☀️ [Paul is answering questions the Corinthian believers had sent in a letter. He responded “the time is short, so..” and indeed 70 CE was right around the corner.] 32 -  I (Paul) want you to be free from worries. The unmarried person is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. 33 But the married person is worried about worldly things, how to please their spouse. 34 So their interests are divided. 35 I say this for your benefit, not to lay any hardship upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord. {In those last days (of the age).}

     36 If anyone thinks they’re not behaving properly toward their intended, or if passion is strong, let them do as they wish. If they marry, it’s no sin! 37 But whoever is firmly established in their heart, and have their desire under control, and do not marry, also do well. 38 So then they who marry do well, and they who refrain from marriage, in my opinion, do even better.

     39 (Answer to another question.) A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to remarry, but only to another in the Lord. 40 Yet in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I too have the Spirit of God on this.

🌙 17 - And when it was evening, he went in with the twelve. 18 And as they were at table, eating, Jesus said, “One of you is going to betray me. One who eats with me.” 19 They began to be sorrowful and to say one after another, “Is it I?” 20 So he said, “It’s one of you twelve, the one who is dipping bread into the dish with me.

     21 For the Son of Man goes as it’s written of him, but woe to the one who betrays him. {Sympathy for Judas.} It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” {Prophesying how Judas’ life will end.}

     22 Then he took up a loaf of bread, said a blessing, then broke it and passed it out to them, saying “Take and eat. This is my body.”

     23 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he passed it to them, and they all drank. 24 And he said, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many” [polýs - many, high in number, multitudinous, plenteous, much, great in amount (extent), frequently used in contexts that highlight the vastness of God's kingdom, the multitude of believers, or the extensive reach of Jesus]. 25 “Truly, I tell you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine, until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” [Matthew’s recollection, 26:29 - “I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new with you in my Father’s Kingdom.” Mt.25:1-13, 1Cor.15:23; Mt.13:30 is Rev.16:13,14(15)16]

BOOK OF REVELATION

[2Thessalonians 1:8,7 - “…when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels 8 in a fire of flame, inflicting [didómi - to give - in various senses lit. or fig. includes allowing, yielding, granting, pouring — permitting] vengeance [ekdikésis - vindication, defense, avenging, pay back “full” and “complete”] on those who do not know God and who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. {Complete cause and effect; the culmination of history. Conclusion and end of the story, Mt.13:30 - “Let both” - the wheat and the tares, psuedo wheat, which we all were - “grow together until the harvest, and at the harvest I will tell the reapers, ‘Gather the weeds - first, and bind them in - bundles - to be burned’ {weeds are cast into a bonfire, not an eternal ‘hell’ Rev.16:14-15-16} ‘and then, gather the wheat into my barn.” [Cross regerence - Rev.16:14,16–“..demons performing signs ..to the kings of earth gathering them for battle.. and assembled them at Armageddon” at Gehenna Valley.]

     Rev.11:15 - And then the seventh angel blew his trumpet. And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world is now the kingdom of our LORD, and of his Christ. And he shall reign forever and ever.”

     16 And the twenty-four elders who were sitting on thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying, “We give thanks to you! LORD God Almighty! Who is and who was, for you’ve taken your great power and have begun to reign. 18 The nations raged” (Ps.2 and 2nd horseman of the apocalypse/2nd seal/element of the age) “but your wrath came.” [Wrath - orgé - wrath, vengeance, from orgáō, "to teem, swelling up to oppose, a fixed, controlled, passionate feeling against, a settled indignation.] {His wrath is cause and effect? “His” because it is HE who created a cause and effect universe. Consequences, life as we presently know it, this all important contrast and gehenna crucible, that flares up into judgments, results — versus creation as an ant farm?}

     “And the time [kairos - time, season] came for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and to destroy [diaphtheiró - from dia - intensive, through and through, and diaphthorá - thorough decay] those destroying earth.” (Imo, spiritually destroying.) 19 Then God's temple in heaven was opened {I always think split, the word anoigó, does include broken, open}. And the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and great hail.

      (Isaiah 24:20) - the higher and faster moisture rises, the larger and greater the hail. And surely(?) it’s thermonuclear lightning.. rumbling and thunder.. “seven thunders”? Counting the first occurrence which was Rev. 13:13 in the third telling of the vision - but the occurrence pinpointed an office, not yet an individual. Which was also the first seal six occurrence, but it’s veiled by the seals being described at the beginning of the vision, as their full and entire effects, first to very last. This also veils much of the entire vision. Kudos to any understanding any of us has had! — Next week we begin the second telling of the vision, which is Revelation chapter 12. All three end, and rejoin, at the 7th trumpet’s sounding.. “The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our LORD and of his Christ.”

🌙 {By interview? Luke was a Greek doctor, not a disciple. It was Paul Luke met later.} 7 - Then came the days of unleavened (bread) when it was time for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed. {This is an important and crucial lesson - expressed as in a drama. The sacrifice hAd to be. Is it possible that anything less dramatic would not reach “aLL” - could not appease every conscience, including of the most cruel despots, etc.} [The days: Passover, a “preparation” day, for the meal on First Day of Unleavened Bread, which is the next day (but the days of course begin at sunset instead of midnight).]

     8 So Jesus sent Peter and John ahead saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it.” {I think it was common for some to eat the meal on Passover?} 9 They said to him, “Where will you have us prepare it?” 10 He said, “When you have entered the city, a man carrying a clay jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house he goes into, 11 and tell the master of the house, ‘The teacher asks, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 And he’ll show you a large upper room that’s furnished. Prepare there.” 13 And they went and found it just as he had said, and they prepared the Passover.

     14 And later at the time to recline, the apostles were with him. 15 And he said, “I have wanted to eat this Passover with you, before my suffering. 16 For I tell you I will not any longer eat of it until it’s fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

☀️ (Practical matters, continued) 8 - To the unmarried and widows I think it’s good for them to remain single, as I (Paul) am. 9 But if they haven’t self-control, they should marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.

     10 To the married I give this charge, not I, but the Lord, the wife shouldn’t separate from her husband 11 but if she does, she should remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband, and the husband should not divorce his wife.

     12 To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to remain with him, he should not divorce her. 13 If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he’s happy to remain with her, she should not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband will be influenced by his wife, and the unbelieving wife will be influenced by her husband. Otherwise your children would be unduly influenced, but as it is, they will be influenced by you. 15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not bound. God has called you to peace. 16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will deliver to Jesus your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will deliver to Jesus your wife?

     17 Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to them, and to which God has called them, a good rule in all the churches. 18 Was anyone at the time of his call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the circumcision. Was anyone at the time of his call uncircumcised? Let him not seek to be circumcised. 19 For neither (the physical) circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the instructions of God.

     {Note: circumcision was on “the 8th day”. It represents the spiritual circumcision of the heart ..no longer self as first and foremost, etc - The collective circumcision of mankind (and angelkind) will be completed during the 8th millennium of this creation - see if I’m wrong -> Rev.20. But the chapter is like describing the crests of waves and not much of the in between. ..It was a biG bang into the universe as is, then, was set in motion with two outlines running - the week plus one. And within that outline (wheel within a wheel) the ancient holy days of Leviticus 23 as representing Jesus’ two advents.}

     20 Each one should remain in the condition in which they were called. 21 Were you a bondservant when called? Don’t be concerned about it. But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity. [It was a money or land lending system.] 22 For the one who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is free in the Lord! Likewise the one who was free when called is a bondservant of Christ. 23 You were bought with a price. It’s better not to become bondservants of men.

     12 And it was the first day of Unleavened Bread,  when they sacrificed the Passover lamb [referring to the whole week of Spring holy days, which was called interchangeably, as were the days - Passover and 1st Day of Unleavened Bread, the actual feast/meal day - remember the days began (begin?) at sunset rather than at midnight. The Passover lamb is sacrificed on Passover, and later, in the dark, after sunset, 1st Day of Unleavened Bread having begun, the meal was eaten, as in the original first Passover in Egypt.] His disciples asked him, “Where should we go to prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 13 So he sent two of the disciples on ahead, saying to them, “Go into the city, where you’ll see a man carrying a jar of water. Follow him, 14 and wherever he goes, say to the master of that house, ‘The Teacher says, where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 And he will show you a large upper room which is furnished and ready, there make ready for us.” 16 And the disciples set out and went to the city and found it just as he had told them, and they made ready (for) the Passover.

☀️ 1 - Now about the questions about which you wrote to me: “I (Paul) think it’s good for a man to remain single, rather than to marry.” 2 But in the world there is the temptation to immorality. [Porneia - fornication (sexual relations between people who are not married to each other - The Amer. Heritage Dictionary). From pernaō - to sell off, properly, a selling off (surrendering) of sexual purity.] {Rightness, health.} So each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Likewise the wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. 5 Don’t deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer, but then come together again, so Satan may not tempt you to a lack of self control, and you fall prey to unfaithfulness.

     6 Now this is only advice, but I will say, 7 I wish all were as I am. But all have their own blessing from God, some of one kind and others of another kind.

14 - God raised Jesus. And he will also raise us up by his (same) power. 15 We are all the parts of the {spiritual, very real} body of Christ! Should I then take a body part of Christ and make it members of a prostitute? Never! {Corinthians was a big city which beliefs and practices included temple prostitutes. Go figure. Lol.} 16 Or don’t you know that anyone joined to a prostitute has become one with her? {To Father Creator, no throwaway lovemaking, but soul mate.. children.. grandma and grandpa, uncles, aunts, cousins.. tribe.. humanity with its beautifuL branches.. How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact?}

     For you see, it’s written, “The two become one.” 17 And to be joined to the Lord is to be one in spirit with him.

     18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside of the body. But the sexually immoral person sins against {abuses} their own body. 19 Don’t you know your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, whom you have from God? {God’s Spirit/Presence.

🌙 37 - Though Jesus had done so many signs and miracles, they still didn’t believe in him. 38 And so the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled - “LORD, who has believed your message? And to who, has been revealed, the arm {intent} of the LORD?” 39 Therefore, they couldn’t believe. {Because it wasn’t revealed to them!?} For again Isaiah said, 40 “He has blinded their eyes, and he has hardened their heart. Lest they see with their eyes, and lest they understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.”

     {One for all, all for one, and one and done - aLL strayed, aLL called, justified, purified, BUT — 1Cor.15:22-24,28 with Mt.13:33, 🗝️->key word 3 “the kingdom is like three batches of meal a woman works leaven into until all is leavened” in this case the leaven of total newness, three harvests — 1Cor.15:23,  “EACH IN THEIR OWN ORDER (#1)Christ the First(fruits”) first kernel of grain that is broken and implanted in each one after him, the barley harvest “then (#2)those that are his at his coming” the wheat harvest. “THEN comes the end”(#3!). [Tel - the “end-aim”.] “After the Son has subdued all” - which translators changed the word “all” to “all things” whenever they could. They just couldn’t believe? Such a totally glorious message. After all is said and done, and “all are subdued, including powers and principalities” — for “the Father has put aLL in the Son’s hands” - “then the Son will hand aLL over to the Father and will also submit himself to the Father” 1Cor.15:25,26.

     So the Son hands over the kingdom having submitted all to the Father which is #3 - the overflowing grape harvest, “that God may be all in all” These verses have been 1Cor.15:22-28 wiTh the ‘key’ Mt.13:33, key word 3.

     For it’s “BEHOLD! I make aLL new!” Greek word “pas” - “every, all, the whole”. And then - (Rev.21:1-5) “God will Tabernacle with mankind ..a new heavens and earth”.. and the second vivification. Vivification is the “putting oN of immortality and incorruptibility”/Perfection.. God’s “jewels” Mal.3:17.} The second vivification at the fieRy [2Pet.3:12-13] “palin/again-genesis” is the death of death - the verses 1COR.15:25-26 and Rev.21:1-5.

     41 Isaiah said these things because he saw the Son’s glory and spoke about it. {It was revealed to him.} 42 Nevertheless! Even many of the authorities believed in Jesus, but for fear of the Pharisees they didn’t say so, because they didn’t want to be put out of the synagogue/{and ‘accepted’ society, the establishment and political power} 43 for they cared more for acceptance and glory that comes from man {and each one’s generation} more than acceptance and {the exceeding great} glory revealed from God. {Because it hasn’t (yet) been revealed. ‘Importance’ world’s acceptance and ‘glory’ totally fades once the True glory is “revealed/made known”.  God is 100% unfettered Genius, could see all possibilities before speaking any act of creation. The ‘end’ result can onLy be the best one possible, and of course he has done, and does, all things as he has in order to bring about that best “end-aim”.}

Father and Son are so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence. The Holy Ghost which will saturate and “seal” the world and humanity. It’s not a case of what God hAs created, but what he is creating.}

     46 “I have come into the world as Light and whoever believes in Me will not be in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and doesn’t keep them {doesn’t believe them} I don’t judge them. For I didn’t come to judge the world, but to save it. 48 The one who rejects me and doesn’t receive my words has a judge, the words I’ve spoken will judge them in [en - in, on, at, by, with, among {during!} the last (“8th”) ‘day’.” {“My words will not be futile” Is.55:11.}

☀️ 9 - You do realize unrighteousness and injustice cannot be inheriting the kingdom of God? Don’t be misled, anyone being sexually immoral, or an idolater, adulterer, practicing homosexual, 10 nor thieves, greedy, nor drunkards, nor agitators, or swindlers are (yet) inheriting (by no means) the kingdom of God! {It’s just not possible, same for backbiters, argumentative, slandering God, polluting God’s human temples with bad doctrine/unTruth. But God LOVES “all”. ..It’s possible He could be a bit angry and indignant at cruel and heartless despots.. child traffickers, what so many just don’t get - either the Greek or the Old Testament Hebrew word for anger means “smoke out the nostril”😮 - until theY judge theirself.. Can we imagine, eventually, during GWT judgment ‘day’ [aion] the gut wrenching remorse? ..The beating theirself up “with many stripes” for the many lives (and psyches) they brought much suffering to. A child trafficker for the basest carnal purposes!! Of course that’s progress after the initial, inner, outside of the Light darkness.. the gnashing of teeth ..Surely there will be closure for victims.. And closure for all things “on that day”! And finally, even the worst of the worst realize Christ Crucified! Their weeping can end, their guilty conscience appeased, and at rest. {Um, more weeping, I’m sure but not the gnashing of teeth weeping, but the cleansing of the heart weeping, which will let in fresh streams of life and rays of light. We’re all going to enter the household/family of God. He “is Perfect” how could we ever doubt? We can trust him, and take the upper road of his instructions.}

     11 And such (continues Paul) were some of us! But we were washed [apoloúō - from apó - away from, and loúō - wash, so wash away, this strengthened form of loúō (to wash) refers to an entire washing]. You were sanctified [hagiazó - to make holy, consecrate, sanctify]. You were justified [dikaioó - to show to be righteous, declare righteous {maKe righteous by his Spirit/Presence. HE does it}]. All in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and BY the Spirit of our God.

     12 As they say, “all things are lawful for me” but not all things are helpful! All things are lawful for me {like wine.. “God made wine to make merry the heart of man” Ps.103, but “strong drink bites like a serpent” Prov.23:32, or meat eating as it affected fellow believers, Ro.14}.

     But I (Paul) will not be dominated by anything! 13 “Food is meant for the belly and the belly for food”. And God will do away with? dial back? both. {A reference to entropy? The entropic nature of both food and belly? As there’s fruit on the Revelation 21 “new earth”. And Isaiah 11:7 mentions “the lion will eat straw like the ox, and the bear will graze with the cow”.}

     The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the LORD, and the LORD for the body. {Like food for the belly! And the belly for food! 1Cor.3:16, Dn.12:12.}

Book of the Acts of the First Believers

1 - (Pharisee) Saul was still breathing out threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord. He went to the high priest 2 and asked for letters to the synagogues of Damascus, saying if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he could arrest them and bring them to Jerusalem.

     3 Later on his way to Damascus, a bright light suddenly shone all about him. 4 It was so bright he fell to the ground. And he heard a voice saying, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”

     5 And Saul said, “Who are you?” And the voice said, “I’m Jesus, the one you’re persecuting! 6 Get up now and go into the city, and you’ll be told what to do.”

     7 The others who were traveling with him were speechless, for they had heard the voice but didn’t see anyone. 8 Saul got up, and although his eyes were open, he couldn’t see a thing. So they led him into Damascus. 9 He wasn’t able to see for three days, during which time he didn’t eat or drink.

     10 Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.”

     Ananias said, “Here I am, Lord.” 11 And the Lord said, “Go to the street they call Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul. He’s praying 12 and has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay hands on him so he might see.”

     13 But Ananias said, “Lord, I’ve heard about this man! How much evil he’s done to the believers at Jerusalem. 14 And now I hear he has authority from the leading priests {authorities of the nation} in Jerusalem to arrest all who call on your name.”

     15 But the Lord said to him, “Don’t worry, he’s a chosen vessel of mine to bring my name to the nations, before kings, and also to the children of Israel. 16 I’ll show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name [onoma - name, authority, cause].”

     17 So Ananias went and entered the house. Then laying his hands on him said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road has sent me to you so you may regain your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” {The Presence of God.}

     18 And immediately the darkness fell from his eyes, and he could see. Then Saul rose up and was baptized, 19 and taking food, he was strengthened.

      For some days he stayed with the disciples at Damascus. 20 And right away he went to the synagogues and proclaimed Jesus, saying, “He’s the Son of God!”

🌙 1 - And now it was two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread [two days in a row, called interchangeably, as was the whole week also referred to by either name]. And the leaders of the nation, the chief priests and scribes, were seeking how to arrest him on the sly and have him killed. 2 But they were thinking ‘not during the feast, in case there should be an uproar from the people’.

     3 Meanwhile Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the (ex)leper, as he was reclining at table. And a woman came in with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure spikenard, very costly and fragrant, and she broke it and poured it over his head. [Anointing of a king, Christos - “the anointed one”.] 4 There were some there who were indignant and thought to theirselves, ‘why was this fine ointment wasted like that? 5 It could at least have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And so some were scolding her.

     6 But Jesus said, “Don’t bother her. Why are you troubling her? She’s done a good thing. 7 You always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you’ll not always have me. 8 She has done what she can. She has anointed me beforehand for burial. 9 And truly, I tell you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in all the world, this will be told about her.”

How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! 4 So if you have such cases, why do you bring them before those who have no standing in the church? 5 I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the two of you who are believers, 6 but brother goes to law against brother, sister against sister, and before unbelievers? 7 To have lawsuits with one another at all is already a defeat. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? 8 But you yourselves wrong and defraud even your own brothers and sisters! (And these immature/infant believers were puffed up, lol. Weren’t we all? Generally speaking that is.)

11-03 - 1 CORINTHIANS 5 7-13

🌙 7 - Rid yourselves of the old leaven, so you may be a new batch of dough, as you are now unleavened of the old. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8 Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil (competing, adversarial, feeling superior, etc) but with the unleavened bread of sincerity, genuineness and truth.

     9 I (Paul) wrote to you in my earlier letter not to associate with sexually immoral people. 10 But I didn’t mean the sexually immoral of this world. Or the greedy and swindlers. Or idolaters. Because then you would need to go entirely out of the world! 11 What I’m saying is to not associate with anyone who says they are a brother or sister, but are engaging in sexual immorality, or are greedy, or an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler. No don’t even eat with such a one.

     12 For what have we to do with judging outsiders? Isn’t it those of the church (believers) we should judge? 13 God judges those outside. But put away from yourselves the evil doer from among you.

     [Notice this, but opposite leaven — Mt.13:33, key word 3, “…The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three batches of dough “ (humanity) “untiL it was aLL leavened.” And then we have the three batches identified in these verses - 1Cor.15:22-24,28 “For-aS by Adam, all die - so also - by [en - in, on, at, with, by] Christ shall all - be made alive. 23 BUT, each in their own order: (#1)Christ the firstfruits (barley harvest/batch) then (#2)at his coming, those who belong to Christ (the wheat, Mt.13:30 is Rev.16:13-16! yes?!). 24 Then comes the end, (#3) when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father aFter destroying every rule and every authority aNd power (grape harvest, overflowing!) (vs.26 - The last enemy to be destroyed is death.) 28 When all things [translators added “things” to pas - “all, every, each, every, the whole, each part(s) of a totality — when aLL are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be (of course) subjected to He who put all things [pas!! put aLL] in subjection to him, that God may be all in all [pas! - that God may be all things in all things - doesn’t quite work! Nor in “all scripture for training” 2Tim.3:16). But is the same word - pas, all, every, the whole! How did we eveR think God aLmighty, who “is Perfect” could possibly ever be so very inept!?

     Stay tuned for more erroneous translations and harshest possible interpretations to be revealed. So we can know the full gloRy of God’s message. The knock our socks off Truth, of what God is creating, and how. And most importantly, why. It’s only hidden and mysterious because human translators happened to be biased by an ancient - pre Abraham - cruel, people controlling, spiritual propaganda myth, of two parts.

     “OnLy One is Immortal” 1Tim.6:16. 

     Jesus said, “All those in the tombs/graves will hear God’s voice and will come forth” (“resurrection” - from - the graves/tombs) “some into the resurrection of life (into THE millennium, to serve called reigning.. for to do His works is surely to reign.. crown of Life, not metal). And some into the resurrection of (the GWT) judgment” (‘day’, Jn.5:28-29) which elsewhere He calls agelasting correction [“kolasin aionion” oR “korrection eonian”] Mt.25:46(!) THE completing of drawing all, Jn.12:32! And surely(?) it’s a same process of refinement/correction for all. The crucible being life as we presently know it - this unavoidable, all important contrast. Until vivification either at 1Cor.15:52,53 or at Rev.21:5, 1Cor.15:24-28. We shall have character that is clear as crystal. Humanity and creation sealed. God is Life and “is perfect” so anything less than perfect results in total entropy, and is an abyss of potential. Sorry, life hAs to be “perfect”, lol.🎺🎉  “The lion will eat straw like the ox and the bear will graze with the cow” Isaiah 11:7.]

Tomorrows verses - 1 Corinthians 6:1-8

11-03 - JOHN 12 20-36

 ☀️ 20 - Among those who were in Jerusalem for the Passover/Unleavened Bread* feast were some from Greece. 21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and they asked him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.” 22 So Philip told Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip went to Jesus and told him.

     23 And Jesus said to them, “The hour has now come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains only one. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.” {And becomes many.! “We shall be like him, and of course we have far to go.. It’s a work God does. We must submit, submit, submit.. keep saying I do, I do, I do. And keep “seeking, asking, knocking” for Him and to understand Truth, all Truth and nothing but.}

     25 “Whoever loves his life will lose it, and whoever loves less their life in this world will keep it as enduring life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me, and where I am, there they will be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor them. 27 But now my soul is troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But it’s for this hour I’ve come. 28 Father, glorify your name.”

     Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it. And I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that was around him heard it, and said “It thundered!” But others said, “An angel spoke to him.”

     30 Jesus said, “This voice has come for your sake, not mine. 31 By this is the judgment of this world. And by this will the ruler of this world be cast out. 32 And I - if I am lifted up from the earth [executed on a cross/tree] - will draw all to myself.”

     33 He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die. 34 So the crowd answered him, “We’ve heard from the Law that Messiah remains forever. Why do you say the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”

     35 So Jesus said, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtakes you. The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where they are going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, so you may become sons and daughters of Light.” When Jesus had said these things, he left the temple and city.

                  ~ * ~

* Passover and 1st day of Unleavened Bread were referred to interchangeably. And the entire Spring holy week, as well, was referred to as both Passover and Unleavened Bread. This is only one of the ways it is veiled as to how exactly, and perfectly, the Lord’s first advent fulfilled those Spring holy days. There are also 3 Sabbaths of the week, so 3 preparation days as well. Logically, might this imply something about the Fall holy days — the ancient holy days as listed in Leviticus chapter 23? When aLL is said and done (one & done) “God will Tabernacle with mankind” after and in the “palin/again-genesis” of Rev.21:1-5. In verse 5 the word is pas, one word which means - all, every, the whole. The word things is inserted here, and elsewhere. Including three out of five times in 1Cor.15:27-28, repeating what? Three times in vs.27? God’s message is so unbelievably good that it’s hard to believe? Including translators brought up in the worldwide, ancient belief of afterlife torments. The adversary’s second fondest fantasy? World domination, of course, as first fantasy. (Which culminates, and which logically can only ever culminate in Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4, since the “splitting” of creation’s building block is possible.

11-02 - LUKE 21 37 to 22-2

 🌙 37 - Every day Jesus taught in the temple, but at night he went out and stayed on the mountain they call Olivet (Mt. of Olives). 38 And early in the morning all the people were coming to him in the temple to hear him speak.

     22:1 - Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called the Passover. [The days, and week itself, called interchangeably, is one way it is veiled as to how perfectly Jesus fulfilled the ancient Hebrew Spring holy days, by his brief first advent, Lev.23.] {So what are we to think of the Fall holy days of Lev.23?}

     2 And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to have him put to death, but they feared the people.

11-02 - 1 CORINTHIANS 5 1-6

 🌙 1 - It’s actually reported, that there is sexual immorality among you! And of a kind that’s not even tolerated among pagans, for a man is with his father's wife! 2 And yet you’re feeling superior? Should you not rather mourn? And why is he among you as one respected and in good standing?

     3 Though I’m not there with you, I’m with you in spirit, as one right there with you. And it’s obvious such behavior isn’t acceptable {in the name and cause of the Lord}. 4 When you’re gathered together in the name of the Lord Jesus and with his authority - I’ll be with you in spirit - 5 deliver this man over to Satan for the destruction of such behavior, which is of the lower, self serving nature, so that his spirit may be saved for the day of the Lord. (Ostracize for a season, with prayer.)

     6 Your boasting isn’t good. Don’t you know a little leaven {of whatever sort} leavens the whole lump?

🌙 [Jesus continues.] 34 - “So watch yourselves, that your hearts not be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness or the cares of this life, and - that day - comes upon you suddenly like a snare. 35 For it will come upon all who dwell upon the face of the earth. {Much chain reaction in that day, Is.24:20/Rev.10:4}. 36 So stay awake in all seasons - praying that you may have strength [katischuó - prevail against, overpower, get the upper hand] in order to escape [ekpheugó - to flee away, flee out, escape] all these things that are going to come about, and to stand ready before the Son of Man.”

REVELATION - 11 1-14

 BooK of Revelation

                a paraphrased study

1 - Then I (disciple/apostle John) was given a measuring rod like a staff (clue about the “rod of iron” Jesus will rule the nations with after shattering them with it - measuring rod - Truth). And I was told, “Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, 2 but don’t measure the court outside the temple. Leave that out, for it’s given over to the nations, and they’ll trample the holy city for forty-two months”. (Cross reference? - 1Cor.3:16 - “do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit”/Presence of God.. I.e. waiting for a ‘third temple’ in prophecy, could be an error? Dn.12:11-12.

     3 “And I will grant authority to my two witnesses (Rev.7:9,4?) and they’ll prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” (Poverty, mourning, and has to be during the second half of the lauded treaty that will last only seven years and be broken in the middle against Israel, Dn.12:11-12 w/ Lk.19:41,44-which verses prove the “70 weeks” gap between 69 and 70; and w/ 1Cor.3:16. A math problem revealing what?) 4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and utterly ruins their foes. If anyone wants and is willing to harm them, thus it’s [dei - necessary, inevitable] they will be killed. 6 They have the power to shut the sky, that no rain may rain during the days of the prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they wish. 7 And when their testimony is completed, the beast rising from the bottomless pit (from the abyss of potential that imperfect/straying is) will make war upon them, will conquer them, and kill them, 8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified. (Which was “outside the gate” of Jerusalem, so outside Jerusalem, not solely Jerusalem as Sodom and Egypt.) 9 And those of the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations, will look upon them for three and a half days, not allowing them to be put into tombs/graves (Jn.5:28-29). 10 And they’ll rejoice over their murders, make merry and exchange gifts, because these two had been a torment to them. 11 But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up! And great fear fell upon those who saw it. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Come up here!” And they went up in a cloud, as they watched.

     13 And at that very hour, there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. (Zech.14:4)

     14 The second woe has passed, behold, the third woe is coming quickly. [The word is tachu - quickly. But translated here and elsewhere as ‘soon’. Which is not quite the same, although soon after would be.]

 ☀️ 14 -  I don’t write these things to make you ashamed, but to correct you as my beloved children. 15 For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I (Paul) through the gospel became your father in Christ Jesus. 16 I urge you, then, be imitators of me. 17 That is why I sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church. 18 Some are arrogant, as though I will not be coming to you. 19 But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I’ll find out - not the boastful talk of these arrogant people - but their power. 20 For the kingdom of God isn’t all talk but power. 21 What do you wish? Shall I come to you with a (measuring?) rod [rhabdos - staff of authority] or with love in a spirit of gentleness?
