Hebrews 6:7-11 Matthew 2:13-23
☀️ A.M. Hebrews 6:7-11
7 - The thing is, land that has drank in the rain that falls upon it, and produces a crop good, and is useful to those for whom it’s cultivated, receives the blessing from God. {It’s harvested.} 8 But if it bears thorns and thistles, it’s not useful for cultivation and is cursed, and its ‘end’ is to be burned. {See!? This is not an eternal fire! It - never - is. Worse case scenario would be a temporary ‘burning’ - but as spiritual fire. Purity consumes impurity, like Light consumes dark. Which some of us (humanity) are experiencing during this brief lifetime. So never some sort of pit or dungeon, unless inner, but as it turns out, an “aion-ian kolasis” / age of correction.
Mostly I think the prophesied fires are wars, fiery judgments, the eventual consequence of all division, etc. You know, what the world is so busy dishing out. And cause and effect as judgment is in line with the three mentions of lake of fire being at huge fiery events.. First mention is at armageddon battle. Which surely is not all that surprising. And this imperfection is entropy, which is surely a crucible!? ..We gather weeds to a bonfire! We burn off a field and it grows back greener!
The whole thing being options for creation, aka, paradise, (1)a total Ant Farm - which actually, is no paradise! Or, (2)total ‘herd’ immunity, the dis-ease being allowed to run its course. Turns out it’s part of the cure ..And immunity.
The “first” of Mt.13:30 (weeds gathered to the bonfire) is Rev.16:14-15-16, which follows, and ends, a 45 days triple six tribulation Dn.12:11-12 W/ Lk.19:41,44 & 1Cor.3:16 (and Rev.2:10 as the escalation) logically? The “7yrs” is only how long a so called lauded “peace! peace!” (global under the last world domination empire) will actually last. And - Dn.12:11 - it will be broken against - we guessed it - Israel in about the middle of it. Then, 3.5 hebrew years plus 30 days later, the “false prophet” of the world’s last “miracle” and modern wonder “is set up” ..”where it shouldn’t be”. But not necessarily in a “3rd temple”! As said prophet has aLready “seated man/anthropos in the temple as god”/highest power, causing the west once called Christendom/Western Civilization to “fall away”. I may delete most of this tangent, lol.}
9 Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things, things that belong to the saving way! 10 For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you’ve shown for his name, in serving his people, as you still are. {Feeding his sheep; wholesome nourishment; passing on the message}. 11 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance to the end. {“What has God asked of thee O man! But to act justly, love kindness and mercy, and to walk humbly with the LORD thy God?” Micah 6:8.}
[Plérophoria - full assurance, complete certainty, full conviction ..”of hope” [elpis - expectation!] “To have the full certainty, of expectation until the ‘end’ [telos - the end aim] to GOD’s end-aim.]
From a biblehub dot com commentary — like the old pirate’s tel-escope.. things progress - prophecy is fulfilled - in scopes, until reaching full scope, and end-aim.) {Including the advents? ‘Smaller’ pond ripple, to fuLL pond ripple, during which we can be helpers serving. Called reigning, can you see why? “Crowns of ?” - oR be on the other side of that appointment. God “is Perfect” loses nothing. Unless it’s the rogue ‘angels’ but even then..? Eph.1:10, but where “all” has been changed to read “all things” - in many verses, when it wouldn’t sound goofy.}
🌙 P.M. Matthew 2:13-23
13 - Now when the wise men from the east had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child in order to destroy him.” {Rev.12:4, the chapter being the middle telling of three tellings of the revelation vision, but verse 17 needs Mt.23:39. The other two tellings are 6:1-2 to 11:19 and 13:1 to 19:11. Then the three rejoin at the seventh trumpet’s sounding. In chapter six is the first veiling.. but once we know it’s there? It’s a riddle! Veils the entire vision, but especially the sixth seal and chapter seven. Note 7:1,3 where we’re still at for now.}
14 So he rose and took the child and his mother by night and went to Egypt. 15 And they stayed there until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what the LORD had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my Son.”
16 Then Herod (the Great) when he saw he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious, and he sent and had killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all the region around, who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, 18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children, she refused to be comforted, because they are no more.” [Ramah is the hill overlooking Bethlehem where Rachel was buried.]
19 Now when Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 20 saying, “Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead.” 21 And he rose and took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream he withdrew to the district of Galilee. 23 And they lived in a city called Nazareth, so what was spoken by the prophets was fulfilled, that he would be called a Nazarene.
