8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

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

            ༺☀️༻ 1 Corinthians 2:7-16

7 But we speak of God’s wisdom, as a mystery hidden, but ordained by God for our {mankind’s ultimate} glory and honor. 8 The rulers and leaders of the age don’t understand this, for if they did, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory.

     9 But! As it’s written, “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, nor any heart of man imagined, that is what God has made ready for those loving him!”

     10 And these things is what God has revealed to us through his Spirit{Presence}. For the Spirit searches everything. Even God’s {own} depths! 11 For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person? So also no one knows the thoughts of God, except the Spirit of God.

     12 So you see, we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that’s from God, that we might understand the things granted and given freely to us by him. [Charizomai - to grant, give freely, show favor.]

     13 And we speak this in words not taught by human wisdom, but taught by the Spirit {of God} for communicating spiritual truths, to those who are spiritual.

     14 The natural person doesn’t accept the things of God’s Spirit, for they sound like foolishness because they’re spiritually understood. 15 The spiritual person is able to judge/discern all things, against such there’s no judgment. 16 “For who has understood the mind of the LORD so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

            ༺☾𖤓༻ LUKE 21:20-24

{Answering his disciples) 20 “Whenever [hotan - whenever, when] you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, know its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those in the city depart. [Ioudaia - Judea, the Judaean land, later called Palestine (by Rome).] And those in the countryside, do not enter in, 22 for these are days of wrath.” [Ekdíkēsis - from ek - out from and to, and díkē - justice, judge – properly, judgment which fully executes the core-values of the particular judge] to fulfill all that’s written”. {So.. this is not only 70 CE. Prophecy is fulfilled first in ‘smaller’ scope, and then full scope at history’s culmination. ..Things running course, total ant farm versus total ‘herd’ immunity?} 

     23 “It will be woeful for women who are with child and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth. And great wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the sword and be led captive among the nations. {Were they again slaves!? How Satan - the adversary/accelerant/rebel angel/first to stray in thought, word or deed, a seraphim over Eden? Certain other “covering” angels over some of the animals, joined his sedition? Thus the animals turned predator? Man as carnivore in order to not be prey? Pre flood learned from the fallen animals? ..How patient of God to wait so long in order to bring about this ‘quick’ one and done? ..And so patient as it runs its course. How Satan despises Israel for birthing into the world “the Savior of the world”!}

     “And Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the nations - until - the times of the nations are fulfilled.” {After that, the forever capitol of God upon Earth. Is it any wonder Satan has such deep wrath and hatred? For all and for creation itself, his now being very much oF hate (“locked knto deepest darkness/tartarus” (minus the Greek lengend) “awaiting judgment”. But especially against the Hebrews/Israel. And second of course is Christians and western civilization.. Not sure why the Canaanite-baalism horrific practice. Another deep hate I guess.}   

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.

ACTS 11 1-30

 Luke wrote “of the things fulfilled among us” paraphrased due to ©‘s [ ] ref  { } thots

    Book of the Acts of the First Believers

1 - The apostles and brothers who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party (Hebrew believers) criticized him, saying, 3 “You went to the uncircumcised and ate with them!” {Israel was strictly separated from others, for one thing, in order to birth Messiah, the “savior of the world” into a comparatively prepared nation.}

    4 But Peter began to explain to them what had happened, 5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance [ekstasis - a displacement of the mind, state of ecstasy] when I saw a vision. There was something like a great sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. It came down to me 6 and looking at it closely, I saw animals and beasts of prey, reptiles and birds of the air. 7 And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat.’ 8 But I said, ‘By no means, LORD! For nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth!’

     9 But the voice answered a second time from above saying, ‘Don’t call common, what God has polished(?).’ [Katharízō – make pure, removing all admixture, root of catharisis.] 10 And this happened, three times. And then it was all drawn up again into heaven.

     11 And look! At that very moment three men arrived at the house, who were sent to me from Caesarea. 12 And the Spirit told me to go with them. And to ask no questions and make no distinction. These six brothers as well, accompanied me, and we entered the man's house. 13 And he told us how he had seen the angel coming into his house and the angel said, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. 14 He will declare to you a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household.’” [This was the “good news for all” beginning to earnestly go out to the nations {right on schedule} called gentiles, all who are not hebrew.] 15 “And even as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit(/Presence of God) fell upon them. Just as it had upon us at the beginning [Acts 2]. 16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 So then, if God gave the same gift to them, as he gave to us - when we believed in the Lord Jesus - who was I that I should stand in God's way?” [A question for I.O? The Israel only doctrine.]

     18 When the brothers heard these things they fell silent, and they glorified God, saying, “Then to the Gentiles also, God has granted repentance that leads to Life.”

     19 Now in those days, those who were scattered because of the persecution that had risen after Stephen’s stoning, had traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the message to no one except to Jews/Hebrews. 20 But there were some, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who upon coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists (Greeks) also, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

     22 The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, so they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

     23 When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he was happy, and exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose. 24 For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord. 25 So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul/Paul. 26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch.

     For a whole year they met with the church (the believers) and taught a great many people. And it was in Antioch that the followers [mathétés - learners, disciples, pupils] were first called Christians.

     27 It was at about this time, that prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 And one of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the civilized world (and the famine took place in the days of Claudius). 29 So the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, to send relief to the believers living in Judea. 30 And they did so, sending it to the elders there by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

Hebrews 10:8-13  Mark 2:1-12

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 10:8-13

8 - When he (the Son) said, “You (LORD) have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings, nor in burnt offerings and sin offerings” - these being offered according to the law, 9 he then added, “Behold, I’ve come to do your will.”

     And by this - he does away with the first (covenant, program, contract, legal document and testament, guarantee, promise) -> in order to establish the second. {Which the first was a shadow and copy of. A sort of replica of the true thing - and way - that was coming. Which God used Paul and others to reveal in their proclaiming of the good news, which Jesus had said to publish to all nations. Before Christ no one could understand what the old sacrifices were portraying and prophesying. That’s what Paul meant, not that he had been given a different gospel for the nations/gentiles/nonHebrews, but that by God’s grace and doing, he had been given the understanding (revelation) of what those old sacrifices were proclaiming. Which sacrifice was not to “please God”! WhaT do the sacrifices, or more exact, what does the literal and graphic sacrifice of Jesus, “firstborn of God” actually appease? WhaT needs to be appeased?? Not Satan, gone rogue angel/“messenger” as he’s certainly not an almost equal to God supreme being. Logic answers? Root word logos.} 

     10 And by that will {of God, and testament} we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. {And so reconciled to Life/God, free from the death penalty, which straying/entropy/imperfection results in. And free from guilt.}

    11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sin [hamartia - missing the mark] {this imPerfection/entropy, the fire and worm that “doesn’t quit”, imperfect and thus missing the mark, cannot make itself perfect and on target, but God iS life and “is perfect” Mt.5:48, but an ant farm is no paradise}.

     12,13 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice/full payment for sin, he then sat down at the right hand of God - waiting - from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. {After things have run course. Otherwise? Why bother?}

            🌙 P.M. Mark 2:1-12

1 - Later, Jesus went home to Capernaum, and after a few days, word got out that he was there. 2 And so many came and were gathering together to hear him. It got to the point of being so crowded outside and about the door, that anyone wanting to come near, couldn’t because of the press of people.

     3 And then along came four men carrying a paralyzed man on a pallet bed. 4 And when they couldn’t get near Jesus because of the crowd, they climbed up with him to the roof, removed part of it above Jesus, and when there was a big enough opening, they let down the man on the pallet.

     5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Son! Your sins are forgiven!” 6 Now some of the scribes {‘experts’} were sitting there thinking, 7 “Why does this man speak like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?!”

     8 But Jesus, perceiving this, said to them, “Why do you question in your hearts? 9 What’s easier? To say to the paralized, ‘Your sins are forgiven’? Or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk’? 10 But so you may know the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” he said to the paralytic, 11 “I say to you, rise up, take up your bed, and go home.” 12 And the man got up, picked up his bed and went out as they all were watching.

     And all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We’ve never seen anything like this before!”

04-01- Eph-5 Jn-11

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

 • Ephesians 5:9-16  John 11:38-54

            ☀️ Ephesians 5:9-16

9 - The fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true. 10 Try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead shine the {gentle} light of Truth on them. 12 It’s shameful even to speak of things that are done in secret. 13 But the light when shone, brings understanding. 14 And when something is understood, it becomes known.

     That’s why the scripture says, “Awake, O sleeper! Arise from the dead! And Christ will shine upon you!” {Golden wheat.. or still a weed in God’s garden? As we all were, and still are to a degree.. Until total overcoming at resurrection.. if in the first one. The second one has GWT Judgment/discernment/review/closure for all ‘Day’ between the rising and when Father God says, “Behold, I make all new” Rev.21:5, Greek word “pas” - “all, every, the whole”.}

     15 So don’t be reckless and unwise in how you walk, but wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are quickly past.

     {Mt.13:30 is Rev.16:14-15-16, not an afterlife ‘hell’ and, or is Mt.25:1-13, notice the word “first”?}

            🌙 John 11:38-54

38 - Then Jesus, deeply moved, came to the tomb, which was a cave. A stone lay against it, 39 so Jesus said, “Take away the stone.”

     Martha, the sister of Lazarus, the dead man, said, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days.”

     40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?”

     41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus looking upward said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I know you always hear me. But I say this on account of the people standing here, that they may believe that you have sent me.”

     43 And then he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” 44 And Lazarus, who had died, came out. His hands and feet were bound with linen strips, and his face was wrapped in a head cloth. Jesus said, “Unbind him. Set him free.”

     45 Many of the Judeans therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen this, believed in him. 46 But some went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

     47 So the leaders, the chief priests and the Pharisees, gathered as a council {☠️} and said, “What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our seats and our nation.”

     49 But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said, “You know nothing! 50 Nor do you understand! It’s better one man die! Than the whole nation perish!” 51 He didn’t even say this of his own accord! But being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation. 52 And not for the nation [ethnos - people, nation] {Hebrews} only.

     {Separated to separate God Most High in our understanding, from ‘the gods’ of the nations that had developed over ancient centuries.}

     BUT aLso to gather [synagagē] into one, the children of God {humanity} who are scattered abroad. {From Babel Tower.}

     53 And from that day on they made plans to have him executed. 54 So Jesus no longer walked openly among them. And he went to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, and there he stayed for a while with the disciples.

03-31 - Eph-5 Jn-11

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

 • Ephesians 5:1-8  John 11:28-37

            ☀️ Ephesians 5:1-8

1 - Therefore try to be like God {who iS Love} as beloved children. 2 And walk in love. As Christ loved us! He even gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. {Imagine dying, etc(!) if you didn’t have to. Would anything less dramatic be able to reach every heart? Be able to appease eveRy conscience? He said he “laid down” his life “willingly” Jn.10:18. Rescued us from imperfection, which is entropy and an abyss of potential, both collective and individual. Heck pre-flood was hands off and look how that turned out.}

     3 So sexual transgression, all impurity [a-kathartos - contamination] and greed [pleonexia - greed, covetousness] mustn’t even be named among you, as is proper among saints/believers.

     4 Avoid foolish talk and crude joking, as out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. 5 You can be sure of this, that anyone who is sexually trangressing or impure, or who is greedy - which is idolatry - is not {presently in “the way” of} inheriting the kingdom of Christ and God.

     6 Don’t be deceived by empty words. It’s because of these things that comes the wrath of God {consequences} upon the children of disobedience.

     {I’m convinced, God’s wrath is ‘code’ for cause and effect. His “passion”/greek orge - passion, translated wrath, as opposed to what? Creation as just an ant farm? Creation as Total Ant Farm, versus Total ‘Herd’ Immunity? The dis-ease as part of the cure? An unavoidable, all important contrast, engineered as this ‘quick’ one and done..}

     7 So don’t become involved in such things. 8 for at one time you were without light [skotos - darkness, lacking light] but now you’re in the light of the LORD. {We should} walk in that light, as children oF light..

            🌙 John 11:28-37

28 - After this, Martha went back into the house and called her sister Mary, saying privately, “The teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29 When Mary heard it, she rose quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still where Martha had met him. 31 When the Judeans/Hebrews/Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to weep.

     32 Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”

     33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and those who had come with her weeping also, he was deeply moved and troubled in his spirit. 34 And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 And Jesus wept. 36 So they said, “See how he loved him!” 37 But some said, “Couldn’t he who opened the eyes of the blind man, also have kept this man from dying?”

 • Romans 9:19-26  Matthew 13:18-30

           ☀️ Romans 9:19-26

19 - You might say to me (Paul) “Why does God then find fault? For who can resist his will!?” {Concerning those he doesn’t yeT call.} 20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will the clay say to the potter, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Has the potter no right to his clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel as sacred and another as common (for daily use)? 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath [orge - passion] {cause and effect/truth like gravity, isn’t made to be broken} and to make known his power, has endured with much patience, vessels of wrath going to ruin [apóleia - ruin, loss, destruction] 23 in order to make clearly known the riches of his glory! The glory to be seen upon vessels of mercy, which he makes ready for revelation and the revealing of that glory {state}. 24 The glory to which he has called us, both Hebrews/Jews, and Gentiles. 25 As indeed he says in Hosea, “Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’ and she [nations] who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’”

     26 “Yes in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons and daughters of the living God.’”

     {Prophecy is fulfilled from partial scope to FuLL scope! From Israel -> to the wheat -> to (during GWT ‘Day’) the still tares - “Yes in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons and daughters of the living God” — Outline EIGHT millennia - the Week plus 1 - and the outline within that one -> the Spring and Fall holy days of Leviticus 23 as 1st so brief advent (Spring) and long 2nd advent (Autumn) a fuller version of his 1st?}

            🌙 Matthew 13:18-30

18 - Jesus continued, “Hear then the meaning of the parable of the sower, 19 When someone hears the good news of the kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in their heart. This is the seed that was sown along the pathway. 20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is when someone hears the message and receives it with joy. 21 Yet they have no root within theirself, and so they endure only a while, and when trouble or persecution arises on account of it” {the Kingdom versus man’s world; God’s creation versus mankind’s creation upon it} “they soon fall away.

     22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is when someone hears, but the cares of the world and the lure of worldly things and riches choke the message, and it becomes unfruitful.

     23 But the seed that falls on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. And they indeed bear fruit, and yield, sometimes a hundredfold, sometimes sixty, and sometimes thirtyfold.”

     24 Then he told them another parable, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man sowing good seed in his field. 25 But! While his men were sleeping, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and then stole back away. 26 And later, when the wheat came up and was bearing grain, the weeds were there too. 27 And the servants of the master/mister of the house came and said, ‘Master! Wasn’t it good seed you sowed in your field! Why are there all these many weeds?’ 28 He answered, ‘An enemy has done this!’

     So the servants said, ‘Do you want us to go and gather out the weeds?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, for in taking out the weeds, you might also pull up some of the wheat. 30 Let them grow together until harvest. Then at harvest time, I’ll say to the reapers ‘Gather, first, the weeds in bundles’ {armies rev.16:14-15-16} ‘to be burned.’” {In a bonfire, we don’t burn garden weeds in a forever subterranean fiery pit. At this point is the first mention of a lake of fire.} “‘But gather the wheat into my barn.’” {Through the door of the ten bridesmaids parable, Mt.25:1-13. To serve called reigning during long second advent, full scope version of his first so brief one?}
