05-23 - From 2Pet-2 Jn-18 Mt-26

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)] {๐Ÿ˜ฎ 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 [tรฉreรณ - kept, guarded, observed, watched over, reserved]. {A reservation.. meaning the fruit is inner darkness and gloom.}


            ๐ŸŒ™ 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.

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

 • Philippians 2:17-30  Matthew 21:1-9 and Rev.20:7-10 separately


            ☀️ Philippians 2:17-30

17 - Even if I (Paul) am being poured out like a sacrificial offering in faith and service, I’m glad and rejoice! 18 And so should you.

     19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of how you’re doing. 20 For there’s not many like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. 21 For all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. {Why Jesus said the gates of hell would not prevail? ..Against ‘the church’/believers as a whole. Hell is spiritual, darkness, and that slow gehenna that “doesn’t quit”, imperfection/entropy.} 22 But you know Timothy's proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel [euaggelion - good news, good message]. 23 I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me.

     24 And I trust in the Lord that shortly I too may come to see you. 25 I’ve thought it necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and soldier, your messenger you sent to help me. 26 For he has been missing you all and has been distressed because you heard he was ill.

    27 Indeed he was ill, near to death even. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me as well! Lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and I too will be less anxious. 29 Receive him in the Lord with all joy! And honor such men as he, 30 for he nearly died for the work of Christ. And he risked his life to complete what you were unable to yourselves.


            ๐ŸŒ™ Matthew 21:1-9

(Eyewitness accounts always differ. We are suspicious if they don’t.) 1 - Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples ahead, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village in front of us, and immediately you’ll find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone asks you about it, say, ‘The Lord needs them’. And he’ll send them at once.”

     4 This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet, 5 “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you! Humble, and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”

     6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had told them. 7 And they brought the donkey and the colt. They put their cloaks on the colt, and he rode it.

     8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before him, and that followed him, were shouting, “Hosanna! To the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! Hosanna in the highest!”

๐Ÿ—️s New Testament & Bible prophecy study, verses paraphrased [ ] references { } thots

 • Romans 6:1-7  Matthew 10:27-42


            ☀️ Romans 6:1-7

1 - What shall we say then? Should we continue in sin so grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How can we who died to sin still live in it? {In captivity to it.} 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus, were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried with him. We were baptized into his death {our old and imperfect self died with him}. So that also as he was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might rise up to walk in newness of life. 

   5 And if we hAve been united with him in his death, then we will certainly be united with him in his resurrection as well. 6 We know that our - old - self was crucified with him in order that the tendency to sin might be broken. So we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For one who has died {in this way} has been set free from sin.


            ๐ŸŒ™ Matthew 10:27-42

27 - “What I tell you in private” said Jesus to his followers, “proclaim openly. And what you hear whispered, say from the housetops.

     28 Don’t fear those who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul” [psyxแธ— - from psyxล - to breathe, blow, which is the root of the English words psyche, psychology – soul (psyche) a person's distinct identity, unique personhood, i.e. individual personality] ["the soul that sins shall die" Ezekiel 18:20]. “Rather fear he who cAn destroy both soul and body in [en - in, on, at, with, among, by] gehenna. {This slow gehenna fade to total fade out, ten four, over and out.. Natural law, God is Life and “is Perfect” Mt.5:48, so imperfect is both entropy and an abyss of potential. So let the dis-ease run its course with the remedy for all built into this ‘quick’ one & done, because an Ant Farm is no true paradise/perfection. (Eph.1:10.) And God, being Life, suffers it all.}

     29 “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father? 30 Even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear noT, therefore, you, are of more value than many sparrows.”

     32 “Everyone who acknowledges me before men, I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny before my Father who’s in heaven.” {Does not say ‘forever’. Never does, but is “aionion”/eonian.}

     34 “Don’t think that I’ve come to bring peace to the earth. {NoT yet.} I’ve not come to bring peace, but a sWord. {THY word is Truth.. otherwise it’s a house built on sand ..and many will say, Lord, Lord.. [..as Mt.13:30 is Rev.16:14-15-16 and, or Mt.25:1-13 to serving called reigning during long second advent, surely a full scope version of his first so brief one.] 35 “For I’ve come {the first time} to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 A person's adversaries will be those of their own household.

     37 But whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever doesn’t take ip their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life {hangs on to their own ways before his} will lose it, and whoever lets go of their life for my sake, will find it. {God surely(?) has our highest blueprint.} 40 Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives he who sent me.

     41 Whoever receives a prophet because they are a prophet will receive a prophet's reward. And whoever receives a righteous person because they are a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward. 42 And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because they are my disciple [mathรฉtรฉs - disciple, learner, pupil, believer] truly, I tell you, they shall noT, by any means, lose their reward.” [Misthos - reward, wages, fruit naturally resulting.]

12-30 - John 1 19-28

๐Ÿ—️’s to riddles, N.T. in a yr study, verses paraphrased Logic [ ] references { } thots

๐ŸŒ™ 19 - This is the testimony of John (the Baptist/baptizer) when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 He answered them, “I’m not the Christ.” 21 And they asked, “Who then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “No.” “Are you the Prophet?” ..“No.” 22 So they said, “Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us.! What do you say about yourself?”

     23 He said, “I’m the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord!’ as the prophet Isaiah said.” [Isaiah 40 - 3 The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, “Prepare the way of the LORD! Make a straight path in the desert for our God. 4 Every valley will be exalted, and every mountain and hill will be made low! The crooked places will be made straight, and the rough places will be made smooth. 5 And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all will see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has said it.]

     24 They had been sent from the Pharisees, 25 and they asked him, “Then why are you baptizing, if you’re neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”

     26 John answered, “I baptize with water, but among you stands one you don’t know! 27 He will come after me. The strap of whose sandal I’m not worthy to untie.” 28 This was in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

 N.T. in a year reading & study, verses R paraphrased [  ] references {  } thots

☀️ 29 - So in meeting, let two or three prophets/teachers speak, and let the others consider with discernment what is said. 30 And if then a revelation is given to another, the first should let that one speak. 31 So that all may prophesy one by one, and all may learn together and be encouraged. 32 One who prophecies is in control of their own spirit. {It’s not like being ‘possessed’ as would occur in pagan observances and rites.} 33 For God is a God of peace, not confusion [akatastasia -disorder, confusion, instability, tumult, chaos; from - a - not, and katastasis - order, stability]. As in all the meetings of believers, 34 the women in church should not be talking [laleรณ - conversing, speaking, talking, from lalos - talkative] but should be orderly, as the Law also says. 35 If they have questions, they can ask their husbands at home. For it’s not proper to be talkative in church.

     36 Is it from you the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has come to? 37 If anyone thinks they are a prophet, or spiritual, they should acknowledge that the things I’m writing to you are instructions of the Lord. 38 If anyone doesn’t recognize this, ignore them. 39 So, my brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But let all things be done decently and in order.

ACTS 7 17-37

  Book of the Acts of the First Believers

(Stephen continues his very good history lesson) 17 - “But as the time of the promise [of a homeland] drew near, which God had told Abraham, the people had increased and multiplied in Egypt 18 until another king rose in Egypt who didn’t know Joseph [the nation as friends]. 19 He dealt poorly with our race and forced our fathers to expose their infants [to the elements] so they would perish. 20 And it was at this time that Moses was born, and he was beautiful in God's sight.” {As all babies are.. Yet God was choosing/had chosen/predetermined Moses for his purpose.} “And he remained for three months in his father's house, 21 and when he was put out in the elements, Pharaoh's daughter adopted him and brought him up as her own. 22 And so Moses was instructed in all the schooling and knowledge of the Egyptians, and was also gifted in his words and in his deeds.

     23 When he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel. 24 And then seeing one of them being beaten, he defended and avenged the oppressed man by striking down the Egyptian. 25 He supposed that his brothers would understand that God was going to deliver them by his hand, but they didn’t. 26 And on the following day he returned and saw some were quarreling and he tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you’re brothers. Why do you fight each other?’ 27 But the man who was wronging his neighbor {fellow person} pushed him aside, and said, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?! 28 Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?!’ 29 At this, Moses fled and became an exile in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.

     30 Now when forty years had passed, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in the flame of a burning bush.” {Must be a strong metaphor here. Parable, in the literal. Fire that doesn’t consume. Is in the heart?} 31 Now when Moses saw that, he was amazed. And as he drew near to get a better look, there came from the bush, the voice of the LORD saying, 32 ‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.’ And Moses trembled and no longer dared to look. 33 Then the LORD said to him, ‘Take the sandals from off your feet, for the place where you’re standing is holy ground. 34 I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in slavery and bondage in Egypt. I have heard their groaning, and I’ve come down to deliver them. So now come, I will send you to Egypt.’

     35 This Moses” Stephen continued, “whom they at first rejected, saying, ‘Who made you a judge and ruler?’—this man God sent as both ruler and redeemer by the hand of the angel [aggelos - a messenger, delegate] who was in the burning bush. 36 This Moses is the one who led them out, and performed wonders and signs in Egypt, at the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years. 37 And this is the one who said to the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you the prophet like me, from among your brothers.’”

AMOS

 ๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ‘  Verse 1:1 sent me running to a list of commentaries, lol. So I read a few.. And they, plus I’ve read Amos before, have given me the impression Amos, as a prophet, was saying the world, of his day, and I figure every day, is very messed up, and sure to be calamitous, but God’s message, and paradise, will reach all the ends of Earth and then rule {dwell and hold sway} forever.

From the Prophets - Amos - not long

Israel microcosm, world, macro.

   Quick Summary — “The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills!”

     “You trample on the heads of the poor.. sold the innocent for silver.. and deny justice to the oppressed!  .. Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants .. You say, ‘Do not prophesy.. and stop preaching against’.. “So I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight.” {His wrath as consequences!

     Isaiah 24:20 - the earth will shake to and fro. Rev.10:4 - when the seven thunders make their voices heard (thermonuclear lightning and thunder? The higher and faster moisture rises the bigger and greater the hail. One ‘thunder’ is in the past.}

     1:1 The words of Amos, a shepherd —the vision he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake..

     and Damascus, Gaza, Tyre, Edom, Ammon, Moab …and Judah..

   ..sold the innocent for silver .. you trample on the heads of the poor as on the dust of the ground and deny justice to the oppressed.. 2:14 The swift won’t escape, the strong won’t muster their forces, and the warrior won’t save his life. 15 The archer won’t stand his ground, the fleet-footed soldier won’t get away, and the horseman won’t save his life. 16 Even the bravest warriors will flee.. 3:6 when a trumpet sounds.. 7 Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. ..11 An enemy will enter your land, sap your strength and plunder your palaces ..15 the great houses will be destroyed..

    4:1 .. who oppress the poor and crush the needy.. 6 lack of bread in every city.. 11 yet you have not returned to me, declares the Lord. 12 ..prepare to meet your God. 13 He who formed the mountains, who created the wind, and who reveals his thoughts to mankind, who turns dawn to darkness, and treads upon the heights of the earth — the Lord God Almighty is his name.

5:9  With a blinding flash he destroys the stronghold, and brings the fortified city to ruin..

11 You levy a straw tax on the poor and impose a tax on their grain. Therefore, though you have built stone mansions, you won’t be living in them; though you’ve planted lush vineyards, you won’t be drinking their wine. 12 ..There are those who oppress the innocent, take bribes, and deprive the poor of justice in the courts. 13  Therefore the prudent forbear in such times, for the times are evil. 15 Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts. Perhaps the LORD God Almighty will have mercy..

    6:11 ..he will smash the great house into pieces and the small house into bits. 7:14 Amos answered Amaziah, “I was not a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but was a shepherd, and a tender of sycamore trees. 15 But the Lord took me from tending the flock and said, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ 16 But you say, ‘Do not prophesy.. and stop preaching against the descendants of Isaac.’

17 Therefore this is what the Lord says, ‘Israel will surely go into exile, away from their native land’..”

     8:1 What the Sovereign LORD showed me was a basket of ripe fruit. 2 “What do you see, Amos?” he said. “A basket of ripe fruit,” I answered. 6 ..buying the poor for silver, the needy for a pair of shoes and sell the chaff of the wheat.. 8 Will not the land thus tremble, and those who live in it mourn? .. 9 “In that day,” declares the Sovereign LORD, “I will make it dark at noon, darkening the earth in broad daylight. 11 “The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign LORD, “when I will send a famine through the land — not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD. 12 People will stagger..

     9:11 “In that day I will raise up David’s tabernacle. I will repair its broken walls and ruins — and will rebuild it to be as it used to be.. 13 “The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when the reaper will be overtaken by the plow, and the planter, by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills, 14 and I will bring my people Israel back from exile. {Ultimately includes us all? When the scales fall from our eyes and we believe, we are “grafted into Israel”. Though this does noT take away from the nation and ethnicity of the Abrahamic, Hebrew nation being gathered back to the land, and back to God. Israel is the prominent example? The micro version of humanity and our being strayed/imperfect/entropic. Which is preferable to ant farm, the only other option? God will accomplish total ‘herd’ immunity. Jerusalem will be (is) God’s capitol.} They will rebuild ruined cities and dwell there. They will plant vineyards and drink the wine. They will create gardens and eat the fruit of them. 15 I will plant Israel in her own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given to them..” {And humanity to its created place, but this important contrast is unavoidable, so he designed and engineered it so it will be one and done! Finished, case solidly proven age to age?}

31 - Right then some of the Pharisee party came up, and told Jesus, “You should leave here! Herod wants to kill you!” [Herod Antipas, son of Herod the Great who had the young boys of Bethlehem killed. Herod Antipas executed John the Baptist, though he didn’t want to but was tricked into it by his wife.] 32 And Jesus said, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course.” {BCE, CE, and post CE?} 33 “Nevertheless, I must go on my way today and tomorrow, and the day following, for it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.” [Herod was a hebrew by birth, but “hellenized”.]

     34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! {‘Micro’ version, partial scope. Macro at history’s culmination.} How often I would have gathered you to myself {to life, blessing, safety} as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would not! 35 Now behold, your house is left desolate.” {God’s Spirit/Presence is a shield, if the shield wanes, logically, the great hatred of the adversary can find entrance.} “And I tell you, you won’t see me again (Jerusalem) until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD!’” [A key to prophecy.]

     14:1 - Later, on a Sabbath, he went to dine at the house of a leader of the Pharisees, and they were watching him closely. 2 There was a man there who had dropsy [hudrรณpikos - “edema, a disease produced by the accumulation of water in various parts of the body; very distressing, and commonly incurable; notice how Luke the (greek) doctor uses the name (hudrรณpikos) of the illness”]. 3 And Jesus responded to the lawyers and Pharisees {who were testing him} saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath? Or not?” 4 But they didn’t answer, and he healed the man and sent him on his way. 5 He said to them, “Which one of you, having a son or even an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath, will not go and pull him out??” 6 And they couldn’t give an answer.

27 - Jesus traveled on with his disciples, walking to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And while they were walking he asked his disciples, “Who do people say I am?” 28 And they answered, “Some say John the Baptist. Others say, Elijah. Or one of the prophets.”

     29 And he asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered saying, “You are the Christ!” 30 And he told them by no means to tell any one about him. {His execution would come all the sooner..?}

     31 He began to teach them how the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the leaders, the chief priests and scribes, and he would be killed, and after three days he would rise. 32 And he said it plainly. So Peter took him aside and said, “Don’t talk like that!” 33 But turning and seeing his disciples listening, he said to Peter, “Get behind me, adversary! For you are not seeing as God sees, but your thinking is according to how man sees.”

     04/16 - GospeL Verses 

33 - “Listen to another parable,” Jesus said. “There was a master/mister of a house who planted a vineyard. He put a fence around it, dug a winepress, and built a tower. Then he leased it to caretaker tenants, and traveled to another country. 34 And when the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to get his share of the fruit. 35 But the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned yet another. 36 A little later he sent other servants, more than the first. But they did the same to them. 37 Finally he sent his son, saying, ‘They’ll respect my son!’ 38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and we’ll have his inheritance.’ 39 So they took him, threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40 So when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” 41 The leaders (Pharisees, and chief priests) said to him, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death! And will let out the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him the fruits in their season.”

     42 Jesus said, “Have you never read in the Scriptures - ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the chief stone. This was the LORD’s doing, and it’s marvelous in our eyes’? 43 Therefore I’m telling you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and given to a people producing its fruits. 44 And whoever falls upon this stone will be broken, but when it falls upon someone, it will crush them.” {70 CE. judgment, cause and effect.}

     45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them. 46 And although they were seeking to arrest him, they feared the crowds, because they held him to be a prophet. (Afraid the crowd would stone them, Lk.20:6. They had powerful seats, and sought to retain those seats, but they couldn’t get too out of hand/iron fisted. Why Jesus’ arrest would be under cover of night.}

MATTHEW 11 1-10

  ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ•Š️02/02 - GospeL Verses ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ•Š️

1 - When Jesus had instructed his twelve disciples (and sent them out) he went on from there to teach and preach in the cities.

     2 Now when John (the Baptist) heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples 3 to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come? Or shall we look for another?” 4 And Jesus answered, “Go and tell John what you hear and see, 5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news preached to them. 6 And blessed is the one who does not fall away from me.”

     7 And as they were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 8 No? What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? You can find those who wear soft clothing in kings' houses. 9 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is he of which it is written (said by Father to Son) ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’”

27 - What I tell you in the dark (in quietness, in solitude), say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. 28 And don’t fear those who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul” [psyxแธ— - from psyxล - to breathe, blow, which is the root of the English words psyche, psychology – soul (psyche) a person's distinct identity, unique personhood, i.e. individual personality] ["the soul that sins shall die" Ezekiel 18:20]. “Rather fear he who cAn destroy both soul and body in [en - in, on, at, with, among, by] gehenna. {This slow gehenna fade to total fade out, ten four, over and out..

And God, being Life, suffers it all.}

     29 “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father. 30 Even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear noT, therefore, you, are of more value than many sparrows.

Haggai Chapter One

 (Now) Weekly From the Prophets

      ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ•️ ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿƒ

The Book of the Prophet Haggai - is two chapters, and is third from the last book of the Old/Ancient Testament.

     Background (we last studied Daniel) — 586bc Nebuchadnezzar sacked Jerusalem, carried many off to Babylon.. Babylon later falls to Persia.

    Belshazzar, Nebuchadnezzar’s son succeeded him. He was the last Babylonian king, and was the “writing on the wall” king. He was followed by Darius the Mede (of Media-Persia) ..He was otherwise known as Nabonidus? He “received the kingdom” (under?) Cyrus the Great of Persia (remember how Persia “rose higher”?) Darius the Mede ruled only two years - Darius and Cyrus ruled concurrently, and Darius was likely appointed viceroy over Babylon by his nephew, King Cyrus who ruled from 550bc to 538bc. Darius (the Mede) promoted Daniel (the prophet) to a high position and then was tricked into casting him into the lions’ den. When he saw Daniel was unhurt, Darius decreed “people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel. For he is the living God who endures forever. His kingdom will not be destroyed, his dominion will never end!” And as viceroy he was, and had been, favorable to Israel.

     Cyrus had decreed all Israel in all his kingdom could, and should go home, and some/many did, led by Zerubbabel (who was a descendent of King David) and they began to “rebuild the TEMPLE” (and, side note: at the time of Cyrus’ proclamation, the massive empire included once again Assyria where the northern tribes had been carried off into captivity). [This proclamation is not the one that began the countdown prophesied by Daniel called “70 weeks”.]

     Adapted from commentary:

The name Haggai means "my feast" perhaps meaning in anticipation of the joyous return from exile. He was likely one of the Jewish exiles (of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi) who returned to the land of Israel under Zerubbabel, civil head of Isreal during the return, with Joshua the high priest. It was 536 BCE, when Cyrus (as prophecied in Isa 44:28 and 45:1) granted Israel their freedom, and supplied them with what they needed for restoring the temple (2Ch 36:23; Ezr 1:1; 2:2). The work of rebuilding went on under Cyrus and his successor Cambyses (called Ahasuerus in Ezr 4:6).

     Haggai Chapter One

1:1 - In the second year of King Darius — this is Darius the Great, not Darius the Mede who co-ruled for two years. Some time has passed, this Darius (of Persia) is listed as third after Cyrus. — In the second year of Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month [on the new moon, always a festival with a community “with God” meal] the word (message) of the Lord/Yhvh came to Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the high priest, son of Jehozadak: 2 “Thus says Yhvh of hosts: It’s said by the people, the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the Lord.” 3 And continued the word to Haggai, 4 “Is it a time for you to dwell in your nicely built houses, while mine lies in ruins? 5 Now, therefore, says Yhvh of hosts - Consider your ways. 6 You have sown much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but you are not warm, and the workers wages go as into a bag with holes.”

     (In other words, oh nation, where are you going wrong?)

     7 “Thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways. 8 Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be remembered, says the Lord. 9 You looked for much, but behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, it blew away. Why? It is because of my house. It lies in ruins, and all are busy with only their own house. 10 Therefore the heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. 11 Summoned is a drought on the land and hills, and on the grain, the new wine, upon the oil, and what the earth brings forth, upon man and upon beast, and upon all your labors.” (God iS life, and every blessing.)

     12 Then Zerubbabel and Joshua the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Yhvh their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent. And the people remembered and revered Yhvh. 13 Then Haggai, messenger of the Lord, spoke to the people with the Lord's message, “I am with you, says Yhvh.” 14 And he stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the high priest, son of Jehozadak, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and began work on the house of Yhvh, their God, 15 on the twenty-fourth day of the month, of the sixth month, in the second year of King Darius called the Great.

From New Testament Letters

  ~ 1 Corinthians 14:29-40 ~

(Still answering their questions.) 29 If there is prophesying, let two or three speak, and the rest, discern. 30 And if a new revelation is received by another, let the first allow them to speak. 31 So then one by one you will prophecy, so that all will learn and be profited and encouraged [parakaleo]. 32 For the prophet is in control of the prophesying. (It’s not a robotic thing.) 33 For God is not a God of disorder and chaos, but of peace, as should be in all the churches [ekklรฉsia - assemblies]. 34 And the women in meeting, should keep silence, for it is not allowed for them to (be) talk(ing) [laleรณ - talking, chatter in classical Greek, from lalos - talkative] but to (also) be in submission, as reason/logic determines. 35 And if it’s a matter of questions, instead let them ask their husband at home, for it is not proper that they be talkative [laleรณ] during church meeting. 36 Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached? 37 If anyone thinks they are a prophet, or spiritual, they should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are from the Lord. 38 But if anyone be ignorant [agnoeรณ] let him be so! 39 So my brethren, desire to prophecy and don’t forbid the speaking in tongues. 40 But let all things be done properly  and orderly.

04/25 ๐”‰๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ช Mt.24, 1Tim.4

  Matthew 24:1-6


    1 - As Jesus left the temple courtyard and was walking away, his disciples came up to him and proudly pointed out to him the temple buildings. 2 But he responded, “Do you see ALL this? I tell you the truth, there will not be even one stone left on top of another which will not be thrown down.” (An age ended in 70 A.D. when Jerusalem was very violently razed, the temple complex demolished. All that remains of that complex is part of the Western Wall.) [Prophecy buffs, students or just curious, read verse two again.]

     (And Dan.12:11-12, about Israel, Daniel was a Hebrew prophet prophesying about his  nation - literal translation - “From the time is taken away the continual, and is set up” [nathan: to give, put, set up] “the desolating abomination, a thousand, two hundred and ninety days”. Between/until. And next verse “happy the one who waits and comes to the days one thousand, three hundred and thirty-five” which is forty five days later.)

     3 Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives and his disciples came to him privately saying, “Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign, will signal, your return and the end of the world?” [End - syntรฉleia - from - sรฝn - close together with - and - telรฉล - complete, culmination, consummation] of [the world - aiรณn, age.]

     4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 Many indeed will come in the name of me saying I am the Christ and many they will mislead. (Possibly? saying I, Jesus, am the Christ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผ‍♀️ and will mislead many. The Nicolaitan/Jezebel type of trend?) 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

   The First Letter to Timothy

        ~ 1 Timothy 4:9-16 ~

9 Trustworthy is the saying, and worthy of full acceptance (that godliness is very profitable). 10 It’s for this we toil and strive! Because we have hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all, especially of those who believe. 11 - Insist on these things and teach them. 12 Don't let anyone look down on you (Timothy) for being young. Instead, make your speech, behavior, love, faith, and purity an example for other believers. 13 Until I come, give your time and effort to the public reading of the Scriptures and to preaching [parรกklฤ“sis – properly, a call (urging), done by someone "close beside," i.e. a personal exhortation that delivers the "evidence that stands up in court”, encouragement, comfort] and in teaching. 14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift/endowment within you, which was intentionally bestowed on you [by the Holy Spirit] through prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands on you [at your election]. 15 Practice these things. Devote your life to them so that everyone can see your progress. 16 Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching.
