 Jude 1:1-6  Jn.20:1-18 Mt.28:1-10

            ☀️ A.M. Jude 1:1-6

1 - Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James (both half brothers of Jesus). To those who are called, who are beloved in God the Father and kept in Jesus Christ:

     2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you! 3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all, originally, delivered! 4 For certain ones have by stealth, come in. Their ungodliness and corrupt state was written of long ago. They change the grace of our God into permission for loose and perverse living, denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

     5 Now I want to remind you, although all once fully knew it, that the Lord, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn’t believe. {Transplanted as into a not yet watered garden plot, to rise into the aionion kolasis / eonian korrection / age of correction. Jn.5:28,29 with Mt.25:46 but aionion kolasis has been translated to read everlasting punishment - instead of “eonian korrection”.} 

     6 And also, the angels who left their proper place [Rev.12:4] he has kept in aionion chains {met-a-phor} of darkness until the judgment {during} the great day.

     {During the “last great day” ..the “8th day”/millennium, Rev.20.}

            🌙 P.M. Jn.20:1-18 Mt.28:1-10

1 - Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw the stone had been taken away from the tomb. [During Spring holy week, the third holy day, is Firstfruits. Which Firstfruits always follows the regular weekly Sabbath. Jesus died on Passover, was in the grave for 1st Unleavened Bread Day, and rose (3days later) on Firstfruits. And the Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost, Enabler, Presence of God, was poured out upon/to the believers on Pentecost.]

     2 So Mary ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved (John referred to himself this way) and said to them, “They’ve taken the Lord! And “we” don’t know where they’ve laid him.”

     3 So Peter went with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb, 4 both of them running together. But the other disciple outran Peter, and reached the tomb first. 5 And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he didn’t go in.

     6 Then Simon Peter came and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, 7 and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself.

     8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed. 9 For as yet they didn’t understand the Scripture, that he would rise from the dead. 10 Then the two went back to their homes.

     11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and one at the feet. 13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said, “They have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have lain him.” 14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus, but she didn’t know it was him.

     15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who is it you are seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have lain him, and I’ll take him away.”

     16 Jesus said, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means Teacher. 17 Jesus told her, “Don’t hang onto me, for I’ve not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them I’m ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” 18 So she went to the disciples and announced, “I’ve seen the Lord!” And she told them what he had said to her.

    MT. 28:1 — (Eyewitness accounts always differ, especially as time has passed.) Now after the Sabbath, toward dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord having descended from heaven, indeed came and rolled back the stone, and he was sitting on the stone.

     3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. 4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He’s not here. He is risen, as he said he would. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee. And you will see him there, just as I now tell you.”

     8 So they went quickly from the tomb with awe and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 And behold, Jesus met them on the way, and said, “Greetings! [Chairó! - rejoice, be glad, be joyful, a greeting and salutation.] And they fell and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said, “Don’t be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”

04-02 - Eph-5 Mt-20

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

 • Ephesians 5:17-27  Matthew 20:17-28 and ACTS 20:1-16 separately

            ☀️ Ephesians 5:17-27

17 -  Therefore don’t be senseless, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 Don’t get drunk with wine, in which is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit! 19 Talking with one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Be happy! Sing songs and make melody to the Lord!

     20 Always give thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name [onoma - authority, character, cause, name] of our Lord Jesus Christ. 21 Submit yourselves to one another in reverence of him. [Submit is hypotássō which is from hypó - under, and tássō - arrange.] {What works best? All considering self as under.. or all considering selves as over? It does like all things, include Logic, root word of which is Logos. In the Light of God’s radiance, aLL will thoroughly judge their self. And self, the human psyche, can be very harsh indeed.. to beating self up with many stripes.. until Christ Crucified, strong enough to appease every conscience, is realized.. Imagine having been a cruel and heartless despot, oppressing, torturing, raping and killing many.. or having been a sex trafficker of children.. Can we imagine ultimately the heart and gut wRenching remorse?! Imperfection is an abyss of potential. And entropy.. the worm in our ‘apple’ that “does not quit”.}

     22 Wives to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife like Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in all things to their husbands. {Hypotasso, peaceful arrangement.}

     25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself for ‘her’, 26 that he might sanctify ‘her’ the church/the people, having cleansed them by the washing of the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. {Radiant.} That the church/people might be holy, and without blemish. {It’s not by effort, lol, as if! But is God’s work in us, Heb.11:40! We have one rule, love God. If we genuinely do, we wiLL love and have genuine affection for our fellow person. And not just those like myself.}

            🌙 Matthew 20:17-28

17 - As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and said, 18 “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the leaders, the chief priests and scribes, and they’ll condemn him to death. 19 They’ll deliver him over to the Gentiles/nations (via Rome) to be mocked and flogged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day.”

     20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee [John and James] came up to him with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him a favor. 21 He asked her, “What do you seek?” She said to him, “Tell me these two sons of mine will sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left, in your kingdom.” 22 Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you’re asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I’m to drink?” They said to him, “We’re able.” 23 He said, “You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it’s for those for whom it’s been prepared by my Father.”

     24 And when the other ten disciples heard of it, they were indignant at the other two. 25 But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 26 It’s not so among you. For whoever would be great among you must be as a servant. 27 And whoever would be first among you, must be as a slave. 28 Even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many [polus - multitude].” [1Tim.2:6 - who gave himself as a ransom for all (pas) which has been revealed at the proper time. 1Cor.15:22-24,28 w/ Mt.13:33, key word three, barley, wheat, grape. 27,28 is five times “pas”. Mt.13:30 is Rev.16:14-15-16 and Mt.25:1-13(10).]

03-01 - Ro-15 Mt-16

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

 • Romans 15:1-7  Matthew 16:13-20

           ☀️ Romans 15:1-7

1 - We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the weakness [asthenéma - weakness, infirmity, doubt, hesitation] of the weaker. It’s not a matter of pleasing ones self.

     2 But let each of us please our neighbor, for their good, to build them up. 3 For Christ didn’t please himself, but as it’s written, “The insults of those who insult you, fell upon me.” 4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction and guidance. The encouragement - of the Scriptures - {see note below, translation errors due to partial dis-belief?} is that we might have hope [elpis - (hope) expectation, trust, confidence]. 5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in union with Jesus, 6 that together you may with one voice glorify God, the Father of our Lord Jesus. 7 Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you! For the cause of promoting the glory (glorious renown) of God.

  List of Some Translation Errors ~~ Added to God’s riddles/hiding things in plain sight, has made things difficult. 

     ~~ Changed “all” whenever possible, to “all things” yes, in Rev.21:5. Also Eph.1:10, Jn.13:3, and more. In 1Cor.15:27, five times! And so repeating what 5 times? But not in verse 28, because “that God be all things in all things” just doesn’t quite get it.. Nor in 2Tim.3:16, for example “all scripture for training”.

     ~~ Often rendered not into never

and aion/eon into forever. And aionion/eonian as eternal instead of “of an age” and pertaining to an age or space of time.

     ~~ Translating hamartia - missing the mark,

as “sin” (trespass) misses the mark a little, as hamartia means - missing the mark. (Imperfect ..Whereas, God is Life, and “is perfect” Mt.5:48, a conundrum for imperfect/missing the mark. “The wage/effect/result of missing the mark” is..? But no option to stray in Eden, and creation would have to be an ant farm? So “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10. Being Life God suffers everything.) 

     ~~ Of course five separate words were turned into ‘hell’, even pit when “dust of” is in the verse - Ps.30:9. The three mentions of lake of fire are at very large (actually huGe) fiery events. Not very understandable in 95 CE or thereabouts, Is.24:20/Rev.10:4 (Ps.91,46,23, Rev7:15-17)

            🌙 Matthew 16:13-20

13 - As they were coming into the district of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14 And they answered, “Some say you’re John the Baptist, others say Elijah, or Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 And he said, “But who do you say I am?” 16 Peter answered, “You are the Christ!” {Christos - Anointed One, Messiah} “Son of the living God!” {Only straight out from the Father, so close both admininister His Spirit/Presence, same as will saturate and “seal” all creation and humanity.}

     17 “You are blessed, Simon (Peter) Bar-Jonah/Son of Jonah” Jesus said. “For no one has told you this. My Father in heaven has shown it to you. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock” {belief, knowing, Peter means rock} “I will build my church, and the gates of hell will noT prevail against it.” {Likely was speaking Aramaic, so gates of sheol “where there is no doing or knowing” (awareness) Eccles.9:5,10. “Oh death, where is thy sting!?” 1Cor.15:55}

      19 “I will give to you {disciples/followers following} the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind upon earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose upon earth shall be loosed in heaven.” {The mature state, when God’s Spirit/Presence flows cleanly through us without our various impediments, of corners and shadows? Thus flows fully outward with healing, repairing, able to make whole, according to God’s blueprint. That God is Life and “is perfect” (Mt.5:48) means nothing imperfect can endure.} 20 Then he strictly charged them to tell no one that he was the Christ.

09-30 - Galatians 1 1-5

paraphrased ‘enter the story’

   🕊️reading & study 🕊️

1 - From Paul, an apostle—not appointed by men nor any man, but appointed by Jesus Christ, and by God the Father, who raised him from the dead. 2 And from all the brothers who are with me {was a man’s world.. but in Eden, God to Eve was not pronouncing a curse, but was prophesying that the stronger would rule the not as strong. I can’t speak concerning other faiths, but Christianity has a tendency to remove that curse (effect from a cause). The cause being imperfection, an abyss of potential. Which all genuinely able to think and reason beings would be bound to drift into that condition of imperfect - so! God engineered it so this unavoidable journey through this all important contrast would be universally one and done! God had two choices for creation? Ant Farm, or Total ‘herd’ Immunity? God iS Life so witnesses and lives through all things that ever occur? And created thinking beings anyway!}

   To the believers of Galatia {& all of us}

3 Grace to you! And peace from God our Father. And from the Lord Jesus, 4 who gave himself for our sins [hamartia - sin, failure, missing the mark] {imperfection/entropy} in order to deliver us from this present evil {including from imperfection/entropy’s final result}. Delivered and rescued, according to the will of our God and Father, 5 to whom is the glory forever. Amen.
