         ☀️ A.M. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-14

1 - Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers and sisters, you have no need to have anything written to you. 2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the LORD will come like a thief in the night. {🤔Sneakily! No one knows when “but the Father”.} 3 While they are saying, “Peace [eiréné - peace, from a primary verb eiro - to join; properly, wholeness, i.e. when all essential parts are joined together] and security” [asphaleia - security, safety, exact truth, certainty] then suddenly comes upon them destruction, like labor pains come upon a woman with child, and they’ll not escape.

    4 But you are not in darkness, that the day should surprise you. 5 For you’re children of the day, and of light. We are not of the night, nor of the darkness.

     6 So then let us not be as though asleep, as others, but let us stay awake, and sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep during the night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the covering and protecting breastplate of faith and love. And for a helmet the hope [elpis - expectation!] of {full and complete} salvation. 9 For God has not destined us for wrath. {Dust to dust/imperfection-entropy/full gone and, or the fiery judgments/gehenna which are earthLy. There are three mentions of a lake of fire, all at huge fiery events, #1-armageddon, Mt.13:30/Is.24:20-Rev.10:4; #2-at the fiery final defeat of the adversary/accelerator/first gone rogue one&Co. Rev.20:7-10; and #3-at the fiery “palin/again-genesis”/regeneration/re-”genesis” of Rev.21:1-5, “behold! I make aLL new!”}.

     {Instead of destined for the role of wrath in this contrast and “all the world’s a stage” age..} We are destined to obtain salvation [sótéria - welfare, prosperity, deliverance, preservation, salvation, safety] {life!} through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 Who died for us so that we will live with him, whether we may wait and watch or sleep {in death awaiting}. 11 Therefore encourage one another! And build one another up.! Just as you’re doing.

     12 We ask you, brothers and sisters, to appreciate those who labor among you, teaching and counseling as leaders and examples in the Lord. {Discipling!} 13 And so esteem them very highly in love because of their work. And be at peace among yourselves. 14 And we urge you to admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak. And be patient with all.

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 14:7-14

7 - Jesus told a parable to those who were invited to the dinner (at a Pharisee’s house). When he noticed how many had chosen seats of honor he said, 8 “If you’re invited by someone to a wedding banquet, don’t go and sit in one of the seats of honor, 9 lest you be embarrassed if you’re asked to sit somewhere else.

     10 When you’re invited, sit in a lower, more humble seat. Then when the host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, come sit in this better seat.’ Then you’ll be honored in the presence of everyone sitting at table with you. 11 For everyone who exalts themself will be humbled, and they who humble themselves will be lifted up.”

     12 Then he said to the man who had invited him, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, don’t just invite your friends or your siblings and relatives and wealthy neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and so you are repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,14 and you’ll be blessed. Because they can’t repay you. And then you’ll be rewarded at the resurrection of the just.”

         Luke 12:41-48

41 Peter asked, "Lord, is this parable for us? Or is it for all?” (‘Be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him, like a thief comes unexpectedly during the night’. He doesn’t directly answer the question? But continues upon the parable.) 42 And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time?” (Jn.21:17 - “Lovest thou Me? Feed my sheep.”)

     43 “It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly the master will put that servant in charge of all he possesses. (To do His works [during “the” millennium, and during “the judgment”] is to reign? “Crown of LiFe”.) 45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect. And at an hour he does not know, and he will be separated from the faithful servants, and assigned a portion with the unbelievers.” (“The” door of the ten bridesmaid’s parable, is noT a forever door to life, Mt.25:1-13. But it iS the door to “the” millennium, which once the moment of entering is over, the door to it is irreversibly shut.😳) 47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.” (Now think this through.. as to what is more effective. If you or I miss the millennium, so we beat ourselves up over it, or if God whips us? Which is actually the more effective, and will produce the fruit of genuine regret/repentance?) 48 “But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required/expected, and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.”

  ~ 1 Thessalonians 1:8-2:7 ~

8 And now the word of the Lord is ringing out from you to people everywhere, even beyond Macedonia and Achaia, for wherever we go we find people telling us about your faith in God. We don’t need to tell them about it, 9 for the talk is all about the wonderful welcome you gave us and how you turned away from idols to serve the living and true God. 10 And how you are awaiting his Son Jesus to come from the heavens, whom God rose out from death, delivering us from the wrath to come. 2:1 - For you yourselves know, brothers and sisters, that our coming to you was not in vain. 2 You know how badly we had been treated at Philippi just before we came to you and how much we suffered there. Yet our God gave us the courage to declare his Good News to you boldly, in spite of great opposition and much conflict. 3 We didn't have any hidden motives when we won you over, and we didn't try to fool or trick anyone. 4 For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts. 5 For we never came with words of flattery, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—God is our witness. 6 And as for human praise, we don’t seek it from you or from anyone else. 7 Instead, we were like young children among you. Or like a nursing mother caring for her children. (God doesn’t do the flogging?)
