Hebrews 7:13-17 Luke 3:15-22 Mark 1:9-13

             ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 7:13-17

13 - The one these things are spoken about belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. 14 For it’s evident our Lord was descended from Judah. And about that tribe Moses didn’t say anything about priests.

     15 So this becomes even more evident when a new priest arises in the example of Melchizedek, 16 who is a priest, not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning one’s descent, but by the power of an indestructible {non-entropic} life. 17 For it is testified of him, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” {Who seemed, by the way met, to have a non ending priesthood.}

            🌙 P.M. Luke 3:15-22, Mark 1:9-13

15 - As the people were wondering about John, whether he might be the Christ, 16 he 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’ll baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with {his} fire! {Spirit.} 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 Satan with a pitchfork in his forever kingdom of pain, sorrow, and death, and 80% or more of all humanity.. Lol, God “is Perfect” Mt.5:48.}

     18 And with many other exhortations John proclaimed the 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 is the middle of three tellings of the revelation vision - with Mt.23:39) who had been publicly scolded by John for Herodias, his brother's wife, adding to all the evil he had already done, 20 he locked John up 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 {Presence of God in fullness} descended and alighted upon him 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 parting and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove. 11 And there 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 engineered this ‘quick’ one & done contrast/proof.} And he was with the wild animals {I bet they were friendly with him} and the angels ministered to him.

🌙 16 - The soldiers led Jesus out to the court of the governor’s palace and called together the rest of their battalion. 17 Then they clothed him in a purple robe, and twisted together a crown of thorns for him to wear. 18 And putting it on his head, they saluted him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 And they spit on him, striking his head with reeds and knelt down before him. 20 When they were done mocking him, they stripped him of the purple robe and put his own outer clothes back on him and led him out to be crucified/executed.

     21 On the way, they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. [Jesus had been severely flogged, remember, and then was beaten more.] 22 And they led him to the place called Golgotha, which means Place of the Skull. {Place of the skull - he went to death, the end of entropy/imperfection, for all, a ‘ransom’ and ultimately, an appeasing of even the guiltiest of consciences.}

     23 And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he didn’t take any. 24 And they crucified him. Some were dividing his garments, casting lots to see what each should take. [Fulfilling scripture, Ps.22:18.] 25 And it was the third hour. {Hour of the daily evening, or that is, the between the evening (shadows) sacrifice? Sentenced at the hour of daily morning one.} 26 And the inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.” [Ioudaios - from loudas - Judah or the region of Judea {yet the 12 tribes were there - via the census of Nehemiah after Cyrus king of Babylonia - which at the time once again included Assyria - said, “Let all Israel go home”. Ten northern tribes had been carried away to Assyria - their shield from the Holy Ghost/Spirit and Presence of YHVH/life having dissipated. This was in the early 700’s BCE. And then later, the southern tribes, called Judah, were carried to Babylon, in the late 500’s BCE. These were called “captivities” the Assyrian Captivity and the Babylonian captivity. One to a kingdom of war, the other to a kingdom of gold. Judah became another name for all Israel. But previously, due to civil war, the ten northern tribes were Israel, and the Southern were Judah. Each had a line of kings.}

     27 And with him, one on his left and one on his right, were two robbers also being crucified. {🤔Two robbers, two lines of kings.. Israel is the ‘micro’ prophecy and fulfillment, all humanity and last hours, the macro.}

     29 And those who passed by ridiculed him, shaking their heads and saying, “WhAt?! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days! 30 Save yourself, and come down from there!” {Just a pleasant late afternoon stroll out to the “Place of the Skull”?} 31 Also the leaders, the chief priests and scribes mocked him among theirselves, saying, “He saved others! But he can’t save himself!” 32 And, “Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down from the cross that we may see it, and believe!” And those who were crucified with him also threw insults at him.

1 - After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of king Herod the Great, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is he who’s been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and we’ve come to worship him.”

     3 Now when Herod heard this! He was vexed, and all Jerusalem {the powers that were} with him. 4 So assembling the leaders of the people, the chief priests and scribes, he questioned them where the Christ was prophesied to be born. 5 They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet, 6 ‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah. For from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’”

     7 Then Herod secretly having called the wise men inquired of them what time the star had appeared. 8 And he sent them on to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you’ve found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.”

     9 After this, the wise men {astronomer, astrologers} went on their way. And behold, the star they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. 10 And when they saw it, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And going inside, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they knelt and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And then warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.

By Necessity Paraphrased

Annual Daily Reading & Study

Zechariah 12 and 13

       snipped, paraphrased

The oracle of the LORD (Yahweh) concerning Israel: Thus declares the LORD, who stretched out the heavens and founded the earth and forms the spirit of man within him: 2 “Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of intoxication to the peoples surrounding her. The siege will be against Judah and Jerusalem. 3 On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all people. All who would heave it away will be severely injured.. For all the nations of earth will gather against it. 4 On that day, declares the LORD, I will strike every horse with panic, and its rider with madness. (Of the four? 1:8-10; 6:1-7,8) But for the sake of the house of Judah my eyes will be open, when I strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. 5 Then the clans of Judah shall say to themselves, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem have strength through the LORD of hosts, their God.’

     6 On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a blaze in the midst of wood, like a flaming torch among sheaves. And they shall devour to the right and to the left all the surrounding peoples, while Jerusalem shall again be inhabited in its place - in Jerusalem. 7 And the LORD will give salvation to Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not be greater than that of Judah. 8 On that day the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the angel of the Lord, going before them. 9 And on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. (I believe by cause and effect, which God created, so calls it his wrath, and as done by him.)

     10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and prayer, so that, when they look toward me, and on he whom they pierced, they will mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. 11 On that day  ..14 all the families that are left, each by itself, and their wives by themselves, mourning.

Zechariah 13

      “On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and impurity.

2 And I will cease the idols from the land, so they shall be thought of no more. And also I will remove from the land the prophets and the unclean spirit. 3 And if anyone again prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, ‘It is not life, for you speak lies in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and mother who bore him pierced through (the heart) when he prophesies. 4 On that day every prophet ..ashamed of his vision when he prophesies. He will not put on a cloak (fine clothes?) in order to deceive, 5 but will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a worker of the soil, for a man sold me in my youth.’ 6 And if one asks him, ‘What are these wounds on your back?’ he will say, ‘The wounds I received in the house of my friends.  - Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, against the man who stands next to me,” declares the LORD of hosts. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered. The hand will turn against the humble of the land. 8 In the whole land, two thirds will perish, and one third will be left alive (Rev.12:6, at 70CE). 9 And I will put this third into the fire (metaphor) and refine them as one refines silver, and test (improve) them as gold is tested. They will call upon my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people’ and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”
