8Th ‘Day’ Study, verses R paraphrased [ref] {thots}
Hebrews 12:11-14 Mark 3:20-35 and ACTS 7:1-16 separately
☀️ A.M. Hebrews 12:11-14
11 - Correction seems painful and unpleasant when it’s happening, but its training yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. 12 Therefore lift the drooping hands! Strengthen the weak knees! 13 And make straight paths for your feet! So that what’s lame won’t quit all together, but will, instead, be healed.
14 Strive for peace with all, and strive for holiness [hagiasmós - noun derived from hágios - holy, sanctification - the process of advancing in holiness, being progressively transformed by the Lord into His likeness and similarity of nature] without which no one perceives the LORD.
🌙 P.M. Mark 3:20-35
20 - Then Jesus went home where they were staying, his disciples with him, but again a large crowd gathered, so many so, that they couldn’t even eat. 21 And when his family heard of it, they set out to take hold of him and take him with them, for they said to one another, “He is beside himself!”
22 Meanwhile, the scribes who came down from Jerusalem had been saying, “He’s possessed by Beelzebul! It’s by the prince of demons that he casts out demons!”
23 So he called them over and said to them, “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, won’t that kingdom fall? 25 And if a house is divided against itself, it can’t remain intact and endure. {Vs.27}
26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, well then his kingdom is coming to an end.” {As will occur at Armageddon battle? A falling out? Isaiah24:20/Rev.20:4, Is.35:6-7!}
27 “No one can enter a strong man's house and carry away his goods, unless they first bind him. {Individual and collective.} Then they can plunder the house.
28 Truly, I tell you, all sins are forgiven the sons and daughters of man [anthropoi] and whatever blasphemies (insults) they may utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit(/Presence) of God has not forgiveness to the age [aion] but is guilty of an aionios {particular to the age} sin”— 30 for they were claiming, “He has an unclean spirit.” {😮😳 They’re locked into their blasphemy, which is hatred. (Spiritual sedition that reaches violence and murder.)}
31 And his mother and his brothers arrived, and were standing outside the crowd, and sent word for him. 32 So the ones sitting around him said, “Your mother and your brothers are outside, looking for you.” 33 And he answered, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” 34 And looking about at those who sat around him, he said, “Here.. are my mother and my brothers! 35 For whoever does the will of God, is my brother, my sister and my mother.” {He will gather all, Jn.12:32, some now, some later, Mt.25:1-13 versus Rev.16:14-16 -> Rev.20:11-13 -> Rev.21:5, word is “pas” - “all, every, the whole”. Meaning Jn.5:28-29 w/ Mt.25:46, phrase is “aionion kolasis” (eonian korrection, age of correction) Rev.20:11 w/ Leviticus 23 as an outline of Jesus’ two advents -> Rev.21:5, pas/all.}
