     07/20 - GospeL Verses

17 - After being up on the mountain, praying during the night, he came down into a great crowd of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon. 18 They came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses and diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were also cured. 19 And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.

     20 Looking out upon the crowd of people, he said to them, “Blessed are you, the poor, for the kingdom of God is yours. 21 Blessed are those hungering now, for they will be filled. Blessed are those who weep now, for they shall laugh. 22 Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you {are not inclusive} and insult and slander, you, as evil, on account of the Son of Man! 23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy. For your reward, stored in heaven, is great. For so were the prophets treated.” {Like the red horseman response to the white horse and horseman (the gospel) riding forth, as “a sword not peace” at 1st brief advent.}

     24 “But woe to you who are rich [apechó - to have in full, receive, be distant, abstain {from God!}]. For you are receiving your leisure now. 25 Woe to you not hungering now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you laughing now” {because of evil doings and plots?} “for you will mourn and weep.” {Due to earthly judgments/consequences, and the solemn judgment within the heart during GWT Judgment ‘Day’. In some cases deep heart and gut wrenching remorse.. but Jn.12:32. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus portrays initiaL, inner conditions, of some, during GWT Judgment ‘Day’. As does the - outside of the vision - narrative, of Rev.22.] 26 “Woe to you, when the world speaks well of you” {and of today’s - of the world - “false prophet”] “for so the fathers listened to their false prophets.

     27 But I say to you who hear [akouó - listen, hear, understand] love your enemies. Do good to those who despise you. 28 Bless those who curse” {speak evil of, slander, accuse, as cursing?} “you. And pray for those who abuse {accuse, slander?} you. 29 If someone strikes you on the cheek, offer your other cheek as well. And from one who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your shirt.” {Individual, not collective, as collective is the state doing so, impacting the people, and seldom them. Though of course it puts a good face on it. Talks a good talk. You can give away the shirt off your own back, but not off the backs of others. And the state in turn gives the shirt actually to itself. Hello?}

     05/08 - GospeL Verses 

37 - And though he had done so many signs before the people, they still didn’t believe, 38 so the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled - “Lord, who has believed his report? And to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed?” 39 Therefore they couldn’t believe. For Isaiah had said (prophesied), 40 “HE has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.” 41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him.

     42 Nevertheless, many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they didn’t admit it, fearing they would be put out of {polite society} the synagogue, 43 for they esteemed the glory {and opinion} of man {and society of the day} more than the {opinion of and} glory that comes from God.

     44 So Jesus had cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me! Believes not in me but in he who sent me.” {The Son being the only straight out from God one, so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence, same as will saturate thus “seal” humanity and creation.} 45 “And whoever sees me, sees he who sent me. 46 I came into the world as light - so that whoever believes in me will not have to remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and doesn’t keep them, I don’t judge them. For I didn’t come to judge the world, but to save the world.

     48 Whoever rejects me, and doesn’t receive my words has a judge. The word [truth, logos - “reasoning”/logic] that I have spoken will judge them in the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment - what to say and speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is enduring [aionion] Life. What I say, therefore, is what the Father has told me to say.

      (“In the last day” - IN, is en, a preposition – meaning, properly - in, inside of, within, figuratively - in the realm/sphere of. Translated - “during” - seven times. During the last day, the “8th ‘day’” which follows the millennial Sabbath rest from enmity and the adversary.. Main outline, the week plus one.. the biG bang into the universe that is, theN was set in motion.. no option to stray in Eden would be humanity as an ant farm, so things run their course for six millennial days, then a Sabbath millennium,  followed by an “8th day” - for the fieRy defeat of the adversary and then the GWT judgment (the total discernment plus full closure for all) ‘day’ — veiled by Rev.20 being as though describing the crests of waves and not much of the in between. ..Father loves a good riddle? An outline within the first outline of - the week plus one - is the holy days of Lev.23, Spring and Fall, prophesying 1st and 2nd advents.)

JOHN 3 25 - 4 2

   🍃🕊️01/08 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️

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 all are going to him.” 27 John answered them, “A person cannot receive even one thing unless it’s given from heaven. 28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I’m not the Christ, but have 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 stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. (Telling him to announce.) 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 way. 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. 34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for without measure does he bestow the Spirit. 35 The Father loves the Son and has given all [pas - all, every, the whole, to which translators through partial unbelief(?) inserted the word “things”] 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 does not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon them. {The wrath/orge/passion of God being cause and effect as opposed to a merely mechanic, robotic universe containing an 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 by the state of strayed (somewhat) from God who is Life and “is Perfect” - thus the word “reconciled”. Rev.21:5 is (the) second total vivification, to which translators inserted the word “things”. Separated from the “second resurrection” by GWT judgment ‘day’ (“aionion”).}

    4:1 - Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples).. {Due to human error, mine, the reading for today stops here? lol)

JOHN 1 35-51

  🍃🕊️01/03 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️

35 - The next day John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 when he saw Jesus as he was walking by and he said, “Look! The Lamb of God!” {Why? Why a sacrifice? (As portrayed in the O.T. worship. Fulfilled via the only straight out from God one. Forever firstborn Son.) Imagine yourself waking up into the radiance of the GWT judgment ‘day’ and you had been a child sex trafficker.. Or even ‘just’ a child labor trafficker.. Or you had been a cruel and heartless despot, abusing and harming untold numbers of, vulnerable to you, people.. Ultimately is it God’s anger at you that needs to be appeased? As God who is Love (Life and “is Perfect”) would he by then pity you more than hate you? I am very much convinced it is the human conscience that hAs to be appeased.. Imagine the gut wrenching remorse some human players will ultimately experience.. And doesn’t God in his total wisdom, know that’s the onLy “correction” (punishment if you prefer like the partially unbelieving translators) that actually works? Surely the condition of inner, outside of the light darkness, portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable, and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22, are INITIAL conditions of SOME during that “last great day” ..the “8th day” (second ‘day’ of Jesus’ long second advent -> 1Cor.15:27-28 “all” repeated five times. Changed into ‘all things’ however. Hello?)

     “The” millennium/further “training”? Also Sabbath from the adversary&co. to the --> Palin/again war to the —> 500 years (Lev.23) of GWT judgment and discernment ‘day’ an “aionion kolasis, to —> “the regeneration” greek palin/again-genesis, about which God says “behold! I make all new!” Rev.21:(1-)5. — “In the beginning” - the Light. And a biG banG into the universe as is (asis) and theN it was set in motion.. Lev.23 - For 6 millennium things let to run course, interfering only when demise was imminent during formative ages. No option to stray in Eden, and creation would be an ant farm? SO the remedy was “built in”.}

     37 The two disciples of John heard him say this, so they left and followed Jesus. 38 Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” 39 He said to them, “Come and see.” So they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour (about 4pm). 40 One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which means Christ). 42 He brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter).

     43 The next day Jesus went to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip went and found Nathanael (Mt.10:3, is Bartholomew?) and said to him, “We have found he of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote! Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” 46 Nathanael said, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said, “Come and see.”

     47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said, “An Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deception!” 48 Nathanael said, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Nathanael said, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” 50 Jesus answered, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ you believe? I tell you, you will see greater things than that. 51 You will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending to the Son of Man.” [Rev.12:5]

Tomorrows verses - John 2:1-12

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.

1 Corinthians 6:9-13

 11/05 ~ From New Testament Letters

        (In the Order Believed Written)

           By Necessity Paraphrased

9 - Or do you not know that unrighteousness cannot inherit the kingdom of God? Don’t be deceived, neither being sexually immoral, nor an idolater, adulterer, practicing homosexual, 10 nor thieves, greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, or swindlers are (yet) inheriting (by no means) the kingdom of God! (It’s just not possible, same for backbiters, argumentative, slandering God, polluting God’s human temples with bad doctrine/unTruth. But God LOVES “all”. ..He might be a bit angry at cruel and heartless despots.. child traffickers, what so many just don’t get - either the Greek or the Old Testament Hebrew word for anger means “smoke out the nostril”😮 - until theY judge theirself.. Can we imagine, eventually, during GWT judgment ‘day’, the gut wrenching remorse? ..The beating theirself with many stripes for the many lives (and psyches) they brought much suffering to. A child trafficker!! Of course that’s progress after the initial, inner, outside of the Light darkness.. gnashjng of teeth ..closure for victims.. closure for all things on that day! Finally they realize Christ Crucified, their weeping can end, their guilty conscience be appeased. {Um, more weeping, I’m sure but not the gnashing of teeth weeping, but the cleansing of the heart weeping, which will let in fresh streams of life and rays of light. We’re all going to enter the household/family of God. He “is Perfect” how could we ever doubt? We can trust him, and take the upper road of his instructions.} 11 And such were some of us. But we were washed [apoloúō - from apó - away from, and loúō - wash, so wash away, this strengthened form of loúō (to wash) refers to an entire washing] you were sanctified [hagiazó - to make holy, consecrate, sanctify] you were justified [dikaioó - to show to be righteous, declare righteous {maKe righteous by his Spirit/Presence. HE does it}] in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and BY the Spirit of our God.

     12 As they say, “all things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. All things are lawful for me (like wine.. “God made wine to make merry the heart of man” Ps.103, meat eating as it affected fellow believers) but I (Paul) will not be dominated by anything! 13 Food is meant for the belly and the belly for food”. And God will do away with? dial back? both. (There’s fruit on the Revelation 21 “new earth”.) The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. {Like food for the belly! And the belly for food!}

GospeL Verses ~ Luke 7:11-23

11 - Soon Jesus and his disciples were on the way to Nain, while a great crowd was following along. 12 As they drew near to the town gate, there was a young man who had died and was being carried out, the only son of his mother. She was a widow, and a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, he felt sympathy for her. He said to her, “Don’t weep” 14 and he came up and touched the bier. And so the bearers stood still, and he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” 15 And the dead man sat up and started talking, and Jesus gave him to his mother. 16 Fearful amazement seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen among us!” and “God has visited his people!”

     17 This report about Jesus spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding countryside. 18 And the disciples of John reported all these things to him. And so John 19 called two of his disciples to him and sent them to the Lord, to say, “Are you the one who is to come? Or shall we look for another?” 20 When they came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?’” 21 In that very hour Jesus had healed many people of diseases, plagues, and evil spirits, and on many who were blind he had bestowed sight. 22 So he answered, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard - that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up.” (I’m convinced this is a slice and example of GWT ‘day’/age.) “The poor have good news preached to them. 23 And blessed are those not offended by me.” (Though of course some will rise into GWT judgment ‘day’ initially, as portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable and in the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22 - the inner, outside of the light darkness and gnashing of teeth, but will progress, to weeping, beating self up.. to heartfelt remorse - imagine the heartless cruel ones, despots, traffickers.. for some, gut wrenching remorse. Which is just as it should be. GWT ‘day’ being a day of closure for all, and all things.. Surely?)

                ~ Hebrews 11:17-21 ~

17 - By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac. (A portrayal of the heavenly Father and Son, lest we take it lightly, and a test for Abraham.) And he who had received the promises, was in the act of offering up his only son, whom he was to receive the promises through! 18 For God had said, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 19 (Logically then) he considered God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.

     20 And by faith Isaac invoked future blessings upon Jacob and Esau. 21 By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the (twelve) sons of Joseph, while bowing in worship over the head of his staff.

GospeL Verses ~ Luke 6:39-49

39 - Jesus told a parable, he said, “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a ditch? 40 A disciple isn’t above their teacher, but everyone when they are fully trained will be like their teacher.

     41 Why do you see the speck in your brother/sister's eye, but don’t notice the log that is in your own eye?42 How can you say, ‘Let me take out that speck that is in your eye,’ when you don’t see the log that is in your eye? (View our own shortcomings as greater than another’s.) You pretender, first take the log out of your own eye. Then you’ll be able to see clearly to take out the speck that’s in the other’s eye.

     43 You know that no good tree bears bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 And each tree is known by its own fruit. Figs aren’t gathered from thorn bushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 The good person out of the good treasure of their heart produces good, and the evil [poneros - toilsome, bad] person out of his store/heart produces evil [poneros - toilsome, bad]. For out of the abundance of the heart does a person speak.

     46 “Why would anyone call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I say? 47 Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, he digs deep and lays the foundation on the rock. And when a flood comes, the waters will break against the house and will not shake it, because it has been built well. 49 But the one who hears, and doesn’t do, is like a man who builds his house on earth without a foundation. When the waters break upon it, it will fall, and the ruin of the house will be great.”

     Mt.7:22 says - “On judgment ‘day’ many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name, cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name!’”

     (But they missed the door into serving during the Lord’s long second advent, because they didn’t really do the things HE said.. And the ruin was great. But, Jn.12:32 and 1Tim.4:10! Also Rev.21:5, Eph.1:10, and 1Cor.15:22-24,28 w/ Mt.13:33-key word 3.)

                ~ Hebrews 11:11-13 ~

11 - By faith Sarah received power to conceive, even though she was past the age, this is because she considered him faithful who had promised.12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead [they were in their old age] were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and the uncountable grains of sand by the seashore. (Ultimately all humanity because “the seed” of Abraham, Jesus, will have been birthed aNd grown to maturity within all. And God is all in all. “If you belong to Jesus then you aRe the seed of Abraham” and will be, Gal.3:29  - “as many as the stars of heaven and the uncountable grains of sand by the seashore”.

     13 These all died in faith, not having received all that is promised, but having seen the promises and welcomed them from afar, acknowledging that they were but strangers and pilgrims upon the earth.

Is.11:7 - The lion will eat straw like the ox!⛲️

                📜🍞+🍷🕊️(+Logic)

           Be a whole burnt offering w/

             prayer like incense so this

                  gehenna, life as we

                    presently know it,

                      will make all of 

                         us clear as 

                            crystal.

The Disease Is The Cure

I’m convinced the dis-ease is the cure.. that this aLL-important contrast iS the crucible, laver and sieve, a slow gehenna. There’s big trends on to push away the scripture. This is because we’ve been taught to read it wrong! But the angle and focus that fits is revealed in the wheat and tares (weeds) parable. We all, of course are born wild weeds in God’s garden. Parables, I think, portray literal things, cause and effect, and logic. And concerning this one, what sort of fire do we gather our weeds of the garden to? A bonfire. So in the literal, to a gehenna flared up. The tares are gathered (surely?) to armageddon, mankind’s last war battle. Mt.13:30 being Rev.16:13-16.

     There are two resurrections, we know this because one is called “first” and in the same verse it says “the rest of the dead don’t rise until after *the* thousand years”. So the wheat (who’s chaff has been removed) “rise into Life” into the thousand years (represented by the ten days between Trumpets and DOA, lev.23) - Mt.25:13, they enter the bright procession and go through the door of the “ten bridesmaid’s parable”. And the still wild weeds (tares) rise into the GWT judgment ‘day’ that begins after the Sabbath millennium of a thousand years, Jn.5:28-19. Surely this ‘day’ will include closure concerning aLL things. Can we doubt the creator’s thoroughness? And skills of organization?

     So.. Just because the message has been gotten - anywhere between somewhat to all wrong - is no reason to toss out the message!

The Millennium

 A question I’ve had for a while concerns “the” millennium. Perhaps there iS a sort of laisez faire gospel where the message is you’re saved, it’s a gift.. Just do your best to treat your fellow person fairly. They kind of follow at a distance. But there’s another crowd that for them it’s God or nothing. Truth or nothing. Impelled to seek, ask, knock. And, or, is it that we all go through the two stages?

     So then comes that last trumpet’s sounding. And we have the parable of the ten bridesmaids, five run low on oil for the lamps for joining in the bright procession.. Which procession goes in to the wedding reception, the union reception, the union banquet. And the door is shut and bolted. It’s not a door shut to forever life. It’s the door to the wedding reception. The resurrection and catching away is the uniting, the wedding. It’s bright, it’s radiant. We need enough oil in our lamps to stay in the Light, the radiance. Yes? (Like in dreams, we are dual characters, both the bride and the bridesmaids, one of God’s ways of riddling, whereby he hides truth in plain sight.)

     My question is one of degrees, I guess. We have to “know Jesus” - that’s the light, yes? The oil. If we’re going to advise others, what distance is the safe distance from which to follow after the Lord? Remember, he does return “in fire” (and with his angels). The parable of the wheat and tares is obviously his returning during man’s armageddon fire. Revelation chapter 16, verses, thirteen through sixteen, the gathering to armageddon having gathered. So one gathering is preferable to the other? As a believer, the first resurrection superior to the second.

     The other side of the coin, I guess, is degrees - during - the millennium. I simply cannot believe in any instantaneous transformation. So do the degrees before the catching away carry over into the millennium? ..I’m very inclined to believe they do. That they must. There’s a few who think God wipes the slate, the memory completely clean as to this life. But what logic is there to that? This has been God’s program, creation process, from the beginning. It’s not ‘oh my something went wrong, now to rescue and wipe the memories of it out.. Contraire! The armageddon “smoke of it shall rise forever and ever..” And just how does it rise forever when ultimately there’s a total, universal regenesis? The “regeneration” greek word “palin/again-genesis” palingenesis. A regenesis, a “furious burning of elements”, the total gehenna fast forwarded.

     As opposed to this slow motion gehenna that is life as we presently know it, the crucible, laver and sieve, that continues until one of two vivifications. The first being at Jesus’ return. The second being after GWT judgment ‘day’, at the made new/new heavens and earth event, the palingenesis, the New Genesis!

     Will there be studying and learning during “the” millennium (that precedes GWT ‘day’).. The intellect having been made new, but still at its own learning stage?

     We know there is Jerusalem during the millennium, as there comes to be a gathering against her after the adversary (&co) are released from stewing in his/their own darkness “after the thousand years”/after the millennium, the Sabbath rest from the adversary’s presence.

     Which in turn proves there are mortal survivors of the apocalypse, for where do the ones he gathers against the millennial Jerusalem come from?

     As we know fire consumes them. This is where a second mention of a fiery lake occurs (first one is at armageddon). It’s only after this that the resurrection of all those that are dead occurs.

     But before all that, are we believers students during the millennium? And in a sort of internship? ..As preparation to rather intense service during GWT judgment ‘day’? Service called reigning, for we will be doing his works during this long day of all things progressing to closure, and of course, the completing of Jesus “drawing all to himself” Jn.12:32. The wearing of crowns of Life, not metal.

     The parable of Lazarus and the rich man - portraying INITIAL - inner - conditions of some during GWT judgment ‘day’ ..Which is an “8th day” the “last great day” at the conclusion of which God says “Behold! I make aLL new!” Greek pas, all. Not all things.. though that’s true too lol (Rev.21:5). And since Rev.22 follows the total, universal ReGenesis, by which death dies, some of its narrative is obviously spoken outside of the revelation vision - also portraying INITIAL conditions of some during that last great day of completing all discernment and drawing/maturing toward the greatest harvest, the grape harvest, 1Cor.15:24,28; Rev.21:5; 2Pet.3:12-13.

     And don’t the ancient Fall holy days outline that long second advent of the Lord? Like the Spring ones so perfectly did his first brief advent.. Lev.23

     I - Trumpets of Rev. & return at the last

            10days/1000yrs later,

    III - Tabernacles! “Behold I make all new! ..God will now tabernacle/tent/dwell with mankind ..the lion will eat straw like the ox” Rev.21:5,3; Is.11:7.

GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 22:11-22

11 - (Jesus continues the parable) - “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who did not have on a wedding garment. 12 And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ (You can’t have been here at the wedding union wearing your old work clothes! This is the same wedding banquet as in the ten bridesmaid’s parable, where five came late and found the door to the banquet/to “the” millennium was closed.) And the man was speechless. (He didn’t have a clue. Hadn’t been paying attention? In the literal you cannot enter the millennium without “putting on immortality and incorruptibility”. Though there will be mortal survivors, Rev.20:7-9.) 13 Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind [deó - bind, tie, fasten; impel, compel; declare to be prohibited and unlawful] his hands and feet and expel him into the outer darkness. (Outside of the brightly lit celebration.) In that place (condition) there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth’ (the carnal, missing the mark condition). 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.” (Few called during this life, to serve, called reigning during his long second advent. For to do his works, surely(?) is to reign. Note: the three mentions of lake of fire - erroneously thought to be a mythical place - are at huge fiery events. And the last one is at the fiery total universal regenesis - “the regeneration” - greek word “palin/again-genesis” which is how death dies. Yes? As Jesus said he “will draw all” (Jn.12:32) and said - “All those in the tombs/graves will hear God’s voice and will come forth” (from the graves/tombs) “some into the resurrection of life (into THE millennium). And some into the resurrection of judgment” ‘day’ (Jn.5:28-29) which elsewhere He calls agelasting correction [“kolasin aionion” oR “correction eonian” Mt.25:46, the completing of drawing all! Surely the same process for all, the crucible being life as we presently know it, until vivification either at 1Cor.15:52,53 or at Rev.21:5, 1Cor.15:24-28.

     So the outside of the light darkness, is within, is inner conditions portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable - initiaL conditions for some during GWT judgment ‘day’. Surely to “die still in our sin/hamartia-missing the mark, would be to rise that way. Rev.21:5 - aFter judgment ‘day’ is when God says “behold I make all new” - which translators changed to “all things”.)

     15 After hearing the wedding party parable, the Pharisees got together and plotted how they might entangle him in his words. 16 So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you don’t care about anyone's opinion, for you’re not swayed by appearances. 17 Tell us then, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their intent, said, “Why are you actors putting me to the test? 19 Show me a coin for the tax.” So they showed him a denarius. 20 And Jesus said, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They answered, “Caesar's.” So he said, “Well then, render to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.” 22 And when they heard it, they marveled. And then they went away and left him.

                  ~ Philippians 4:8-13 ~

8 - Finally, brothers and sisters whatever things are true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, and whatever is commendable, think on these things. If there’s any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think upon those things. 9 What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do also, and the God of peace will be with you.

     10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly to see your concern for me once again. You have been concerned for me, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I’m in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am in, to be content. 12 I know how to be brought low. And I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of contentment in both plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through he who strengthens me. (God and his grace is sufficient for all things and times.)

Truth Will Win

I don't know why untruth (untrue things) get such a deep hold within people and within institutions. Why?

If Christians (the churches) think they are going to, or are supposed to "subdue the world" they're wrong! Jesus said His kingdom was/is not of this world"! Yes, I'd like to see the mad dash toward collapse,etc slowed down (my interest in politics). But that's about all I can hope for. This world is going to, and actually is supposed to, collapse! Why? So God can be proven right! God is life. A person (or angel, or any other rational creature) cannot wander away from God. That's the whole thing/lesson in a nutshell, this chewing upon the knowing of good from evil (life from death, true from untrue).

Yes, God could have spared us all this! Himself too! He being Life, lives through and experiences it all! Why'd he put Himself, and all of us, through all this? I can only assume, through logic, that it's because He's not creating robots or an ant farm. And this life is a unavoidable journey and lesson, if there's to be thinking ability or rational creatures that is! Because, thinking ability sooner or later includes being able to choose and make choices, etc.

"It pleased God to reconcile ALL things to Himself through Him (Jesus), all things whether in heaven or on earth" Colossians 1:20

"For even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive, 23 but each in his proper order, " 1 Corinthians 15:22

Resurrection of all - Contemporary English Version (CEV)
"22 Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us. 23 But we must each wait our turn. Christ was the first to be raised to life, and his people will be raised to life when he returns. 24 Then after Christ has destroyed all powers and forces, the end will come, and he will give the kingdom to God the Father." [oh! 1st, Jesus was resurrected, then 2nd, the resurrection of all believers at His return, and 3rd, another raising to incorruption and immortality at the 'end' when ALL things are made new.. after the millennium and its purpose, and what is commonly called judgment day, and its purpose.]

"25 Christ will rule until he puts all his enemies under his power, 26 and the last enemy he destroys will be death. 27 When the Scriptures say that he will put everything under his power, they don't include God. It was God who put everything under the power of Christ. 28 After everything is under the power of God's Son, he will put himself under the power of God, who put everything under his Son's power. Then God will mean everything to everyone."

"God is the savior of all, especially those which believe" 1 Tim 4:10
