8Th ‘Day’ Study, verses R paraphrased [ref] {thots}

1John 1:5-10  Mark 5:1-20

            ☀️ A.M. 1John 1:5-10

5 - This is the message we’ve heard from him and that we proclaim to you - that God is light, and in him is no darkness. No darkness at all.

     6 If we say we have friendship with him while we walk in darkness, we’re deceiving our self and others, and not living the truth. 7 But if we walk in the Light, as he’s in the Light, we have friendship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us {releases} [katharizó - root of catharsis] from all sin [hamartia - missing the mark].

     8 If we say we have no sin {imperfection, falling short, having made mistakes, bad choices, etc} we deceive ourselves, and the truth isn’t in us. 9 If we confess our sins {agree we’re imperfect/miss the mark of perfection} he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us [katharizó] from all unrighteousness {all un-rightness! Which is entropy that “doesn’t quit”. So this is a rescue.}. 10 If we say we’ve never fallen short, we make him a liar, and his word {message, truth, logos-logic, reasoning} isn’t in us.

            🌙 P.M. MARK 5:1-20

1 - When they came to the other side of the sea of Galilee, to the country of the Gerasenes, 2 Jesus stepped out of the boat, and immediately, a man came out from among the tombs and met him. 3 He had an unclean spirit and lived there among the tombs. No one could keep him bound, not even with a chain. 4 For he had often been shackled and chained, but he broke the chains apart, and tore the shackles in pieces. There was no one strong enough to subdue him. 5 And night and day he wandered among the tombs and among the hills, crying out and cutting himself with stones.

     6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell down before him. 7 And crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me?! Jesus, Son of the Most High God! I beg you by God, don’t torment me!” 8 For Jesus was saying to him, “Come out of the man! You unclean spirit!” 9 And he asked him, “What is your name?” And he replied, “My name is Legion! For we are many!” 10 Then he begged him not to send them out of the country. 11 On the nearby hillside, a large herd of pigs was feeding, 12 and they begged him, “Send us to the pigs, and let us enter them.”

     13 So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came rushing out and entered the pigs, and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned.

     14 The herdsmen ran and told what had happened to the people in the city and the surrounding countryside. And people came to see. 15 And when they came to Jesus and saw the demon possessed man who had had the legion, sitting there, clothed, and in his right mind, they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen it repeated to them what had occurred to the man and to the pigs.

     17 Then because they were afraid, the people asked Jesus to go away and leave the region. 18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons asked him if he might go with him. 19 But Jesus said, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you. And how he has had kindness upon you.” 20 And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis, the “land of the ten cities” how much Jesus had done for him. And they all marveled.

     [Mark wrote unclean spirit - “pneuma akathartos“  pneuma - wind, spirit, and akathartos, which is “a” without kathartos, root of catharsis - in verses 3 and 8. But demon possessed - “daimonizomai” in vs.18.

     Luke called the man demon possessed - “echó daimonion” Lk.8:27. And having many demons/daimonion, vs.30.] {From Rev.12:3,4,9 - “..a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems. His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven (“the stars are angels” Rev.1:20) and cast them to the earth ..the great dragon.. that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world“.

     Rev.13:1, the beast with seven heads and ten horns is his world empires used against the faith “five are fallen, one is (Roman Empire at the time) and one is to come” (after Western Civilization having blocked it is fully overcome) “but it will only remain for a little while - Dan.7:27 and 12:11-12 with Lk.19:41,44 and 1Cor.3:16. A math riddle.

   Revelation chapter 12 is the 2nd of 3 tellings of the revelation vision. Vs.17 with Mt.23:39. Posting a Rev.12 study soon. These are my own studies.}

🗝️s New Testament & Bible prophecy study, verses paraphrased [ ] references { } thots

 • Romans 11:7-11  John 6:14-21

           ☀️ Romans 11:7-11

7 - What then? Israel failed to achieve what it was seeking. A chosen few obtained it, but the rest were hardened [póroó - hardened, made callous, rendered insensitive] 8 as it’s written, “God gave [didómi - gave, granted] them a spirit of stupor, eyes not seeing and ears not hearing, down to this very day.” 9 And David said, “Let be, their table for a snare and a trap, for a stumbling block and a retribution. 10 Let their eyes be darkened so they do not see, their backs be bent.” {With heavy burden, servitude.. their table, cause and effect. Israel as microcosm, world as macro. But God takes responsibility. And so Father and Son - who said, “Let us make mankind in our image” able to think and reason - they suffer most of all. Surely, no option to stray in Eden, would’ve been a mere ant farm. We have merely scraped the surface of the glories of God’s wonderful creation! See Isaiah 11:7 just to start, and to say nothing of a huge beautiful and glorious family ..of all, Greek word pas - all, every, the whole, usually translated “all things”. God being Life itself, lives through everything, so suffers all atrocities. He also “is perfect” so to stray in thought, word or deed in any tiny way, is to become imperfect. Opposite to Life. It’s also an abyss of potential don’t you think? Already proven.. Makes sense of the Revelation chapter nine abyss.. natural sense ..which is what everything is. God’s voice is Logic. Root word Logos. I hope I don’t do anything or not do anything to miss that door to serving called reigning during long second advent. Surely(?!) a full scope version of His first so brief one. My one RuLe, Love God. Hope I’m not kidding myself in any way. He once told me when you think you’ve submitted, given and surrendered down to the very floor of your being.. that’s when to start pulling up floorboards. Metaphor of course. Be a “whole burnt offering “ on his altar! Burnt by a slow gehenna that’s “not put out” - entropy/imperfection. This one and done unavoidable, all important contrast. The dis-ease as part of the cure. And immunity.. T.H.I total herd immunity. How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd keep paradise/perfection intact? Original point being GOD “hardens whom he will”. It says plainly God blinded Israel, microcosm, type, shadow cast of the whole, and has blinded mankind, all humanity, every one of us, macrocosm. Satan despises Israel. And Christianity. And any civilization but run by him, especially Western. Built on the iron and bronze of Daniel 2 and 7:7,19 (Roman and Greek). And also of course upon more or less a Christian aNd Judeo-Christian foundation. In large part “fallen away” now because our, the world’s “false prophet” has “seated man(kind) in the temple as god”/highest power.. A “strong delusion”. This prophet also enabled Rev.13:13.. And has other “miracles to mislead” up its sleeve. There’s a subtle key to 13:13, yes?}

     11 So I (Paul) ask! Did they (Israel) stumble in order to perish [piptó - fall, fail, degrade, perish]? Certainly noT! Rather, through their trespass salvation/rescue has come to the nations!

           🌙 John 6:14-21

14 - When the people saw the miracle that Jesus had done, they said to one another, “This must be the Prophet who’s to come into the world!”

     15 Jesus saw they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, so he went away to the mountain alone. 16 And when it was evening, his disciples went down to the sea 17 and got into a boat. They started back across to Capernaum, as it was now dark, and Jesus hadn’t come back yet.

     18 The lake became rough because a strong wind was blowing. 19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw a strange thing and were affrighted. But it was Jesus walking on the water toward them. 20 He called out, “It’s me! Don’t be afraid!” 21 Then they were happy and took him on board, and immediately the boat came to land at Capernaum, to where they had been going.

The Mind Of Man

These days the mind of man is thought to be above the mind of God of the Bible. This results in the idea that the Bible should be "added to or taken from".

It all began with man's theory of evolution as to the origins of life. There is "natural selection" but only of what ability for adaptation is present in the DNA code. Man's theory is not only not proven and not observed, but is also outdated - by our looking into the basic cell, by the discovery of the DNA code in all living things, and by a lack of so many zillions of "missing links"/transitional life forms (if all life evolved from one). Yes there is adaptation, but only if the ability is present in the DNA. It is not true that those who believe in "Intelligent Design" of the universe and life, do not believe in "Natural Selection"!

This false teaching (teacher, prophet) of the origins of life, has turned Western Civilization on its ear. It's a strong delusion which changed Christendom and prepared the way for where the world has gone and is going.
