Hebrews 4:1-3  Luke 1:46-56

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 4:1-3

1 - So! While the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of us should seem to fail to reach that rest. 2 For the good news has come to us just as it did to those of old, but the message didn’t benefit them, because they weren’t united in the faith with those who did hear. 3 For we who have believed enter that rest, as he said, “As I swore in my wrath {cause and effect, imo} ‘They shall not {cannot} enter my rest.’” Although! His works were finished from the foundation/forming of the world.

     {He has his blueprint.. it’s all in motion. What’s the logic in our stalling? And not “entering that REST” that leaning and dependence upon Him to do HiS work in us. All we have to do, is be His. It’s all plus, plus. He has each one’s highest blueprint and spiritual dna. He can be trusted.}

            🌙 P.M. Luke 1:46-56

46 - And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord! 47 And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! 48 For he has looked on the humble estate of his handmaiden. And behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed. 49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name! 50 His mercy is for those who revere him from generation to generation. 51 He has shown strength with his arm! He has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their own hearts. 52 He has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate. 53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.

     54 He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, 55 as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring - forever.”

     56 And Mary remained with Elizabeth, in the hill country, for about three months, then she returned home.

 2 Timothy 4:9-22  Matthew 27:62-66 and ACTS 2:22-41 separately

            ☀️ A.M. 2 Timothy 4:9-22

9 - Do your best to come here soon. 10 For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica.

     Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. 11 Luke alone is with me. Bring Mark with you, for he’s a good helper for the work. 12 I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring the cloak I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments.

     14 Alexander the coppersmith did me a great harm, the Lord will render to him according to his deeds. 15 Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposes our message. 16 At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. May it not be charged against them!

     17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles (nations, those of the nations) might hear it. And so I was rescued from the lion's mouth. 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly {heaven-like} kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever! Amen.

     19 Greet Priscilla and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. [In his first letter, 1Tim.1:16, he wrote - “May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains.”] {Priscilla is now mentioned first.}

    20 Erastus stayed at Corinth, and I left Trophimus, who was ill, at Miletus. 21 Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus sends you greetings, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brothers. 22 The Lord be with your spirit. And grace be with you.

            🌙 P.M. Matthew 27:62-66

[There are three Sabbaths, strict no work days, of Spring holy week, the first and last days of the seven days of “unleavened bread” and the regular weekly Sabbath.] 62 - The next day, on the (First Day of Unleavened Bread) Sabbath, the Hebrew leaders, the chief priests and the Pharisees, went before Pilate and 63 said, “Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, ‘After three days I’ll rise.’ 64 Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day! Lest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”

     65 Pilate said, “You have a guard of soldiers, go and make it as secure as you can.” 66 So they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone, and setting a guard to watch over it.

 2 Timothy 2:22-3:7  John 19:23-27

            ☀️ A.M. 2 Timothy 2:22-3:7

22 - So flee youthful passions. Pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a genuine and pure heart. 23 Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies. You know that they breed quarrels. 24 And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach patiently, 25 correcting opponents with gentleness. That God may grant them repentance leading to knowing the truth, 26 and they come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.

     3:1 - But understand this, in the last days there will be times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, full of conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness {!? ..puts on sheep’s clothing? talks a good talk?} but denying its power. {Which is God.} Avoid such. 6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture the weak, burdened with sins [hamartia - (of) missing the mark, with flaws, weaknesses] and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never able to arrive at an understanding of the truth. {The world’s ways, and life as we presently know it, this contrast, imperfection, an abyss of potential, is - so to speak - a very powerful delusion.}

            🌙 P.M. John 19:23-27

23 - When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier. But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, 24 so they said, “Let’s not tear it, but we’ll cast lots to see whose it’ll be.” This fulfilled the Scripture which says, “They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.” For indeed the soldiers did these things.

     25 Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and her sister, and Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved (John referred to himself this way) standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his household.

 • 2 Peter 3:8-18  Matthew 27:1-10

            ☀️ A.M. 2 Peter 3:8-18

8 - But don’t overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. {This logically doesn’t mean every day is code for a millennium.. BUT! I do think our heavenly Father/Creator has fixed 6 millennia for things to run course. No option to stray in Eden and we’d be an ant farm?! After this unavoidable (entropic) contrast has run its course, then a Sabbath millennium as a rest from evil and enmity, followed by “the last great day” an “8th day” Rev.20, but which is described like the crests of waves and not much of the in between. So an outline, the week plus one. A second outline, within this first one is the ancient Spring and Fall holy days, as the first (brief) and the second (long) advent of Jesus - Leviticus chapter 23.}

     9 The Lord isn’t slow to fulfill his promise as some might think of slowness, but he is patient, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. [Not willing - boulomai - will, wish, desire, intend.] {Can anYthing thwart God’s will/intent?!} 10 But the - day - of the LORD will come {surreptitiously} like a thief, in the which the heavens will pass with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be revealed. [The three mentions of lake of fire, are at huge fiery events. The last one is in Revelation, 21, verses 1-5, the fiery regenesis. The first is at armageddon battle. Prophecy descriptions are sometimes described as their full effects, their first and last effects in a a sort of swirl. Aka, here, and “the seals”.]

     11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be, living lives of truth, goodness and godliness, 12 while expectantly waiting for the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! [Rev.21:1-5] 13 But according to his promise! We are waiting for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness will be at home. {And rule..}

     14 Therefore, beloved, since you’re waiting for these {the world’s armageddon.. and the much later regenesis when God says “behold! I make all new!” And after which, “the bear will graze with the cow, and the lion will eat straw like the ox” Isaiah 11:7} be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish - and at peace. 15 And think of the patience of our LORD as salvation [soteria - welfare, deliverance, preservation, prosperity, salvation, safety]. This is just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him, 16 as he writes in his letters, when he writes  of these matters, in which there are some things hard to understand, which the unknowing and unstable twist {get confused} to their own ruin, as they do the other Scriptures. 17 You therefore, beloved, knowing all this beforehand, take care that you’re not carried away with the error of lawless people. And lose your own stability. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

            🌙 P.M. Matthew 27:1-10

1 - When morning came, the leaders of the people - all the chief priests and elders - took counsel against Jesus to have him put to death. 2 They bound him and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate the governor.

     3 Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he changed his mind and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood!” They said, “What do we care? What is it to us?” 5 So he threw down the pieces of silver into the temple, and then he left and went out and hanged himself.

     6 And the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it’s blood money.” 7 So they took further counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. 8 Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this very day. 9 Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of he on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, 10 and they gave them for the potter's field” as the prophecy stated.

ACTS 18 1-16

 Luke wrote “of the things fulfilled among us” paraphrased [ ] ref { } thots

     Book of the Acts of the First Believers

1 - Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. 2 And there he met a Hebrew (a Jew) named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Emperor Claudius had ordered all Hebrews out of Rome.

     Paul went to see them, 3 and because he was of the same trade as they were, he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers.

     4 And he was reasoning in the synagogue every Sabbath, trying to persuade both Jews and Greeks the word (message) that Jesus was Messiah. 5 But at about the time Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, 6 they began throwing insults at him, for they had been opposing him. So Paul shook out his garments against them, and said, “The consequences be on your own heads! I’m innocent! From now on I’m going to the Gentiles!”

     7 He left there and went next door to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God. 8 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, also believed in the Lord, along with all his household. And many of the Corinthians listening to Paul believed and were baptized.

     9 The Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but go on speaking and don’t be silent, 10 for I’m with you, and no one will attack to harm you, for I have many here in Corinth, who are my people.” 11 And Paul stayed a year and six months, teaching the word/message of God among them.

     12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the leaders of the synagogue made a unified attack on Paul and brought him before the Roman tribunal, 13 saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to Roman law!” 14 But when Paul was about to speak in his defense, Gallio said, “If it were a matter of wrong doing or a vicious crime, I would have reason to accept your complaint! 15 But since it’s a matter of questions about words and names and your own laws, see to it yourselves! I refuse to be a judge of these things.” 16 And he sent them away from the tribunal.

BOOK OF REVELATION

 (The angel continues.) 11 - “As for the beast that was and is not, it’s an eighth but it belongs to the seven {at final fulfillment, seven become one?} and it goes to destruction. 12 And the ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received ruling power, but they are to receive authority as kings - for one hour [hóra - hour, time, finite season] - together with the beast{/entity/institution}. {Ten horns, kings, seats, divisions, toes-Dn2. Rev.13:5 - And a mouth was given to it, speaking great things and blasphemy, and it was given authority for forty and two months. Second 3.5 of a lauded treaty that alas only lasts 7 yrs.}

     13 These (ten) are - of one mind - and they hand over their power and authority TO the beast. 14 They will make war against the Lamb (Ps.2, Rev.6:3-4) and the Lamb will prevail [nikaó - prevail, subdue, overcome, conquer, from nikē - have the victory, 1Cor.15:(22-)27-28] for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.”

     15 And the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.16 And the ten horns and the beast {political} will hate the prostitute {$ity Babble}. They will make her desolate and naked, and devour {consume, waste} her and will burn her with fire {warfare, seal 2, but the seals are described as a blend of their first and last effects} 17 for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and handing over their royal power to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of Earth.”

☀️ 10 - For we {context is believers} must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ. [Judgment seat - bema - in ancient Greek and Roman culture, a béma was a platform where officials would sit to hear legal cases, deliver public addresses or proclamations, they were often located in public squares or forums, and were a common feature in the cities of the Roman Empire; literally, means a tribunal-chair for rewards and penalties to be given, or in Greek games, the rewards, metals or honors - info from a biblehub dot com commentary.]

     This is that each may receive what is due, for what they’ve done in the body {of Christ} whether - good or evil {not good}. 11 Therefore, knowing the Lord, we persuade others to God. And what we are, is known to God! And I hope it is known to you.

     12 We’re not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you cause to boast about us. So you may be able to answer those who boast about outward appearance, instead of what is in the heart.

     13 For if we’re beside ourselves, it’s for God. And if we’re in our right mind, it’s for you. 14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we’ve realized, and have concluded, that one has died for all, as all die.

     15 And he died for all, so those living may no longer live for themselves, but for the one who for their sake died, and was raised. 16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to outward appearance. Even though we once regarded Christ that way, we do so no longer.

     17 This is because if anyone is in Christ, they’re a new creation. The old has passed away, and behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God - who through Christ, reconciled us to himself - and gave to us {who believe, 2Tim.3:16} the work of reconciliation. 19 For, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to himself - not recognizing or taking into account faults, trespasses, or crimes, and has entrusted to us the message of reconciliation.

     20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us as we implore you on behalf of Christ, to be reconciled to God. {And thus united to him.} 21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we become the righteousness {and rightness} oF God. [To become - gínomai – properly, to emerge, become, transitioning from one point (realm, condition) to another.]

9 - Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to genuinely love one another, 10 for that indeed is what you’re doing with the brothers and sisters throughout Macedonia. And we urge you to love more and more. 11 And also to live quietly, minding your own affairs, working with your own hands, as we taught before, 12 so you may walk properly in the world and not be dependent on anyone.

     13 And we don’t want you to be uninformed about those who are asleep (in death) that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope [elpis - expectation]. {Have not hope/expectation because they have not yet heard the “good news for all”.}

     14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so {in that way} shall God bring with Jesus, those who are asleep in him.

     15 For we who are alive - who are left until his coming - will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

    16 The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command. With the voice of an archangel. And so it is, with the sounding of the trumpet of God, shall the dead in Christ rise first. - This we declare to you, by a word from the Lord. - 17 Then we who are alive to his coming, will be caught up together with them, in the clouds, to meet him! [The bridegroom at his coming. So where’s the bride? The bride is Jerusalem, both the millennial Jerusalem and the “New Jerusalem”.] And so.. shall we always be with the Lord. {Where he goes, we go. Zech.14:4 - “On that day, his feet shall stand on Mt of Olives.” ..Isaiah 2:3 - “And many peoples from all nations, shall come, and say: ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.’ For out of Zion shall go forth the law” (love God, and thus love all) “and - out of Jerusalem - shall go forth the word [logos - logic, reasoning] of the LORD.”}

     18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

         Paul’s Letter To The Romans           

25 - So you don’t become arrogant, and lest you be wise in your own sight {a very bad thing} don’t be unaware of this mystery - that a partial hardening has - come upon - Israel, untiL the fullness of the nations is come in. 26 And so in this way, all Israel will be saved, as it’s written, “The one who delivers will come from Zion, and will banish ungodliness from Jacob. 27 And this is my covenant [agreement, contract, testament] with them when I take away their sins [hamartia - (their/our) missing the mark].”

     28 As concerns the gospel, they’re opponents.  {Were.} But as regards election, they’re beloved. Opponents for your sake, and beloved for the patriarchs, 29 for the gifts and calling oF God are irrevocable [ametamelétos -  not regretted, without repentance, no change of mind]. 30 For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy - because Israel was disobedient. 31 Now they too have been disobedient.

     So you (from the nations) receive mercy, and they receive mercy. 32 For GOD has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all.

     33 Oh, the depth of the riches! And the wisdom! And the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his ways. And how unfathomable his judgments! {Just hoW do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact?}

     34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Who could ever be his advisor?” 35 “Or who has given a gift to him that could ever measure up to what he gives?” 36 For it’s from him, and through him, and to him, that all things are. To him be Glory forever. Amen.

11 - We have spoken openly to you, our heart has been open to you. 12 You’re not hampered by us, but by your own sentiments and attitudes. 13 As it is, I speak as to children - widen your hearts as we have ours.

     14 Don’t be unequally partnered with unbelievers. For what true unity does righteousness have with lawlessness? Or what friendship has light with darkness? 15 What accord has Christ with Belial [belial - lawlessness, wickedness; reputed to be a name of a demon]? Or what share or allotment does a believer share with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, as God has said, “I will make my dwelling among you and walk among you, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people [Lev.26:12, Ezek.37:27, Rev.21:3]. 17 Therefore go out from among them, and be separate from them, says the Lord.

Annual Daily Reading & Study

One Body One Faith

“..And to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; not `And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, `And to thy seed,' which is Christ ...There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
 ---
...That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel...to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.. ..Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
---
...For his body's sake, which is the church.. ..There is one body and one Spirit...  one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
---
...For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body... Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
---
Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready and there was given to her that she may be arrayed with fine linen, pure and shining, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.'

(Individually, we are Christ's brethren. But collectively, now betrothed or engaged to Him, later union at the marriage supper of the Lamb.)
---
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

And lo, I tell you a secret; we indeed shall not all sleep, and we all shall be changed; in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we, we shall be changed: for it behoveth this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality; and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the word that hath been written, `Death was swallowed up by victory; where, O Death, where is thy sting? where, O Hades, thy victory?' and the sting of death [is] sin ...thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ; so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.
