 • Romans 9:27-33  Matthew 13:31-43

           ☀️ Romans 9:27-33

27 - Isaiah cried out concerning Israel, “Though the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, only a remnant will be delivered [sozo - saved, healed, preserved, delivered, rescued] 28 for the Lord will carry out his sentence {cause and effect} upon the earth, fully and without delay.” {We have assumed earthly judgments to be forever and eternal judgments, but the word involved is usually aion, root of eon, and means age, or aionion, of an age. Forever, and afterlife, is assumed due to ancient pre biblical belief.}

    29 And also Isaiah predicted, “If the LORD of hosts had not left us descendants, we would have been like Sodom and become like Gomorrah.” {Awaiting resurrection into GWT judgment/full discernment ‘day’ surely the aionion kolasis / eonian korrection of Mt.25:46.}

     30 What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who didn’t pursue righteousness, have attained it! That is, a righteousness that is by faith. 31 But Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness missed the mark in reaching that goal.

     32 Why? Because they didn’t pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on {their own} works {effort, earning}. They have stumbled over the stone that makes people stumble. {Life is a Gift.} 33 Even as it’s written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock that offends. And whoever believes in him will not be confounded, blamed nor shamed.”

            🌙 Matthew 13:31-43

31 - Jesus told another parable, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed we plant in a garden. 32 It’s the smallest of seeds, but when it grows, it’s larger than all the other plants. So much so, that birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”

     33 And he told yet another parable. “The kingdom is like leaven a woman works into three measures of flour, until - all/the whole is leavened.” {13:33 with 1Corinthians 15:22-28, key word 3. Three Loaves! Three Harvests!! Barley/Christ; the wheat; aNd a grape harvest, Rev.21:5 “pas” means “all” not “all things”. Compare (1Cor.15) 27 to 28! Same word seven times, pas/all, so why only five rendered the inferior “all things”? Disbelief of the genuine message? And also because of ancient spiritual propaganda?}

     34 All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables. He didn’t tell them anything about the kingdom, except by parables. 35 This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet, “I will open my mouth in parables.” {Riddles! Things hidden in plain sight!} “I’ll utter what’s been hidden since the beginning/founding of the world.”

     36 When he left the crowds and went into the house, his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.” 37 So He told them, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world. {The field is the world.} The good seed is the sons and daughters of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons and daughters (still) of the evil one” {this world, under sway of the evil intentioned one}. 39 And the enemy who sowed is the devil.” [Speiró - sow, scatter.]

     “The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40 Just as the weeds are gathered and burned in a fire, so will it be at the end of the age.” {Judgment ‘Day’ is not until much later, Rev.20. There are three mentions of “lake of fire”. Each one is at a huge, fiery and earthly event. Things are being let to run their full course.}

     41 “And the Son of Man will send his angels, and they’ll gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all practicing of lawlessness. 42 They will be thrown into the fiery furnace.” {That fiery furnace, I am convinced is Rev.16:14-15-16, Is.24:20, Rev.10:4, especially considering context.} “There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

MATTHEW 10 27-42

27 - What I tell you in the dark (in quietness, in solitude), say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. 28 And don’t fear those who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul” [psyxḗ - from psyxō - to breathe, blow, which is the root of the English words psyche, psychology – soul (psyche) a person's distinct identity, unique personhood, i.e. individual personality] ["the soul that sins shall die" Ezekiel 18:20]. “Rather fear he who cAn destroy both soul and body in [en - in, on, at, with, among, by] gehenna. {This slow gehenna fade to total fade out, ten four, over and out.. Natural law, God is Life and “is Perfect” Mt.5:48, so imperfect is both entropy and an abyss of potential. But no option to stray in Eden and we’d be an ant farm, so the dis-ease is being let to run its course, and was engineered so “all of heaven (angels) and all of earth” suffer through it all together at once (Eph.1:10). And God, being Life, suffers it all.}

     29 “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father. 30 Even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear noT, therefore, you, are of more value than many sparrows.

     32 Everyone who acknowledges me before men, I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven. {Does not say ‘forever’. Never does, but is “aionion”/eonian.} 34 Don’t think that I’ve come to bring peace to the earth. I’ve not come to bring peace, but a sWord. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 A person's enemies will be those of his own household.

     37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever doesn’t take their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life {hangs on to their own ways before his} will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake, will find it. {God surely(?) has our highest blueprint.} 40 Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives he who sent me. 41 Whoever receives a prophet because they are a prophet will receive a prophet's reward. And whoever receives a righteous person because they are a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward. 42 And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because they are my disciple [mathétés - disciple, learner, pupil] truly, I tell you, they shall noT, by any means, lose their reward.”
