10-19 - Gal 6 9-18 Mark 12 35-44

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

            ༺☀️༻ Galatians 6:9-18

9 - Let us not grow weary and give up on doing good, for we’ll reap in due season! 10 As we have opportunity, we should do good to all. Especially, to those who are of the household of faith. {Our currently closest brothers and sisters.}

     11 See with what large letters I’m writing to you with my own hand. (Paul had developed eye trouble.) 12 It is those who want to show themselves off as making a good show who would force you to be circumcised. {Or whatever requirement(s) they demand}. And this is only in order that they won’t be criticized for the cross of Christ. {Hebrew believers wanting friendship and approval from their world, of their day and place. Today, a personal conviction, or preference, about when to keep Sabbath, for example, is well and good, but is not a commandment.} 13 For even those who are circumcised don’t themselves keep the law, but they want to have you circumcised that they may boast in you. {Believers can be misled by wanting followers of themselves? Setting self up as an example and leader?} 14 But I don’t want to boast in anything, except in the cross {salvation, rescue} of our Lord Jesus, the Christ [christos - anointed one].

     And by him I’ve been crucified to the world. And the world has been crucified to me. 15 Circumcision {or whatever requirement} doesn’t matter. Whether you are circumcised or not circumcised, makes no difference. What matters is being a new creation! [Romans 14:5,6]

     16 And for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them! And upon the Israel {whole household} of God. {Yes we are “grafted into Israel”. There “is no longer hebrew or greek, male or female (in spiritual status). The world’s nation Israel is still exactly in God’s plan as he has designed during this course through imperfection/entropy. Which is unavoidable? Unless creation’s to be an ant farm? And, Israel figures much in biblical prophecy, as does the u.s. but in different roles. The U.S. plays two roles, two beginnings, Rev.12:14(white hat) and $ity of babble (free enterprise highjacked and gone “harlot”/pornea) locale now gone to all 7hills/continents. And Rev.13:13 pinpointed an office, which event was another beginning..) Also involved of course, World politics, the many headed geopolitical beaSt, Rev.17:12,16-18. But! The Revelation vision has been, in very large part, veiled due to its riddles! And lake of fire unable to be deciphered early on..} 

     17 And from now on let no one cause me (Paul) any trouble. For I bear on my body, the scars of having served Jesus.

     18 The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you, brothers and sisters. Amen.

            ༺☾𖤓༻ MARK 12:35-44

35 - As Jesus was teaching in the temple, he said, “How can the scribes say that Messiah (Greek Christ) is the son of David? 36 When David, by the Holy Spirit, said, ‘The LORD said to my Lord, sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.’ 37 How can David call him Lord if he’s his son and descendant?”

     The people were happy to listen to Jesus. {The LORD said to my Lord.. as in 1Cor.15:27 and 28 where eveRy all is “all” - greek word pas. So what is actually repeated three times in verse 27?}

     38 And he said, “Be wary of the scribes. For they like to walk around in long robes, to be greeted in the marketplaces, 39 and to have the best seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at feasts. 40 Yet they devour widows' houses! And as a pretense make long prayers. They’ll receive the greater judgment.”

     41 Later, he was sitting a short way from the treasury (box) and was watching the people put money in. Many wealthy people put in many silver coins. 42 But then a poor widow came in who put in two small copper coins.

     43 So he called his disciples over and said to them, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than anyone else. 44 For they have put in out of their abundance. But she out of her poverty, has put in all she had.”

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

(8TH ‘DAY’ Studies)

            ☀️ A.M. 1Jn.3:10-14

10 - By this it’s evident who the children of God are, and who are (still) children of the devil {first gone rogue one, and accelerator}. Whoever doesn’t live righteously is not of God, noR is the one who doesn’t love their fellow (person). {To have true affection for! And not just for those who think like we do.}

     11 This is the message you’ve heard from the beginning! That we should love one another.

     12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil [ponéros - toilsome, bad] {not good} and his brother's deeds were righteous.

     13 Don’t be surprised, brothers and sisters, if the world dislikes you. 14 We know we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers and sisters [adelphos - from alpha, a prefix and delphus - womb] {Eve is “the mother of us all” and especially our brothers and sisters believing in the Lord with us}. Whoever does not love, is dwelling and living in death.

            🌙 P.M. MARK 6:46-56

46 - After Jesus saw the people off, he went further inland, into the mountain in order to be alone to pray. 47 And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea [of Galilee] but he was still on land. 48 He saw they were struggling, for the wind was against them. And then at about the fourth watch of the night he went out to them walking on the water. He meant to pass by, 49 but they saw him and thought he was a ghost, and cried out! 50 For they saw him walking by on the water and were terrified!

     But he said, “Take heart! It’s me! Don’t be afraid!” 51 And he got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped, and they were utterly amazed.

     52 For they didn’t understand [suniémi - put together, consider, understand, perceive] about the loaves, for their hearts were hardened [póroó - petrified, hardened, from pōros, a kind of marble – properly, made of stone; figuratively, insensible, dull, unseeing, not responsive].

     53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored at shore. 54 When they got out of the boat, the people immediately knew it was Jesus, 55 and they ran about the whole region and began to bring their sick ones to him on their beds. 56 And wherever he came, in the villages, or cities, or countryside, or in the marketplaces, they laid the sick and implored him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched, were made whole.

     {Logically, because God “is perfect” Mt.5:48, surely(?) the Lord’s long second advent (Rev.20) will be a fullscope version of his first so brief one — The three mentions of “lake of fire” are at huge, fiery events. Leviticus 23 as an outline of the advents.}

ACTS 4 23-37

 Luke wrote “of the things fulfilled among us” paraphrased  [ ] ref  { } thots

     Book of the Acts of the First Believers

23 When Peter and John were released {from the sanhedrin/court} they went to the rest of the believers and reported what the chief priests and elders had said. 24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together in prayer and praise, saying, “Sovereign LORD, you who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and everything in them, 25 and who through our father David, your servant, said by the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} — ‘Why do the nations rage?! And the people devise vain things?! 26 The highest ones of earth gather and set theirselves, against the LORD and against his Anointed.’ 27 In fact, this has happened here in this very city! For Herod (Antipas), Pilate the governor, the Gentiles (of the nations) and the people of Israel were united against Jesus. Your holy servant, whom you anointed. 28 But it was your purpose, and your plan, that you ordained to happen! 29 And now, LORD, hear their threats and grant to your servants to speak your word [logos - reasoning, message; root word of logic] with all boldness, 30 while you stretch out your hand to heal, with signs and wonders performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

     31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God}. And they continued to speak the word/message of God with boldness. [Ps.2]

     {God is Life and “is perfect” so imperfect is entropy (which “doesn’t quit”) and “God is savior..” 1TIM.4:10. Also “perfect” means the ‘end’ result of this one & done (greek word “tel” the end-aim) can’t be anything but the best one possible.}

     32 Those who believed were of one heart and mind. No one even said what belonged to them was theirs, but they had all things in common. {Not a state supplies.. and thus owns, situation.} 33 And with great power the apostles were proclaiming and testifying to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 And no one among them was in need, for as many as were owners of lands and houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold 35 and put it in the apostle’s hands, and it was distributed to each as any had need. [From a Biblehub commentary (Ellicott’s) - “There was, in this sale of their estates, a proof of faith in the future desolation which Jesus had foretold, having properties in Palestine” (the name began as the world’s name for Israel) “was likely to be a source of anxiety rather than profit. Like Jeremiah had shown his faith in the future restoration of his people by purchasing the field at Anathoth”.]

     36 And so it was too, that Joseph, also called Barnabas, which means son of encouragement [paraklésis], a Levite (line who served in the temple, but not as a priest) and a native of Cyprus, 37 sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money to the apostles.

     {Barnabas goes with Paul on Paul’s first “missionary journey” - the first of his travels proclaiming the good news of resurrection, and belief and following Jesus to inherit the better resurrection - Mt.25:46 “into Life” (Mt.25:1-13!) or into “aionion kolasis / eonian korrection / age of correction - Rev.20, “putting on perfection and (thus) immortality” at the palin(again)genesis, Rev.21:5, tho “all” was changed into “all things”. Still true but a downgrade. Note, the three mentions of lake of fire are at huge, fiery events. Father’s outline(s) - the week plus 1 millennia; the Spring and Fall holy days of Lev.23 as 1st and 2nd advents.}

Next Week - 5:1-16

 • 2 Peter 3:8-18  Matthew 27:1-10

            ☀️ A.M. 2 Peter 3:8-18

8 - But don’t overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. {This logically doesn’t mean every day is code for a millennium.. BUT! I do think our heavenly Father/Creator has fixed 6 millennia for things to run course. No option to stray in Eden and we’d be an ant farm?! After this unavoidable (entropic) contrast has run its course, then a Sabbath millennium as a rest from evil and enmity, followed by “the last great day” an “8th day” Rev.20, but which is described like the crests of waves and not much of the in between. So an outline, the week plus one. A second outline, within this first one is the ancient Spring and Fall holy days, as the first (brief) and the second (long) advent of Jesus - Leviticus chapter 23.}

     9 The Lord isn’t slow to fulfill his promise as some might think of slowness, but he is patient, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. [Not willing - boulomai - will, wish, desire, intend.] {Can anYthing thwart God’s will/intent?!} 10 But the - day - of the LORD will come {surreptitiously} like a thief, in the which the heavens will pass with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be revealed. [The three mentions of lake of fire, are at huge fiery events. The last one is in Revelation, 21, verses 1-5, the fiery regenesis. The first is at armageddon battle. Prophecy descriptions are sometimes described as their full effects, their first and last effects in a a sort of swirl. Aka, here, and “the seals”.]

     11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be, living lives of truth, goodness and godliness, 12 while expectantly waiting for the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! [Rev.21:1-5] 13 But according to his promise! We are waiting for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness will be at home. {And rule..}

     14 Therefore, beloved, since you’re waiting for these {the world’s armageddon.. and the much later regenesis when God says “behold! I make all new!” And after which, “the bear will graze with the cow, and the lion will eat straw like the ox” Isaiah 11:7} be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish - and at peace. 15 And think of the patience of our LORD as salvation [soteria - welfare, deliverance, preservation, prosperity, salvation, safety]. This is just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him, 16 as he writes in his letters, when he writes  of these matters, in which there are some things hard to understand, which the unknowing and unstable twist {get confused} to their own ruin, as they do the other Scriptures. 17 You therefore, beloved, knowing all this beforehand, take care that you’re not carried away with the error of lawless people. And lose your own stability. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

            🌙 P.M. Matthew 27:1-10

1 - When morning came, the leaders of the people - all the chief priests and elders - took counsel against Jesus to have him put to death. 2 They bound him and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate the governor.

     3 Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he changed his mind and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood!” They said, “What do we care? What is it to us?” 5 So he threw down the pieces of silver into the temple, and then he left and went out and hanged himself.

     6 And the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it’s blood money.” 7 So they took further counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. 8 Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this very day. 9 Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of he on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, 10 and they gave them for the potter's field” as the prophecy stated.

 • Titus 3:1-7  Matthew 25:34-46

            ☀️ A.M. Titus 3:1-7

1 - Remind them (believers of Crete) to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. 3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures {and untruths} passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. {Harsh and ever progressing spirit of the world/adversary.}

     4 But when the goodness and the loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us. {Delivered us from all that.} Not because we were righteous. But according to - his - mercy, and {it’s carried out and progresses} by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit {Presence of God} 6 which he pours out upon us abundantly, through Jesus our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace, we might become heirs - according to the hope [elpis - trust, expectation] of enduring life.

            🌙 P.M. Matthew 25:34-46

34 - (Jesus continues) “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed - by my Father - inherit the kingdom prepared {ready} from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you fed me. I was thirsty and you refreshed me with drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. 36 I was unclothed and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited [episkeptomai - visited, looked after, cared for] me, I was in prison and you came to me.’

     37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and fed you, or thirsty and gave you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and make you welcome, or unclothed and we clothed you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit and care for you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least, you did it to me.’

     41 Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed [kataraomai - being cursed] into the aionion (pertaining to an age) fire prepared [hetoimazó - prepared, made ready] for the devil and his angels.” {The three mentions of “lake of fire” are at huge fiery events.} 42 “For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you didn’t welcome me, unclothed and you didn’t clothe me, sick and in prison and you didn’t visit me and care for me.’

     44 Then they’ll answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or unclothed or sick or in prison, and didn’t minister to you?’ 45 Then he’ll answer, ‘Truly, I tell you, as you didn’t do for one of the least of these, you didn’t do for me.’” {As we treat all others is how we treat him.}

     46 “And will go away these, into aionion/eonian correction, but the righteous into enduring life.” {Jn.5:28-29, Rev.20, but which chapter is told like describing the crests of waves and not much of the in between.}

BOOK OF REVELATION

11 - Then I saw a great white throne (GWT) and he who was seated upon it. And from his face the earth and heavens fled away, and no place was found for them.

     12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead [nekros - dead, deceased] were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.

     13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, death and hades [“place of the dead”] {the grave, state of being gone} [hades - not seen] gave up the dead which were in them and they were judged, each one, according to what they had done. {Same as we were and even now are? And.. “all the world’s a stage”.. (Shakespeare) - proving to one and all, and all together at once..}

     14 Then Death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. [2Pet.3:12-13 “..the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, the heavenly bodies melting.. (then) a new heavens and a new earth..”] This is the second death, the lake of fire.

     {The end of death and imperfection/“missing the mark” - One and done! 1Cor.15:24-26. First death is the one come about through, and “in Adam”.}

     15 And if [ei - whether, iF] anyone was found, whose name was not written in the book of life {by then} they were thrown [balló - thrown, cast, hurled, put, placed] into the lake of fire. 21:1 - And I saw - a new heavens, and a new earth - for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, [were “set on fire” and “dissolved”, the “heavenly bodies/planets and stars melting”] and the sea {separation upon earth} was no more. (Isaiah 11:7)

     2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, radiant as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will tabernacle/tent/dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.”

Their number is like the sand at the seashore. 9 And they marched up over all the broad plain of earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. {Do we imagine this takes but a moment or two..?} But - fire - came from the heavens and consumed them. 10 And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and false prophet had been thrown, and {he} will be tormented day and night - to - the ages of the ages. {The two others are institutions active at Jesus’ return.}

The Madness Of Satan

Unity With God

oR (alternate) “The Madness of Satan”

Now working as accelerant.

     Because God is Life and Intelligence, ultimately our unity will be, and has to be, a complete union with Father God.. But each in our individuality. Yet it’s so complete we will be able to ‘remember’ the creation..

     Spirit beings were first and had that unity. But like Eden, no option to stray would be an ant farm! So perhaps Lucifer slid into thinking he wAs God, the Almighty.. the all wise.. and “perfect”.

     Do you see the Genius? Every able to think being would be bound to stray in thought, word or deed, sooner or later. But to differ from God in any tiny way, is to become imperfect. And imperfect is an abyss of potential.

     The perfectness of a spirit being doing the straying first.. That first bound to occur ‘rebel’ thought occurring in him, and when it had fully ripened - in his madness/abyss - is when God spoke the universe into being! Along with all of us. (The universe as is, then, it was put in motion.)

     And so, we have this one and done!

But imperfect is also entropy. All matter and information/communication is falling apart. It’s a slow “gehenna” that “doesn’t quit”. (Gehenna is one of 5 words translated/changed into ‘hell’.) This crazy and corrupt life as we presently know it.

     So the full and complete remedy was “built in from the foundation, the beginning” - Christ Crucified, strong enough to appease every conscience. And convince every psyche.

     “The lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow” Isaiah 11:7. Oh! I almost forgot! The 3 mentions of “lake of fire” (🎶 “who wants to go to fire lake?”🎶) are each at very large, fiery events.

     The revelation vision is told three times - reads more clearly if we know that. ..The three are:

  6:1-2 to 11:19

  chapter 12, verse 17 with Matthew 23:39

  and 13:1 to 19:11

The three rejoin at the sounding of the 7th trumpet. But the vision is also veiled by how the elements of the whole thing, are described at the beginning of the vision, as a blend of their first and very last effects. Case in point, seal 6! Rev.6:12-17, now look at 7:1,3 (9,4) where we still are, for now. The first seal 6 event is also 13:13, but the verse and event pinpoints/ed an office, not (yet) an individual.

     Just one more thing (oops 2, but brief!) let me point out that “man/anthropoi hAs been seated in the temple as god”/highest power, so now this increasing “lawlessness”. Western Civilization on the wane and under attack. Individual liberty being “removed”.

     It all concludes as Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4. Which is also Matthew 13:30 as Rev.16:14-15-16, and, or Matthew 25:1-13->to serve called reigning during Jesus’ long second advent, a full scope version of his first so brief one. In conclusion, if you don’t let things actually run course, even fully, what exactly would be the point?
