(8TH ‘DAY’ Studies)

            ☀️ A.M. 1John 3:3-9

3 - Everyone who is hoping [elpis - expects, hopes] in him purifies their self as he is pure [hagnos - free of contamination].

     4 Anyone who makes a practice of doing wrong is practicing lawlessness. For sin [hamartia - missing the mark, doing wrong] is lawlessness. 5 You know that he appeared in order to take away all missing the mark {and lawlessness}. And in him there is no sin/missing the mark/imperfection. 6 No one who abides in him, keeps doing wrong, or they have not seen him nor known him. (Which equates to “I never knew you”?)

     7 Little children, don’t let anyone mislead you. Whoever practices doing right is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil [diabolos - in secular Greek means "backbiter," i.e. an accuser (slanderer) diábolos is literally someone who "casts through," i.e. making charges that bring down (destroy) from diaballó - to bring charges with hostile intent] for the devil has been doing wrong from the beginning. {Of creation. God’s patience is shown by his waiting for the first bound to occur rebel thought to not only occur, but to ripen into outright sedition. So “all in heaven and earth” (man and angel) would take this unavoidable journey/lesson all together at once.}

     It’s for this reason the Son 

of God appeared and was revealed, to destroy 

[luó - loose, release, dissolve] the works [érgon - work, deed (action) that carries out and completes the intention and purpose] of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning. God's seed abides in them and they cannot keep on sinning, because they have been born of God.

            🌙 P.M. Mark 6:30-45

30 - After being sent out, the apostles [apostolos - sent ones] returned and told Jesus all they had done and taught. 31 And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to be alone and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no opportunity even to eat. 32 So they went in the boat to a place alone. 33 But many who were there from all the towns, saw them going and ran ahead on foot and got there before them. {Now that’s enthusiasm, I’m totaLLy convinced, his so brief first advent is a small replica of his long second advent!}

     34 When they reached shore, there was a great crowd, and Jesus had compassion, because they were like sheep with no shepherd. And so he taught them many things.

     35 When it grew late, his disciples came and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is late. 36 Should we send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages to find food?” 37 But he answered, “You feed them.” So they said, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread?” 38 And he said, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And so they did, and they came back and said, “Five, and two fish.”

     39 Then he told all sit down in groups on the grass. 40 So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and fifties. 41 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, said a blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to hand out to the people. And he divided also the two fish among them all.

     42 And they were all satisfied. {Ultimately all of us, with what he teaches us and feeds us. The sheep of his pasture.} 43 And they took up twelve baskets full of leftover pieces of bread and fish. 44 And those who ate the loaves were about five thousand.

     45 Then he had his disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he stayed and sent the people away to their homes.

N.Testament & Prophecy Advanced CU Study, verses paraphrased  [ ] references { } thots

 • 2 Peter 2:8-17  Jn.18:3-14; Mt.26:47-57

            ☀️ A.M. 2 Peter 2:8-17

8 - For as a righteous one living day after day, in a fallen city, he (Lot) was tormented of soul over the lawless deeds he saw and heard. [Lawless - anomos, from nomos - law, and A - not] {Interestingly, when Jesus spoke of keeping us in God’s name/reputation/cause, the word is onoma. Inescapable law of life - God iS life. And he “is perfect”. Only he can make, and then keep us “perfect”.}

     9 But the Lord knows how to deliver the devoted from temptation. [Peirasmos - temptation, trial, testing, From peirazo - a putting to proof (by experiment)] {😮 This whole letting things run course! ..Because an ant farm is no paradise. But imperfection is entropy (which “doesn’t quit”) so Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32, because “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10 …The root word of Logic, is Logos.}

     And he’s able to keep the unrighteous unto ‘day’ of judgment and correction [kolazo - to chastise, correct, properly - curtail, punish]. {Punishment being the extreme of curtail/correct.} 10 Especially those walking in defiling [miasmos - contaminating, polluting, corrupting] passions, despising of authority. Bold and willful, they don’t tremble as they blaspheme.

     11 But angels, though so much greater in standing, don’t pronounce a judgment against them before the LORD. 12 Yet they {teachers of error?} are like irrational animals,  creatures of instinct, producing ruin, and bound to be taken as beasts in a trap, speak evil of things they don’t understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption {earthly}. 13 Suffering wrong as the wage {result} for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to be drunk in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while at the LORD’s table with you.

     14 They have eyes full of adultery, and are insatiable. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in avarice. Children of a curse! 15 Forsaking the right way, they’ve gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the gain and advantage that comes from lawlessness, 16 but he was rebuked by a speechless donkey speaking with human voice to restrain the prophet's madness.

     17 These are waterless springs. Mists driven by storm. For whom gloom of {inner} darkness is kept [téreó - kept, guarded, observed, watched over, reserved]. {A reservation.. meaning the fruit is inner darkness and gloom.}

            🌙 P.M. Jn.18:3-14; Mt.26:47-57

Jn.18:3 - So Judas, with a band of soldiers, and officers from the leaders, the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with torches, lanterns and swords. {In lieu of pitchforks.} 4 Jesus, knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said, “Who do you seek?”

     5 They answered, “Jesus of Nazareth.” And he said, “I am he.”

     Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 So he asked them again, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” 8 Jesus answered, “I told you, I am he. So, if you seek me, let these go.” 9 This fulfilled the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have not lost one.”

     10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, named Malchus, and cut off his right ear. 11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put away your sword. Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?” {The true Passover sacrifice, strong enough to appease eveRy conscience. Imperfection is an abyss of potential ..and is entropy/this slow gehenna that “does not quit”, thus the resurrection. And the remedy strong enough to appease eveRy conscience and convince every psyche, making way for reconciliation to Life/God.}

     12 So the band of soldiers and their captain and officers of the leaders arrested Jesus, bound him, 13 led him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 It was Caiaphas who had advised the leaders that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people. {A prophecy but which he meant on behalf of theiR seats within the Roman Empire’s occupation.}

     MATTHEW 26:47 - While Jesus was still speaking to the disciples, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders (leaders) of the people.

     48 Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I kiss in greeting is the one. Seize him.” 49 And he came up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” [Teacher.] And kissed him. 50 Jesus said, “Friend, for what have you come?”

    Then they laid hands on him and seized him. 51 And then, one of those who were with Jesus drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear! 52 But Jesus said, “Sheath your sword, for all who take the sword will - perish (earthly) - by the sword. (And Jesus healed the ear, Lk.22:51.) 53 Do you think I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that this must be so?” {Eyewitness accounts always differ, especially if some time has passed.}

     55 Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out at this late hour, as against a robber, with swords and clubs? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you didn’t seize me. 56 But all this takes place fulfilling the Scriptures of the prophets.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.

     57 And those who had seized Jesus led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders (lawyers and leaders) had gathered.

03-26 - Eph-3 Jn-10

N.Testament & Prophecy Advanced CU Study, verses paraphrased  [ ] references { } thots

 • Ephesians 3:8-21  John 10:33-42 and Acts 19:21-41 separately

            ☀️ Ephesians 3:8-21

8 - To me (Paul) though I’m the very least of all the saints (believers, called out ones) this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles (the nations) the unsearchable riches of Christ! 9 In order to enlighten all about the plan, the program, the mystery hidden for ages. Hidden in God, who created all.

     10 And so that through the church {the true faith, genuine “way” of Jesus} the diverse wisdom of God might be clearly made known to the principalities [arché] and powers in the heavenly realms, 11 according to his eternal purpose which he brought about in Christ Jesus our Lord. {“At the fullness of time, all in Christ” Ephesians 1:10. Though all/pas was changed to all things, three times in this one verse alone.}

     12 In Him (Jesus) we have boldness and access - with confidence - through our faith in him.

     13 So I ask you not to lose heart over what I’m suffering for you, which is for your glory {and benefit}. 14 And for this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family of heaven, and on earth, is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory, he may grant you to be strengthened - with power through his Spirit in your inner being - 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have the strength to comprehend with all believers what is the breadth, length, height and depth of 19 the love {revealed} in Christ that surpasses all knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God. {I’m convinced what needed to be “appeased” is not an ‘angry god’ but the human conscience. After all, imperfection is an abyss of potential. And - eveRy - conscience needs to be appeased.}

      20 Now to he who is able to do far more than all we ask or think, according to his power at work in us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. {Big revival is prophecied as man’s world approaches its climax. That and a lot of “lawlessness” and “delusion”/enchantment. After all the still tares will gather to that last battle, against, you guessed it, Israel. Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4.}

            🌙 John 10:33-42

33 - They {leaders of Israel, albeit during occupation by Rome, actually more political than spiritual/religious.. executed Christ due to concerns over their seats of power not only over Israel, but with Rome. It’s also why “tax collectors” were looked down on, because, though Hebrew/of Israel during occupation, they collected taxes for Rome.}

     (The leaders) answered Jesus, “It’s not for a good work that we’re going to stone you! But for blasphemy! For you, being a man, make yourself out to be God!”

     34 Then Jesus asked them, “Isn’t it written in your Law, ‘I said, ye are gods’? 35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God was given, and Scripture can’t be broken, 36 how do you say of he who the Fatherbb set apart and sent into the world, blasphemy, because I said, ‘I’m - the Son - of God’?”

     {Set apart, called “first” and is the only straight out from God one, so close, Father and Son both administer God’s Spirit/Presence. Called First/proto, the prototype. God’s Spirit/Presence will saturate and “seal” all creation and humanity.}

    37 “If I’m not doing the works of my Father, then don’t believe me. 38 But if I do them, even if you don’t believe me, believe the works, so you may know and understand the Father is in me, and I in the Father.” 39 Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their grasp.

     40 He went then, again, across River Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and there he stayed for a while. 41 And many came to him, and were saying to one another, “John did no sign, but everything he said about this man has been true.” 42 And many in that region were believing.

REVELATION - 18 9-24

 Apocalypse logic & riddles, weekly study, verses paraphrased [ ] references { } thots

BOOK OF REVELATION

     9 - And the kings of earth, who were in bed with her and lived in luxury with her, will weep and mourn when they see the smoke of her burning. {$ity Babylon - who rode the beasts to all seven hills/continents.. Free enterprise highjacked. Rode (and traveled with) the beasts which will join but not really (Rev.13:1 w/ Dan.7:7,19, and Dan.2:36-45 shows us the metals are Rome and Greek, aka a western roots and foundation, many headed geopolitical beast/entity/institution. Within it, is ‘dove’ and vulture, Mt.24:28. The fallen as prey,  the west once called Christendom having fallen away into “lawlessness” and deterioration.}

     10 They will stand far off, watching from a distance in fear of her torment, and will say, “Alas! Alas! That great city {that ruled} that mighty city, Babylon! For in one hour your judgment has come.” 

     11 And the merchants of earth {also} will weep and mourn for her. For no one buys their cargoes anymore. 12 Products of gold and silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, silk and scarlet cloths, all fragrant woods, articles of ivory and fine wood, bronze, iron and marble. 13 And cinnamon, spice, incense, perfumes and ointments, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, slaves, and human souls [psuche - soul, life, self, inner being] {human beings}. 14 “And the ripe fruit of you and the delicacies for which you lusted/longed for have gone from you. All your sumptuous splendors are lost to you and will not be found in you again.”

     15 The merchants of these things, who grew wealthy from her (from the $ity, a modern day Baal?) will stand far off, in fear of her torment, loudly weeping and mourning, 16 “Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, and jewels, and with pearls! 17 For in a single hour all that wealth has been laid waste.”

     And all shipmasters and seafaring men/traders, sailors and all whose - trade is on the sea - stood far off, 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, “What city was like the great $ity?!” 19 And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out, “Alas, alas, for the great city - where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her costliness! For in one hour has she been laid waste.”

     20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment against her! {As you have done so shall it fall upon you.. reaping what you sow..}

     21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and will be found no more, 22 and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will no longer be heard in you, nor any craftsman of any craft will be found in you, nor sound of the mill, be heard in you. 23 The light of a lamp will not shine in you, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any more, for her merchants were the great ones of earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery [pharmakeia - sorcery, witchcraft, magic, enchantment, spells, deception, corruption, beguilement.. {power to influence}].

      24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of - all - who have been slain upon earth.” {Empire, personal or collective.}

         Paul’s Letter To The Romans

17 - But thanks be to God! That you/we who were once in captivity to sin, and its slave, have become obedient, from the heart, to the standard of teaching to which you adhered. 18 And having been set free from sin, you have become ruled over now by righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms, because of our natural limitations. Once we presented ourselves as slaves to impurity [akatharsía - from A - not, and katharós - clean because unmixed, pure, not contaminated; katharis, root of catharsis]. And in captivity to lawlessness, which led to more lawlessness. Now, present yourselves as slaves to righteousness, which leads to sanctification (purity, being made sacred).

     20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 But what fruit {cause and effect} were you getting from it? With the end of those things being death. 22 But now that you have been set free from sin [tresspass, “missing the mark”] and are now become captivated by God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its result, enduring life. 23 For the wages of sin [hamartia - missing the mark] is death (because God is Life and “is Perfect” Mt.5:48) but the FREE gift of God is enduring life - in - Christ Jesus, our Lord. {He is “the head” of the body of humanity. Especially of believers, and shall be fully of all humanity. Isaiah 14:27 - “For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who can annul it?”}

   The First Letter to Timothy

        ~ 1 Timothy 5:1-7 ~

1 - Don’t use harsh words (Timothy, leader of the group, ‘churches’ were home groups) when you correct an older man, but talk to him as if he were your father. Talk to younger men as if they were your brothers, 2 treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters. 3 Take care of any widow who has no one else to care for her. 4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God. 5 The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help. 6 But [literal word for word] the living only for self indulgence is dead even while living. (Surely widow oR widower, or anyone.) 7 Give the people these instructions, so that no one may be open to blame.
