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.}

  🕊️a reading & study 🕊️

(Parable of the vineyard continued) 14 - “But when the tenants {I just saw the word tenants as tyrants, reading too much politics!} When they saw the son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir! Let’s kill him! The inheritance will be ours!’ 15 So they killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. What then will the owner of the vineyard do? 16 He will evict and make war with those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, knowing his meaning, they said, “Surely not!” 17 But looking directly at them he said, “What does this mean then that’s written? ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the main cornerstone’? {The building block. The foundation.} 18 Everyone falling on that stone {truth} will be broken, but to have it fall upon you, is to be crushed.” {Winnowing the wheat, chaff beaten from off the grain, the kernal. Truth is the “iron rod”/the unable to be broken measure/measuring rod.}

     19 The scribes and the chief priests (leaders, authorities) sought to lay hands on him at that very hour. For they knew he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people. {And the parable was fulfilled in 70 CE. If God is denied/rejected, it’s a natural consequence that his shield against the adversary’s hate and rage will fade.. They await resurrection into “aionion kolasin”/eonian korrection/age of correction, Mt.25:46, the original.}

ACTS 26 1-18

       BooK of Acts of the First Believers

                      (Paraphrased)

1 - King Agrippa then told Paul he could speak his defense, so Paul said, 2 “King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate to stand before you today as I make my defense against the accusations of the leaders of my nation. 3 Especially as you are well acquainted with our customs and our controversies. Therefore, I ask you to patiently hear me. 4 The Jewish/Hebrew people all know the way I’ve lived ever since I was a child, from the beginning of my life in my native land, and in Jerusalem. 5 They have known me for a long time and can testify, if willing, that I conformed to the strictest sect of our religion, as a Pharisee. 6 And now it’s because of my hope in what God has promised our ancestors, that I’m on trial today. 7 This is the promise our twelve tribes are hoping to see fulfilled! As we earnestly serve God day and night.”

     King Agrippa, it is because of this hope that I am being accused. 8 Why should anyone consider it unbelievable that God raises the dead? 9 Originally, I too was convinced that I should do all in my power to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 10 And I did just that, by the authority of the chief priests, first in Jerusalem, I put many of the Lord’s people in prison, and when they were put to death, my vote was cast against them! (He watched over the coats of those who stoned Stephen.. “they laid their coats at the feet of one Saul:Paul of Tarsus..” Something more there than watching the coats?🤷🏼‍♀️)

     11 Many a time I went from one synagogue to the next to punish them with vengeance, and I tried to force them to recant and blaspheme. I was so obsessed, I even hunted them down in foreign cities.

     12 And on one such journey I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests/leaders. 13 And at about noon, King Agrippa, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven. It was brighter than the sun! Blazing around us. 14 And we all fell to the ground. Then I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic (Hebrew dialect, not Greek which brought with it, its myths) ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It’s hard for you to kick against the goads’ [kentron - sharp points]. {Ouch.}

     15 Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ ‘I’m Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ he answered.

     16 ‘Now rise up, for I’ve appeared to you to appoint you as a servant, as a witness of what you have seen pf me, and what you will see. 17 I’ll rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles (those of the nations). I’m sending you 18 to open their eyes, so they may turn from darkness to light. And from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins [hamartia - missing the mark] and share in an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in Me.’”

{God is Life and “is perfect”. Top, and forever unbreakable law (in bible speak “iron rod”?) Life can only be Perfect.. But God did not opt for creating only an ant farm, so things are running their course. Jn.12:32, 1Tim.4:10..}

Revelation 21 10-22

 WeeKly BooK oF Revelation

      By Necessity Slightly 

             Paraphrased     

10 - And he (an angel) carried me (John) in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down from heaven, from God. 11 It was radiant with the glory of God, like a stone most precious, like jasper, and clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall of twelve gates, with twelve angels at the gates. And on them were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. (All believers are “grafted INTO Israel” Ro.11:17-26.) 13 There were three gates facing east, three facing north, three south and three west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold with which to measure the city, the gates and the walls. (Side Note - a rod is a measuring stick, the “iron rod” Jesus will rule the nations with is Truth, which is unbreakable, an unbreakable measure, that breaks all that is not true.) 16 The city was square, and as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. [Stadia - a greek measurement, stadium length, the length of a race course,  furlong which is an 8th of a mile - 12,000 stadia, between 1,300 to 1,400 miles?) 17 The angel measured the wall using human and angel measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick. 18 The wall was of jasper, the city of pure gold, and pure as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The city had twelve foundations, each made of a precious stone, the first jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were of pearl, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure and clear as glass. 22 I didn’t see in the city, a temple, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
