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.}

07-28 - From Heb-12 Lk-8

8Th ‘Day’ Study, verses R paraphrased [ref] {thots}

Hebrews 12:3-10  Luke 8:9-18

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 12:3-10

3 - Consider Jesus who endured such hostility against himself! So you don’t grow weary or fainthearted, 4 for in your struggle you haven’t had to suffer what others have. 5 And have you forgotten this? Which speaks to you as to sons and daughters - “My son/daughter, don’t regard lightly the discipline [paideia - discipline, instruction, training, education] of the LORD, nor be weary when corrected by him. 6 For he disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every one whom he receives” (Proverbs 3:11-12).

    7 The endurance {crucible} is a discipline. God is treating us as sons and daughters. For what son or daughter is there whom a father doesn’t correct? 8 If we are left without correction, in which all take part, then we are illegitimate children, and not sons and daughters! 9 Besides, haven’t we had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them? Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and receive Life? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed fitting to them, but he disciplines us for our benefit, that we may share his character and his nature of holiness.

     {How can we be a temple for his Spirit/Presence if we aren’t aligned with him? He is Life, Love, and “is perfect” Mt.5:48. Perfect and Life, is why this imperfection is ruled by entropy, and so he “is savior of all”. Some now, some during the GWT “aionion kolasis” (eonian korrection) second half of an “8th” millennium, REV.20, and LEV.23-as an outline of the Lord’s TWO advents. The long second advent, surely(?) is a full scope version of his first so brief one.. but with helpers serving, called reigning? It being Mt.25:1-13 versus Rev.16:14-15-16? What I mean is MT.13:30 with Jn.5:28,29.}

            🌙 P.M. Luke 8:9-18

9 - When his disciples asked him what the parable of the seeds meant, 10 Jesus said, “To you it’s been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God. But for others they’re in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’ {Not their time.}

     11 The seed is the word of God. 12 The seeds along the path are those who hear the message, but then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts so they may not believe and be saved.

     13 And the seed on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But they have no root {depth} and believe for a while, but in a time of difficulty, they fall away.

     14 And as for the seed (message) that fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way the message is choked by the cares, riches, and pleasures {distractions} of life. And the fruit {of the message} doesn’t mature.

     15 But as for the seed in the good soil, they are those who, with an honest and genuine heart, hear the word, and keep it. And with patience and steadfastness bear fruit.

     16 No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jug or puts it under a bed! But they put it on a table or lampstand, so those who enter may see by its light. 17 There’s nothing hidden that won’t be made known, no secret and mystery, that won’t be seen and come to light.

     18 Take care then, how you hear, for to the one who has (hears) more will be given. And from the one who has not {doesn’t hear} even what they think they have, will be taken away.” {Note how there’s no time word in this verse so why is there so much assuming of ‘for ever’..? Including likely, when this verse is read. And some verses with no time word in them, have been translated to include the word “forever”.}

06-22 - From Heb-4 Lk-1

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

Hebrews 4:12-16  Luke 1:67-80

           ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 4:12-16

12 - The word of God is living and active. It’s sharper than any sword for it penetrates even to the dividing of soul from spirit, and joint from marrow. It discerns and brings to light the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

     13 None of us are hidden from his sight, but all are fully seen by the eyes of him with whom is our account [greek word logos - reasoning].

     14 We have a great high priest. {Confessor, able to take the loose ends of life, and our life, and weave them into the beautiful tapestry God is weaving.} Because we have such a high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us - hold fast - {and rest in} our confession [homologia, homo-logia - literally “together-Word”].

     15 For we don’t have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses. But he was tested in every respect even as we are, yet without sin [hamartia - missing the mark].

     16 So then! Let us, with confidence, draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find the grace that helps us in our time of need. {Which is now and every day.}

     (PSALM 68:13 - If you rest (enter rest) like a dove in the sheep’s pasture, you will have wings like silver with feathers dipped in gold.) {Radiant, reflecting light.}

            🌙 P.M. Luke 1:67-80

67 - And the baby’s father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, 68 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel! He has visited and redeemed his people! 69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, 70 as he said by his holy prophets of old, 71 that we should be saved from our enemies - and from the hand of -> all who hate us, 72 to show the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant, 73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us 74 that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. 76 And you, child [John the baptist] will be called the prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, 77 to give the knowledge of salvation to his people {those that are his, Jn.13:3 but the word “things” is added/inserted} as the forgiveness of their sins, 78 because of the tender mercy of our God! Whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high! 79 To give light to those who sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death. And to guide our feet into the way of peace.”

    80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit. And he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearing to Israel. {Microcosm.. everything in patterns.. progresses from small scope to full scope, like the adopting and message to Israel, and then the adopting and message to the nations. Smaller scope to full scope, including the advents of Jesus. Why the preoccupation with “missing the mark”? Because it can never work, it’s an “iron rod” / unbreakable measure. God iS Life, and “is perfect” so imperfect is two things, entropy, a process that “doesn’t quit” and an abyss of potential. The best news is, perfect, means the ‘end’ result of all this - greek word “tel” root of tele-scope, means the “end-aim” - can onLy be the veRy best one possible.}

1 - Finally, then, brethren/brothers and sisters, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that even as you received from us how you ought to walk in a way that is pleasing to God - just as you are! And that you {and we, all} do so more and more. 2 For you know the instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 How this is the will of God, your sanctification [being progressively transformed by the Lord into His likeness and similarity of nature]. That you abstain from sexual immorality, 4 that each of you know how to control their own body in holiness and honor, 5 not in the passion of lust like Gentiles who don’t know God. 6 That no one transgress and wrong [pleonekteó - take advantage of, overreach, defraud] {seduce} in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all such things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. 7 For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness. 8 Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit(/Presence) to you.

3 - Consider Jesus who endured such hostility against himself! That you may not grow weary or fainthearted. 4 For in your struggle you have not had to suffer what others have. (And have not struggled so fierce we sweat blood like our Lord did in Gethsemane.) 5 And have you forgotten this, that speaks to you as to sons and daughters - “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the LORD, nor be weary when reproved by him. 6 For he disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every one whom he receives” (Proverbs 3:11-12).

    7 The endurance {crucible} is for discipline {and testing as testing metals to purify and strengthen}. God is treating us as sons and daughters. For what son or daughter is there whom a father does not correct? 8 If we are left without correction, in which all take part, then we are illegitimate children, and not sons and daughters! 9 Besides, have we not had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them?

  12/29 ~ From New Testament Letters

   🕊️ (In the Order Believed Written)

1 - Since we have these - promises - beloved, let us rid ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the reverence of God.

     2 And make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one. 3 I don’t say this to judge you {but to nudge you?} for I said before that you’re in our hearts, whether we die together or live together! 4 I’m acting with great boldness toward you because I have great pride in you. I’m filled with comfort! In all our troubles, I’m overflowing with joy! 5 Even when we came into Macedonia, we had no rest, we were afflicted at every turn, fighting without and fear within. 6 But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus! 7 And not only by his coming but by the good words of comfort with which he had been comforted by you. For he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal toward me. So that I rejoiced even more. 8 Because even if I made you grieve with my letter, I don’t regret it. Though I did regret it! For I knew the letter would grieve you. But only for a while! 9 As it is, I rejoice! Not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved unto repentance [metanoia - to change ones mind, turn, repent]. For it was a godly grief, so you lost nothing from it. 10 For godly grief produces a coming to senses which gains life, safety, wholeness, without regret. Whereas worldly grief [lupé - sorrow, grief, pain, distress] produces loss of life. {Stress, etc, equals less life? Now, and shorter duration of life? Sweeping issues under the carpet isn’t the best remedy?}
