32  A large herd of pigs were feeding on a nearby hillside, so they begged him to let them enter the pigs. And so he let them, 33 and the demons came rushing out of the man and into the pigs, and the herd ran down the steep bank and into the lake and were drowned.

     34 Now when the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran and told everyone in the countryside and in the city. 35 So people went out to see what had happened, and when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at his feet, clothed and in his right mind. And it made them afraid! 36 And those who saw what had happened told everyone else, all that had happened. 37 Then the people asked Jesus to leave, for they were under great fear.

     So he got into the boat and returned to the other side. 38 The man from whom the demons had gone had wanted to go with him, but Jesus said, 39 “Go on home, and tell everyone how much God has done for you.” And so he went on his way, and told throughout the whole region what Jesus had done for him.

Hebrews 9:15-20  Mark 1:35-39

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 9:15-20

15 - Jesus, therefore, is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the enduring inheritance that is promised, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. {Author is Hebrew through and through..? Apollo? Or studied Pharisee Paul?} 16 For where a will {and testament} is involved, there has to be the death of the one who made the will. 17 For a will takes effect only at death. It’s not in force as long as the one who made it is still alive. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood. {The most solemn nonreversible pledge, promise, guarantee.. Old world notarizing. Un-breakable. A blood oath.}  19 For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, “This is the blood of the agreement that God has commanded concerning you.”

            🌙 P.M. Mark 1:35-39

35 -  And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he went out to a lonely place to pray. [“Be still, and know I am God” Ps.46:10. He is. And thAt is fantastic news indeed!! Hello!? ..We are currently entropic, not immortal. So yes, good news indeed.]

     36 Simon (Peter) and those who were with him searched for him, 37 and when they found him, they told him, “Everyone is looking for you.” 38 But he said, “Let’s go on to the next towns, so I may preach there also, for this is why I came.”

     39 And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and casting out demons.

     {Demons are rogue angels [messengers] lying spirits. How to determine true from not, or not quite true? Jesus prayed “Father sanctify them in the Truth, thy logos is Truth” Jn.17:17, boTh the personified logos and the written logos. Logos - reasoning (God’s reasoning.) With language tools! Because translators were under sway of an ancient falsehood.. And some disbelief. Logos is the root word of Logic! Just a very few bad word translations have robbed the message of a good part of its GLORY.

     And we are robbed if we let our heart be hardened against the written logos, or even to the Old Testament. God’s voice has to speak to the worst, most barbaric, and cruelly heartless, not just to the ‘saints’ (if there were any saints, lol, as we think of the word). And pre flood was hands off. And 1st proof - that imperfect is an abyss of potential.. and entropy, “which doesn’t quit”. So “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10 (Jn.12:32). Death is a waiting for resurrection, either “into life” (into long second advent) or into “aionion kolasis” / eonian korrection / age of correction, Jn.5:28,29 and Mt.25:46.}

Hebrews 9:6-10  Luke 4:31-44

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 9:6-10

6 - For the (tabernacle, temple) preparations and rituals, the priests go regularly into the first {entry} section, 7 but into the second interior room, only the high priest goes. And he but once a year. And not without taking blood {strong enough to convince and appease every conscience} which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people. [Annually on Day of Atonement, DOA.] {A “shadow and type” of the real DOA, for the initiaLLy doa.}

     8 By this the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} indicates that the way into the most holy place {his presence} is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing, 9 which is symbolic for the present age.  {This present reality. This entropy! A slow gehenna. We could not endure His Full Presence. Purity consumes impurity. We are still entropic/imperfect - Heb.11:40, 1Cor.15:54.}

     According to the old arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect [teleiōsai] {satisfy} the conscience of the worshiper {once and for all} 10 but it deals only with food and drink and various washings [baptismos] and regulations imposed until the time of restoring [diorthosis - reformation, correction, improvement] {of humanity, which began with Jesus’ first advent, and will be fully completed during his long second advent}.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 4:31-44

31 - Jesus went back to Capernaum of Galilee, and was teaching on the Sabbath. 32 The people were astonished at his teaching, for his words were skillful and spoken with authority. 33 There was a man in the synagogue who had {was contaminated with} the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 “Ha! What have you to do with us?! You Jesus of Nazareth! Have you come to destroy us?! I know who you are! The Holy One of God!”

     35 Jesus said, “Be silent and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown the man down in their midst of them, he came out, and the man suffered no injury.

     36 Amazed, the people were saying, “What is this?! For with authority and power he even commands the unclean spirits, and they obey!” 37 And so reports and word of him went out to all places in the region.

     38 After that, he left the synagogue and went to Simon's house. Simon Peter’s mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, so they appealed to him on her behalf. 39 And he went to her and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose, and she prepared a meal for them.

    40 Later on, when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases, brought them to him. And he healed them by touching and laying his hands on every one of them. 41 And demons also came out of many, crying, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and wouldn’t allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Christ, the Messiah.

    42 On the next day, he went out to a lonely place. But the people looked for him and found him, and were urging him to stay with them, 43 but he said, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well. For this is why I was sent.” 44 And so in those days, he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

If you happened to read yesterday’s gospel reading and study, somehow I got it in a wrong order. It was way out of place. Not shocking, I’m 71 afterall, and I ‘knew’ it, but it was a busy day. ..Don’t you just love reading about Jesus’ days? You should read yesterday’s, I fixed it.

 • Romans 5:6-10  Matthew 9:27-38

            ☀️ Romans 5:6-10

6 - For while we were still weak, at the appointed time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person, though perhaps for a good person one would dare to. 8 But God - shows his love for us - in that while we were still sinners [hamartólos - missing the mark] Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, we have been justified [dikaioó - justified, acquited] by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. {Imo, cause and effect. Greek orge - passion — cause and effect as opposed to creation as some sort of cardboard replica/ant farm? Imperfection (entropy) is an abyss of potential. Christ Crucified is strong enough to appease eveRy conscience. {See “Crime and Punishment" - Dostoevsky}

     10 So if it was while we were (all) at odds with God, that we were reconciled to him by the death of his Son {Jn.12:32, now or later, wheat and tares, two roles} how much more, now that we aRe reconciled, shall we be saved - by his Life?

            🌙 Matthew 9:27-38 

27 - And as Jesus was leaving from there, two blind men were following him and crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” 28 When he entered the house, the blind men came in, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe I’m able to do this?” They said, “Yes, Lord.”

     29 Then he touched their eyes, and said, “According to your faith so be it.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus warned them, “See that no one knows about this.” 31 But they went out and spread his fame throughout all the district.

     32 As they were leaving, a demon-oppressed man, suffering and mute, was brought to him. 33 And when the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds marveled, saying, “Never has anything like this been seen in Israel!” 34 But the Pharisees said, “He casts out the demons by the prince of demons!”

     35 Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in the synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and affliction. 36 He cared about and had compassion on the crowds, for they were harassed and helpless, and like sheep with no shepherd. {The world has been returning to.} 37 He told his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful. But the laborers are few. 38 Pray earnestly to the LORD of the harvest, that he will send out laborers into his harvest.” {“Lovest thou me?” he asked. “Feed my sheep.” Jn.21:15, for effective laborers.}

[2Thessalonians 1:8,7 - “…when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels 8 in a fire of flame, inflicting [didómi - to give - in various senses lit. or fig. includes allowing, yielding, granting, pouring — permitting] vengeance [ekdikésis - vindication, defense, avenging, pay back “full” and “complete”] on those who do not know God and who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. {Complete cause and effect; the culmination of history. Conclusion and end of the story, Mt.13:30 - “Let both” - the wheat and the tares, psuedo wheat, which we all were - “grow together until the harvest, and at the harvest I will tell the reapers, ‘Gather the weeds - first, and bind them in - bundles - to be burned’ {weeds are cast into a bonfire, not an eternal ‘hell’ Rev.16:14-15-16} ‘and then, gather the wheat into my barn.” [Cross regerence - Rev.16:14,16–“..demons performing signs ..to the kings of earth gathering them for battle.. and assembled them at Armageddon” at Gehenna Valley.]

     Rev.11:15 - And then the seventh angel blew his trumpet. And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world is now the kingdom of our LORD, and of his Christ. And he shall reign forever and ever.”

     16 And the twenty-four elders who were sitting on thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying, “We give thanks to you! LORD God Almighty! Who is and who was, for you’ve taken your great power and have begun to reign. 18 The nations raged” (Ps.2 and 2nd horseman of the apocalypse/2nd seal/element of the age) “but your wrath came.” [Wrath - orgé - wrath, vengeance, from orgáō, "to teem, swelling up to oppose, a fixed, controlled, passionate feeling against, a settled indignation.] {His wrath is cause and effect? “His” because it is HE who created a cause and effect universe. Consequences, life as we presently know it, this all important contrast and gehenna crucible, that flares up into judgments, results — versus creation as an ant farm?}

     “And the time [kairos - time, season] came for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and to destroy [diaphtheiró - from dia - intensive, through and through, and diaphthorá - thorough decay] those destroying earth.” (Imo, spiritually destroying.) 19 Then God's temple in heaven was opened {I always think split, the word anoigó, does include broken, open}. And the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and great hail.

      (Isaiah 24:20) - the higher and faster moisture rises, the larger and greater the hail. And surely(?) it’s thermonuclear lightning.. rumbling and thunder.. “seven thunders”? Counting the first occurrence which was Rev. 13:13 in the third telling of the vision - but the occurrence pinpointed an office, not yet an individual. Which was also the first seal six occurrence, but it’s veiled by the seals being described at the beginning of the vision, as their full and entire effects, first to very last. This also veils much of the entire vision. Kudos to any understanding any of us has had! — Next week we begin the second telling of the vision, which is Revelation chapter 12. All three end, and rejoin, at the 7th trumpet’s sounding.. “The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our LORD and of his Christ.”

21 - Jesus, with his disciples, went into Capernaum, and on the Sabbath went into the synagogue and was teaching. 22 The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one {very learned} who had authority, and not as the scribes.

     23 There was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24 “What have you to do with us!? Jesus of Nazareth! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” 25 But Jesus said, “Be silent, and come out of him!” 26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out. 27 And they were all amazed, and questioned among theirselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!” 28 And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.

     29 Then he left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Immediately they told him Simon's mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, 31 so he came and took her by the hand, helped her up, and the fever left her. Then she got up and began to make a meal for them.

     32 That same evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons. 33 So many, the whole city was gathered together at the door! 34 And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons and would not let them speak, because they knew who he was.

GospeL Verses ~ Luke 9:1-9

1 - Jesus called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over demons and to cure diseases. 2 And he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal. 3 And he told them, “Take nothing for your journey, no staff or bag, no bread or money, and no second tunics. 4 And whatever house you enter, stay there, until you leave. 5 And wherever they don’t receive you, when you leave that town shake the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.” 6 And so they went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing.

     7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was puzzled, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead, 8 by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen. 9 Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.

                ~ 1John 2:23-29 ~

23 - Anyone who denies the Son does not have the Father. But whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. 24 Let what you heard from the beginning stay with you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you - will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he made to us, enduring life.

26 I write these things to you because there are those who are trying to mislead you. 27 But if the anointing of him that you received abides in you, then you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true. And so it is no lie - just as it has taught you - abide in him. 28 And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink back from him at his coming. 29 If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

GospeL Verses ~ Mark 1:21-34

21 - And in Capernaum, on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching. 22 And the people were astonished, for he taught as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 23 And suddenly there was in the synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24 “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” 25 But Jesus rebuked him, “Be silent, and come out of him!” he said. 26 And the unclean spirit, convulsed the man, cried out with a loud voice, and then came out of him. 27 And the people were all amazed, so they said among themselves, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!” 28 And at once his fame spread all throughout the surrounding region of Galilee.

      29 After that Jesus left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon's mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and they told him about her. 31 And he came and took her by the hand and sat her up, and the fever left her, and she got up and prepared them a meal.

      32 And that evening as the sun was going down they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons. 33 And the whole town was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew who he was.

                ~ Hebrews 9:11-14 ~

11 - But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent, one not built by man, that is not of this world, 12 he entered once for all into the holy place, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus having obtained an eternal redemption. 13 For if the sprinkling of the blood of goats and bulls, and ashes of a heifer sanctified and purified, 14 how much more the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself (a lamb) without blemish, purify our conscience, from dead works to serve the living God.

          Luke 8:26-39

26 Jesus and his disciples sailed across Lake Galilee and came to shore near the town of Gerasa. 27 As Jesus was climbing out of the boat, a man who was possessed by demons (angels gone rogue) came out to meet him. For a long time he had been homeless and naked, living in the tombs outside of town. 28 As soon as he saw Jesus, he shrieked and fell down in front of him. Then he screamed, “Why are you interfering with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Please, I beg you not to torment me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.

     30 Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him. 31 And they begged him not to banish them to the abyss. 32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. So the demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and Jesus let them go. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned. 34 When the herdsmen saw it, they fled to the nearby town and the surrounding countryside, spreading the news as they ran. 35 People rushed out to see what had happened. A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, and they saw the man who had been freed from the demons. He was sitting at Jesus’ feet, fully clothed and perfectly sane, and this frightened them. 36 Then all who had seen the man healed told about it. 37 But fear still swept through them, and they asked Jesus to leave their territory, so he got into the boat and started back. 38 The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him. But Jesus sent him home, saying, 39 "Go back home and tell everyone how much God has done for you." The man then went all over town, telling everything that Jesus had done for him.

          (In Order Written)

          ~ 1 John 1:1-4 ~

(Written by John, one of Jesus’ twelve disciples, now an old man.)

1 - We (apostles and other disciples/followers) proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, which we heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word [logos - reasoning expressed in words] (so also Truth expressed in Jesus, the word) of life. [Jesus is called “the first/proto” among other things, he’s the prototype.. Only straight out from God one, so close both Father and Son can administer God’s Spirit/Presence. He is also called “the seed” which God is implanting in all. ..How else to have genuinely able to think and reason beings - both angelos (accelerators of this all playing out) and anthropos (mankind) - aNd keep paradise/perfection intact? As thinking includes at least some power of choice.] 2 The life appeared. And we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life (perfection embodied) which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 3 We are telling you what we have seen and heard, so you may share in this life with us. And we share in it (our friendship is) with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things we write, so that our own joy might be complete!

Angels and Demons

There may be twice as many faithful angels as there are fallen angels, but the demons are criminally insane. [And they still are "legion" / lots..]

As A Used To Be Astrologer..

I find it hard to remain silent if I see a glaring untruth or its byproduct, bigotry (being built). As a used to be astrologer, I can still see trends, movements, energies.. but now as a Christian I see them as entities, those ancient pitiless 'gods'. Maybe that's why ancient astrology was seen as being for politics!
