Today’s GospeL Verses ~ Mark 11:27-33

27 - And they went again into Jerusalem. And as Jesus was walking in the temple, the chief priests, scribes and elders (leaders, authorities) came to him, 28 and they asked him, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority to do them?” [He was teaching the people and he had kicked out those buying and selling in the temple yard and court. And had overturned their tables.] 29 Jesus answered, “I will ask you a question, and if you can answer it, I’ll tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the baptism of John from heaven or was it from man?”31 And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he’ll say, ‘Why then didn’t you believe him?’ 32 But can we say, ‘From man’?” For they were afraid of the people, who all held that John was a prophet. 33 So they answered, “We don’t know.” And Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

                ~ Galatians 3:22-29 ~

22 - The Scripture has imprisoned all under sin, so the promise by faith in Jesus might be given to those who believe.

     23 Before faith came, we were under the law, held in custody (under lock and key) until the coming faith would be revealed. 24 So then, the law was our guardian (and tutor) [paidag贸gos - a trainer, tutor] until Christ came. This is so we might be justified by faith. 25 And now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26 for in Christ Jesus all are sons and daughters of God, through faith. 27 And when you were baptized, it was a putting on of Christ, like putting on new clothing. 28 And therefor there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female. Instead you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, and you are heirs according to PROMISE.

20 - In the morning when they went back by the fig tree that Jesus had cursed, they saw it had withered away right down to its roots. 21 And Peter remembering said, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered.” 22 And Jesus said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For truly, I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in their heart, but believes what they say will come to pass, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I say, whatever you ask in prayer, believe you receive it, and it will be yours. 25 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive them, so your Father who is in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses [parapt贸ma - a false step, trespass, from parapipt贸 - to fall in, into or away, to fail; a lapse (deviation) from the truth, an error, slip up, wrong doing that can be (relatively) unconscious/non-deliberate].”

                ~ Galatians 3:16-21 ~

16 - The promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. God didn’t say to Abraham, “And to your offsprings,” as though referring to many, but - “to your offspring” - referring to one. And that one, is Christ. 17 This is what I mean - the law, which came 430 years later, doesn’t cancel a covenant/contract/agreement/guarantee, previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise. 18 For if the inheritance comes by the law, then it no longer comes by promise. But God gave it to Abraham by a promise [epaggelia - a summons, promise, from ep铆 - upon, appropriate, and aggell艒 - announce – a promise which literally announces what is fitting, epaggel铆a is a legal term that refers to an officially sanctioned promise].

     19 Why then the law? It was added because of transgression [parabasis - a going aside, from par谩 - contrary, and bain艒 - go – properly, an overstepping, a deliberate going over the line and transgression]. The law was added, until the offspring should come to whom, and about whom, the promise had been made. The law was put in place through angels, and by an mediator. (Moses.) 20 Now a mediator is helpful if more than one party must reach an agreement. But God didn’t use a mediator when he gave his promise to Abraham. (?He said it. HE will bring it to pass.)

     21 Does the law then contradict the promises God has made? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that can impart life, then indeed, righteousness would come about from the law.

11 - (Mark’s account.) And so Jesus entered Jerusalem and he went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went back to Bethany with the twelve.

     12 On the following morning, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find any fruit on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it wasn’t yet the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.

     15 When they came to Jerusalem, he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there, inside the temple courts. And he turned over the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those selling pigeons. 16 And he wouldn’t allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And then as he was teaching the people, he said to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you’ve made it into a den of robbers.” 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it (the leaders) and they were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 And when evening came they went back out of the city.

                ~ Galatians 3:8-15 ~

8 - The Scriptures long ago said God would accept the nations (gentiles) because of their faith. And this is why God told Abraham the good news that in him all nations would be blessed. 9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, known as the man of faith. 10 The thing being, that all who rely on works of the law to be accepted, are under a curse, for it’s written, “Cursed be everyone who doesn’t abide by and do all that’s written in the Book of the Law.” 11 It’s evident no one is justified before God by the law, for it’s  written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” 12 But the law is not of faith, rather it’s a way, as it’s written, that “The one who does them shall live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from that curse by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations, so that we might receive - the promised Spirit - through faith. 15 To give a human example - even with a man-made covenant/contract, no one annuls it, or adds to it, once it has been ratified. [And “faith” preceded The Law; Abraham was before Moses.] (The Law is societal preserving. Israel was “separated” to be swaddling cloths for Messiah, the “savior of the world”. But Life, the enduring Life, from God, is a gift. “The Seed Jesus” is planted in us, and God waters and feeds it to maturity - “we shall be like him”. Our part is to believe! To be yielded to His work in us. He, after all, has each one’s highest blueprint. Yet! It’s not about us. But about God. His Spirit/Presence and all that he is, and what he is creating.)

But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side (at 70CE and at the culmination of history/the “unveiling” when things crash and fail) 44 and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you.

It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. 2 Let me ask you this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing, with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? 4 Did you suffer so many things in vain? If indeed it was in vain? 5 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, do so by works of the law? Or by hearing with faith - 6 just as Abraham “believed God - and it was counted to him as righteousness”?

Untie it and bring it here. 3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing that?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.’” 4 And they went and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. 5 And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing?” 6 So they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go.7 And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. 8 And many spread their cloaks and leafy branches from the fields on the road. 9 And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna!

11 - But when Peter came to Antioch, I (Paul) had to challenge him. 12 For before certain men came from James (Jerusalem) he was eating with the Gentiles, but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing what the circumcision party might think. 13 And then the rest of the Jews/Hebrews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray. 14 But when I saw their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you expect the Gentiles to live like Jews?” 15 For we ourselves are Jews by birth and not lawless. 16 Yet we know - that a person is not JUSTIFIED by following the law - but through faith in Jesus Christ. And we Hebrews, also have believed in Christ, as the means to be justified [dikaio贸 - quote - “from dik膿 - right, approved, especially in a legal, authoritative and judicial sense; to show what is right, i.e. conformed to a proper standard, upright; the believer is made righteous/justified (G1344 /dikai贸艒) by the Lord, cleared of all charges.. Moreover, they are justified (1344 /dikai贸艒, "made right, righteous") by God's grace each time they receive (obey) faith (4102 /p铆stis), i.e. "God's inwrought persuasion" cf. the -o艒 ending which conveys "to bring to/out”] — (aha! It’s not only “all charges dropped” but right-ness is brought in and out of the (yielded) believer. Genuine Faith will bear Fruit. All of it) by faith. (The “new and living way”.) Because by works of the law no one will be justified. (Imperfect cannot make itself perfect.. 馃棟️But God can, and will.) 17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be practicing sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a deliberate transgressor. 19 For through the law, I died to the law - so that - I might live to God. 20 What I mean of course, is I, the old me, has been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live. But Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not cancel out and frustrate the grace of God! For if righteousness is earned (and not a Gift) then Christ died in vain!

Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying the colt?’ tell them, ‘The Lord has need of it.’” 32 So those who were sent went and found all just as he had said. 33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” 35 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on it, they had Jesus sit upon it. 36 And as he rode along, the people spread their cloaks on the road. 37 As he was drawing near, down from the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude accompanying began to rejoice and to praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had been seeing. 38 And they cried out, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the LORD!

Those, I say, who seemed influential, added nothing to me. 7 On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel TO the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel TO the circumcised 8 - for he who worked through Peter for his apostleship to the circumcised, worked also through me for mine (my apostleship) to the Gentiles. 9 And when James, Peter and John, who are esteemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and I. And agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised. (To the Hebrews/Jews/Israel).10 Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I am always eager to do. (Paul too, was a Hebrew/Jew - the bible has a prophecy, because Israel didn’t recognize the coming of their Messiah, one result would be they would become known by a “byword and slang/slander”. But woe to anyone who touches them, or like in ancient days when Edom(?) rejoiced at their adversity when enemies defeated them. ..Departing from God, his Spirit/Presence as a shield would fade.

11 - While the crowd of people were listening to these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because He was near Jerusalem, and they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.12 He said to them (a parable) “A nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and then to return. 13 Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten talents/coins, and told them, ‘Engage in business until I come.’ 14 But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’ 15 When he returned, having received the kingdom, he sent for the ones to whom he had given the coins, that he might know what they had gained in doing business. 16 The first came, saying, ‘Lord, your coin has made ten coins more.’ 17 And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a little, you shall have reign [exousia - delegated empowerment operating in a designated jurisdiction] over ten cities.’ 18 And the second came, saying, ‘Lord, your coin has made five coins.’ 19 And he said to him, ‘You shall be over five cities.’ 20 Then another came, saying, ‘Lord, here is the talent you gave me. I kept it laid away in a handkerchief, 21 for I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man. You take up what you didn’t place, and reap what you didn’t sow.’ 22 And the businessman said to him, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you troublesome [pon茅ros - toilsome, bad] worker, you knew I’m a harsh (harsh reality) man, taking what I didn’t place and reaping what I didn’t sow? 23 Why then didn’t you not put the talent to usury (use) and at my coming, I might have collected it with interest?’ 24 And he said to those who were nearby, ‘Take the coin from him, and give it to the one who has the ten.’ 25 And they said, ‘But lord, he has ten already!’ 26 ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given. But from the one who hasn’t, even what they think they have will be taken away. 27 But as for these enemies of mine, who don’t want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.’” (Daniel 7:9 - “And the ancient of days took his seat” ..“All of life is a stage” - Shakespeare.

This was in order to be sure I was not running or had not run in vain. 3 But even Titus, who was with me, was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek (thus never circumcised). 4 False brothers secretly came in to spy out our freedom we have in Christ Jesus, so they might bring us into slavery - 5 to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment. So the truth of the gospel (glad tidings) might be preserved for you.

1 - Then I looked - and behold - on Mount Zion stood the Lamb. And with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. (It’s time - Mt.23:39, Ro.11:15, Rev.7:9,4.) (But Mt.Zion is the spiritual/heavenly, Mt.of Olives is the literal/earthly.) 2 And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of rushing waters and of loud thunder. And like the sound of harpists playing on their harps. 3 And they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 having been redeemed from the earth. 4 These who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. (Truth virgins not corrupted by ancient goddess based beliefs?) Who follow the Lamb wherever he goes, having been redeemed out from men as firstfruits for God and the Lamb, 5 and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are blameless.

He had the glad tidings to proclaim to those who dwell upon earth, to every nation, tribe, language and people. 7 And he said with a loud voice, “Fear/revere God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment (of the world, this wrong way that can never work) has come, and worship he, who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.”

Today’s GospeL Verses ~ Mark 10:46-52

46 - And they came to Jericho. And as they were leaving Jericho with a great crowd along with them, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. 47 And when he heard the commotion, and learned that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 And many scolded him, telling him to be quiet. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him over here.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart. Get up, he’s calling for you.” 50 And throwing off his cloak, Bartimaeus sprang up and went to Jesus.

     51 And Jesus said to him, “What is it you want me to do for you?” And he said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” 52 And Jesus said, “Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” And immediately his sight was restored, he could see, and he joined the crowd following Jesus.

Today’s GospeL Verses ~ Luke 18:18-34

18 - And a ruler came who asked Jesus, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit enduring life?” 19 And Jesus answered, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 20 You know the commandments, ‘don’t commit adultery, don’t murder, don’t steal, don’t bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’” 21 And the man said, “I have kept all these from my youth.” 22 After hearing this, Jesus said, “One thing you still lack. Sell all you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.” 23 Then the man became sad, for he was very wealthy. 24 Seeing this, Jesus said, “How difficult it is for those who have riches, to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

     26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?” 27 And he said, “The things that are impossible with man, is possible with God.” 28 Then Peter said, “We have left our homes to follow you.”29 And Jesus said, “Truly, I tell you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers, sisters, parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 who will not receive many times more - in this time - and in the age to come enduring life.”

     31 Then taking the twelve, he said to them, “We’re going up to Jerusalem, and everything that’s written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be done. 32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon. 33 And after they flog him, they will kill him. And the third day he will rise.” 34 But they understood none of these things. It was all hidden from them. They did not grasp what he was saying.

13 - For you’ve heard of my (Paul’s) former life in Judaism, how I violently persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it. 14 I was advancing in Judaism faster than many of my age, as I was very zealous for the traditions of the fathers. 15 But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace, 16 was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the nations/gentiles, I didn’t right away consult with anyone. 17 Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and then I returned again to Damascus.

     18 Then after three years had passed, I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas (Peter) and I remained with him fifteen days. 19 But I saw none of the other apostles, except James the Lord's brother. (Writer of the letter from James.)

Today’s GospeL Verses ~ Luke 18:9-17

9 - Jesus told a parable to some who trusted in theirself that they were righteous, and they treated others with contempt,. 10 He said, “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, who was standing off by himself, prayed ‘God, I thank you that I’m not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I have.’ 13 But the tax collector, who was standing far off, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified. But not the other, for everyone who exalts theirself will be humbled, and the one who humbles theirself will be exalted.”

      15 Many people were bringing even their infants to him that he might touch and bless them. And when the disciples saw it, they scolded them. 16 But Jesus called them all to him, and said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For to such belongs the kingdom of God.

     17 Truly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive the kingdom of God like a small child cannot enter it.”

6 - I (Paul) am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the LORD who called you into the grace of Christ. And you’re turning to a different gospel! 7 Not that there is another gospel, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel/good news of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel - contrary - to (not agreeing with) the one we preached to you, that one will be accursed. (As cause and effect, nicknamed God’s wrath/greek-orge/passion/Love!) 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, they are accursed. 10 For am I looking for the approval of man? (The world/listening to the world of one’s time.) Or the approval of God? Am I trying to please man? (To live up to the world? And the world’s voice.) If I were still trying to please man/the world, I would not be a servant of Christ!

     11 For I would have you know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel that was preached by me is not a man's gospel. 12 For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus, the Christ.

20 - Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus answered, “The kingdom of God doesn’t come with careful observation (like a story covered by newscasters?) 21 Nor do they say, ‘here it is or there it is’ for behold, the kingdom of God is among you.” 22 And, to his disciples he said, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of these days of the Son of Man, and you’ll not see it. 23 And they’ll say to you, ‘Look, there!’ or ‘Look, here!’ Don’t listen nor follow them. 24 For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side of heaven to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day. (On that day.)

     25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the day of the Son of Man. 27 They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day came when Noah entered the ark, and the flood destroyed them. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot. They were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29 and, on the same day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them. 30 And so shall it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. (Like lightning from one end of the sky to the other.)

      31 On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take his goods with him, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. 32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, but whoever lets loose his life will keep it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. 35 There will be two women grinding together. One will be taken and the other left.” 37 And they asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.” (All things considered, is this the gathering of the world - already dead - to the H’armageddon battle?)

21 - And the son (who went away and wasted his inheritance on riotous living) said to his (happy) father, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I’m no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22 But the father said to his workers, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes for his feet. 23 And get ready the fattened calf and let us eat and celebrate! 24 For my son was dead! But now he’s alive. He was lost, and now he’s found.’ And they began to celebrate.

     25 “Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 And he called one of the servants and asked what was the meaning. 27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.’ 28 But the older son was angry, and he refused to go in. His father came out and tried to talk to him. 29 But he answered, ‘Father, I’ve worked and served you these many years, and I’ve not run off and left the work for others, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’ 31 And the father said to him, ‘But son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.’”

     13 As for you, brethren, don’t grow weary in doing good. 14 If anyone doesn’t carry through what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and avoid them. 15 Don’t regard them as an enemy, but be warning them as a fellow believer in the family of God. (Some were expecting the Lord so soon, they had quit working for their own support, and whoever they might be responsible for.)

11 - Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ So he divided his property between them. 13 And not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered everything in reckless living. 14 And when he had spent all, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs. 16 And it came about that he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him a thing. 17 Then he came to himself and said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough food? And here I perish with hunger! 18 I will go back to my father, and I’ll say to him, ‘Father, I’ve sinned against heaven and before you, 19 and I’m no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.’ 20 And he went home to his father. And then while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. His heart swelled, and he ran and embraced his son and kissed him!” (Where’s the angry Father who has to be appeased by sacrifice? Perhaps we’ve misread the atonement. Atonement it is!

(..? Man is carbon based, and carbon has six protons, six neutrons, and six electrons. Strongly? suggesting apocalypse is all done by man.

1 - Now the tax collectors (tax collectors for Imperial Rome.. so not very well liked) and notorious sinners (harlots, drunkards, etc. common people, higher ‘class’ people could hide being notorious, today we would add drug addicts, yes?) were all drawing near to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and even eats with them!”

     3 So he told them this parable, 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, doesn’t leave the ninety-nine in the field, and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it upon his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ 7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one rebel who turns, than over ninety-nine righteous persons having no need of repentance. 8 Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, doesn’t light a lamp and sweep the house and look diligently until she finds it? 9 And when she’s found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ 10 Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner [hamart艒l贸s - an adjective, derived from hamart谩n艒 - from hamartia -missing the mark, and n艒 - wide, missing wide of the mark] who repents.” (Don’t forget, the Pharisees, as a group/party, were robbing widow’s houses..)

1 - Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers snd sisters, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. (Day of judgment for man’s world and empires, imo, the consequences, namely entropy on steroids, ultimately Is.24:20, because of Rev.16:13-16, which is Mt.13:30.) 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man [anthropos - man, mankind] of lawlessness is revealed [apokalupt贸 - uncovered, unveiled, revealed, seen, made plain] the son [hyi贸s – of like nature] of destruction, 4 opposing, and uplifting oneself against every so-called god or object of worship, so as for him in the temple of God to be seated, claiming himself [heautou - himself, herself, itself] is God. (Anthropos as highest power, and the final a.c.) 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And you know what is restraining it now so that it may be revealed in its time.7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work — Word for word — “but the restraining now until out of the midst to happen” [ginomai - come into being, happen, become (become gone)]. 8 And then the lawless [anomos - lawless, without law] will be revealed, which the Lord Jesus will destroy with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. 9 That is the coming of the lawless according to the working [energeia -working, activity, power in action] of Satan with all power [d媒namis - force, energy] and false [pseudos - untrue, false] signs [s茅meion - a sign, miracle, indication, mark, token] and wonders [teras - wonder, marvel] (modern?)10 and in every deception of wickedness (toward) the (still) perishing anti [against, opposite, hence instead of, denotes contrast, requital] which the love the truth not receiving to [eis - to or into, penetration, purpose, result] in order to be saved [sozo - saved, rescued from destruction and brought into divine safety].

WeekLy BooK oF Acts 11 1-30

 A paraphrased study

1 - The apostles and brothers who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party (Hebrew believers) criticized him, saying, 3 “You went to the uncircumcised and ate with them!” [Israel was strictly separated from others, in order to birth Messiah, the “savior of the world” into a comparatively prepared nation.] 4 But Peter began to explain to them what had happened, 5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance [ekstasis - a displacement of the mind, state of ecstasy] and I saw a vision. There was something like a great sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. It came down to me 6 and looking at it closely, I saw animals and beasts of prey, reptiles and birds of the air. 7 And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat.’ 8 But I said, ‘By no means, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth!’ 9 But the voice answered a second time from above saying, ‘What God has made clean, do not call common.’ 10 And this happened three times. And then “all” [h谩pas - from h谩ma - all together, and p谩s - each, every – thus each and every one as a comprehensive unit] was drawn up again into heaven. 11 And look! At that very moment three men arrived at the house, who were sent to me from Caesarea. 12 And the Spirit told me to go with them. And to ask no questions and make no distinction. These six brothers as well, accompanied me, and we entered the man's house. 13 And he told us how he had seen the angel coming into his house and the angel said, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. 14 He will declare to you a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household.’ [This was now the “good news for all” beginning to earnestly go out to the nations, called gentiles/non-hebrew.] 15 And even as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit(/Presence of God) fell upon them. Just as it had upon us at the beginning [Acts 2]. 16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 So then, if God gave the same gift to them, as he gave to us - when we believed in the Lord Jesus - who was I that I should stand in God's way?!” [An answer to the I.O./Israel only doctrine.] 18 When the brothers heard these things they fell silent, and they glorified God, saying, “Then to the Gentiles also, God has granted repentance that leads to Life.”

     19 Now in those days, those who were scattered because of the persecution that had risen after Stephen’s stoning, had traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the message to no one except to Jews/Hebrews. 20 But there were some, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who upon coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists (Greeks) also, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord. 22 The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, so they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

     23 When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he was happy, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose. 24 For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord. 25 So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul/Paul. 26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church (the believers) and taught a great many people. And it was in Antioch that the followers [math茅t茅s - learners, disciples, pupils] were first called Christians.

     27 It was at about this time, that prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 And one of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the civilized world (and the famine took place in the days of Claudius). 29 So the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, to send relief to the believers living in Judea. 30 And they did so, sending it to the elders there by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

25 - Great crowds were still accompanying him, and he turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not love his own father and mother and spouse and children and brothers and sisters less, yes, and even their own life, than me, they will not be able to be my disciple. 27 Whoever does not bear their own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, whether they have enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, after you’ve laid a foundation but are not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock, 30 saying, ‘This one began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31 Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he’s able with ten thousand to meet the other who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if not, while the other is still a long way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. 33 So anyone who doesn’t renounce [apotass贸 - to set apart, take leave of, withdraw from] (able to let loose of) all that they have cannot be my disciple. (Still a believer, but not yet a disciple?) 34 “Salt is good. But if salt loses its saltiness, how can it be restored? 35 It’s then of no use, either for the soil or for the manure pile. It’s thrown out. Whoever who has ears to hear, let them hear.”

1 - Paul, Silas, and Timothy,

To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus.

     3 We are indebted always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as is good, because your faith is abundantly growing, and the love of each of you for one another is increasing. 4 And so we boast about you in the churches of God! For your steadfastness and faith during all your persecutions and afflictions which you are patiently enduring. 5 This is evidence that you are worthy of the kingdom of God, or you wouldn’t be suffering because of it —6 and indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you (reaping as sowing) 7 and you yourselves will repose with us in the revelation/revealing of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his mighty angels. 8 In flaming fire, giving vengeance upon those not knowing God and not obeying the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 On that day they will suffer the penalty [dik茅 - right as self-evident justice, the principle, a decision or its carrying out] of aionion (eonian) doom and ruin, away from the presence of the Lord, and the glory of his might (aionion)10 when he comes to be glorified in his followers, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony was believed. 11 To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and may complete every good and every work of faith in you, by HiS power, 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus.

15 - When one of those reclining at table with Jesus heard his parable of the wedding banquet/reception, he said to him, “Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!”16 And he said to him, “Yes! A man once gave a great banquet and invited many. 17 And at the time for the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come. For everything is now ready!’ 18 But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it.’ 19 And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go and examine them. Please have me excused.’ 20 And another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’

     21 So the servant came and reported this to his mister. Then the master of the house became angry and said, ‘Go out quickly to the streets, lanes and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’

     22 And the servant came back and said, ‘Sir, what you commanded (instructed) has been done, and still there is room!’ 23 And the mister said to the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my banquet may be filled. 24 For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste of this banquet.’” (Mt.25:1-13!

15 - In conclusion, see that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another, and to everyone. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances. For these are the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Don’t quench/deny the Spirit(/Presence of God). 20 Don’t despise prophecy. 21 But test everything. Hold fast to what is good. 22 And abstain from every form of evil.

     23 Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and complete your spirit and soul/psyche and body blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful. He will surely do it.

25 Brothers and sisters, pray for us.

26 Greet all with a holy kiss.

27 I put you under oath before the Lord to have this letter read to all.

28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Psalm 90 — What iS God’s Wrath?

A Prayer of Moses a Man of God

With Word Insights [facts] (thoughts)


1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.

2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and world, from age to ages you are God. 3 You return man to dust and say, “Go back! Return, O children of dust!”

4 A thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it has gone by, or as a watch in the night.

5 Swept away, like but a dream. Like herbs that grow up in the morning!

6 In the morning it flourishes and blooms. In the evening it fades and withers.

7 For we are spent and brought to an end by your anger [aph - a nostril, nose, face, anger, from anaph - to be angry (this feels different to me that aph be from anaph馃し馃徏‍♀️lol.. like ‘held back’ is the sense I’m getting]. By your wrath [chemah - heat, from yacham - to be hot, to conceive (be in heat馃ゴ He cannot help but breathe out the rescue/remedy!) By your wrath (dust to dust) we are dismayed [bahal - disturbed, terrified] (consumed).

8 You have set “what is done/what we do and what it brings” [word is avon] before you, our secrets in the bright radiance of your presence.

9 All our days pass away under your wrath (a slow fading.. a slow burn/gehenna - “THE” crucible, laver, sieve. The dis-ease is part of the cure. God is 200% (oops freudian slip) unfettered Genius). Our years end on a sigh.

10 The are seventy, or if by reason of strength eighty (or more!) yet their span is but toil and trouble. They are soon gone, and we fly away [uwph - brandish, wave].

11 Who considers [yada - knows, understands] the power of your anger? For as the fear [yirah - awesome, extremely, fearing, reverence] is your wrath [enbrah - overflow ‘from a region’ from abar - alienate]?

12 So teach us to count (make count) our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.

13 Return, O Lord! How long? Have pity on your servants!

14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days!

15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted [anah - bowed down afflicted, defiled] us (“HE [who “iS Life”] has subjected all to disobedience/straying/imPerfection, that he may have/exercise mercy upon aLL” [pas - every, all, the whole] Romans 11:32). Make us rejoice, for as many years as (wAy longer than) we have seen evil [ra'- adversity, bad, evil].

16 Let your work be seen by your servants, and your glory to the children.

17 Let the favor [noam - delightfulness, pleasantness, beauty] of the LORD our God be upon us! And establish (ye) the work of our hands - upon us [al - upon, above, over (what we do and what it brings, imperfect = entropy. Wrath, cause and effect]. Yes, establish [kun - make firm] the work of our hands!

7 - Jesus told a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the places of honor he said, 8 “When you’re invited by someone to a wedding feast, don’t go and sit in one of the seats of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you be invited, 9 and you be embarrassed when you are asked to sit somewhere else. 10 But when you’re invited, go sit in the lower, more humble place! Then when your host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. 11 For everyone who exalts theirself will be humbled, and they who humble theirself 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 brethren/siblings and relatives and wealthy neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,14 and you will be blessed.

                ~ 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. (馃Sneakily!) 3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come suddenly upon them as labor pains come upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. 4 But you are not in darkness, that the day surprise you. 5 For you are children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. 6 So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake, and be sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk during the night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the protecting breastplate of faith and love. And for a helmet the hope [elpis - expectation!] of salvation. 9 For God has not destined us for wrath (dust to dust/gone or the fiery judgments which are all earthly, even during the millennium after “the” millennium, Rev.20:7-10) but to obtain salvation [s贸t茅ria - welfare, prosperity, deliverance, preservation, salvation, safety] through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 Who died for us so that whether we may watch or sleep we will live with him! 11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

     12 We ask you, brothers and sisters, to respect those who labor among you and are leaders in the Lord, teaching and counseling you. 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.
