     07/20 - GospeL Verses

17 - After being up on the mountain, praying during the night, he came down into a great crowd of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon. 18 They came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses and diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were also cured. 19 And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.

     20 Looking out upon the crowd of people, he said to them, “Blessed are you, the poor, for the kingdom of God is yours. 21 Blessed are those hungering now, for they will be filled. Blessed are those who weep now, for they shall laugh. 22 Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you {are not inclusive} and insult and slander, you, as evil, on account of the Son of Man! 23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy. For your reward, stored in heaven, is great. For so were the prophets treated.” {Like the red horseman response to the white horse and horseman (the gospel) riding forth, as “a sword not peace” at 1st brief advent.}

     24 “But woe to you who are rich [apechΓ³ - to have in full, receive, be distant, abstain {from God!}]. For you are receiving your leisure now. 25 Woe to you not hungering now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you laughing now” {because of evil doings and plots?} “for you will mourn and weep.” {Due to earthly judgments/consequences, and the solemn judgment within the heart during GWT Judgment ‘Day’. In some cases deep heart and gut wrenching remorse.. but Jn.12:32. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus portrays initiaL, inner conditions, of some, during GWT Judgment ‘Day’. As does the - outside of the vision - narrative, of Rev.22.] 26 “Woe to you, when the world speaks well of you” {and of today’s - of the world - “false prophet”] “for so the fathers listened to their false prophets.

     27 But I say to you who hear [akouΓ³ - listen, hear, understand] love your enemies. Do good to those who despise you. 28 Bless those who curse” {speak evil of, slander, accuse, as cursing?} “you. And pray for those who abuse {accuse, slander?} you. 29 If someone strikes you on the cheek, offer your other cheek as well. And from one who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your shirt.” {Individual, not collective, as collective is the state doing so, impacting the people, and seldom them. Though of course it puts a good face on it. Talks a good talk. You can give away the shirt off your own back, but not off the backs of others. And the state in turn gives the shirt actually to itself. Hello?}

     06/07 - GospeL Verses 

30 - When he was at table with them (at Emmaus) he took up the bread, and then blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 And then their eyes were opened, and they saw who he was. Then he vanished from their sight.

     32 Then they said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road!? And while he opened to us the Scriptures?”

     33 And so they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, 34 who said to them, “The Lord has risen indeed! He has appeared to Simon!” 35 Then the two told what had happened on the road to Emmaus, and how he became known to them by - the breaking of the bread. {Man shall not live on bread alone but by every word from the mouth of God” our spiritual nurturance and feast! But it’s a treasure chest of riddles.. Father lives a good riddle?! Then translators due to disbelief(?) made some (few) translation errors with huGe impact. Pre-flood was hands off (to cannibaalism becoming dominant?) Hands off and first proof. Death to God is like transplanting to an untilled garden awaiting resurrection into aGe of correction / “aionion kolasis” / eonian korrection, aFter which, God says “Behold! I make all new!” and God will now “tabernacle/dwell with mankind”. “The lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow” Isaiah 11:7. ..But before that Isaiah.24:20/Rev.10:4. And the Old Testament has in it war dirges.. Does noT reflect God, but is history. In other words don’t believe the “downplay the scriptures” trend/spirit.. Nor the let’s harshly judge God portrayed in the Old Testament because we don’t understand his message has to also speak to the heartless despots, the serial killers, the child sex traffickers, etc. Their INITIAL inneR condition during GWT judgment ‘day’ is portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable and the outside-of-the vision narrative of Rev.22, which has to do with Mt.13:30 as Rev.16:14-15-16 and, oR Mt.25:1-13(10) door to serving called reigning during long 2nd advent, full scope version of His so brief 1st one.}

45 - “Who then is a wise and faithful servant, whose master has set them over his household, to give out food at the proper time? 46 Blessed is that servant if the master will find so doing when he comes. 47 Truly, I tell you, he will set that one over all that he has. 48 But if that wicked servant says to theirself, ‘My master is delayed,’ 49 and begins to beat up on his fellow servants” {including with words?} “and eats and drinks with drunkards.” {The confused and aka, the world and its ideas and value system.} 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when they don’t expect, and at an hour they are unaware of. 51 They will be separated and their place [meros - part, portion, share] will be with the hypocrites.” {And naturally} “There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

     {Mt.13:30 as Rev.16:14-15-16 and (or) Mt.25:1-13(10) - The initiaL (inner) conditions of - some - rising “still in their imperfection/hamartia - missing the mark” in the “2nd resurrection” (which is strongly suggested by the first one being called “first”) are portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable, and in the - outside of the vision - narrative of Revelation 22.}

     04/04 - GospeL Verses 

16 - Answering the Pharisees, Jesus said, “The Law and the Prophets were until John. But since then, the good news of the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and all [pas - every, the whole, all] press in. 17 But it’s easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of the pen of the law to fail”. {Following the Law - first contract - greatLy benefits! But isn’t what delivers out from death/hades/gone.}

     18 “A man who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and a man who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.

     19 There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and he feasted sumptuously each day. 20 But at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, who was covered with sores, 21 and but desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and he was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. {Into “the” Sabbath from enmity millennium, first half of the Lord’s long second advent, Rev.20, but told like describing crests of waves and not the in between. JOHN 5:28,29.} And the rich man died as well, and was buried, 23 and in hades. {Here the Lord employs the myth with the word?} And being in torment {the inner, outside of the Light, darkness, gnashing of teeth} he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. 24 And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me! Send Lazarus to dip his finger in water and cool my parched tongue, for I am in anguish in this fiery torment.’  {Jn.12:32, “Jesus will draw all” and here the so neglectful rich man who let Lazarus die at his gate, is beginning to progress toward the weeping.. beating self up “with many stripes”.. heartfelt remorse.. until perceiving Christ Crucified, strong enough to appease eveRy conscience, needed because imperfection is an abyss of potential.}

     25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received good things, and Lazarus bad things. But now he is comforted, and you’re in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you is a great gulf (mortal to having “put on immortality/perfection”} in order that those who would pass from here to you cannot, and none may cross from there to us.’ 27 And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, send him to my father's house, 28 for I have five brothers, so he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets, let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent [matanoeo - think better and turn].’ 31 He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”

MATTHEW 8 1-17

    πŸƒπŸ•Š️01/23 - GospeL Verses πŸƒπŸ•Š️

8:1 - When he came down from the mountain, great crowds were following him. 2 And a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” 3 And Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will. Be clean.”And his leprosy was gone immediately. 4 And Jesus said, “Don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses instructed, as a proof to them.”

     5 When he was in Capernaum, a Roman centurion came and said to him, 6 “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” 7 And Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.” 8 But the centurion said, “Lord, I’m not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I too am a man with authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those around him, “Truly, I tell you, no where in all Israel have I found such faith. 11 Many, I tell you, will come from east and west and will recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12 while the sons and daughters of the kingdom will be outside in darkness, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.” {Surely(?) this is foremost, an inner, outside of the Light, darkness.. As portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable (and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22). With gnashing of teeth progressing to weeping.. and beating self up with many stripes, because (Jn.12.32) Jesus said he “will draw all”. All being from the greek word “pas”. Which word was changed into “all things” whenever possible.. Rev.21:5, Eph.1:10, Jn.13:3, 1Cor.15:27-28, five times! ..This due to translator partial disbelief? 

     13 And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go, it will be done for you, as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment.

     14 When Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying sick with a fever, 15 so he touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she rose up and began to prepare a meal for them. 16 And that evening they brought to the house many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. 17 This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, “He took our illnesses and carried our diseases.”

GospeL Verses ~ Luke 16:16-31

16 - “The Law and the Prophets” Jesus said, “were until John. And since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is rushing in. 17 But it’s easier for heaven and earth to pass away than it is for the Law to become meaningless.” (Like gravity, cannot be broken, but breaks. Happily, as believers/followers we are now enabled by “Christ in us” to fulfill the law. Which “love iS the fulfilling” and “God is Love”. Our union with God is through Jesus.. We seek, ask and knock!)

     18 “Everyone who puts away his wife and marries another commits adultery. And he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.” (We have been “born again” so we start anew.)

     19 “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who sumptuously feasted every day. 20 And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, who was covered with sores, 21 and desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked at his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in the Hades” (condition of inner outside of the Light darkness, his initial condition during GWT judgment ‘day’) “being in torment, he lifted his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus. 24 And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me! And send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am parched in this flame.’”(The “Lord’s eyes are like a flame of fire”. Every issue needs aLL pertaining verses. See Eccles.9:5,10 and Jn.5:28,29. Also Jer.35:32.) 25 “But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things. But now he has comfort here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm, those who would pass from here to you are not be able to do so.” (Good news!) “And none can cross from there to us.’” (The first full vivification occurs simultaneous with the first resurrection at the Lord’s return - beginning his long second advent. But the second full vivification occurs only after GWT judgment ‘day’ - aion - has been completed.. with closure for all and all things (surely?) and Truth fully proven to all, that straying/imperfection can never, ever result in anything other than an abyss of potential, a real hellish element, and concludes in death, opposite of Life.) 27 “And the formerly rich man said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him (Lazarus) to my father's house. 28 For I have five brothers, so he may warn them, lest they come to this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets, let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will hear.’ 31 Abraham said, ‘But if they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                  ~ Ephesians 6:4-9 ~

4 - Fathers, don’t provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the training and counsel of the Lord. 5 Bondservants (working off a debt) obey your earthly masters (today employers) with as much ability as you have, and with a sincere heart, as you would Christ, 6 not merely when visible as a front, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 rendering service with good will as to the Lord and not to man, 8 knowing that whatever good we do, this we receive back from the Lord, whether bondservant or free. 9 Masters (employers) be the same to them, not threatening or overbearing, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.
