02-17 - Ro-10 Mt-14

πŸ—️s New Testament & Bible prophecy study, verses paraphrased [ ] references { } thots

 • Romans 10:11-15  Matthew 14:1-14


           ☀️ Romans 10:11-15

11 - For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be shamed.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek {between hebrew and former practicing pagan} for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call upon him. 13 For “everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord is saved.”

     14 How then will someone call upon him, if they don’t believe he is? And how can they believe he is, if they’ve never heard of him? And how are they to hear without someone telling them? 15 And how are they to tell it, unless they’re sent? As it’s written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who tell the GOOD news!” {Father in heaven “is Perfect” Mt.5:48 - 100% good news.}


            πŸŒ™ Matthew 14:1-14

[To be tetrarch was to be a leader/ruler over a fourth part of a region - tetra, a fourth, and arch, ruler.] At about that time, Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus, 2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist! He’s been raised from the dead! This is why these miracles are happening.” 3 For Herod had seized John, chained him and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, 4 because John had said to him, “It’s not lawful for you to have her.” {I read both Herod and Philip were Herodias’ uncles.} 5 And though he wanted to put him to death (previously having listened to him) he feared the people, because they held him as a prophet. {Herod was a son of Herod the Great, and was a Hebrew.} 6 But when Herod's birthday came around, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company and pleased Herod, 7 so much so that he promised, with an oath, to give her whatever she might ask. 8 So she asked her mother what she should ask for. And Herodias said “Ask for the head of John the Baptist to be brought to us on a platter!”

     9 The king was sorry when he heard it, but because of his oath and his guests who heard it, he commanded it to be done. 10 And sent and had John beheaded in the prison. 11 And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

     12 John’s disciples came and took the body and buried it, and then they went and told Jesus what had happened. (Mary, though much younger, was a relative of Elizabeth, John’s mother. So Jesus and John were related. John was six months older than Jesus.)

     13 And when Jesus was told, he withdrew from there by boat to go to a lonely place by himself. But when the crowds heard of it, they hurriedly followed on foot from all the towns.

     14 And when he came to shore he saw a great crowd and felt compassion for them. And all their sick [Γ‘rrhōstos - from A - not, and rhαΉ“nnymi - leave, depart; properly, a persisting illness – literally "that will not leave" chronic ill-health] he healed.

   08/11 - GospeL Verses

14 - King Herod heard all about Jesus, for his name had become very well known. Some people said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead! That’s why these miraculous powers are at work in him.” 15 But others said, “He’s Elijah!” And still others said, “He’s a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

     16 But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised!” 17 For it was Herod who had ordered John be arrested and cast into prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he had married his own. brother’s wife. 18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It’s not lawful for you to have her.”

     19 So Herodias hated him. And she wanted to have him put to death. But she couldn’t, 20 because Herod (a hebrew by birth) feared John. For he knew he was a righteous and holy man, and so he kept him safe. When he heard him speak, he was perplexed and troubled. Yet he liked to listen to him.

     21 But an opportunity came when Herod, upon his birthday, gave a banquet for his nobles, military commanders, and the leading men of Galilee. 22 When Herodias' daughter came in and danced for them, she pleased Herod and his guests. And the king exclaimed, “Ask me for whatever you wish! And I will give it to you!” 23 And he vowed, “Whatever you ask! I will give you! Up to half of my kingdom!” 24 So she sought out her mother and said, “What should I ask for?” And her mother said, “The head of John the Baptist.” 25 So she hurried back to the king, saying, “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

     26 The king was troubled and regretful, but because of his oath - his guests heard it - he didn’t want to be seen breaking his word. 27 So he sent for an executioner with orders to bring John's head, who then went and beheaded him in the prison. 28 And he brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl. And the girl gave it to her mother. 29 When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.

     07/02 - GospeL Verses

15 - As the people were wondering and questioning concerning John, whether he might be the Christ, 16 John answered them, saying, “I baptize you with water! But he who is mightier than I is coming! The strap of whose sandals I’m not worthy to untie! He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with {his} fire. 17 His winnowing fork is in his hand! To clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” {Chaff is part of the wheat.. the kernal goes into his barn - “we’re the big door prize” - Jn Prine. And the chaff is blown away in the breeze.. {like what occurs during “the 8th day”. And it’s HE who has the winnowing fork, not an all powerful devil, a pitchfork in his forever kingdom of pain, sorrow, and death, lol.}

     18 And with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people. 19 But Herod the tetrarch (the son of Herod the Great who had tried to destroy/devour Jesus when he was one or two years of age, Rev.12:4, the chapter middle of three tellings of the revelation vision - with Mt.23:39) who had been publicly scolded by him for Herodias, his brother's wife. And added to all the evil he had already done, 20 he locked up John in prison.

     21 When the people were baptized [“preparing the way before him”] and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form, like a dove. And a voice came from heaven saying, “You are my beloved Son, with you I am well pleased.”

    MARK 1:9 - In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River. 10 And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove. 11 And was heard a voice from heaven saying, “You are my beloved Son, and with you, I am well pleased.” [“We shall be like him.”]

     12 Then the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness. 13 And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. [First gone rogue one. God, being Life, suffers all things, and endowed thinking and reasoning ability to mankind and angelkind anyway!] And he was with the wild animals {wonder if they were friendly with him?} and the angels ministered to him.

1 - At that time Herod the tetrarch [tetrarchΓ©s - from the Greek words tetra, meaning four, and archon - ruler, leader; ruler over a fourth part of a region] heard about the fame of Jesus, 2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead.

GospeL Verses ~ Mark 6:14-29

14 - King Herod heard all about Jesus, for his name had become well known. Some people said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead! That’s why these miraculous powers are at work in him.” 15 But others said, “He’s Elijah.” And still others said, “He’s a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” 16 But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.” 17 For it was Herod who had ordered John be seized and bound into prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he had married her. 18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It’s not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.” 19 So Herodias hated him and wanted to put him to death.

     26 The king was very sorry, but because of his oath, and his guests, he didn’t want to break his word to her. 27 So immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head, who went and beheaded him in the prison, 28 and brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother. 29 When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                ~ 1John 2:18-22 ~

18 - Children, it is the last hour [hora - a definite space of time, a season, an hour, the particular time for anything] and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know it is the last hour/season. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. 20 But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and have the true knowledge/knowing. 21 I write to you, not because you don’t know the truth, but because you do know the truth, and because no lie is of the truth. 22 And who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This -> is the antichrist -> whoever denies the Father and the Son.
