 • Romans 10:16-21  John 6:1-13

           ☀️ Romans 10:16-21

(Paul is grieved because the majority of his kinsmen are not understanding the message. Though it had been written about by the Hebrew prophets, what we know of, as part of the Old Testament.) 16 - But they have not all obeyed the message of God, the gospel [euaggelion - gospel, GOOD news]. For Isaiah says, “LORD, who has believed our report?!” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the words [rhema - utterance] of Christ. 18 But I ask, have they heard? Indeed, “the voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” 19 But I ask, did Israel understand? {Outer law/rules couldn’t work for even one nation. Couldn’t work with the first pair. So what is God’s other options for creation? How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? For thinking includes at least some power of choice. God as Life, witnesses and lives through all that ever occurs, and he endowed thinking and reasoning anyway!}

     First Moses says, “I will make you jealous by those not a nation. By a nation without understanding I will make you angry.” 20 And later Isaiah is so bold as to say, “I have been found by those who didn’t look for me. I’ve made myself known to those who didn’t ask for me.” 21 But of Israel he says, “All day long I’ve held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.” {Israel, smaller scope, humanity, full scope -> pattern of prophecy, and more.} {Was western civilization more or less God’s.. Some of the west has “fallen away”? We have seated ourselves (mankind) in the temple as god”/highest power.. and so the old gods are returning. Same pattern.. Abraham called to a new land.. amidst seriously warring tribes.. over time and turmoil.. a nation, named for God. Christianity sprouted wings as well {rev.12:6,14} and formed western civilization.. Wasn’t perfect, but there was freedom from overlords.. Everything goes corrupt. Institutions start out good. They get infiltrated and highjacked, a corrupt process. The light of God, his Spirit/Presence is a shield against darkness.. But only as perfect as we are! Therefor can be, or become a weak shield? How much of his Presence is with us?

     The trend of the world is division. A whole other energy.}

            🌙 John 6:1-13

1 - After this Jesus crossed over to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias. 2 A large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs he was doing and how he healed the sick. 3 He went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. 4 It was the  days (week and feast) of Passover (or also called week of Unleavened Bread). 5 Seeing a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so all these people may eat?” 6 He said this to test and to teach, for he knew what he was about to do.

     7 Philip thought about it and said, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for each to have a little!” 8 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said, 9 “There’s a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what is that to so many?”

     10 They were in a field of grass, so Jesus told the disciples to tell the people to sit down. And so they did, about five thousand men, and women and children. {Yes women were not counted, remember God had told Eve (prophesied) the stronger would ruLe the weaker. Because straying is imperfection/entropy, and an abyss of potential, so all range of misdeeds and oppressions were bound to occur. And self first and foremost is bound to (especially in power and politics) be dog eat dog.}

     11 Jesus took the loaves they had, gave {an offering and sacrifice of} thanks. {Dan.12:11! w/ Lk.19:41,44?}  And they distributed the bread to those who were seated. So also with the fish, and everyone ate as much as they wanted.

     12 When they had finished, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing be lost.” 13 So they gathered up the left over pieces, filling twelve baskets with fragments from the five - barley - loaves. {Parable by numbers, even we basket cases will be saved. Trivia - the barley harvest in Israel is the first of three main harvests, a shadow and type of Mt.13:33, key word 3, with 1Cor.15:22-24,27-28 - and in vs  27-28, the five “all things” in vs 27, should read “all” like the two in vs 28. And then, what does the verse repeat five times?}

paraphrased ‘enter the story’

    🕊️reading & study 🕊️

8 - We were so happy to share with you, not only the gospel of God, but our own lives as well. That is how dearly loved you have become to us! 9 For you remember, brothers and sisters, our labor and toil. How when we proclaimed to you the gospel of God, we worked night and day so we might not be a burden to any. 10 And you’re witnesses, and God as well, of how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct among you. 11 For you know how, like a parent with their children, 12 we taught each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, for it’s he who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.

     13 We also thank God always, that when you received the message of God from us, you accepted it not as the word and promise of men, but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in us believers.

Today’s GospeL Verses ~ Luke 12:49-59

49 - He also said to the crowds, “I came to bring fire upon the earth, and I wish it were already kindled!” (To be done with this imperfectness.) 50 “I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it’s accomplished! 51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No I tell you, but rather division, the choosing of sides. 52 From now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. 53 There will be father against son, son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 54 When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower’s coming.’ And so it does. 55 And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat,’ and so it is. 56 You are actors. You know how to read earth and sky (weather). Why do you not know how to read the times?” (Divided we fall.) 57 “And why do you not judge for yourselves? 58 As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make every effort to be released, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison. 59 I tell you, you will not get out until the last penny is handed over.”
