paraphrased ‘enter the story’

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 imperfection. He brought a sword. White horse openly victorious over powers and principalities, and the response? Red horse of war.. which is given a long and great sword.. Wars are fiery. And start with the so often popular division. Each new hatred considering itself righteous and enlightened, but is just another fiery siren call. It’s so good to know, all shall dwell together, not just in peace, but in love and genuine affection. And nothing else.}
50 “I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it’s finished! 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 in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming.’ And so it does. 55 And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, ‘It will be warm,’ 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 to law with your accuser - make every effort to be reconciled - lest you be dragged into court, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in jail. 59 I tell you, you will not get out untiL you pay the last penny owed.”
