            ☀️ A.M. 2 Timothy 1:10-18

(Paul writing a second letter to Timothy, Verse 9 “..who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of who we are or what we do, but because of hiS own purpose, and grace, which he gave us, in Christ Jesus, before the ages even began”  1O - and which now has been seen {and witnessed) through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light, through the good news that is proclaimed, 11 and for which I was appointed a preacher, apostle and teacher, 12 which is why I suffer as I do. But I’m not ashamed, for I know who it is I’ve believed, and I’m convinced he’s able to guard until that day, what has been entrusted to me. {When Jesus “returns” and begins his long second advent? Called gathering the wheat into the barn, at the culmination of the nations (still tares) having gathered to Armageddon battle.} 

     13 Follow the pattern and sound teaching you have heard from me. Continue in the faith and the love that are in Christ Jesus. 14 And by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, guard the good deposit [parathéké - deposit, trust, commitment].

     15 You’re aware all who are in Asia went away and left me on my own, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. {..It’s interesting that Jesus dictated (to John) seven letters to seven churches of Asia, which begin the Book of Revelation.}

     16 But may the Lord grant special mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains (house arrest in Rome). 17 Instead when he arrived in Rome he searched earnestly for me, and found me. 18 May the Lord grant him to find special kindness from the Lord on that day! And you well know all the service he rendered at Ephesus.

          🌙 P.M. Mt.27:11-26; Jn.19:1-13

11 - Jesus stood before the Roman governor, Pilate. And Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said, “You have said so.” {Not me.} 12 But as he was being accused by the chief priests and elders, Jesus gave no answer. 13 Then Pilate said to him, “Do you hear how many things they accuse you of?” 14 But he gave no answer to any charge, and the governor was greatly amazed.

     15 Now at the Passover feast he was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner whomever they might want. 16 And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 17 So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, “Who do you want me to release for you? Barabbas? Or this Jesus who is called Christ?” 18 For he knew it was out of envy the leaders had brought him to him.

     While he was sitting at the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, because I have suffered much over him today in a dream.” 20 Meanwhile the leaders, the chief priests and elders, had persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas, and have Jesus executed.

     21 The governor again said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” And they said, “Barabbas!” 22 Pilate said, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They called out, “Let him be crucified!” 23 And he said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him!”

     24 When Pilate saw his words were going nowhere, and that a mob was forming {mob mentality, instigated and maneuvered} and a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, and said, “I’m innocent of this man's blood! See to it yourselves.” 25 And all the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!” {Elsewhere it says judgment comes (mostly cause and effect) but no one is to try to aid it! But it’s a positive bet the spiritual adversary - seditious “angelos” will. And we see it on the rise in today’s world.}

    And from John’s account, JOHN 19:1 - Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged. 2 And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. And they put a purple robe on him, 3 and were saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapped and struck him.

     4 Pilate went out again and said to the crowd, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him.” 5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, having been flogged and beaten. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!” 6 When the leaders, the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” Pilate said, “Take him yourselves! And crucify him! For I find no guilt in him.”

     7 They answered him, “We have a law, and according to it he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God.” 8 Now when Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid. {For the Roman emperor was to be thought of as ‘god’ and no others. {All nations had a faint ancient memory of a promise of “a Son” (so part divine, and part human) as deliverer and savior - the promise given in Eden. Also memories of Eve “mother of all” and of the flood. Pre-flood having been a time of hands off.. To claim godhood in the Roman empire was punishable by death and execution.}

     9 Pilate entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 So Pilate said to him, “Will you not speak? Do you not know that I have authority to release you, and authority to crucify you?”

     11 Jesus said, “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.”

     12 From then on Pilate sought to release him, but they cried out all the more, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend! Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar!” 13 So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called the Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic called Gabbatha..

 • Romans 13:9-14  John 6:52-7:1 and  ACTS 17:15-34

           ☀️ Romans 13:9-14

9 - The commandments, “Don’t commit adultery, don’t murder, don’t steal, don’t covet,” and any other commandment, is summed up in this — “Love your neighbor {fellow person} as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to another. Therefore - love is the fulfilling of the law.

     11 And you know the day, that it’s late, and an hour to wake from sleep. For we’re nearer now to salvation than when we first believed! {At the Lord’s return, those who are his, dead and alive, will “put on perfection and {thus} immortality”, Heb.11:40. No more entropy toward death.}

     12 The night is far spent! And a new day is at hand. {Both spiritually speaking, aNd, literally, as 70 CE was not far off, and a new spiritual age, the years of our Lord, AD. was beginning, Rev.6:1-2.}

     So then! Let us cast off all works of darkness, and “put on” the armor of Light. 13 Let us walk properly as in daylight, and not in {pagan rites of} orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. {Not in accusation, slander, division.} 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision to gratify the flesh {the lower selfish and contrary nature}. {We, the world and its fashions and allures can put on sheep’s clothing? And some can even believe their own masquerade.. Others can be up to no good. It’s why God prophesied to Eve, the man/stronger would rule woman (for quite some time and still in some places and cases). In this ‘dimension’ called “Imperfect”.. well, history is a very sad commentary to it. We should always pray for peace.. Everywhere. And be peacemakers because love is the fruit God loves! And division is the siren call to armageddons, large and small? Is.24:20, Rev.10:4; Ps.91,46,23, Rev.7:15-17.}

            🌙 John 6:52-7:1

52 - The people were questioning and saying to one another, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat!” 53 So Jesus said, “Truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you!” {A spiritual, yet very real partaking, yet there were ancient abysmal practices of humanity, especially during the hands off, pre-flood age?} 

     54 “Whoever feeds on my flesh (Ps.1) and drinks my blood/life has enduring life, and I will raise them up on the last day. 55 For this is true food, and true drink. [“I am the vine, you are the branches” ..that will bear fruit if succored and “abiding on the vine”, the true vine.] 56 “Whoever feeds on me and drinks of me, abides in me, and I in them.

     57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, this means whoever feeds upon me, will also live. 58 For this is the bread {for you} come down from heaven, not like the bread (manna) the fathers ate” (during wandering years in the desert under Moses) “and later they died. But whoever feeds on this bread, will live into the age [aion].” 59 Jesus said these things in the synagogue, as he taught at Capernaum.

     60 But when many heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying! Who can bear it?” 61 But Jesus, knowing it, said, “Do you take offense at this? 62 Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

     63 It’s the Spirit{/Presence of God} that GIVES life. The flesh {and relying on self?} is no help at all. The words that I’m speaking to you are spirit and Life. 64 But there are some of you who don’t believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who would believe and who wouldn’t, and knew who would betray him.

     65 And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father grants it.” 66 After this many turned back and no longer walked with him. {Interesting #’s Jn.6:66.}

     67 Jesus asked the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” 68 Simon Peter said, “Lord, to whom would we go?! You have the words of enduring life! 69 We believe, and we know, that you are the Holy One of God.”

     70 Jesus said, “Did I not choose you twelve, yet one of you is a devil?” 71 He was speaking of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, though one of the twelve, was going to betray him.

     7 After this Jesus went about in Galilee, and not in Judea, because the leaders were seeking how they might have him killed.

 • Romans 13:1-8  John 6:41-51

           ☀️ Romans 13:1-8

{Dear (Roman) brothers and sisters, although pagan concepts, we all renounce, are woven into the civil order} 1 - Let every person be subject to the authorities, not being disorderly and rebellious. For order is from God. 2 So whoever resists order resists what God decrees, and the disorderly bring troubles upon theirselves. 3 Civil authority isn’t meant to be a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of authority? Then do what is good, and you’ll receive approval, 4 for the authority is a servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he doesn’t police in vain but is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer.

     5 Therefore we must subject ourself, not only to avoid God's wrath {suffer consequences} but also for the sake of conscience. 6 We pay taxes for the same reason, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. 7 {What I mean is} Pay to all what is owed to them, taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.

     8 Fulfill so as to owe no one anything! Except to love one aother, for those who love their fellow person has fulfilled the law.

            🌙 John 6:41-51

41 - Jesus’ townspeople were grumbling to one another about him, because he said, “I’m the bread come down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Isn’t this Jesus! The son of Joseph? Whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I’ve come down from heaven’?!” 43 Jesus said, “Don’t murmur [gogguzó - grumble, murmur, mutter, whisper, complain] among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them. And I will raise them up on the last day.

     45 As it says in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ And everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from Him. He has seen the Father. 47 Truly, I tell you whoever believes has enduring [aionios, aionion - agelasting, of an age] life. {Life of the age.. in the case of the “putting on immortality” of 1 Cor.15:53, and later Rev.21:5, it’s Life of/pertaining to, the age of forever?}

     48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 But this is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it [be nourished by it] and not die [apothnéskó - die, perish].

     51 I am the living bread come down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, they will live into [eis - into, in, unto, to, upon, towards, for, among] the aion. And the bread and sacrifice I give is for the life of the world [kosmos - world, universe, order, display].

            ☀️ Romans 4:1-8

1 - What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the natural? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about. But not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.”

     4 Now to the one who works, his wages aren’t counted as a gift! But as his due, and what he has earned. 5 Yet to the one who doesn’t work {to earn Life, relying on one’s effort} but believes in he who justifies the ungodly {and imperfect} their faith is reckoned as righteousness. 6 This is just as David spoke of the blessing of the one to whom God reckons as righteous, apart from works. {Apart from trying to earn what GOD says is a gift. Just like life is a gift. BE a whole burnt offering to him. Yielded into his hands for the transforming POWER - “Let us” Father and Son “make mankind in our image” {reflection, likeness, replication}.

     7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the person, upon whom the LORD will not reckon sin [hamartia - missing the mark].” {Slate is clean.. born again of the Spirit/Presence of God, with one “rule” - not to earn, but for one’s own self -  love God (pursue, listen, his voice is in the Quietness). Rule 1 fulfills all others, for in it is genuine love and affection for our fellow person. And “love works no ill”. But we do not “put on perfection and (thus) immortality” until the resurrection at his return for long second advent. Rev.16:13-15-16 and Mt.25:1-13 as Mt.13:30.}

            🌙 Matthew 8:18-27

18 - There was such a big crowd following Jesus, that he decided to go to the other side of the lake. 19 And a scribe came up and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go!” 20 But Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

     21 Another disciple [mathétés - disciple, learner, pupil] said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 22 And Jesus said, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.” {Entropic. Imperfect =‘s entropy, the slow gehenna fire that cannot be put out. And the worm that doesn’t quit, in this living ‘parable’ of the decomposing ‘apple’.}

     23 And when he got into the boat, the twelve did as well. 24 But there arose a great storm and the boat was being swamped by the waves.

     Meanwhile Jesus was sleeping. 25 So they woke him, and said, “Save us, Lord! We’re perishing!” 26 And he said, “Why are you afraid, oh ye of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the waves, and there was a great calm. 27 And the men marveled, saying, “What manner of man is this, that even the winds and sea obey him?”

            ☀️ Romans 2:6-16

6 - ..He will give to each one, according to their works and actions. 7 To those who with patient forbearance pursue the good - there will be glory, honor and immortality, (for) they are seeking life aionion. {Seeking Life. Good, Communion. Unity.}

     8 But for those who are self-seeking and not obeying the truth, being convinced of unrighteousness, there remains the wrath {cause and effect} and a rising indignation upon every soul working evil. {A natural law because God iS life, and “is perfect” so imperfect is this slow and unavoidable gehenna? Unavoidable because an ant farm is no paradise/perfection? And would not be genuine Life.}

     10 But glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good. 11 For God shows no partiality. 12 All who have sinned [hamartanó - missed the mark, erred] whether with (knowing) the law, or without the law {of Moses, the ten society preserving laws} will perish. All according to law. {Ultimately, the law that God is Life and “is Perfect”. So imperfect is a process “not put out” - opposite to Life - and headed away from life. So “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10. “HE has subjected all to disobedience” {to this straying, imperfection} Ro.11:32. {By waiting for a first going rogue one, a high seraphim? Only then - creating the universe and appointing that one as a “covering angel over Eden”. And so, all of heaven and all of earth are taking this unavoidable journey all together at once.}

    13 It’s not hearers who are righteous before God, but doers. 14 For when Gentiles {these days, not yet believers} who don’t understand the law, by nature do as the law says, 15 it shows it’s written in their hearts, and they’re following a good conscience. Our thoughts will accuse or excuse us, 16 on that ‘day’ when God will judge the secrets of men/mankind according to the gospel (news) of Christ Jesus.

(Jesus’ “Sermon on the Mountain” continued.) 38 - “You have heard it said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?’ 39 I say to you, don’t resist evil. If someone should slap you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek. 40 And if anyone would sue you and take your shirt, let them have your coat as well.

     41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two. 42 Give to the one who asks from you, and don’t refuse the one who would borrow.

     43 You’ve heard it said, ‘You shall love your neighbor/fellow person, and hate your enemy.’ 44 Well I say, love your enemies and pray for those who misuse you! 45 So you may be sons and daughters of your Father who’s in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise upon both evil and good, and sends rain upon the just and the unjust.

     46 If you love only those who love you, of what benefit is that? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?” [Irony, Matthew, the author, was a tax collector before following Jesus. ..Hebrew tax collectors for occupier Rome, so considered by society, as low in society.]

     47 “And if you greet only your brethren and friends, what more are you doing than others? Don’t even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father” {who iS Life} “is perfect”.

and Acts 13 1-42 separately

            ☀️ 2 Corinthians 11:30-12:5

30 - If I (Paul) boast, I think I should be boasting of the things that show my weakness! 31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus, he who is blessed forever, knows that I’m not lying about all I’ve been through.

     {Who is Paul? He was a high Pharisee whose name was Saul - “Saul was trying to destroy the faith. He was going from house to house, and dragging off men and women and putting them in prison” and he encouraged and approved the stoning of Stephen, Acts 7:58, 8:1. Until stopped by Jesus (Acts 9:1-9) who said (Acts 9:15-16) “This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the nations and their kings, and to the people of Israel. I will show him how much he must suffer for my name”.}

     32 Then there was the time at Damascus, the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city in order to seize me. 33 But I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped.

     12:1 - Though there’s nothing to be gained by it, this acting the fool and boasting, I’ll go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2 Be aware of a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether bodily or in mind, I don’t know, God knows. 3 And I know that this man was caught up into paradise 4 and heard things that are beyond understanding, which man cannot express. 5 On behalf of this man I’ll boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses!

            🌙 John 3:25-4:3

25 - Now a discussion arose between some of John's disciples and another person over purification. 26 So they went to John and said, “Rabbi, he who was with you across the Jordan, the one you bore witness of, is now baptizing. And everyone is going to him.”

     27 John answered, “A person can’t receive even one thing unless it’s given to them from heaven. 28 You yourselves know I said, I’m not the Christ. But I’ve been sent before him. 29 It’s the one who has the bride, who’s the bridegroom.” [A ‘runner’ and announcer would “go before” the bridegroom’s arrival in a Hebrew wedding.] “The friend of the bridegroom, who’s been watching and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice.” {Which tells him it’s time to go before, and announce his coming.} “Therefore this joy of mine is now complete!

     30 He must increase, and I will decrease. 31 He who comes from above is above all. He who is of earth belongs to the earth and speaks in an earthly manner. He who comes from heaven is above all [pas - all, every, the whole]. 32 He bears witness to/testifies of what he has seen and heard. Yet no one receives it {listens, hears it}. 33 Whoever receives his testimony sets this seal, that God is true. {And is telling the truth. Faithful!} 34 And he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for {upon him} without measure is the Spirit given. 35 For the Father loves the Son and has given all [pas - all, every, the whole] into His hand. 36 Whoever believes in the Son has enduring [aionion/eonian] {brightness of} life” {during this age, and will rise into “the” millennium, first half of Jesus’ long second advent}. “And whoever is not obeying the Son doesn’t {yet} see life, but the ‘wrath’ of God is still present with them. {Cause and effect, which is entropy “which doesn’t quit’. The wrath [orge - passion] of God being cause and effect as opposed to a merely mechanic, robotic universe that’a only a mere ant farm. — To believe is to become part of the “first resurrection” which is when entropy is checked by “putting on perfection/incorruption” a total vivification.

     Imperfect came about from the state of strayed (somewhat) from God who iS Life (surely?) and “is Perfect” - thus the word “reconciled”.

     Rev.21:5 “behold I make all new” is the second total vivification [“putting on perfection and (thus) immortality”] to which translators added the word “things” to pas/all.

     Now, the Rev.21:5 second vivification is separated from the “second resurrection” by the GWT judgment/discernment/review/closure for all ‘day’ (“aionion”). 🗝️ Revelation chapter 20 is told like describing the crests of waves and not much of the in between.}

    4:1 - Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John, 2 although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but only his disciples did. 3 So he left Judea and went back to Galilee.
