 • 1 Timothy 5:1-7  Matthew 24:7-14

            ☀️ 1 Timothy 5:1-7

1 - Don’t correct as though scolding, an older man, but encourage him as you would a father. And younger men as brothers, 2 older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with all purity.

     3 Honor widows who are truly widows. 4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them show godliness to their own household and make some return to their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God. 5 She who is truly a widow, left all alone, has set her expectation [elpis - expectation, trust, hope] upon God and continues in praise and prayers night and day. 6 But someone who is living wantonly is fading away even while living.

     7 Command these things as well, so they may be without reproach. {The believers Paul had left Timothy with to complete the building of them into a group faithfully, thus fruitfully in Christ}.

            🌙 Matthew 24:7-14

(Jesus continues, answering “what will be the sign of your coming and the consummation/completion/end of the age?”) [Verse 6 - “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be alarmed, for this has to happen. But the end is not yet.] 7 - For nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom.

     There will be famines and earthquakes in different places. 8 But all this is the beginning of birth pains.

     9 Then, they’ll deliver you up to tribulation [thlipsis - trouble, distress, affliction, persecution, from thlibō - to press, squeeze] and even put you to death. For you will be hated by all nations because of my name. 10 And then many will fall away [skandalizó] and turn against one another, and hate one another. 11 And many pseudo {misled} prophets will rise and mislead many. {Of all stripes?} 12 And as lawlessness increases, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved [sózó - saved, rescued, delivered, healed, preserved, from a primary word σώος (sóos) - safe, sound]. 14 And this GOOD news {huge understatement} of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations. And then the end/completion will come. [Telos - end, purpose, goal, completion, fulfillment.]

☀️ 11 - For we who live are always being given over to death in Jesus' name and cause so that the life of Jesus also may be seen in our mortal lives. 12 So death is at work in us {we have died to old ways and are being reborn} for life in you {as a witness, a testimony}.

     13 Since we have the same spirit of faith - according to what has been written - even as it says, “I believed, and so I spoke”. So also do we believe, and so we speak.

     14 We speak knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus, will raise us as well. And with Jesus, will bring us with you into his presence. {Who is Life.} 15 All for our sake, for as grace spreads to more and more people it will abound as a spirit of thankfulness, to the glory of God. 16 This, so we don’t lose heart, for as the {present} outward person is passing away, the inner person is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light and momentary affliction [thlipsis - tribulation, affliction, distress, persecution] is preparing for us an enduring fullness of glory beyond all comparison.

     18 So we look not to the things that are seen {and happening} but to the things that are not seen. For the things we now see, are passing away, but the things we are not {yet} seeing is what will endure.

     05/19 - GospeL Verses 

17 - So some of the twelve said to one another, “What does he mean, ‘In a little while, you won’t see me, then, in a little while, you will see me, because I’m going to the Father’? 18  And what does he mean by ‘a little while’?”

     19 Jesus knew they wanted to ask him, so he said, “Is this what you are asking among yourselves, what I mean by saying, ‘A little while and you won’t see me, and again, in a little while, you will see me’? 20 Very truly I tell you, you will weep, and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy. 21 When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour’s come, but when she has delivered the child, she no longer remembers the anguish for joy that a human being has come into the world. 22 So also you, you’ll have sorrow now, but I’ll see you again, and your hearts will rejoice. And no one will ever take your joy from you! 23 In that day you’ll ask nothing of me. Truly, I tell you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. 24 Until now you’ve asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you’ll receive, so your joy will be full.

     25 I’ve told you these things in parables and figurative speech. But the hour’s coming when I’ll no longer use figures of speech but will tell you openly and plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you’ll ask in my name, and I don’t say that I’ll ask the Father on your behalf, 27 for the Father himself loves you, and is happy that you have loved me, and have believed that I came from him. 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I’m leaving the world and going to the Father.”

     29 And the disciples said, “Now you’re talking plainly, and not in figurative speech. 30 We know you know all things and don’t need anyone to question you, and so we believe you came from God.” 31 Jesus answered, “Do you believe? 32 Behold, the hour’s coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own house, and will leave me alone. Yet I’m not alone, for the Father’s with me. 33 I have told you all this, so that in me, you will have peace. In the world you’ll have tribulation [thlipsis - pressures, afflictions, troubles, persecutions]. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

         Paraphrased by Necessity

[Jesus continues.] 19 - “For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of creation until now, and never will be. 20 And if the Lord had not cut short the days, no person would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days. 21 And then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘Look, there he is!’ don’t believe it. 22 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to mislead, if possible, the elect. 23 So be on guard, for I have told you beforehand.”

Today’s GospeL Verses ~ Mark 10:17-27

17 - And then as he was setting out, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit the enduring life?” [Aiónios - ages long (life).] (There’s not really a word for ‘forever’ in the Greek.. or the Old Testament Hebrew. But logically, true Life, being God himself, is enduring life.)

     18 And Jesus said, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 19 You know the commandments.  ‘Don’t murder, don’t commit adultery, don’t steal, don’t bear false witness, don’t defraud. And honor your father and mother.’” (And wouldn’t you know it, there were Pharisee laws on the books that allowed you to put money in trusts instead of benefitting your elderly parents.) 20 And the man said to him, “Teacher! All these I have kept from my youth.” 21 And Jesus, looking at him, felt affection for him, and said, “You lack one thing, go and sell all you have and give it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.” 22 Saddened, the man went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions!

23 And Jesus told his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” 24 And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how difficult it is to enter the kingdom of God! 25 Easier it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a wealthy person to enter the kingdom of God.” 26 And they were surprised. “Then who” they said, “can be saved?” 27 Jesus said, “With men it’s impossible, but not with God, for with God all is possible.”

                ~ James 1:23-27 ~

23 - If anyone is a hearer of the word, but not a doer, they are like someone who looks intently at theirself in a mirror, 24 and then go away and forget what they look like! 25 But those who look into the perfect law - the Law of Liberty - and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who does (who “follows”) they will be blessed!

     26 If anyone thinks they are religious but cannot bridle their tongue, they deceive theirself and their religion is useless [mataios - vain, aimless, without purpose, not useful]. 27 Religion that is pure and uncontaminated before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction [thlipsis - tribulation, pressure, distress] and to keep oneself free from the vices of the world.

 Gospel Verses 📚⭐️ 

    Matthew 24:15-22

15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel - let the reader understand. [Another version - “The day is coming when you will see what Daniel the prophet spoke about—the sacrilegious object that causes desecration standing in the Holy Place.” (Reader, pay attention!)] [Daniel 12:11-12, a good math riddle?] 16 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop (deck) go down to take anything out of the house. 18 A person out in the field must not return even to get a coat. 19 How terrible it will be for pregnant women and for nursing mothers in those days. 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For at that time there will be great tribulation (trouble) unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again. 22 In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened, not a single person will survive. But it will be shortened for the sake of God’s chosen ones. (Chosen to have their understanding opened during this lifetime, Jn.6:44 - “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up on the last day.” (Of this system of things.)

   The First Letter to Timothy

        ~ 1 Timothy 5:8-15 ~

8 Anyone who won’t care for their relatives, especially those in their own household, deny the faith and may as well be an unbeliever. 9 For a widow to be put on the list of widows, she must be at least sixty years of age, and been faithful in marriage, 10 with a reputation for a good life, namely, that she has raised children, practiced hospitality and helpfulness, having helped those in distress, involved herself in good works. 11 Don't put young widows on the list. They may later have a strong desire to get married, and may even turn away from Christ . 12 Then they would be guilty of breaking their previous pledge. 13  Or they may learn to be idle and spending time in gossip, from house to house meddling in things they shouldn’t. 14 So I counsel younger widows to marry, to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity to slander them. 15 For already some have turned aside after Satan.

But There Is A Counting Backwards II

"Tribulation Ten Days"

"..ye shall have tribulation ten days.." - Revelation 2:10 - Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
from Matthew 24:29-31 - King James Version (KJV)
 . . . . . . "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.. ..they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory, and, He shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."

All Things Reconciled

It's gotten lodged in my head that as the spring feasts, Passover, Unleavened Bread and Firstfruits, were fulfilled by Jesus at His first advent ("...that we may be unleavened.. for Christ our Passover has been sacrificed" 1 Cor 5:7, and "Christ the Firstfruits" 1 Cor 15:23) ..then surely the Autumn Feasts prophecy, and will be fulfilled by the second advent!?
     Leviticus 23, of course, lists the Feasts of God beginning with Israel's weekly Sabbath. Hebrews 4:3 & 9 says "...enter that rest ..a rest for the people of God" which of course is Jesus, thus even the weekly Holy Day/Sabbath is fulfilled by Jesus (Heb 3:18-4:10).
     I like how Young's Literal Translation puts the whole thing (God saith) in Leviticus 23:2 "these are My appointed seasons".
With the Fall Festivals being of the month (tishri / sept-oct) -
  ..Day 1 - "Trumpets"; Day 10 - the "Day of Atonement"; and Day 15 - the Feast of "Tabernacles", I'm thinking the peaks of what is prophesied as the second advent of Jesus, correlate.. Going something like this:
  ..Year 1 - Christ's return and the first resurrection ..."immediately after the tribulation of those days... with a great sound of a trumpet... will gather His elect from the four winds under heaven.."
  ..Year 1000 - occurs the second resurrection and the "Day of Judgment" [Because of the numbers, 1st, 10th & 15th, and because we know the millennial rule of Christ is prophesied to last 1000 years, I'm thinking the numbers have meaning (correlate) with days being years, and adding two zeroes to each, the 10th and the 15th; day 1 becoming year 1; day 10 becomes year 1000; and day 15,year 1500; making Judgment Day to last 500 years.]
 -The Day of 'Judgment' ends with, or is followed by the notorious words "those not written in the book of life" (those not believing) "will go to the" (cleansing ageduring) "lake of fire".
..But! after all have experienced [#1] being resurrected from the sleep of death (1 thes 4) and [#2] witnessing and living through an 'age' of the review and examination of all things (all human history,etc), who's not going to "believe"? I would think not many. There's really only one verse, I know of, which can possibly be used to suggest one MUST believe before their death, which is when Jesus told the pharisees unless they repent they would "die in their sins" but I think all this means is the first resurrection where immortality "is put on" far surpasses the second resurrection (for a time).
-All this, to my way of seeing it, turns the Day of Judgment to a GreaT Day of Atonement, at-one-ment / Reconciliation, but also being a day of repentance and weeping as became practiced by Israel.
  ..Year 1500 - a new heaven and a new earth.. the new Jerusalem comes down.. "behold the Tabernacle of God is among men and He will dwell among them". God the Father will "Tabernacle" with man upon perfect earth in a perfect universe... An un-breakable perfection because the full knowing of good from evil (life from death) will be deeply etched upon every heart and mind/psyche. Surely God can only be perfect, therefor the 'end' result of all this can only be the best one possible!

A "Surprise!?"

If it is so widely accepted that Jesus fulfilled the Hebrew Spring Holy Days by His death (Passover), burial (Unleavened Bread), resurrection and ascension (Firstfruits/Single Wheat Sheaf waved) - all which is commonly known as fulfilled by His First Advent, then why not connect the dots concerning the Hebrew Autumn Holy Days as prophecy pertaining to, and being fulfilled by, His long Second Advent? ...the Fall Holy Days, beginning with "Trumpets" [fulfilled by the Revelation trumps 1-7 & Mt 24, verses 48 through 51 - "immediately after the tribulation of those days.. He will send out His angels with the mighty sound of a trumpet.."] and ending with the Feast of "Tabernacles" [fulfilled by Revelation 21,verses 1 through 3 - "..a new heavens and new earth.. and new Jerusalem come down to earth.. the Tabernacle of God is with man and He will dwell with them.." (i.e., God the Father, Himself, will live with man upon perfect earth and in perfect universe)].
 - Why can it not be seen, the Holy Day in the middle of these two, the "Day of Atonement" and what peak of the Second Advent might "Day of Atonement" correlate to? Being between His return (Trumpets) and the Father coming to "Tabernacle" (tent) with mankind?
 - And for anyone who loves a quiz, how might Rev 20:15 (in context 11-15) fit in (more precisely, where, might it fit in)? And what exactly is verse 15th's requirement?
