 • 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.]

10-21 - MARK 13 1-8

scriptures paraphrased to post 

  🕊️a reading & study 🕊️

1 - As he was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said, “Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones - and - what wonderful buildings!” 2 And Jesus said, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left, here - not even one - stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” {69/70 CE razing of Jerusalem, and? Daniel 12:11 mid 7 year treaty, then next verse, Dn.12:12 as trib duration? With the last “ten days” (Rev.2:10) escalating to most perilous?}

     3 A little later, as he was across the Kidron Valley from the temple, on the Mount of Olives (an olive tree grove) Peter, Andrew, James, and John asked him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will that happen? And what will be the sign, when it’s about to happen?” 5 And Jesus told them, “See to it that no one leads you astray. 6 For many will come in my name saying I’m he and will lead many astray.” {A first line of attack against Christianity’s progress and well being, is translation errors of some words in the scripture, then bam! second line of attack, distrust of the scriptures, including our New Testament/Testimony. The world of course rejects the scripture, and slanders it. The Old Testament is trustworthy and good also. I think before the flood there was even cannibaalism (as I’ve come to think concerning the flood.). And the Canaanites, God also wanted out of the world, now they rest, awaiting resurrection during GWT judgment ‘day’ also called “aionion kolasin”/eonian korrection/age of correction. We know the Canaanites burned children alive to Baal, while beating drums to drown out the screams. These were during formative times. Self destruct inevitable? But SO early on? God also gets grief for noT stopping great evils. If Israel had not been warriors, surely they would have been chewed up and spit out? So much for being swaddling cloths for Messiah/Savior of the world? Had there been no option to stray in Eden, creation would be an ant farm. Trust God. Trust the Scriptures. I think translators coukdn’t fully believe, that’s how Good the message is. So aionion kolasin became neverending punishment/torment😳. Five words became hell. “All” became “all things” whenever it would work. In Rev.21:5, Eph.1:10.. and more. But not in “all scripture for training” because it won’t work. Or in 1Cor.15:28 “so that God will be all in all” - Greek word “pas” - “every, all, the whole”. )

     7 And when you hear of wars [polemos - wars, battles, conflicts {riots, etc?} quarrels, from pelomai - to bustle {poles?/division?}] and rumors of wars, don’t be disturbed. It must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation. And kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are but the beginning of birth pangs. {For birthing the Lord’s long second advent.. And then the full kingdom of God.}
