🌙 [To his disciples on the eve of his crucifixion, continued.] 18 - “If the world hates you, know that it hated first. 19 If you were of the world, the world would include you as its own. But since you’re not of the world, and I chose you out of the world, the world doesn’t like you.

     20 Remember how I said to you, ‘A servant isn’t greater than their master.’ If they” {who? ruling powers/the world} “persecuted me, they’ll persecute you. If they kept my word, they’ll keep yours. 21 But all these things they’ll do to you on account of my name [onoma - name, cause] because they don’t know the one who sent me. 22 If I hadn’t come and spoken, they wouldn’t be exposed, but now they have no cover. 23 Whoever hates me, hates my Father also. 24 If I hadn’t done among them the works that no one else has done, they wouldn’t be guilty. But now they have seen these things {all that occurred} and have hated both me and my Father. 25 But, the words written in the Law itself will be fulfilled, ‘They hated me without cause.’

     26 When the Helper comes, whom [hos, hé, ho - who, what, which, that] I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, that proceeds from the Father” {the Father’s Presence gone forth} “will bear witness about me. 27 As will you, because you’ve been with me during it all.”

☀️ 11/06 - 1 CORINTHIANS 6:14-20

14 - God raised Jesus. And he will also raise us up by his (same) power. 15 We are all the parts of the {spiritual, very real} body of Christ! Should I then take a body part of Christ and make it members of a prostitute? Never! {Corinthians was a big city which beliefs and practices included temple prostitutes. Go figure. Lol.} 16 Or don’t you know that anyone joined to a prostitute has become one with her? {To Father Creator, no throwaway lovemaking, but soul mate.. children.. grandma and grandpa, uncles, aunts, cousins.. tribe.. humanity with its beautifuL branches.. How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact?}

     For you see, it’s written, “The two become one.” 17 And to be joined to the Lord is to be one in spirit with him.

     18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside of the body. But the sexually immoral person sins against {abuses} their own body. 19 Don’t you know your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, whom you have from God? {God’s Spirit/Presence. The Holy Ghost!} We’re not our own! 20 We were bought with a price. We are meant to bodily glorify God. {Destiny. One boat. All are in it. All going to the same place - Rev.21:1-5, Isaiah 11:7.}

🌙 37 - Though Jesus had done so many signs and miracles, they still didn’t believe in him. 38 And so the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled - “LORD, who has believed your message? And to who, has been revealed, the arm {intent} of the LORD?” 39 Therefore, they couldn’t believe. {Because it wasn’t revealed to them!?} For again Isaiah said, 40 “He has blinded their eyes, and he has hardened their heart. Lest they see with their eyes, and lest they understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.”

     {One for all, all for one, and one and done - aLL strayed, aLL called, justified, purified, BUT — 1Cor.15:22-24,28 with Mt.13:33, 🗝️->key word 3 “the kingdom is like three batches of meal a woman works leaven into until all is leavened” in this case the leaven of total newness, three harvests — 1Cor.15:23,  “EACH IN THEIR OWN ORDER (#1)Christ the First(fruits”) first kernel of grain that is broken and implanted in each one after him, the barley harvest “then (#2)those that are his at his coming” the wheat harvest. “THEN comes the end”(#3!). [Tel - the “end-aim”.] “After the Son has subdued all” - which translators changed the word “all” to “all things” whenever they could. They just couldn’t believe? Such a totally glorious message. After all is said and done, and “all are subdued, including powers and principalities” — for “the Father has put aLL in the Son’s hands” - “then the Son will hand aLL over to the Father and will also submit himself to the Father” 1Cor.15:25,26.

     So the Son hands over the kingdom having submitted all to the Father which is #3 - the overflowing grape harvest, “that God may be all in all” These verses have been 1Cor.15:22-28 wiTh the ‘key’ Mt.13:33, key word 3.

     For it’s “BEHOLD! I make aLL new!” Greek word “pas” - “every, all, the whole”. And then - (Rev.21:1-5) “God will Tabernacle with mankind ..a new heavens and earth”.. and the second vivification. Vivification is the “putting oN of immortality and incorruptibility”/Perfection.. God’s “jewels” Mal.3:17.} The second vivification at the fieRy [2Pet.3:12-13] “palin/again-genesis” is the death of death - the verses 1COR.15:25-26 and Rev.21:1-5.

     41 Isaiah said these things because he saw the Son’s glory and spoke about it. {It was revealed to him.} 42 Nevertheless! Even many of the authorities believed in Jesus, but for fear of the Pharisees they didn’t say so, because they didn’t want to be put out of the synagogue/{and ‘accepted’ society, the establishment and political power} 43 for they cared more for acceptance and glory that comes from man {and each one’s generation} more than acceptance and {the exceeding great} glory revealed from God. {Because it hasn’t (yet) been revealed. ‘Importance’ world’s acceptance and ‘glory’ totally fades once the True glory is “revealed/made known”.  God is 100% unfettered Genius, could see all possibilities before speaking any act of creation. The ‘end’ result can onLy be the best one possible, and of course he has done, and does, all things as he has in order to bring about that best “end-aim”.}

     44 And Jesus cried out to the people, the city, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in he who sent me! 45 And whoever sees me - sees the one who sent me!” {The Son is the only straight out from God one. Father and Son are so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence. The Holy Ghost which will saturate and “seal” the world and humanity. It’s not a case of what God hAs created, but what he is creating.}

     46 “I have come into the world as Light and whoever believes in Me will not be in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and doesn’t keep them {doesn’t believe them} I don’t judge them. For I didn’t come to judge the world, but to save it. 48 The one who rejects me and doesn’t receive my words has a judge, the words I’ve spoken will judge them in [en - in, on, at, by, with, among {during!} the last (“8th”) ‘day’.” {“My words will not be futile” Is.55:11.}

     49 “For I haven’t spoken on my own authority. The Father who sent me has himself told me what to say. 50 And I know his instruction is Life. What I say therefore, is what the Father has told me to say.”

Revelation 5 1-6

 BooK of Revelation

                a paraphrased study

1 - Then I (John) saw in the right hand of he who was seated on the throne, a scroll written within and on the back. And it was sealed with seven seals.

     2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll?! And to break its seals?” 3 And no one in heaven or upon earth or under earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it. 4 And I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. 5 But one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more. Look! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered. He can open the scroll and its seven seals.” {Secrets, keys(?) to the vision and Truth about to be unveiled..} [Root - rhiza - metaphorically/spiritually - cause, origin, source (of shepherd turned king, David {and of all}).]

     6 And then, with the throne and the four living creatures, and among the elders, I saw a Lamb standing, as though slain. It had seven horns and seven eyes, which is the sevenfold {perfect} spirit oF God *sent* into all the earth. {The pure, uncontaminated Holy Ghost/Presence/Spirit oF God the Father. The Son is the proto/first, the onLy straight out from God one. So close both Father and Son administer God’s Spirit/Presence. The same as will saturate, thus “seal” humanity and all creation.. “The lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow” Isaiah 11:7. {But first Is.24:20/Rev.10:4 followed by Jesus’ long second advent, theN the (fiery) “palin/again-genesis” when God says “behold! I make all (pas - all) new!” and God “will now *Tabernacle* with mankind..” {Note: there is narrative in Rev.22 that is spoken outside of the vision. And had mankind not become carnivore they would have become prey? Straying/imPerfection/entropy (the worm and slow gehenna fire that “does not quit”) is a potential abyss of possibilities.}

Revelation 19 9-16

 WeeKly BooK oF Revelation

  By Necessity Verses Slightly 

             Paraphrased      

9 - And the angel said to me (disciple John, seeing the vision in his old age while in an island prison) “Write this - Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb!!” {Mt.25:1-13! In the parable of the ten bridesmaids, the door is to serving, called reigning (for logical reason) during the Lord’s long second advent. The door is to the wedding banquet/reception/supper. And the catching away of dead and alive believers - aka the resurrection, called the first (partial collective, eschatological) resurrection, is the wedding, the union.

     “The door” closes to “the” millennium - noT to Life, closed forever. The door is to the wedding supper/banquet/reception and what comes after, up to the second, rest of humanity, eschatological vivification (Rev.21:5, the word “things” was/is inserted). This vivification is not simultaneous with its partner resurrection, but between the second resurrection and the second vivification is the GWT judgment ‘day’. And to “rise into the judgment” (‘day’) Jn.5:29, is to rise “still in ones sins” (not yet perfected). The judgment is the  GWT judgment ‘day’, elsewhere called an aion-ion kolasis (correction, with logical, INITIAL inner torment for some (few? comparatively speaking that is) aka, the condition of misery, being in the inner, outside of the light, darkness ..with gnashing of teeth.. think, for example, of a heartless and cruel despot, rising into the judgment radiance. But Jesus said he “will draw all” - Jn.12:32, so this tormented from within condition will progress to weeping, beating self up.. with many stripes.. And finally to heart and gut wrenching remorse - as he reviews the faces of those he so hurt and harmed, even killed. Think of a modern day child trafficker, where the child goes no one knows.

     But finally, after a while (purgatory flames are psychological) coming to realize ..God, loving Presence/Spirit (Holy Ghost all loving) and mercy.. “Christ Crucified”.. the remedy God instituted, it being strong enough to appease every conscience, even the worst. The initial condition of some is also portrayed in the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22.}

    And the angel said to me, “These are the true words of God!” 10 And I fell at his feet {overwhelmed?} to worship him, but he said, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit  of prophecy”. {Meaning it’s all worked out? All laid out.. We just need to be told/shown about it ..and follow, aka, conform. ..To our own, individual, highest blueprint. But it is not, as they say ‘all about me’. Not by a longshot, Lol!}

     11 Then I saw heaven opened, and look! There was a white horse! {The gospel, the Truth, which rode forth “openly victorious over powers and principalities”. Led to the Magna Charter, the Constitution.. individual rights and freedom. Nuclear family culture, some stability for a while..}

     And the one sitting upon the white horse is called “Faithful and True”. In righteousness he judges and makes war {rescues, vindicates, works justice}. 12 His eyes are like flames of fire (penetrate) and upon his head are many crowns. He has a name written that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe that was dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word/Message of God. {Master blueprint and plan. Embodiment of Truth.} 14 And the armies oF heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sWord (Truth!) with which to strike down the nations, and he will shepherd them (the nations/this is obviously future) with a rod (measuring rod) of iron (i.e. is un-breakable - truth cannot be broken, or done away with). He treads the winepress of the fury [thumos - from thuo - to rush {7 thunders? Well, six..} or to breathe hard] of the wrath [orgé - passion, wrath, indignation, a settled and abiding condition of mind with a view to justice {scales! Cause and effect!} Settled indignation going forth ‘wrath’/consequences] {at cruel and heartless evils, the passion} of God the Almighty. [Isaiah 13:9 - Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with fury and fierce anger - to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners from off it.] {But as cause and effect. Apocalypse is all man done. Even the final “bowls” called “of God’s wrath” ..The “seven thunders”? Though one is past. Rev.10:4 (over and out, six are future. Didn’t 13:13 pinpoint an oFFice? NoT an individual.. as of yet). Seal six but veiled by its description.} 16 On his robe and upon his thigh he has a name written, “King of kings and Lord of lords!” [Upon his robe - “Inscriptions on the outer garments were sometimes used by distinguished personages. The title anticipates the final victory.. And upon his thigh, upon the humanity he lived” - from biblehub dot com.] {The title and crowns, engraved as in stone, forever, enduring, unchangeable. All of heaven and earth fully convinced. God is Life and he “is Perfect”. Only perfect can work. How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? “Let us” Father and Son “make mankind in our likeness” ..They’re not done yet. “The lion will eat straw like the ox. The bear will graze with the cow” Isaiah 11:7.

Today’s GospeL Verses ~ Mark 13:9-13

(Jesus continues.) 9 -  “Be on your guard. For there will be those who will deliver you over to courts and councils, you’ll be beaten, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness to them. 10 And it is necessary that the gospel be first proclaimed to all nations. (Before the conclusion, 70 CE was the end of an era. There have been many ends of kingdoms, etc. And of course(?) there shall be a world collective conclusion.. “All the world’s a stage” Shakespeare. “And the ancient of days took his seat..” Dn.7)

     11 And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, don’t worry beforehand what you should say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit(/Presence of God, the Holy Ghost that has to fill all, what with being Life itself.) 12 And brother will deliver brother over to death, the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. 13 And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. (Sure is good to know God/Love/Perfection/Life wins all. The Harmony will be great, and all will have genuine affection for all.)

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                ~ 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 ~

26 - Consider your calling, not many of us were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise! God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong! 28 God chose what is humble and looked down upon in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are. 29 This is so no human being might boast in the presence of God. 30 And it’s because of him, that you are in Christ Jesus, in whom has become to us wisdom from God. And righteousness and sanctification [hagiasmos - consecration, process of advancing in purity, from hagios - sacred and pure, free of contamination] and redemption (from death and its cause) 31 so that, as it is written, “Let any one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” (Amen.) (God loves and welcomes us just as we are, none are without flaws! And we can trust God as a father. He has our best blueprint. He knows what he is doing. Other option than life as we presently, and have known it? A total ant farm. And what sort of paradise/perfection would thAt be!?)

Goofy Account Of My Morning

I had such a funny morning this morning. It was morning Quiet time and I was feeling very blessed. (I've been out of sorts lately and the Lord has been straightening me out. Thank Goodness.) So I was just sittin' there reading and contemplating, etc, feeling very wealthy. (I'm very rich in the people I know and get to go through life with! We're second only to the Lord in this, don't you know!!)
- I heard such great preaching (messages) on the radio the other day when I ran to town for weekly errands.. One being "the Seal of God on our heart, which, as we know, is the down payment and ``pledge`` of what shall be and all that is to come.. the Seal (loving thumbprint?) of the LORD on our heart-which cries 'my Father!' ..The Spirit being in our life proves we are His and all that brings" and the other message on Philippian's verses "rejoice in the Lord always! ..And again! I say rejoice! - It had been midnight, Paul and Silas were in jail (chained in jail) after having been beaten, and they were singing joyful songs to the LORD, when the earth shook and all the doors and chains of the jail opened.. the jailer and all his house was saved/believed, and it was to these folks/this 'church' the teacher on the radio said, who Paul wrote these words to: rejoice in the Lord always! And again - he said - rejoice!"
- So there I was this morning, in my recliner watching the birds eat out the window, with the cat all comfy beside me on the footrest part of the recliner, when I noticed the big spread wings of a bigger bird, or rather one wing, was all I saw of the bird. One of the big birds which fly higher.. and of course I thought of the "birds of midheaven" in the Book of Revelation. After a few moments I saw the top of the pine tree rustle. I had been looking, trying to see where the bird, likely a 'turkey buzzard' had gone. Although it's possible it was a hawk, but the color looked pretty dark. (I'm going to google 'turkey buzzard'. They have to have another name than that!)
- I can't help it, whenever I see a deer or other wild animal, or a big bird soaring, I always think of it as a 'hello' from 'above'. And I had just been particularly blessed.. Felt like I could almost see the peaceful stream of God's peaceful and joyful Spirit, the Holy Ghost (I love to call it!) His presence like a fountain of light and rich love, or stream from 'above' which fills us. I wanted to get up for a moment, but the cat was just so comfy! But it was right then she decided to try to sneak into my lap, don't you know, so I decided to get up. I was closing the footrest very slowly, giving Tipper a chance to get down, but even so, when I closed it, there she was with her tail softly trapped in the fold of the footrest. She looked at me like "what!" so I laughed, upon which the dog, big ole black lab, jumped up with a snarly bark, ready for whatever. Well now, the dog and cat are mortal enemies. (Tipper's not too friendly even after they've been living in this place together for three years or more now.) So she's very paranoid right about then! But we avoided calamity. I released the cat and she ran behind the other recliner and the dog laid back down after I laughed at him and told him too. (By this time Tipper knew I hadn't for some reason deliberately trapped her.. yes, we had that pet/person eye to eye thing going on and had reached an understanding.)
- Okay, so it's not as exciting as a blockbuster movie or anything, but I thought it was kind of kool and a bit funny ..and I've been neglecting this blog a bit lately.. (Have a Good day!:)

Words That Heal

Christians are supposed to be able to speak and pray healing by praying and speaking in the name of Jesus (as if for Him). And even raise the dead on occasion, and not by using a defibrillator... It seems to me it has to be some sort of speaking to the molecules.. And being the children of God, made in His image, is the key.. All part of God's grand agreement, signed in blood no less! (Such a signature is very dramatic, able to strike the heart of every creature). And the proof, pledge, and stamp of guarantee (old term being "surety") is His Presence with us which is the Holy Ghost flowing through us. The proof of His Presence is our heart crying "Father!" [Hooray! My Father! (Your Father, our Father..)]
...That peace which is like a river and swells up into joy.. But very few of us successfully pray or speak a lot of healing.. or maybe we just don't try, or don't have enough peaceful (que sera, sera) confidence..?

Holy Ghost Baptism

Acts 1:1-4

Contemporary English Version (CEV)

1 Theophilus, I first wrote to you about all that Jesus did and taught from the very first ² until he was taken up to heaven. But before he was taken up, he gave orders to the apostles who he had chosen with the help of the Holy Spirit.

³ For forty days after Jesus had suffered and died, he proved in many ways that he had been raised from death. He appeared to his apostles and spoke to them about God’s kingdom. ⁴ While he was still with them, he said: (basically) "..the Father will give you the gift and baptism of the Holy Ghost/Spirit.." A cornerstone of God's work and kingdom (which is ultimate reality) and a greatest miracle of all!
Acts 1:4,5 and 10:47

List of Rules or "The Way is Easy"

The Jerusalem Council "and the Holy Ghost" decided gentiles/non-Hebrews did not need to follow all the Law/s of Moses in order to be accepted and acceptable - the moral laws.. of course! But there were also civil laws and dietary laws included in the laws given for Israel in order to prepare a place for Messiah -- it says in the New Testament, God knew man cannot follow the standards of perfection, not now. And trying to, ties one up in knots.. sooner or later. (These days meats are given lots of antibiotics so not everyone needs to choose to have dietary rules. Others do, but both are clearly told not to judge each other concerning such things.)
- Romans 14, Hebrews, Colossians 2:16,17 and Hebrews 4:1

The Heavenly Wind

Isaiah chapter 11, verse 2 says "The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him". (And the rest of the chapter tells how he will subdue the world, "the wolf will dwell with the lamb, the lion will eat straw like the ox, etc.) Then we see at Jesus' baptism, how "the Spirit came down upon Him in the form of a dove and remained"... (John 1:33, which of course we can see by the heaven sent miracles of Jesus). Then after Jesus' death and resurrection (rescue of mankind) came the Day of Pentecost when the "Holy Spirit came down like a mighty wind filling the room where they were and lighting upon each one in tongues of fire". People in the street heard the wind when it came.. (Acts 2:1-6)
- "And God breathed the breath of Life into Adam and he became a living soul.." (Genesis 2:7)
