08-14 - 1John 3 3-9 Mark 6 30-45

verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

(8TH ‘DAY’ Studies)


            ☀️ A.M. 1John 3:3-9

3 - Everyone who is hoping [elpis - expects, hopes] in him purifies their self as he is pure [hagnos - free of contamination].

     4 Anyone who makes a practice of doing wrong is practicing lawlessness. For sin [hamartia - missing the mark, doing wrong] is lawlessness. 5 You know that he appeared in order to take away all missing the mark {and lawlessness}. And in him there is no sin/missing the mark/imperfection. 6 No one who abides in him, keeps doing wrong, or they have not seen him nor known him. (Which equates to “I never knew you”?)

     7 Little children, don’t let anyone mislead you. Whoever practices doing right is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil [diabolos - in secular Greek means "backbiter," i.e. an accuser (slanderer) diábolos is literally someone who "casts through," i.e. making charges that bring down (destroy) from diaballó - to bring charges with hostile intent] for the devil has been doing wrong from the beginning. {Of creation. God’s patience is shown by his waiting for the first bound to occur rebel thought to not only occur, but to ripen into outright sedition. So “all in heaven and earth” (man and angel) would take this unavoidable journey/lesson all together at once.}

     It’s for this reason the Son 

of God appeared and was revealed, to destroy 

[luó - loose, release, dissolve] the works [érgon - work, deed (action) that carries out and completes the intention and purpose] of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning. God's seed abides in them and they cannot keep on sinning, because they have been born of God.


            🌙 P.M. Mark 6:30-45

30 - After being sent out, the apostles [apostolos - sent ones] returned and told Jesus all they had done and taught. 31 And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to be alone and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no opportunity even to eat. 32 So they went in the boat to a place alone. 33 But many who were there from all the towns, saw them going and ran ahead on foot and got there before them. {Now that’s enthusiasm, I’m totaLLy convinced, his so brief first advent is a small replica of his long second advent!}

     34 When they reached shore, there was a great crowd, and Jesus had compassion, because they were like sheep with no shepherd. And so he taught them many things.

     35 When it grew late, his disciples came and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is late. 36 Should we send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages to find food?” 37 But he answered, “You feed them.” So they said, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread?” 38 And he said, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And so they did, and they came back and said, “Five, and two fish.”

     39 Then he told all sit down in groups on the grass. 40 So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and fifties. 41 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, said a blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to hand out to the people. And he divided also the two fish among them all.

     42 And they were all satisfied. {Ultimately all of us, with what he teaches us and feeds us. The sheep of his pasture.} 43 And they took up twelve baskets full of leftover pieces of bread and fish. 44 And those who ate the loaves were about five thousand.

     45 Then he had his disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he stayed and sent the people away to their homes.

06-15 - From Heb-2 Lk-24 Mk-16

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

Hebrews 2:15-18  Lk.24:49-53, Mk.16:19,20

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 2:15-18

[14 - Since the sons and daughters are flesh and blood, Jesus {“forever first” and the firstborn Son} took on flesh and blood to be like them. He did this so that by dying he would destroy death and the one holding/using its strength, the devil, Greek “diabolos” - “accuser, slanderer in order to cause harm”] 15 - and so, to deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to a life of captivity. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham.

     17 Therefore it was due benevolence [opheiló - owed, was indebted, an obligation] to be like the brothers and sisters in every respect - in order to - be a merciful and faithful high priest in His service to God, and to satisfy the debt [hilaskomai - satisfy debt, pay bill, gain or regain the goodwill or favor of, to appease, atone] for the sins [hamartía - noun derived from A - not, and méros - a part, share of – properly, no-share, no part of, loss (forfeiture) because not hitting the target, sin, missing the mark] of the people.  {Ro.11:32 - “God has consigned all to disobedience that he may have mercy upon all.” I’m convinced what needs appeasing is the human conscience.}

      18 And because he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. {Big ‘winds’ these days.. We can be tempted to join the accuser, and the ideas, trends/spirits of “the world”.}


            🌙 P.M. Lk.24:49-53, Mk.16:19,20

49 - “Look” Jesus said, “I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But wait in the city (Jerusalem) until you’re clothed with power from on high.”

     50 Then walking with them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands Jesus blessed them. 51 And while he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven. 52 Then they worshiped, and went back to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And were continually in the temple praising God.

     MARK 16:19 - So then the Lord Jesus, having spoken with them, was taken up into heaven. And he sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they (followers, witnesses) went out and told the message everywhere. And the Lord worked with them, confirming the message with signs [sémeions - miracles, signs, tokens, wonders].

06-05 - From Jude-1 Mt-28

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

 Jude 1:7-13  Matthew 28:11-15

            ☀️ A.M. Jude 1:7-13

7 - Like Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, they indulge in sexual immorality and pursue unnatural desires. And those cities are an example of the penalty of the fire aionion suffering [hupechó - enduring, undergoing, suffering.] [Aion - is the root word of eon, but has been translated as forever, everlasting, etc.] {Of an age, and time, fire?}

      8 In the same way these dreamers, pollute themselves, set aside authority [kuriotés - dominion, lordship, authority] and blaspheme [blasphémeó - speak evil of] celestial powers.

     9 But even when the archangel Michael, reasoned and disputed with the devil [diabolos - accuser, slanderer] about the body of Moses, he didn’t presume to pronounce an insulting judgment {didn’t accuse and slander} but said, “The LORD rebuke you.”

     10 But these {influencers} insult everything they don’t understand, and corrupt themselves with the unreasonable animal instincts they do understand. 11 Woe to them! For they walk in the way of Cain (!) and abandon themselves to Balaam's error for reward [prophesying/teaching what the world wanted to hear] and perish in Korah's rebellion.

     12 These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast {celebrate} with you, without fear themselves shepherding, clouds without water, by winds carried about, autumn trees without fruit, twice dead/perished {doubly accursed} and uprooted, 13 wild waves of the sea, foaming out shame, wandering stars, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved to {or for?} the age [aion]. [To or for - eis - into, to, towards, for, in order to.]


            🌙 P.M. Matthew 28:11-15

11 - While the women were going {Jesus having revealed his resurrected self to the women} some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests (leaders) what had happened. 12 And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sum of money to the soldiers 13 and said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14 And if this comes to the governor's ears, we’ll talk to him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So they took the money and did as they were told. And this story has been spread among the nation to this day.
