☀️ A.M. James 5:1-8
1 - Listen, you rich weep and wail over the miseries coming! 2 For your riches will rot {and rust} and your garments will be moth-eaten.
3 Your gold and silver corrodes, and is a testimony against you, consuming away your life liKe fire stored up for last days. 4 For, behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you! {Injustice cries a voice God hears, like the blood of Abel, and of all martyrs ..In Rev.6, the fifth seal/element of the times, the martyrs are not prisoners held “under the altar” for millennia, while their blood cries out to God!}
The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the LORD of hosts! 5 You have reveled in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts for a ‘day’ of great war. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person, who doesn’t (even) resist you. {But will reap what they sow.. Their deeds will return on their own heads - Obadiah 1:15. You will fall into the hole you dig (for others) - Proverbs 26:27.}
7 Be patient, therefore, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient, until the earth receives the early aNd the late rains. (Harvests, 1Cor.15:22-24,28 w/ Mt.13:33, key word 3 ..harvests). 8 You also, be patient. Strengthen your hearts. For the coming of the Lord draws near. {For us all, it’s always near.. life as we presently know it, this imperfection/entropy is brief, Jn.5:28.}
🌙 P.M. LUKE 12:1-12
1 - Meanwhile, so many had gathered around Jesus, they were trampling one another. He said to his disciples, “Beware the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy” [hypokrisḗs - literally - acting under a mask]. 2 “Nothing is covered up that won’t be revealed, or hidden that won’t be known. 3 Therefore whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light. {What you’ve conspired or slandered, will come to light.} And what you have whispered in private rooms will be as proclaimed from rooftops.
4 So I tell you, my friends, don’t fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more they can do. 5 But I will warn you whom to fear (you pharisees) fear he who, after the destruction/ruin, has authority to cast into Gehenna [from gay - valley, and Hinnom - Gehenna] {Valley of Armageddon, first one was coming in 70 CE}. Yes, I tell you, fear him! {Evildoers!} 6 BecauSe, are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not oNe of them is forgotten before God! 7 Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not!! YOU are of more value than many sparrows. {And all victims.}
8 And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, also the Son of Man will acknowledge before the angels of God, 9 but the one who denies me before men, will be denied before the angels of God.” (Does noT say ‘forever and ever’.)
10 “And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one blaspheming against the Holy Spirit(/Presence) of God is not forgiven.” {How can they be? While hating God enough to virulently insult him?}
11 Then when they bring you before the councils, the rulers and authorities, don’t be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, 12 for the Holy Spirit(/Presence of God) will guide you in that very hour what you should say.”
Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.
have a good day! ☀️🕊️
