Key question:
What is your Pearl
and what is your Putrid?
What makes you sick and what do you forsake all to get?
If you are not sick at the appropriate things you are still vulnerable to end times apostasy and being deceived by this world.
If you are not lusting after the right things you are complacent and in danger of drawing back
Watch out for your desires!
We need to increase our distaste for evil and exponentially increase our lust and while craving for good truth...
Then indeed we will really fulfill biblical begging

Reminders from SRM:
NT More Severe

careless of a salvation such as this

Imitation

imitation of those who inherit the promises

Heb_13:7

---------------
If we look at good things
in the wrong way then we are going to lack faith and favor, and we are going to
be continually shooting ourselves in the foot and creating a non-favored life
for ourselves with unending moral problems issues sins and unrestrained
disconnection from the Truth.
This is why we are looking
at canonical and inspired obedience -- it is the hidden unappreciated treasure
and pearl that no one else is forsaking all to get so how about you?
Consider:
The Problems Solved
By the Favor of Begging
Many of the problems and stressors you are feeling/facing from lacking Gods favor are due to not begging Biblically enough.
What percent of your problems is from not begging enough?
Problems and solutions both occur in the realm of what you admire.
This is why repenting away from assumptions and into a Biblical view of inspiration is so important.
We need to base all of our knowledge and achieve all of our perception based on established knowledge, not assumptions and irrational blasphemies, and heretical lovelessnesses.
I can pretty much predict
the misunderstanding and blasphemy that church people are going to slander us
with:
outsiders virtually always
misunderstand the Bible, and are naturally going to our message asa result (by
default) as though we are saying believers should only beg obeyers, but what
the Bible is actually teaching and saying is that believers Beg God and
Obeyers.
on an initial simple level
you can already see the teaching of begging, that includes being obeyers, right
there in there actual words of The sermon on the Mount...
if there remained any
question or doubt in your heart you should be fully persuaded when you consider
all of the other examples all throughout the Bible of believers actually
begging obeyers in direct obedience to this eager soft-hearted faithful
righteous virtue posture - the Bible is on to something and it's about time we
finally caught up with it
>> Scrip:
they first gave themselves
to the Lord and then to us according to the will of God
everyone who has been
discipled by the father comes to me
whoever is on the Lord's
side let him come to me
the spirit and the bride
say come
this is part of "the
doctrine of us" that essentially everyone is ignoring and wickedly
treacherously pretending like it doesn't exist, because they are so foreign to
the concept of Biblical poverty begging, and so busy contradicting virtually
every foundation of the soft heart of the New Covenant that they can't even
relate to the first principles of the Truth...
see LO:
God Defines Himself with His Bride
God is in so much control
of our entire existence that He planted a revelation of Who He Is even in the
things that He created (rom1) and it is His total sovereign prerogative to draw
out a revelation of His identity in the most glorifying Divine ways as He
exalts His Bride into divinity to shine out with His own glory and declare His
own identity which He planted in her before the world began inside of the Word
of God...
...
They actually fraudulently
insert their absurd blasphemies into their apostate bible per-versions!
GOD'S WORD Translation

who recognize they are spiritually helpless. The kingdom of heaven belongs to
them.
https://www.biblestudytools.com/matthew/5-3-compare.html
as said to apostate James:
"why do I have to tell you that you need to beg? why isn't it already
written on your heart like Rom2 says? ...but instead you ridicule the very idea
that you should beg..."

Mat18 just for yourselves

11/28/23
key question:
how should we urge people
to beg?
press down and being poor
are synonyms in the Bible.
>> Scrip:
pushing yourself and
downward direction toward humility and the resulting posture of crouching are
two synonymous words describing the same phenomena from different perspectives.
we may or may not notice
this in English as much depending on how carefully we think about the
Scriptures because only some of it is transparent enough to be as noticeable,
however it is much more concrete and directional in Greek.
in English you might
possibly notice the two words being used somewhat interchangeably when they are
both used together in particular passages, but in Greek you don't necessarily
require a passage to put them together before you can already inherently
linguistically know that the two words are related from the basic essence of
what they are describing.
Monotheist care a lot about
these critical themes that have been carefully explored and revealed throughout
the Scriptures.
>> Scrip:
poor pressed down
be pressed down
the Bible clearly commands
you to have a press down mentality / attitude, so this is essentially already
commanding you to be a poor beggar by paralleling the two terms.
Furthermore, the Bible
directly commands you to imitate those who by faith and endurance inherit the
promises - and this commanded imitation would always include the righteous who
are always poor crouching beggars that inherit God's kingdom by lot and by
law...
so we can very clearly see
that you are commanded to be pressed down / humble and we can see that your
commanded imitate people who inherit the blessings of poor crouching beggars.

Obeying Scientific Details
is NOT Interpreting.
Whenever obeyers point out
the begging in 5-7 and 28 that believers do to obeyers,
it is of course inevitable
that disobeyers are going to blasphemously accuse obeyers of
"interpreting" the passage and inserting the idea of people begging
other people into the text, and disobeyers will pretend like horizontal begging
is not originally there in the text, as if it were possible for obeyers to just
make up and insert that idea and interpretation on into the text.
this is hard and
blasphemously absurd and illogical and willfully ignorant.
disobeyers are
"ignorant because they ignore it".
disobeyers are so
preoccupied with disobedience and breaking God's rules that of course they
don't feel the constraint or obligation to obey the text when it is unlocked
and opened up...
But a soft-hearted eager
faithful righteous soul is obligated to true information, and cannot turn back
once the Scriptures have been opened - they are bound and obligated to obey the
Truth of the light shining out of the Scriptures, especially once they have
been unlocked and opened, and made so plain that a Bible lover can't help but
Love and obey the Truth that is being expounded.
We've already seen and
established that the Bible directly forbids anyone to interpret the Bible, and
Bible obeyers are the furthest people in the universe from such sick crimes as
interpreting the Bible, and the irony is that when they are so bound to obeying
the Bible, they have to even obey the subtle parts of the Bible that tell you
to put two and two together and which obligate you to obey such understanding
that results from this.
obeyers are so preoccupied
with obedience that they are absolutely required and bound to keep every small
piece of the Scriptures, even when they tell us to combine these pieces and
gain understanding and be bound to obedience to such resulting understanding...
Disobeyers are going to
pretend like people begging people is not already there as a preset feature
within the text, and this is simply because when the Bible keeps on telling us
these things they pass over these commands and rules and don't constantly
change in order to be prepared for when they are reinforced and repeated later
on in the text of Bible.
But a Bible aware has read
the preceding authoritative governing context and has already adjusted himself
to embrace the truth that he's about to receive once he comes upon a new text
which invokes these same rules again and when a new text prompts the
conclusions of obedient begging, the obeyer readily responds having been
prepared as good soil and an eager heart of loving righteous soft-hearted
faith, but the disobeyer groans and darkness and accuses able of doing
something wrong when he offers the pleasing obedient God blessed sacrifice of
horizontal begging just exactly like the Bible has constantly been teaching us
and disobeyers have been blasphemously warring against and ignoring.
Superficiality has
absolutely nothing to do with obeying the Bible much less does it ever unlock
its mysteries much less does it ever have a working functional clean good
conscience to obey the implications of such obedience.
Button of air is diligent
and perceptive toward detail and insists that every Yoda and every Korea must
be obeyed just like Jesus teaches in this very same passage, so when there is a
repetition of the word righteous then righteous affairs pay attention to
correlation is that naturally connect to text together and when an obeyer is
keeping every Yoda and Korea he notices the double emphatic features that
correlate two passages together,
And when he sees that the
themes and vocabulary words and moral teachings correlate in Matthew 5-7 and 28
he has no problem putting them together and cooperating with the natural
inevitable conclusions of obedience that begging includes vertical as well as
horizontal elements in cooperating in the entire process that is described in
discipleship and salvation.
The details of grammar and
double emphaticness and repetition of words all link passages together in The
sermon on the Mount and in the Great commission.
From the grammar and the
details and the context and the moral teachings, it is absolutely clear that
the do teacher (m5) is thematically morally linguistically linked with the here
do disciples (m7) which is confirmed in Matthew 28.
There is a righteousness
that is hungered and thirsted for in Matthew_5:6 and this righteousness is
being taught by a do teacher in Matthew_5:17-20. There is a very clear
correlation that the righteousness which a beggar in Matthew_5:3 is
hungering and thirsting for in Matthew_5:3 and in Matthew_5:6 is
accomplished through a do teacher in Matthew_5:17-20. there is no reason to
ignore this correlation and exclude the do teacher from the virtue of begging
and hungry and thirsting when Jesus has included as a tool through whom the
righteousness is given and unto whom the righteous beggar begs for truth and
discipleship.
12/10/23
the two stages of begging
include a recognition and even more so a realization of your state of
desolation.
this does not mean that
being poor in spirit means you recognize you're already poor in spirit like so
many mindless sloppy crazy church people try to pollute the Bible as though it
were endorsing such a wicked and confused useless illogical circular saying...
you don't recognize that
you're already poor in spirit, because you're not and that's just the problem
that makes you desolate...
you need to realize you're
desolation and state of condemnation on your way to hell and then you need to
respond and take action by begging with an attitude or Spirit of poverty in
order to inherit heaven.
so you realize that you're
desolate and on your way to hell and in response to that desolation and take
action to beg - these are the two stages and they're not at all synonymous to
be confused with each other.
to obey the Bible you have
to recognize that:
poor begging is not
"recognizing you're already poor begging" but poor begging is a
response to the realization of your desolation - the state you're already in
sends you to hell, but your poor begging response to it sends you to heaven,
and you shouldn't be pretending that you're already on your way to heaven like
church people confuse, because that's exactly the luxury that sends you to hell
in the name of being "poor in spirit".
...
the first step is to get
church people to get the word for poor begging correct, which is actually in
the minority, but nonetheless, I was able to find more than I expected in
videos where they mentioned the word begging in English (which is really the
best word to use).
if you can just get the
right word down pat on your way to at least using the right vocabulary for The
sermon on the Mount and the blessed people that inherit heaven.
but then, even if you get
the word right there still remains the even more important aspect of how to
apply the begging...
if you can get the academic
aspect of the word poor correct there still remains a seemingly small yet
vitally important detail that 'separates the sheep from the goats' and the
Bible obeyers from the apostate church people...
Bible obeyers inherently
have God's Word written on their heart because of the New Covenant (Jeremiah,
Romans 2, etc), so when you talk about begging they automatically know by
nature how to obey this missing detail...
but when church people talk
about poor in spirit, and even if they finally get to the point where some of
them talk about begging, they still stop short of obeying everything the Bible
is saying because they insert an unbiblical heresy and imagine that the begging
is somehow artificially limited to begging "God alone".
all the people in the Bible
and all those who obey the Bible never come up with such a wicked disgusting
evil heresy default idea...
a small minority of people
get the right word for begging correct, but no one in church gets the right
morality of begging the whole counsel of God like the Bible constantly affirms
including in the sermon on the mount.
when righteous people face
the need to beg they have no problem naturally begging God and all those who
represent any aspect of Him in their lives, but wicked perverted church people
are so busy assuming non-inspiration and living uninspired sub Divine wicked
dirty sinful lives that they can't admit that they're supposed to include God's
delegates in His kingdom as part of the righteous posture of begging that God
has called all of us to embrace and obey...

Poor Crouching Begging Defined
is about being needy
impoverished awareness of need and desperation enough to take action and
apprehend salvation and solve problems by pressed down lowly begging
See: Humility Defined (below)
Fruit Defined
fruit is about producing
results, proof, fulfilling the initial essence of the roots
finishing our and
fulfilling the nature of who you are deep down inside as a tree or a person
There are some very common
confusions that happen up front when trying to define what it means to be poor
in spirit:
some people think that the blessed are different groups of people, but you can't logically think that way - you have to conclude that these are overlapping virtues describing the same group of people, mainly, the disciples coming toward him who are getting the kingdom of heaven as well as seeing God - and these cannot be a different group or subgroup of people
most church people confuse being poor in spirit with a recognition, when it is in fact a response to a recognition.
most inevitably and essentially unanimously church people wrongly assume that , whatever poverty and spirit means, it always is only directed toward God and excludes his bride and people - and this is the most fatal deadly error and moral heresy and blasphemy...
over and over again way too
many people habitually obsessively bizarrely keep compulsively saying that
'being poor in spirit is a recognition that you're poor in spirit'.
at first this can seem to
be a minor inconvenient illogical quirk about the religious human race or about
church people's tendencies to be a logical, but by starting off on a strange
and obsessively compulsive illogical statement then people can often proceed to
make staggeringly incorrect conclusions.
in linguistics you're not
allowed to define a word by using it in the definition, but this is essentially
what they're doing when they say being poor in spirit is defined as recognizing
your already poor. - you can't result in being something by recognizing that you
are already that same something before you recognized it.
this illogical absurdity
error makes being poor in spirit a recognition or passive acknowledgment
admitting something, whereas the actual scriptures describe it as a noun which
implys virtuous action.
when we say that being poor
in spirit is a recognition that were poor in spirit, then this illogical
quirkiness that church people almost unanimously keep compulsively repeating
from their illogical nature, then out of this confusion we tend to miss the
entire point of being a poor beggar.
recognition is the
prerequisite and being a poor beggar is actually the response.
as a prerequisite you
indeed need to recognize more particularly that you are desolate and destitute
of all good cleanness and all saving truth - this is the real honest
recognition that the Bible tells you to have, and know this is not what it
means to be poor in spirit, this is just the prerequisite and first stage of
those who end up being blessed.
but for those who are
actually poor beggars in the spirit they have not only surpassed the
prerequisite of recognizing their desolate and unsaved state but they have
moved on to take action on it.
being poor in spirit is not
a re-recognition of what you already recognized before getting to this point,
but rather, being a poor beggar is an action that you take in response to your
awareness of desolation and unsavedness...
a few people indeed do seem
to sort of figure it out that there needs to be begging action involved
somewhere, but we need to set the record straight up front for the sake of
those who get confused and so that we can know for all clarity and assurance
what it actually means in the first place to be foreign spirit.
Rich church people are fond
of mentioning that being 'poor in spirit' supposedly has nothing to do with
your circumstances of not having money, however when it comes to defining what
it does mean they still seem to want to define it as recognizing your
circumstance of supposedly needing g-d - both of these circumstantial ideas are
wrong...
being poor in spirit is not
a reference to your physical circumstances of lacking money, although it can be
radically associated with that, but it is much more not about recognizing your
need for g-d... the point is it's not circumstantial or recognizing your
circumstances, but it is giving over a reasonable righteous response
overflowing from the right attitude or "spirit".
...
remember that the law leads
us to anointed one. the law shows us that we are desolate, but this
acknowledgment of desolation doesn't save us but it is the righteousness of
Faith responding to the Good Hope in front of us that can save us.
recognition is what many
church people like to harp on, but recognition of desolation, even if we take
it in the accurate sense that we're not saved, is only stage 1, is only the
first step and there's nothing in the works of the law that are of faith,
therefore it cannot be said that those who "recognize"or
"acknowledge" their desolation are blessed because they are saved and
go to heaven...
but rather instead the long
needs us to Anointed One, and therefore it is not the recognizers or
acknowledges that are saved and seen in Romans 7 where the unsaved Paul is
fully acknowledging his desolation and it did nothing of itself to make him a
blessed inheritor of God's Kingdom, but rather instead, when we see the Pearl
we sell everything to get it. We are not looking at our desolation when Jesus
blesses our begging, we are looking at the Pearl and telling everything and
begging to obtain his kingdom of overflowing righteousness that we are hungry
and thirsty for in order to be saved...
this is the real Biblical
orthodox idea of the blessedness which David describes:
rom4
saying very clearly,
despite all of his material glory and possessions:
this poor man cried and the
Lord answered him and saved him
that is biblical saving
attitude or Spirit of being poor and being blessed with a Salvation of
inheriting God's Kingdom.
these are some of the
important elementary linguistic and moral and biblical principles of being poor
in spirit, and in some sense we would be happy if we could get church people to
just get directed on these basic facts, since they are indeed profound, but we
can't even stop with these basic simple facts because after getting the basic
foundation established we have to also move on to the even bigger problem how
church people get begging wrong:
in generic theory, almost
no one in churches today really disagrees that you need to beg God. You need to
beg the right God for salvation and righteousness and virtue and His One Spirit
so you can inherit His kingdom.
indeed, even if they fumble
over the previous points and confused poverty with recognition, somehow they
might still be able to sort out this secondary point that being poor in spirit
includes having the right attitude of neediness toward God.
but church people very
quickly and sharply start disagreeing when God speaks of Who He Is, and defines
Himself along with His Bride and includes His servants along with Himself when
He is seated in glory on His throne...
>> Scrip:
we are seated together with
anointed one in heavenly places
the spirit and the bride
say come
church people are fine with
you saying you need to be needy toward God, but when you start repeating and
teaching what He says about begging the righteous then they start blaspheming
and contradicting and opposing the Scriptures.
the scripture is actually
didn't mean to make a gigantic point about begging righteous people since they
were already accustomed to doing this from ancient times and this was no New
concept for them but was a foreground conclusion for everyone who is begging...
but for us you have to yell
and scream it at church people since they are so dull of hearing and obstinate
and rebellious and self glorifying and prideful
with Biblical people it is
so foundational to their basic and simple orthodoxy because they have examples
in front of their eyes like Ruth begging Naomi for her God, and therefore when
the New Covenant comes along and talks about begging for truth it goes without
saying and is totally clear and easily established that of course begging
includes those through whom God is taught and transmitted.
and while it goes without saying
as a basic tenant of month using and has already been so easily established the
examples of people like Ruth, yet for us we have to reverse translate their
basic tendency in order to get on the first principles of monotheism and get
over our Protestant American modern hangups and prideful obstinate detesting of
begging other people...
but indeed we can and even
must reverse translate the basic tenets of their monotheistic faith:
Matthew_5:3
Matthew_5:6
so stop reading the Bible
like it is speaking to your modern prideful independent selfish self-expressive
egocentric culture and start reading the Bible obediently like an authoritative
monotheistic revelation of serious clean righteousness that you have to obey in
order to inherit heaven.
because if you don't need
do teachers for overflowing righteousness, then you're not those hungry and
thirsting for this very same righteousness, and as a consequence we see that
you're not the one begging, hungry and thirsting for this righteousness, and as
a consequence you are not even related to those inheriting Kingdom of Heaven.
The reason we know that begging is a word for humility because the main
word for humility is pressed down and is used synonymously with the main word
for humility throughout the Bible

Why Humility is so Vitally critically important all throughout the Bible
Down-Up is all throughout the Bible
Inspiration Resurrected: The Down-Up Principle is a vitally important first step toward regaining real, Biblical inspiration among us in our age today.
Down-Up = Begging Humility: The Down-Up principle helps show why begging is such a vitally important and necessary part of Biblical humility, favor, and salvation
Mat_18:3 Unless you are converted as children, you cant enter kingdom
See: Humility = Heaven
Mat_18:3 NKJV and said, Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Mat_19:14 NKJV for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Mar_10:15 NKJV Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.
Kids are smaller, so they look up to bigger
Therefore
Others are treated
Php_2:3 as holding others above yourself

Php_2:3 NKJV Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
Rom_12:10 NKJV in honor giving preference to one another;
1Pe_5:5 NKJV be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.
Teens Rebel when they start getting bigger and thinking they dont have to be small anymore -- lusting after this world of self-exaltation -- as if we all live in the ghetto and the only way to survive is to puff yourself up.
Are you still secretly living as a rebellious teen irrationally defining your own identity?
Me↓ Others↑ (Humility ≈ Love)
Low Enough: When you go down enough, all of the sudden, you can admire righteous people -- thats when you get saved.
Guaranteed Diagnoses: If you're not admiring broken humble Bible obeyers, it's always because you haven't gone down enough.
No More Excuses: You no longer have to make or even tolerate excuses to despise inspiration when you already know what the cause and effect really are!
Me↓ Others↑
Lies↓ Truth↑
Self↓ God↑
Despising↓ Clean Faith↑
Flesh↓ Clean Spirit↑
Flesh↓ Gods Inspiration↑
Me↓ Humble Obeyer's↑
↓↑ Self-Demotion → Exaltation by God
Do you have faith in (and obsessively prefer) Divine exaltation?
Self↓ exalted-by-God↑
Self↓ externally lifted up↑
Me↓ Others↑ ≈ Humility, desolation acknowledgment, Love, discernment-perception (Php_1) judging up (Heb_5), truest identity, inspiration acknowledgment (no assuming non-inspiration)
↓ = ❤
When you have put yourself down enough it's easy to look up to those who you have put above yourself.
It's easy to eagerly crave Gideon and Jephthahs inspired salvation when you realize how desperate and desolate you are.
My Flesh = uninspired; Obeyer's faith = God's Communications to me
Now you finally no longer have to stone the prophets (seen below) when your flesh is down and Gods Inspiration is Up -- even on EARTH, as in heaven!
Stop Stoning/Rejecting the Prophets & Those Sent to You
Mat_23:37-39; Luk_13:34-35; Luk_19:41-44
After you see ↓ = ❤, Hopefully you can
understand how critically vital it is to get pressed down into Biblical
humility!
Grab on and never let go!
Affliction, trials, and being pressed down makes you HUMBLE, Believing God and Obeyers, & Saved by Inspiration, Perceptive, Loving, and believing others and saving yourself & hears/others.
Pressed Down = Love!
❤ Internalize the reality:
Humility is Loving people
Lowering myself is always the most Loving thing to do
(Unlike Joe Smiley -- who says loving yourself is the best thing you can do for others)
Be Mission/Goal Minded: get Loving / humble no matter what it takes! -- This IS Love & Salvation
Press Through Desolation
Lose & Lower Yourself
Be a nobody!
Hope in God's exaltation
Do everything resolutely exclusively extremely toward the goal and prize of real Love humility Truth brokenness insufficiency and out of this world divine inspiration (just like Moses in Numbers 12, etc.)
Why No Prophets?
Why are there No Prophets or even much of any inspired people still alive today?
Because were still persecuting them!
Because Churches wont let truth get proclaimed in their sinful buildings!

This does NOT mean they stop going to

they seek to stop the clean Truth proclaimers from ever speaking to them
They forbid the real Prophets from ever
speaking to them

Rebellious Religion
Rebellious Church today is (at least)
just as guilty as Apostate Israel was in Hoseas day.
Knowledge rejection = not hearing Truth
proclaimers today
We get the rejection we choose -- and it
is high time to repent and change lest we be completely destroyed
We need to reverse the rebellion against Gods Inspired heroes -- but how can we do that when we have so much rebellion bound up in our hearts?
The Point: Extreme Humility is vital and indispensable because it makes us believe Gods inspiration sent to us so we can be saved, so we need to do whatever it takes to get humble enough lest we perish from being lost
Pro_22:15 WEB Folly is bound up in the heart of a child: the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
Pro_22:15 LB Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod and instruction will drive it far from him.

Discipline vs. Mud
Discipline Can Believe: We need Discipline and/or self-disciple to change and start having faith again in Gods Truth
Discipline Can Release: Punishment brings us down so we can let go of evil.
Mud Cant Hunger: We dont beg for food when were full of mud.
Exchange Your Craving: When we drop what is bad, we crave to pick up what is good.
Hunger for Righteousness*: If you throw up your junk food, and you fast, then you can eagerly crave what is healthy on an empty stomach. (* Mat_5:6)
Pro_27:7 WEB A full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.
Pro_27:7 LB A satisfied soul scorns the honeycomb, but to a hungry soul even bitter things appear sweet.
Pro_27:7 ψυχὴ ἐν
πλησμονῇ οὖσα

ἐμπαίζει, ψυχῇ

We need to get disciplined and hungry so we can finally escape pride and embrace the Truth!
This Down-Up Principle is proven by all the numerous examples below, as seen all throughout the Bible
Biblical Humility =
Hebrew Implies: Oppressed, Needy, etc. Including
Greek: Pressed-Down & Poor-Begging
Naturally, The Hebrew Bible
initially Emphasizes the facial attitude of humility
The Greek Bible brings the
ideas to a climax by describing the choices and concrete actions you do to be
truly humble and saved
Biblical words and concepts
for humility

LOW Humility

The Idol of Rich Positivity
Rich want positivity
-- therefore they redefine humility as their own self-made idol!
This is avoiding a guilty
conscience instead of repenting and obeying to grab eternal life (Mat_6; 1Ti_6,
etc.)
Officially thanking God
for all the good Hes given you is a first step toward social reform, but it
does nothing to save or protect you from the rich harlot of Revelation!
The harlot is positive! I
sit as a queen; will so no sorrow -- laying mouth of the false prophets, from
Jeremiah to Revelation!
Biblical Hebrew-Greek humility is NOT
just raw positivity disguised as thankfulness!
Humility is not a graceful descent to
"a modest feeling" of yourself
It is a forced lowness in Hebrew, whether
externally or internally
It is pressing yourself down to squatting
and begging in Greek
Fasting into Humble Eyes
Lev_16:29;
Ezr_8:21; Dan_10:12
Isaiah 58 - TrueFast
Isa_58:10
Exo_10:3 be humbled
Gentile Humility Required!
Don't be a hardhearted Gentile!
Notice that this is one of the clear places the LAW speaks directly to the wicked sinful flesh of Gentiles, and the need to bow down their eyes!
Commands to be humble,
our commands to obey the virtue that saves
It is not a commanded
virtue that is lofty above your head beyond your ability
Afflicting yourself
into press down begging is always beneath your feet

Php_2:3 Consider others
better than yourself
Php_2:3 NKJV Let nothing be
done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each
esteem others better than himself.
Rom_12:10 NKJV Be kindly
affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to
one another;
1Pe_5:5 NKJV Likewise you
younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive
to one another, and be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud, But
gives grace to the humble.
Inspired Saving Attitude
of Others = Better
The attitude of Moses, Jesus, & ALL THOSE SAVED by imitating and unifying with Him!
Inferiority Complex Produces Begging
It's your job to maintain
awareness of your flesh's sinfulness
It's your job to maintain
an awareness of the glory of righteous people
If you have an inferiority
complex, because you see the sinfulness of your flesh and the glory of those
hoping and obedience, then of course you're going to be a a beggar to those who
are better than your self
2Co_12:10 I take pleasure
in weakness
2Co_12:10 NKJV Therefore I
take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in
distresses, for Christs sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2Co_12:9 NKJV And He said
to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.
Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of
Christ may rest upon me.
Jam_1:2 NKJV My brethren,
count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
Rom_5:3 NKJV And not only
that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces
perseverance;
So,
Humility is required for
salvation because...
You've got to be convicted to have faith, because that's what faith is!
You've got to acknowledge your sin and deep sinfulness
Real humility is at the beginning of the Gospel of our salvation:
Poor Crouching Begging Defined
Mat_5:3; Luk_6:20;
Luk_16:20
Poor crouching begging is
one of the hardest words to translate in The Sermon on the Mount without
monumental concepts being lost in translation
Biblical humility is
begging
Gospel saving humility is
begging
Themes and synonyms of
begging and asking are throughout the Sermon on the Mount
is about being needy
impoverished awareness of need and desperation enough to take action and
apprehend salvation and solve problems by pressed down lowly begging
Getting what you don't
already have is the goal of monotheism
Hypocrisy restates what you
already have think believe
In order to hide and maintain
and flatter conventional hypocrisy
Surprisingly I have to warn
about something so elementary...
You don't include the
definition of a word within the definition of the word in order to define a
word...
Being poor in spirit is not
recognizing your poor and spirit - or any confusing variation thereof
Being poor in spirit is not
recognizing you are poor spiritually, or recognizing that you're already a
beggar, because that defeats the purpose of those who inherit the Kingdom of Heaven
Bible is the opposite of...
Macho Man
Alpha Male
If you're wondering how to get started with begging... JUST ASK!
As long as you dont ask wrongly / ask amiss (Jam_4:3)
>>Scrip: ES
Jam_4:3 NKJV You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss,
that you may spend it on your pleasures.
The pressed down humility of Jesus that thought about and treated others
better than Himself armed him with the virtues that sought out John the Baptist
and asked for the valuableeness of his baptism and quoted The divinely inspired
value of Moses's Words when He was most vulnerable in the wilderness
BTW: If you're wondering where God's Spirit
is at in your life, this is where!
Virtue is where The Clean Spirit is at
Love is about cherishing value
Seek out what value to cherish about every human as long as they're
alive
Humility looks for what value you need from them - and asks for it
After all, relationships are all about meeting needs
Just pause and think about how others have (or someone particularly has)
anything at all nice, enjoyable, or valuable, and then carefully think if
there's anything they have that you need and ask them for it.
This is not selfish resource consumption, but this is the humility that
is in real love that craves asks and even begs for the valuableness in other
people that you need - and when you receive them into your life you invite a
functioning (and maybe even excellent) relationship with them (and this can fix
all kind of broken relationships into surpassing excellence that you never knew
was available)
>>> BSSm, etc.
Mat_5:3 Beg spiritually (poor in spirit)
Mat_5:6 Hunger & thirst for righteousness
Mat_5:17-20 Do-teaching = greatness & Discipleship
Mat_6:9-13 Ask for Gods will, provision, forgiveness, deliverance
(Lords Prayer)
Mat_6:33 Seek first the kingdom & righteousness
Mat_7:7 Ask, Seek, Knock (for good gifts)
Mat_7:11 Expect good from the Father
Pride stops you from admitting there is something nice about someone
you're angry at
Pride stops you from asking others for something they have that is
better than what you have.
This is the exact same lovelessness of pride in both cases, there's no
(real moral) difference!
You don't need to slouch into low culture, because then you'll never
achieve the zealous value of real love, or the exciting purpose of greatness
Begging is as simple as...
Imitate, learn, be a disciple
[9/8/25]; 9/9/25; [9/7/25]; []; 9/14/25
The Continued Begging which Keeps Asking!
You haven't (fully) inherited the kingdom of heaven! (Yet, so far)
You desperately need help from Bible obeyers
Obeyers Still Have What You Need!
(Keep asking every time someone has something you need)
No Hasty Graduation
Don't ever graduate from begging!
This kind of hasty mistake is perhaps the worst form of "Premature Arrival Syndrome"
Paul & Jesus = Our Examples of Continued Begging
Paul kept making himself poor (2Co_6), just exactly like
Jesus kept humbling Himself (Php_2:), & making Himself Poor (2Co_8:)
Jesus humility included making Himself poor
>>Scrip:
The body parts of anointed one are not able to say to each other that, I
have no need of you
See: Independence
As often as you need something, and God has it, then keep on begging God.
As often as someone has something that you need, keep begging them.
Some people probably understand any kind of begging as only being for an
"altar call" type of response
But you can't truly make the statement that you can graduate from
begging so that you already did that and don't have to keep doing that anymore
Saying you don't have to beg anymore is like saying you don't have to be
humble anymore, because begging is one of the most important Bible words for
humility.
1 Corinthians_4:8-
they did already do "an altar call" when they got baptized in 1st
Corinthians 1
So it looks like they've already done there salvation entrance begging,
but that's not what concerns Paul so much in 1st Corinthians_4:8
We see that their apostasy is in danger going to hell, and they're the
only ones (besides the Galatians) that have a problem continuing to beg Paul in
the Bible
Compare Philippians 2 with 2 Corinthians 6 & 8
In Philippians 2 Jesus kept on humbling Himself
In 2nd Corinthians 8 this included making Himself a poor crouching
beggar
So we don't get to stop having the mind of anointed one in Philippians
2, but we need to keep on humbling ourselves, which includes continuing to make
ourselves poor crouching beggars
If you're struggling to seriously value someone, you can even start
small: maybe they are valuable in small ways such as...
Physical skills (handy, sewing, technology, etc.)
Something slightly nice about their personality
Maybe there's something mentally valuable about them
Therefore begging is a biggest key to really loving people.
Begging is both faith and love in this sense
Therefore it is biblical for you to be eager to search out how to be a
beggar, because you need it for your own salvation in bearing good fruit as
well as other people need something seriously valuable that acknowledges and
cherishes them with real love
(A) Beggar
Jesus told us to be humble
beggars (Mat_5:3) -- so that implies He was one too -- Jesus practiced what He
preached
2Co_8:9 Jesus made
Himself poor-beggar
We've got to talk
biblically, and somehow find a way to (verbally and literally) agree with Paul
when he said Jesus was as a beggar.
So don't think of how Jesus
was not a beggar, but instead think of how you can say He was a
beggar, and agree with the Bible, and talk like the Bible and still come out
Orthodox.
(B) Php_2:
Were supposed to think
like Him as our example of humility (which would logically include His
begging):
Phil_2:3 KJV Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
let this mind be in you
(C) Grew as A child Needing
Learning
Isa_7: Emanuel
Before the child will know
good from evil
Jesus Needed Marry
Marys flesh
To learn to talk & read from her
(D) Human Will to Sacrifice
His human will given up for
the Fathers
(E) Fasting
Mat_4: Luk_4:
Jesus depended on the words
of Moses in his most desperate hours of fasting and resisting the devil -- He
refused to Branch out on His own independent authority!
(F) Baptism
Jesus needed john to baptize Him.
(He needed/begged someone else)
Jesus gained maximum
approval from the Father by submitting through John's baptism, of all the
strange ironies
(G) Foot Washing
Exemplified
Jesus bowed before the
disciples and wash their feet, similar to Maria Bethany who had washed His feet
(H) Jesus is MEAK! --
thats Almost Beggarly
Mat_11: I am meek
Paul: The meekness of
anointed One
Paul made himself a
poor-beggar just like Jesus did! (as seen above)
Submitting to James - despite how utterly bold all is about proclaiming
his good message

lowly humbled beginnings

the ground in the Tabernacle, which completely identifies David as a poor

The Initial Humility and Poverty of David
1Sa_16:11 NKJV And Samuel said to Jesse, Are all the young men here?
Then he said, There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the
sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and bring him. For we will not sit down
till he comes here.
1Sa_17:15 NKJV But David occasionally went and returned from Saul to
feed his fathers sheep at Bethlehem.
1Sa_17:28 NKJV Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the
men; and Eliabs anger was aroused against David, and he said, Why did you
come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness?
I know your pride and the insolence of your heart, for you have come down to
see the battle.
1Sa_17:33 NKJV And Saul said to David, You are not able to go against
this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war
from his youth.
1Sa_18:18 NKJV So David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is my life or
my fathers family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?
2Sa_7:8 NKJV Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David,
Thus says the LORD of hosts: I took you from the sheepfold, from following
the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel.
Reflecting on His Low Estate
Psa_78:70-71 NKJV He also chose
David His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds; from following the ewes
that had young He brought him, to shepherd Jacob His people, and Israel His
inheritance.
2Sa_7:18 NKJV Then King David went
in and sat before the LORD; and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD?
And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?
1Sa_21:13 NKJV So he changed his behavior before them, pretended madness
in their hands, scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva fall
down on his beard.
Psa_34:6 NKJV This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, And saved him
out of all his troubles.
Psa_107:6 NKJV Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, And He
delivered them out of their distresses.
Possessions Before Kingship
Davids Early Prestige
1Sa_17:25 NKJV So the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man who
has come up? Surely he has come up to defy Israel; and it shall be that the man
who kills him the king will enrich with great riches, will give
him his daughter, and give his fathers house exemption from taxes
in Israel.
1Sa_18:4 NKJV And Jonathan took off the robe that was on him and gave it
to David, with his armor, even to his sword and his bow and his belt.
1Sa_18:5 NKJV So David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved
wisely. And Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the
sight of all the people and also in the sight of Sauls servants.
1Sa_18:27 NKJV Therefore David arose and went, he and his men, and
killed two hundred men of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins,
and they gave them in full count to the king, that he might become the kings
son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as a wife.
1Sa_17:52 NKJV Then the men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted and
pursued the Philistines as far as the valley and the gates of Ekron. And the
dead Philistines fell on the way from Shaaraim to Gath and to Ekron.
The Fugitive David
1Sa_21:13 NKJV So he changed his behavior before them, pretended madness
in their hands, scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva fall
down on his beard.
1Sa_22:1-2 NKJV David therefore departed from there and escaped to the
cave of Adullam. So when his brothers and all his fathers house heard it, they
went down there to him. And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in
debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain
over them. And there were about four hundred men with him.
1Sa_27:5-6 NKJV So David said to Achish, If I have now found favor in
your eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may
dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you? So
Achish gave him Ziklag that day. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of
Judah to this day.
1Sa_30:18-19 NKJV So David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried
away, and David rescued his two wives. And nothing of theirs was lacking,
either small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything which they had
taken from them; David recovered all.
1Sa_27:8-12 NKJV David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites,
the Girzites, and the Amalekites. He did not leave a man or bring any spoils to
Gath, pretending to Achish that he was raiding Judah and its surroundings.
1Sa_30:1-2 NKJV Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third
day, the Amalekites had made a raid against the Negeb and Ziklag, and had
burned Ziklag with fire, and had taken captive the women and all who were in
it, from small to great.
1Sa_30:7-8 NKJV David inquired of the LORD whether to pursue the
Amalekites, and the LORD gave guidance to do so, recovering the spoil.
David Dedicates Spoils and Wealth to God
2Sa_8:11 NKJV King David also dedicated these to the LORD, along with
the silver and gold that he had dedicated from all the nations which he had
subdued.
1Ch_18:11 NKJV King David also dedicated these to the LORD, along with
the silver and gold that he had brought from all these nationsfrom Edom, from
Moab, from the people of Ammon, from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
David Refusing Riches
2Sa_24:24 NKJV Then the king said to Araunah, No, but I will surely buy
it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God
with that which costs me nothing. So David bought the threshing floor and the
oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
1Ch_21:24 NKJV Then King David said to Ornan, No, but I will surely buy
it for the full price, for I will not take what is yours for the LORD, nor
offer burnt offerings with that which costs me nothing.
David Prepares for the Temple
1Ch_22:14 NKJV Indeed I have taken much trouble to prepare for the house
of the LORD one hundred thousand talents of gold and one million talents of
silver, and bronze and iron beyond measure, for it is so abundant. I have
prepared timber and stone also, and you may add to them.
1Ch_29:2 NKJV Now for the house of my God I have prepared with all my
might: gold for things to be made of gold, silver for things of silver, bronze
for things of bronze, iron for things of iron, wood for things of wood, onyx
stones, stones to be set, glistening stones of various colors, all kinds of
precious stones, and marble slabs in abundance.
1Ch_29:3 NKJV Moreover, because I have set my affection on the house of
my God, I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have
prepared for the holy house, my own special treasure of gold and silver.
1Ch_29:6 NKJV Then the leaders of the fathers houses, leaders of the
tribes of Israel, the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the officers
over the kings work, offered willingly.
1Ch_29:9 NKJV Then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly,
because with a loyal heart they had offered willingly to the LORD; and King
David also rejoiced greatly.
Davids Public Prayer Over the
Offerings
1Ch_29:14 NKJV But who am I, and who are my people, That we should be
able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from You, And of Your
own we have given You.
1Ch_29:16 NKJV O LORD our God, all this abundance that we have prepared
to build You a house for Your holy name is from Your hand, and is all Your own.
David as King with Great Possessions
2Sa_5:12 NKJV So David knew that the
LORD had established him as king over Israel, and that He had exalted His
kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
2Sa_8:6 NKJV Then David put
garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became Davids servants, and
brought tribute. So the LORD preserved David wherever he went.
2Sa_8:11 NKJV King David also
dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold that he had
dedicated from all the nations which he had subdued.
2Sa_12:7-8 NKJV Then Nathan said to
David, You are the man! Thus says the LORD God of Israel: I anointed you king
over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. I gave you your
masters house and your masters wives into your keeping, and gave you the
house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have
given you much more!
David the Psalmist and Composer
1Sa_16:17-18 NKJV So Saul said to
his servants, Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me.
Then one of the servants answered and said, Look, I have seen a son of Jesse
the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of
war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and the LORD is with him.
2Sa_22:1 NKJV Then David spoke to
the LORD the words of this song, on the day when the LORD had delivered him
from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul.
2Sa_23:1 NKJV Now these are the last
words of David. Thus says David the son of Jesse; Thus says the man raised up
on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel.
Organization of Singers and Musicians
1Ch_6:31-32 NKJV Now these are the men whom David appointed over the
service of song in the house of the LORD, after the ark came to rest. They were
ministering with music before the dwelling place of the tabernacle of meeting,
until Solomon had built the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, and they served in
their office according to their order.
1Ch_15:16 NKJV Then David spoke to the leaders of the Levites to appoint
their brethren to be the singers accompanied by instruments of music, stringed
instruments, harps, and cymbals, by raising the voice with resounding joy.
1Ch_15:27 NKJV David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were all
the Levites who bore the ark, the singers, and Chenaniah the music master with
the singers. David also wore a linen ephod.
1Ch_16:4-6 NKJV And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before
the ark of the LORD, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the LORD God of
Israel: Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth,
Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, and Obed-Edom: Jeiel with stringed
instruments and harps, but Asaph made music with cymbals; Benaiah and Jahaziel
the priests regularly blew the trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God.
1Ch_16:7 NKJV On that day David first delivered this psalm into the hand
of Asaph and his brethren, to thank the LORD.
1Ch_23:5 NKJV Four thousand were gatekeepers, and four thousand praised
the LORD with musical instruments, which I made, said David, for giving
praise.
1Ch_25:1 NKJV Moreover David and the captains of the army separated for
the service some of the sons of Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should
prophesy with harps, stringed instruments, and cymbals. And the number of the
skilled men performing their service was
2Ch_5:12 NKJV and the Levites who were the singers, all those of Asaph
and Heman and Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, stood at the east
end of the altar, clothed in white linen, having cymbals, stringed instruments
and harps, and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets
Davids Order of Psalmody -- Later Reflections
2Ch_29:25 NKJV And he stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD
with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the
commandment of David, of Gad the kings seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for
thus was the commandment of the LORD by His prophets.
Ezr_3:10 NKJV When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the
LORD, the priests stood in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the
sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the ordinance of
David king of Israel.
Neh_12:24 NKJV And the heads of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah,
and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren across from them, to praise
and give thanks, group alternating with group, according to the command of
David the man of God.
Neh_12:45 NKJV Both the singers and the gatekeepers kept the charge of
their God and the charge of the purification, according to the command of David
and Solomon his son.

Distinguishing Flesh vs. Spirit
Do you know the difference between the Flesh and the Spirit?
The Flesh is always disobeying the Bible (Rom_8:7) but the Spirit is always obeying the Bible (Rom_8:4 & see Rom_8:1-18).
This is exactly why you should be running with eager excitement to be with the
righteous, because obeyers are the only ones who have Gods Spirit* (Act_5:32, etc.) and Jesus said
they are the salty (contrasting) light of the world (Mat_5:13-16).

your feet, be hypocritical, complain about the difficulty, grown in the
darkness, be satisfied with your own misery and miserable state of
desolation...
None of these foolish

thing to do is to beg for help to be saved from the flesh!

Is Faith Alone Valid?
Even if such heresy were,
faith is a conviction... And of course you need convicting Faith to be saved
Faith is not when you don't
feel convicted, but when you do!
Salvation from sin is the
New Covenant salvation (Matthew_1:21)
The gospel of your
salvation
The Gospels are the Gospel!
Mark tells us the gospel
began with John
Zachariah in Luke tells us
that John preached salvation
Jesus came preaching the
gospel as soon as John was not able
These are non-negotiable
explicit statements about the gospel and salvation even though they are denied
by liberal free thinking sloppiness in church
See: Humility Defined (above)
9/7/25
Choosing to regard others
as better than yourself is not necessarily a feeling at first
At first you don't see God,
but if you're like Hebrews 11 heroes you choose to lead it into the victory of
faith
So that Moses and the other
heroes of Faith LED themselves into seeing the Imperceivable One
So you don't feel humility
all the time but an obey a rigorously takes up their cross to choose humility
swiftly until they somehow experience it as a result
Greatest = Least
See: David below
Is being "too humble", not real
humility?
Churchy people will say things like,
'real humility is not thinking less of yourself and thinking of yourself as
being small'.
So now, do you need to watch out lest you
go too far with humility?
And we might even have cautions and
concerns that if we get too broken, and lose ourselves too much, then we might
end up suicidal.
But 2Corinthians tells us that these
feelings and experiences of despairing life serve a purpose, and we have to be
careful not to forget and erase and mute out that purpose with vain and useless
flatteries of deception and misleading which will never cure or seriously heal
a person from the root cause of suicidal temptations.
Modern Rich religious people are
cautioning you against going too far with humility, and they're robbing your
hour of greatness by confusing you with instability, lest you go too far in the
Truth and are divinely rewarded by heaven's exaltation.
But...
"Being the least" is an extreme
humility!
Being the youngest is thinking of
yourself as being smaller than all others - The smallest in fact!
When the word of God is shared with you
It is an extremely dangerous symptom to be forgetful and experience spiritual
scriptural amnesia for the moral lessons that should have been changing and
completely transforming you into God's righteousness (2 Corinthians 5) every
single time you read the Bible through, and at every point You read the Bible
daily.
If you're not seeing the transformative
glorious face of Jesus anointed one in second Corinthians 2 -- 5, then not
implies that you are having a veiled reading of the old and new testament
scriptures, and if you are forgetting the moral lessons as you move on to read
new Bible stories that clearly warns you and indicates that you are being bad
ground in Jesus's parable of scattering the word of God like seed
A faulty
and inconsistent memory without permanent transformation when being exposed to
the light of God's word is a scary place to be and is in fact the point at
which obeying all the Bible breaks because you are not simultaneously upholding
everything God says when you're not walking in his spirit with his word written
on your heart and Jeremiah_31:31 semicolon and in Romans 2
The flesh doesn't like Biblical humility
because it messes up its entire sinful overconfidence operation and always
ruins the party by unmasking the devil.
Sinners don't like Biblical humility,
because it convicts and rebukes them for continuing to sin.
Flesh mongers despise Moses, assuming
he's not inspired, criticizing him for not being really humble enough, because
his humility is biblical and convicts their fleshly unchecked self-exaltation
Apostasy ignores Moses's biblical humility
because it doesn't look like their prideful pseudo humility and therefore they
assume Moses is prideful without evidence and blasphemes his holy brokenness as
if he has their own ambitions of lust.
There's almost nothing, except being
prayerfully quiet, that can be done to save an irrational person when they've
lost their brain and are denying their logical human obligations.
The need for quiet salvation is why Moses
essentially said nothing recorded when his siblings accidentally blasphemed him,
and this is needed even more under the New Covenant; this is what we are to
imitate when particularly and more emphatically seeking to save all people.
Look to Moses's inspired prophetic
example in Numbers 12 so that you might become wise through the Scriptures into
salvation that is through Jesus Anointed One as God continually inspires humans
with the Divine wisdom of God who is Jesus.
Joh_5:44 NKJV How can you believe, who receive honor from one another?
Mar_6:3-6 NKJV Is this not the carpenter? So they were offended at Him And He marveled because of their unbelief.
Joh_7:48 NKJV Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him?
Solution: Affliction & Pressed-down humility
2Ch_33:12 WEB When he was in distress, he begged Yahweh his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
2Ch_33:12 LB And when he was afflicted, he sought the face of the Lord his God, and was greatly humbled before the face of the God of his fathers;
2Ch_33:12 καὶ ὡς
ἐθλίβη,
ἐζήτησεν τὸ
πρόσωπον κυρίου
τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ
καὶ
ἐταπεινώθη
σφόδρα ἀπὸ προσώπου
θεοῦ τῶν
πατέρων
αὐτοῦ·
2Ch_33:13 WEB He prayed to him; and he was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh he was God.
2Ch_33:13 and he prayed to Him. And He heeded him, and listened to his cry, and brought him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom. And Manasseh knew that the Lord was God.
2Ch_33:13 καὶ
προσηύξατο
πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ
ἐπήκουσεν
αὐτοῦ· καὶ
ἐπήκουσεν τῆς
βοῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ
ἐπέστρεψεν
αὐτὸν εἰς

ἐπὶ τὴν
βασιλείαν
αὐτοῦ· καὶ
ἔγνω Μανασσης
ὅτι κύριος
αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ
θεός. --
Psa_119:67 NKJV Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word.
Admires
2Ki_5:10-14 NKJV (Naaman humbled to accept simple instruction)
A lower perspective is needed to make Truth visible.
You can have Desperation for God when
seeing self-desolation.
Samsons Desperate Begging to God
Philistine Oppression (long-term bondage)
Jdg_13:2-5 Samson announced (divinely appointed savior-solution)
Jdg_15:18 Samson cries out in thirst/need (personal desperation prayer)
Jdg_16:20 LORD departs from Samson (wrong confidence / hidden downfall convicted/punished)
Jdg_16:28 Samson cries to LORD again from prison (final desperate/humbled appeal)
Crying to God is the easy first step --
at least conceptually
So
Did you pray about it yet?
Samsons Desperation & Ours
A Judge Begs God: the judge Samson is the one who (A) has to be made desperate to (B) beg God. -- This is in contrast to the usual sinners (as also specifically seen throughout the book of Judges) who have to be brought low before they're willing to beg...

Zep_3:12 LSV And I have left in your midst a people humble and poor, || And they have trusted in the Name of YHWH.
Begging God on Earth:
But the real virtue the separates hypocrisy from saving faith is when you cry
out for Truth that is right in front of you, because almost no one from
apostasy has escaped this overt trap
Humble Admiration of Obeyers
When reading the summaries below, Make sure to pay
special attention to the stories of
God is Inside! -- Marry, Paul, & Obeyers
Jephthah &
the other Judges
Naaman: Leave your pagan life; Believe inspiration that is totally against your flesh; Inspiration is NOT like your flesh wants it to be!
Humility: Afflicted/bow-ers/pressed-down/lowly/poor-crouching beggars/etc.
Admires: Persuaded/trust/receive as legitimate/love
Humility is Kind
Root Despising: Despising is the crewel/mean root-cause of all troubled relationships
Undervaluing Error: A sinful undervaluing, devaluing, flattening, miss assessment of other people's value is a stubborn characteristic of depraved flesh that can never love people with righteous relationships.
Broken Relationships: look at your broken and or dysfunctional relationships and take it to heart that lack of lowliness, and pride, and self-asserting identity are keeping you from the practical Love relationships you so deeply need, and hopefully crave -- and they completely stop you from saving yourself and your hearers (1Ti_4:16)
Lowliness Posture: Lowliness gets underneath people in order to look up to their value -- Just like Jesus did.
Redemptive Covenant: Jesus's new, special, amazing, people-valuing humility is why we now have a covenant of redemption and salvation for all people!
Pioneering Example:
Jesus's amazing pioneering accomplishment of a New Covenant compels all people
everywhere to follow His example and to change into greater excellencies of
human redemption (according to the will of God Our Savior and redeemer of all
fallen mankind).
But we need even more
Beyond Kindness: lowliness doesn't just stop at "loving the unlovable" (so to speak)
Not Mere Niceness: we must see that real humility isnt just being nice to everyone, as if positivity were humility -- like rich people fraudulently imagine and claim, but rather
Saving Humility BELIEVES: Salvation comes when you get lower than a social fornicator and prostitute, with enough brokenness and self-disregard to perceive that this woman is actually producing a virgin birth of God in her stomach! -- thats the humbled, pressed-down salvation of believing God on Earth!
So...
Pressed Down = Beyond Kindness into Saving FAITH
Lowliness Admires the Inspired
Crushed Identity: But Biblical humility is pressed down underneath others with self-sacrificing disregard and emptying of one's entire human identity to get a superhuman identity of inspired Truth where God has animated His favorite people with perfect obedience to everything he has said for your own salvation.
Admiring Obedience: Biblical humility presses itself down, so low, that it admires those who have been moved by God into inspired obedience, and places them properly above ones self to hope in salvation form God through them (just as God appointed).
Relationships & Redemption -- Broken by Pride
Atonement Needed: You have to enter into His redemptive atonement salvation from sin, and
Beggar ≠ Chooser: beggars can't be choosers, therefore
Beggars = Accept ALL Truth: only beggars are the ones that submit to His will and accept the Word of God no matter where it comes from, and
Rejoicing without Scandal: beggars have no problem immediately rejoicing in inspired obeyers by nature
Utter Brokenness: after beggars have come to the point of utter brokenness and complete self-denial, and have beat/lowered themselves down to the ground so that UP is the only direction to look
Upward Dependence: beggars only perspective is to look up and beg for help from the Truth that God has given them through inspired obeyers...
This point presupposes that
You realize/feel how vital humility is for salvation
You want to know how to prove that youre humble
You want to get to the root issue and escape the rebellion-apostasy
See: Down-Up Principle
Parable of the Sower -- Good Seed
Luk_8:8 But other seed fell into good ground, and when it grew up, it produced fruit a hundredfold." Saying these things He was calling out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"
Luk_8:8 καὶ
ἕτερον ἔπεσεν
εἰς τὴν γῆν
τὴν ἀγαθήν
καὶ φυὲν
ἐποίησε
καρπὸν
ἑκατονταπλασίονα.
ταῦτα λέγων
ἐφώνει· ὁ
ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν
ἀκουέτω.
Luk_8:8 και ετερον επεσεν BAεις TSεπι την γην την αγαθην και φυεν εποιησεν καρπον εκατονταπλασιονα ταυτα λεγων εφωνει ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
Luk_8:15 But that which fell on the good ground, these
are such who when they heard the word, with a noble and good heart, hold on to
it and bear fruit with endurance.
Luk_8:15 τὸ δὲ ἐν τῇ καλῇ γῇ, οὗτοί εἰσιν οἵτινες ἐν καρδίᾳ καλῇ καὶ ἀγαθῇ ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον κατέχουσι καὶ καρποφοροῦσιν ἐν ὑπομονῇ.
Are You Humble Yet?
Want Faith?: Do you want to believe in something more than this pitiful human life your flesh is experiencing?
Tired Yet?: Have you reached the end of your own human capability yet?
Got Humility?: Lacking self Lowliness is the root problem that keeps you from real life, Faith, romance, salvation
Lowly look up: If you want faith to move forward in life you've got to get low enough about yourself so you can look up and believe in the salvation you have put yourself underneath
Lacking Lowliness is the root problem & key issue.
You're not really stalling because righteous people aren't impressive to heaven or that they're not proven to be true logically - you stall because of your own bowels
2Co_6: Restricted in Your Own Bowels
2Co_6:11 CAB O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart has been opened wide.
2Co_6:11 Τὸ
στόμα ἡμῶν
ἀνέῳγε
πρὸς ὑμᾶς,
Κορίνθιοι, ἡ

2Co_6:12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.

2Co_6:13 Now in return for the same--I speak as to children--you also be opened wide.

2Co_6:13-18 Separate from the World!
Don't require leprosy plagues (like Naaman at first and Miriam temporarily) before you will come and ask the inspired monotheists for help - otherwise you're exactly like Pharaoh in Exodus 10 and the end times rebellion that gets destroyed for not listening to the plagues of the Two Witnesses.
Humility → Saving Faith
OR
Pride → Hell
Humility → Faith → Salvation/Heaven
Pride → Despising / Assuming Non-Inspiration → No Total-Bible-Obedience → Judgement/Condemnation/Hell
Pride = Opposite of Eager-Happy Faith in Gods Inspired Obedience
Biblical Humility =
Hebrew Implies: Oppressed, Needy, etc. Including
Greek: Pressed-Down & Poor-Begging
See: Humility Defined (above)
Lowered Perspective: It's a lot easier to stop thinking so bad about others when you lowered yourself sufficiently.
Deeper Humility: If you're struggling to forgive, then push yourself down lower.
No Entitlement: There is no entitlement to debtors and slaves (Rom_1, Rom_8; & see: BSSm).
Forgiveness Ground: Lowliness is where forgiveness happens
Cross Example: Jesus most extreme humility on the cross gave forgiveness to the whole world
Faith to Forgive: Can you have faith to forgive others if you imitate Jesus sacrifice?
No Entitlement
We Are Debtors
Rom_8:12 CAB Therefore, brothers, we are debtors [ὀφειλέται ἐσμέν]--not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

Rom_13:8 CAB Owe[ing] [ὀφείλετε] nothing to no one, except to love one another, for he who loves one another has fulfilled the law.

Luk_23:41 CAB And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this Man did nothing wrong."

1Jn_4:11 If he loved us this way, we ought to lay down our lives for each other
Joh_15:13 CAB Greater love has no one than this, that one should lay down his life on behalf of his friends.
Joh_15:13

Joh_15:14 υμεις φιλοι μου εστε εαν ποιητε Aα TSBοσα εγω εντελλομαι υμιν
1Jn_3:16 CAB By this we have come to know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives in behalf of our brothers.
1Jn_3:16 ἐν
τούτῳ
ἐγνώκαμεν

(Remember: We are debtors)
1Jn_4:11 NKJV Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
Us sacrificing like He sacrificed includes doing ATONEMNT/Satisfaction for others who have sinned against you!!!
See: SRP
Are you thinking negatively of others?
You're probably not thinking
humbly/lowly/ negatively enough about yourself...
But not only does Humility Forgive, it also ADMIRES
Faith Deficiency = Humility Deficiency: Lacking faith in obeyers is directly caused by lacking humility to acknowledge of your flesh's desolation.
Fleshly Lovelessness: Your flesh can't really Love people because It never acknowledges what God is saying about people
Value Rejection: Flesh rebels against admiring all real human value because it's not being honestly truthfully accurately scientifically crushed under crucifixion and brought under the subjection of Biblical revealed humility.
Lawless Flesh Against Favorites: Flesh does not listen to God's law much less does it ever care to hear His voice and His testimony about the value of people, and much less will it ever submit to believe God's highest praise of His favorite inspired obedient people.
Untaught Truth: We don't hear this Taught or talked about
Lack of Opportunities: We don't have opportunities to practice these virtues much today.
Rare Inspiration: There are not a lot of inspired people walking on the land, and therefore our pride is almost never addressed or convicted.
Apostasy Denial = Unrealistic: If You're tempted to deny modern universal desolation, then why else does Church virtually never teach this and never practice this?
Remapped Bible: We've remapped almost every Biblical teaching to something heretical to wrap the Bible around our experience instead of crucifying our experience to obey the Bible
Reality:
There's lots of room for admiring righteous obeyers

Obstruction of Cheerfulness: Are you struggling with clogged bowels so that it's hard to rejoice in the happiness of another person?
Faith Struggle: Are you struggling to have faith and what God is saying about people?
It is as simple as this:
You struggle to happily believe Truth in others because you neglect embracing the convincing conviction of desolation against your own flesh.
Gal_4:15 Where is the blessedness you spoke of?
Gal_4:13 CAB You know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the gospel to you the former time.
Gal_4:13 οἴδατε
δὲ ὅτι δι᾿
ἀσθενείαν
τῆς σαρκὸς
εὐηγγελισάμην
ὑμῖν τὸ
πρότερον,
Gal_4:13 οιδατε δε οτι δι ασθενειαν της σαρκος ευηγγελισαμην υμιν το προτερον
Gal_4:14 And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise nor disdain, but as an angel of God you received me, even as Christ Jesus.
Gal_4:14 καὶ
τὸν
πειρασμὸν μου
τὸν ἐν τῇ
σαρκί μου
οὐκ
ἐξουθενήσατε
οὐδὲ ἐξεπτύσατε,
ἀλλ᾿ ὡς
ἄγγελον Θεοῦ
ἐδέξασθέ
με, ὡς
Χριστὸν
᾿Ιησοῦν.
Gal_4:14 και τον πειρασμον Aυμων TSBμου TSBτον εν τη σαρκι μου ουκ εξουθενησατε ουδε εξεπτυσατε Aαλλα TSBαλλ ως αγγελον θεου εδεξασθε με ως χριστον ιησουν
Gal_4:15 What then was your blessing? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have torn out your own eyes and given them to me!
Gal_4:15 τίς οὖν
ἦν ὁ
μακαρισμὸς
ὑμῶν; μαρτυρῶ
γὰρ ὑμῖν
ὅτι εἰ
δυνατὸν τοὺς
ὀφθαλμοὺς
ὑμῶν
ἐξορύξαντες
ἂν ἐδώκατέ
μοι.
Gal_4:15 Aπου TSBτις ουν TSBην ο μακαρισμος υμων μαρτυρω γαρ υμιν οτι ει δυνατον τους οφθαλμους υμων εξορυξαντες TSBαν εδωκατε μοι
Gal_4:16 Have I therefore become your enemy by speaking the truth to you?
Gal_4:16 ὥστε
ἐχθρὸς
ὑμῶν γέγονα
ἀληθεύων
ὑμῖν;
It really is that simple:
You really can rejoice much quicker than you think you can

This is in fact the same as believing in people when God has spoken exciting happy things about them, and through them
Lay down clogged up bowels and unbelieving stubbornness and slow hearted unbelief and move forward with cheerful rejoicing when you let go and surrender to the Scriptures and Love people without restriction and rejoice in the goodness God is saying about them without the roadblocks of hypocrisy and desolation denial.
We don't like to believe this, but...

Paul Has Jesus Inspired Bowels inside of him, and appeals to the Philippians that they should also be inspired with God inside their bowels.
(C) RECOGNIZING God Inside!
Philippians 1-2 there's an amazing SHARING of Love and overflowing all around, over the top excitement into each other between Paul and the Philippians
Philippians 1 discernment compare 1Corinthians 9; 2 Corinthians
Perception = Seeing who is True and who is not
This holy PERCEPTION is praised by Isaiah & predicted by Malachi

How Great is Naomi?
Proof Demanded: Rebels have always acted like an obeyer needs prove their worthiness, by miracles strength exaltations in this life, before a pervert will willingly follow.
Flesh Distortion: Flesh acts like obeyers are so different than the heroes in the Bible
Dismissive Comparison: Youre not Paul the Apostle says the anti-Bible pervert
Forgotten Faith: Why doesnt anyone seem to remember that the same saving faith Ruth had, we all need to apprehend be saved, just like the dog woman???
Allow Disagreements?
Different motivations are different spirits
What if an obeyer lets you go and says, you are free to believe whatever you want -- are you willing to go to your own gods???
Ruth & Naomi Apply to YOU! -- Take Action!
Naomi = Bible
Connection: Admiring Naomi is where your life gets connected to the
adventure story of the Bible because Naomi's about to put you in the genealogy
of Jesus Anointed One (Rth_1:15-17; Rth_4:11-22; Mat_1:5, Mat_1:16; Luk_3:23, Luk_3:32).
Dont Neglect Begging: Why aren't you begging like these women begged?
Moabite Identity Realization: Don't you realize you're a Moabite?
Phoenician Identity Realization: Don't you realize you're a Phoenician?
Begging Deficiency: Lacking Ruths begging is the root core issue why we have such endless rebellion, apostasy, and Bible disobedience today
Church Contrast: No Begging is the reason the Bible is so immeasurably different from Church today
The Point: Stop thinking you are better than a dog and start having real faith instead, like these heroic amazing women of faith, and all the other Biblical heroes of real salvation did!
Climactic Desperation: Desperation to admit you have a problem and cry out for help and even believe those whom God has inspired to save you, climaxes with Jesus,
Ongoing Need: Jesus vindicates all the OT heroes, but
Ongoing: this need to admit your desolation and cry out to inspired savior does NOT end with Jesus proclamation in the New Covenant
Misused Reputation: Stop using Jesus's reputation as a means to make faith in God's inspiration meaningless (on earth in our day and age).
Present Faith: YOU Need to cry out for inspired help in front of you, and believe those whom God has inspired to save you, just like they did in the Bible

2Sa_2:4 Judah anoints David (partial acceptance)
2Sa_5:1-3 All Israel comes in need (full recognition after struggle)
David accused of pride (1Sa_17:28-29) -- just Like Moses was blasphemed (Num_12:3)
Just like Jesus says He was humble (seen below) -- and they though Jesus was crazy (Mar_3:21; Joh_10:20 Joh_7:5).
See: Meekness of Anointed One -- Mat_11:29; 2Co_10:1, etc.
>>Scrip:
They Though Jesus Was Crazy
Mar_3:21 NKJV But when His own people heard about this, they went out to lay hold of Him, for they said, He is out of His mind.
Joh_10:20 NKJV And many of them said, He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?
Joh_7:5 NKJV For even His brothers did not believe in Him.
Do they really KNOW David?
Do Davids brothers Love David for who God says he is?
Are they assuming non-inspiration?
Whats wrong with the identity issue here?
Remember: God said:
I have rejected Him -- to David's oldest Brother
This is real discernment that virtually no one has today!
Flesh Rejects God & God rejects Flesh
(i) Stone Rejected -- by Flesh
God choses what the flesh rejects:
Psa_118:22 WEB The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.

1Sa_16:7 WEB But Yahweh said to Samuel, "Don't look on his face, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him: for Yahweh sees not as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart."

WARNING: God is REJECTING YOU if you despise humbled inspiration like David! -- the BIBLE says so! -- LEARN from Miriam!
How are we ever going to know humility, Truth, how to love people, or anything else until we conquer this injustice and attrocity???
Even though Davids brothers have been brought low by the philistines, they are still not ready to logically and willingly believe morality until visual proof is forced on them
Some people would rather kill themselves than get discipled by the Truth
We need to begin understanding desolation (the evil of your flesh) in this way

1Sa_25:17 WEB Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house: for he is such a worthless fellow that one can't speak to him.
1Sa_25:17 And now consider what you will do; for mischief is determined against our master and against his house; for he is a son of Belial, and no one can speak to him.

1Sa_25:34 WEB For in very deed, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from hurting you, except you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn't have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.
1Sa_25:34 But surely as the Lord God of Israel lives, who hindered me this day from doing you harm, if you had not hastened and come to meet me, then I said, Surely there shall not be one male left to Nabal till the morning.
1Sa_25:34 πλὴν ὅτι

2Ch_34:19-27 Josiah Humbled Himself (soft heart)
2Ki_22:14-16 / 2Ch_34:22 Josiah sough Huldah the prophetess (2Ch_34:27-28)
Hidden Admiration: When youre really humble, you will also admire believe and seek out the humble woman sitting in her house who happens to also be a prophetess.
Ignored Obeyers: Are you ignoring inspired Obeyers today whom God wants to speak to you through?
Preemptive Obedience: Don't wait for God to punish you with unbearable afflictions before you get desperate enough to obey Him, and believe the True, righteous, humble, Bible obeyers He has approved of today.
Josiah Response: READ the Bible like Josiah did and Abraham indirectly teaches us to do in Luk_16 -- and repent to not go to the place of torment and ongoing rejection!
The Point: Go ahead and afflict yourself if you have to, but by all means get low enough so that you automatically seek out the unpopular and hidden Obey-ALL-the-Bible Truth that you need to be saved today!

So...
If all of this is true, then what are you waiting for?
Go ahead and empty yourself!
Become a nobody!
You've got nothing to lose, except your rotting pride
Unless indeed you think that you're worth saving more than Jesus was when He was in the form of the Word of God...
Pray...
Make me invisible to The flesh
Make me a nobody
Because I am nobody in this life
Separate yourself to the romantic holiness of a New identity exclusively within God's exaltation
Naaman proves that Humility Admires Obeyers
Direct Applications from Direct Obedience
You might be surprised at how many hidden, personal, direct applications Naamans Story has for our lives if we finally just directly obey his example and imitate what he learned!
QUESTION
What applications from Naaman can you think of that apply directly to our lives today?
(A) Naamans Story is about
Humility
Faith
Monotheism vs Paganism -- right/good faith vs. pagan superstition
Previews of the New Covenant: as some say: the OT is the NT concealed, & the NT is the OT Revealed
Sickness & Sin: Sickness as a picture of sin and the fallen human condition (as it often is in the Scriptures)
Healing & Salvation: Healing as a picture of salvation, which specifically includes conversion in this story.
(B) Less Recognized Themes
Who is Jesus in the
End-Times??
i.e. 2Ti_3 (Scriptures = Wise Salvation of Jesus); 2Co_3 4 (no veiled
reading); 1Co_2 (got to be spiritual to get it); etc.
Baptism-Discipleship
Repent of (A) Assuming non-inspiration & (B) Self-determination/Self-assertion
Our need to pass Naamans test! -- Do the exact same virtue Naaman Did! -- find out rood & demand we need to get saved by it
See: DTA > Baptism ≈ Discipleship
Discipleship-Training-Apprenticeship.htm#BaptismIsDiscipleship
Missing the Moral
Various people have noticed the general and easy themes, and yet almost no one has gotten the moral to the story and actually applied it to our modern lives with conviction sufficient to repent -- which is why we need to carefully take the Less Recognized Themes to heart so we can finally OBEY the moral to Naamans Story.
The Point: OBEY Naamans Morality!
Baptism Conversion
So
Lets consider this example of a pagan Celebrity who struggled to get converted in Baptism
Some might naively respond: Baptism? That is not mentioned anywhere in this story in MY Bible!
thats a bit nave, so lets take some warning and take a look at the Truth
OBEY Naamans Morality!
Naamans depths help illustrate how the Old Testament applies in deeper ways to us today.
Niemann's depths help show us how to read the Old Testament and apply it directly to our lives today.
Increased Depth & Application
Parables Pregnant with Depth: When you see things like baptism in the Old Testament, and other similar and or related ideas that are discussed further in the New Testament, then you can be sure they are pregnant with a prediction that foreshadows the increased morality that directly applies to us, in even more depth of the New Covenant.
Stricter: Obedience = is INCREASED relevance to us, not decreased by dispensationalism! (Mat_5:17-20, etc.)
Healing & Discipleship -- Deeper Applications For US
Healing * from Sin & Sickness: Naaman was simultaneously healed from sinful pride, as well as his sickness of skin disease -- at the same time.
A Parable Can Save: Healing is a parable, and in this case Naaman particularly got the point of spiritual salvation -- are we getting/understanding it???
Our Needed Healing: what is our shame that we need to be healed of???
Baptism Implies Discipleship ** in the New Covenant: just as Naaman was baptized under Elisha, as a picture of better things to come (Heb_8:6; Heb_9:11-12), so also we need to get baptism-discipleship to learn the Truth of New Covenant obedience today.
Testimony Required Now ***: Naaman did not have a required testimony to bring back to his king, kingdom, and people however now disciples are required to be discipled into testifying to all nations, which requires a lot of teaching, learning, and discipleship!

Conviction Needed -- from the Deeper Moral Obedience
Different Truth: If you dont say Truth differently than typical church people that are going to hell, you & your hearers will not be saved. (1Ti_4:16)
1Ti_4:16 Save yourself and your hears
1Ti_4:16
NKJV Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing
this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
Act_2:40
NKJV And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, Be
saved from this perverse generation.
Jam_5:20
NKJV let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will
save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.
See: People Save People
Criminal Flattery: Teaching Naaman just like a child molester in church teaches this as a Sunday School Story will only enable more unsaved religious crimes until you finally demand the real obedience to all of these Biblical examples!
Unflattering Salvation: When you finally stop flattering church people and promoting generic churchy summaries of the Bible -- that is when people can finally be saved
Convicting Truth: You need to CONVICT church molesters as GUILTY by describing the Truth of the Bible so Truthfully that the criminal is CONVICTED as totally guilty and no longer gets emboldened with church flattery and superficial stories.
Separate from World = Religious people, not just secular society
2Co_6: come out from THEM
Rev_17 18 -- come out from HER
Appreciate the VALUE of sinners. (i.e. unconditional human value)
Dont enjoy the COMPANY of those whose heart doesnt enjoy Jesus presence in prayer

Rev_18:8 CAB "On account of this her plagues will come in one day--death, sorrow, and famine. And she shall be burned with fire, for strong [ἰσχυρὸς] is the Lord God who has judged her.

Bible Basics = Stop sinning / Repentance form Dead works
(Heb_6:1)
You do not have the forgiveness of the New Covenant at
all until you stop dead works to serve the living God! (Heb_9:14)
Youre not even getting Spiritual Milk without stopping
sinning.
Until sinners are convicted and repenting of dead works
-- you do NOT even have the elementary milk of the word -- your totally out
in heresy!
(As said in SRP, as seen below)
And We need the deeper lessons from Naaman to point us to saving faith in the real Jesus!
SRP: Conviction Works!
Joh_16:8 Convicting Spirit Who is Holy
Jer_23:22 WEB But if they had stood in my council, then had they caused my people to hear my words, and had turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
Jer_23:22 LB But if they had stood in My counsel, and if they had hearkened to My words, then would they have turned My people from their evil practices.
Jer_23:22 καὶ εἰ
ἔστησαν ἐν τῇ

Col_2:23 These things indeed have a reputation of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and severity on the body, but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.

Heb_8:4 For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;

Heb_8:5 who [οἵτινες] serve [λατρεύουσι] a copy [ὑποδείγματι] and shadow [σκιᾷ] of the heavenly things, just as Moses had been warned when he was about to complete the tabernacle, for He says, "See, you shall make all things according to the pattern shown to you on the mountain."

Conscience Cleaned from Dead Works -- is Needed!
Heb_9:13 CAB For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling those having been defiled, sanctifies for the purity of the flesh,
Heb_9:13 εἰ γὰρ
τὸ αἷμα

Heb_9:14 by how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, will cleanse your conscience from dead works in order that we might serve the living God?
Heb_9:14 πόσῳ

Copies, Types-placed-Next-to
Heb_9:23 CAB Therefore it was necessary that the copies [ὑποδείγματα] of the things in the heavens to be continually purified with these, but the heavenly things [τὰ ἐπουράνια] themselves by better [κρείττοσι] sacrifices than these.
Heb_9:23
᾿Ανάγκη οὖν

Heb_9:23 αναγκη ουν τα μεν υποδειγματα των εν τοις ουρανοις τουτοις καθαριζεσθαι αυτα δε τα επουρανια κρειττοσιν θυσιαις παρα ταυτας
Heb_9:24
For Christ did not enter into the holies
made by hands, which are copies [ἀντίτυπα
anti-tipes; i.e. types placed next to] of the true, but into
heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf;
Heb_9:24 οὐ γὰρ

Shadow -- without An Icon-Image
Heb_10:1 CAB For the law having a shadow [Σκιὰν] of the good things to come [τῶν μελλόντων ἀγαθῶν], and not the image itself [οὐκ αὐτὴν τὴν εἰκόνα] of the things [τῶν πραγμάτων], can never with the same sacrifices, which they offer continually every year, make those approaching perfect [τοὺς προσερχομένους τελειῶσαι].
Heb_10:1 Σκιὰν
γὰρ ἔχων ὁ
νόμος τῶν
μελλόντων
ἀγαθῶν, οὐκ

Heb_10:1 σκιαν γαρ εχων ο νομος των μελλοντων αγαθων ουκ αυτην την εικονα των πραγματων κατ ενιαυτον ταις αυταις θυσιαις ας προσφερουσιν εις το διηνεκες ουδεποτε Bδυνανται TSAδυναται τους προσερχομενους τελειωσαι
Heb_10:2 Otherwise they would not have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, once purified [ἅπαξ Aκεκαθαρισμενους TSBκεκαθαρμένους], would have had no more consciousness of sins [τὸ μηδεμίαν ἔχειν ἔτι συνείδησιν ἁμαρτιῶν].
Heb_10:2 ἐπεὶ
οὐκ ἂν

διὰ τὸ

Filling that Upgrades
The Shadow, Copy, Form of the Law is filled up/Fulfilled in Mat_5:17-20.
Heb_7:12 CAB For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there occurs a change of law also.
Heb_7:12
μετατιθεμένης
γὰρ τῆς
ἱερωσύνης ἐξ
ἀνάγκης καὶ
νόμου
μετάθεσις
γίνεται.
We need to ask for help like Naaman did & we need to overcome our setbacks like he was helped to do
Naaman asked for Help, but virtually all church people havent even sacrificed so much as to leave our pagan land/heritage/identity, and most church people havent really even asked for help!
Right Here!: We must reverence Truth right in front of us, like Naaman did.
Repent: Leave apostate rebellions of independence
Obey the Parallels: Saving Wisdom Recognizes & Obeys Moral Similarities/Applications
Repent of Discontinuity: We imagine that there's a difference between obey era today and Elijah, women like there's no real principle difference between obeyers today and Naomi and inspired Moses before he was exalted.
Warning: Watch out and beware!
Luk_8:18 CAB Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, more shall be given to him; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him."
Luk_8:18
βλέπετε οὖν

ὃς ἐὰν μὴ ἔχῃ,

Heart Meditations:
Listen to some clean exhortations and Bible obedient considerations about
Naaman & YOURSELF!
Conviction, Not Entertainment: These accounts in the Scriptures are not there for your mere entertainment (like the empty fairytales which church makes them) but these Biblical examples are recorded for us to convict and prick our flesh as guilty, so that we can wholeheartedly earnestly change in zealous repentance to come and the faith of the authoritative Word of God (Tit_2:15; 2Ti_3 4)
Obey the Example:
We need to CHANGE when reading these stories -- so lets embrace full obedience
to the implications of what Naamans example is teaching us!
2Ki_5:1 Naaman =
Mighty Leper Commander -- the Aramean/Aramaean/Syrian (from Aram/Syria)
2Ki_5:2-4 Jewish Captive girl points to prophet
2Ki_5:5-7 King of Syria sends letter; King of Israel
distressed [so un-noble/unimportant, hes not named; Jehoram/Joram,
son of Ahab? -- says schollars]
2Ki_5:8 Elisha * calls Naaman to
come [* el (God) and yasha (to save) ≈ "God is
my salvation]
2Ki_5:9-10 Wash in Jordan -- Simple command
2Ki_5:11-12 Naaman angry; expects grandeur/intuitive
performance (but no emotions/psychology-manipulation/performance needed!)
2Ki_5:13 Try it! -- Servants urge humble obedience
2Ki_5:14 Washes; flesh restored (clean as child)
2Ki_5:15-16 Confesses/Embraces Biblical God
(Monotheism); Gifts/Rewards/Payment refused
2Ki_5:17-19 Requests soil/dirt; commits to exclusive
worship of Israels God
2Ki_5:20-24 Gehazi covets; lies for gain
2Ki_5:25-26 Elisha exposes hidden greed
2Ki_5:27 Leprosy transferred to Gehazi
See: MOS > Leprosy ≈ Death
Moses-Greatness.htm#LeprosyIsDeath
Notice that calm commands can only be
given in public (2Ki_5:9-10)
with power and authority (2Ki_5:14)
when you are crying your eyes out and wrestling in private prayer (1Ki_18 vs. 1Ki_19; & Jam_5:18)
Elijah vs. Prophets of Baal -- Calm
Initial Confrontation
Elijah Also Offered Calm & Powerful
Words (Foreshadowing Elisha and Jesus)
1Ki_18:21
NKJV And Elijah came to all the people, and said, How long will you falter
between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.
1Ki_18:24
NKJV Then you call on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the
LORD; and the God who answers by fire, He is God
1Ki_18:36
NKJV And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice,
that Elijah the prophet came near and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and
Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel
1Ki_18:38
NKJV Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice
1Ki_18:39
NKJV Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said,
The LORD, He is God! The LORD, He is God!
Elijah was very calm when asking for a
miracle, compared to Prophets of Baal, but thats because Elijah had a life of
private fervency in prayer
Elijah Prays Fervently
Rain Prayer
Prayer
and fasting afterward
1Ki_18:41 WEB Elijah said to Ahab, Get up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.
1Ki_18:41 LB And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, and eat and drink, for there is a sound of the coming of rain.
1Ki_18:41 Καὶ
εἶπεν Ηλιου τῷ
Αχααβ Ἀνάβηθι
καὶ φάγε καὶ
πίε, ὅτι φωνὴ
τῶν ποδῶν τοῦ
ὑετοῦ.
1Ki_18:42 WEB So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down on the earth, and put his face between his knees.
1Ki_18:42 And Ahab went up to eat and to drink; and Elijah went up to Carmel, and stooped to the ground, and put his face between his knees,
1Ki_18:42 καὶ
ἀνέβη Αχααβ
τοῦ φαγεῖν καὶ
πιεῖν, καὶ
Ηλιου ἀνέβη
ἐπὶ τὸν
Κάρμηλον καὶ
ἔκυψεν ἐπὶ τὴν
γῆν καὶ ἔθηκεν
τὸ πρόσωπον
ἑαυτοῦ ἀνὰ
μέσον τῶν
γονάτων ἑαυτο
Jam_5:17
NKJV Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it
would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
Jam_5:18
NKJV And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its
fruit.
Fasting for Sini Revelation
1Ki_19:1-21 fasting zealously in the wilderness after Victory over Baal
2Ki_5:10 WEB Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times [i.e. like Lev_14:7 (7 Sprinkles to clean leper) -- & just as Elijah was synchronized with the Arronic Priesthood in 1Ki_18:36 MT], and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean.
2Ki_5:10 LB And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash [λοῦσαι] seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh shall return to you, and you shall be cleansed.
2Ki_5:10 καὶ
ἀπέστειλεν
Ελισαιε
ἄγγελον πρὸς
αὐτὸν λέγων
Πορευθεὶς
λοῦσαι
ἑπτάκις ἐν τῷ
Ιορδάνῃ, καὶ
ἐπιστρέψει ἡ
σάρξ σού σοι,
καὶ
καθαρισθήσῃ.
2Ki_5:11 WEB But Naaman was angry, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought [vs. Lev_14:7; 1Ki_18:36], He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand over the place, and recover the leper.
2Ki_5:11 But Naaman became furious, and went away and said, Behold, I said to myself, He will by all means come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of his God, and lay his hand upon the place, and heal [ἀποσυνάξει] the leprosy.
2Ki_5:11 καὶ
ἐθυμώθη
Ναιμαν καὶ
ἀπῆλθεν καὶ
εἶπεν Ἰδοὺ δὴ
ἔλεγον ὅτι
ἐξελεύσεται
πρός με καὶ στήσεται
καὶ
ἐπικαλέσεται
ἐν ὀνόματι
θεοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ
ἐπιθήσει τὴν
χεῖρα αὐτοῦ
ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον
καὶ ἀποσυνάξει
τὸ λεπρόν·
2Ki_5:12 WEB Aren't Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
2Ki_5:12 Are not the Abanah and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than [ἀγαθὸςὑπὲρ Ιορδάνην] all the waters of Israel? May I not go and wash in them, and be cleansed? And he turned and went away in a rage.
2Ki_5:12 οὐχὶ
ἀγαθὸς Αβανα
καὶ Φαρφαρ
ποταμοὶ Δαμασκοῦ
ὑπὲρ Ιορδάνην
καὶ πάντα τὰ
ὕδατα Ισραηλ; οὐχὶ
πορευθεὶς
λούσομαι ἐν
αὐτοῖς καὶ
καθαρισθήσομαι;
καὶ ἐξέκλινεν
καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐν
θυμῷ.
2Ki_5:13 WEB His servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, My father, if the prophet had asked you do some great thing, wouldn't you have done it? how much rather then, when he says to you, Wash, and be clean?
2Ki_5:13 And his servants [παῖδες] came near and said to him, Suppose the prophet had spoken a great thing to you, would you not perform it? Yet he has but said to you, Wash, and be cleansed.
2Ki_5:13 καὶ
ἤγγισαν οἱ
παῖδες αὐτοῦ
καὶ ἐλάλησαν
πρὸς αὐτόν
Μέγαν λόγον
ἐλάλησεν ὁ
προφήτης πρὸς
σέ, οὐχὶ
ποιήσεις; καὶ
ὅτι εἶπεν πρὸς
σέ Λοῦσαι καὶ
καθαρίσθητι.
2Ki_5:14 WEB Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh came again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
2Ki_5:14 So Naaman went down, and dipped himself [ἐβαπτίσατο] seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of Elisha; and his flesh returned to him as the flesh of a little child, and he was cleansed.
2Ki_5:14 καὶ
κατέβη Ναιμαν
καὶ
ἐβαπτίσατο ἐν
τῷ Ιορδάνῃ
ἑπτάκι κατὰ τὸ
ῥῆμα Ελισαιε,
καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν
ἡ σὰρξ αὐτοῦ
ὡς σὰρξ
παιδαρίου
μικροῦ, καὶ ἐκαθαρίσθη.
Warning: Watch out and beware!
Naaman was Tested -- & Were on Trial!
Invisible Hand of
Providence: Naaman didnt know the God of Israel Who
gave him pagan victory. -- same as Pharaoh (for this reason I raised you up
-- Exo_9:16/Rom_9:17 ), and just like church people prospering today -- pagans dont
know who gives them success!
Famous Strength:
Naamans success had been marked by strength and mighty acts.
Unbeatable War:
Naaman could not defeat leprosy/sickness -- even though it is so much smaller
than all of the other enemies he defeated -- Gods army is often small in this
age (see: Gods Army of Bugs -- below)
Negative:
Naaman was angry at first -- Flustered, Upset, disappointed, frustrated,
Because he was
Rich: Naaman was
angry -- Being strong and rich empowers you to get angry without moral &
logical reasons, or clean justifications
Superiority:
better than all the waters of Israel (2Ki_5:12)
= Root Self-identity pride issue that keeps us from getting low and saved.
Inferiority Needed
Your flesh is NOT better than monotheisms
lowliness!
See: The Weakness of God
Naaman Got Inferiority
Estranged: Naaman
was not familiar with this Inferiority Wisdom, and despite all his earthly
strength
Leprosy Was His
Salvation: He was a leper (2Ki_5:1) -- Leprosy was Naamans Only Tip
on How to Get Saving Inferiority/lowliness
Your Only Lifeline:
Troubles in this life are often your only life line and chance of salvation --
embrace it fast and mighty before you forget and are destroyed!
Smallest Prioritized:
Listen to a little Girl.
Travel Sacrifice:
Leave your pagan land.
External Hope:
Prefer Truth outside of, and possibly even contradictory to, your heritage in
order to be saved.
Not By Might *:
Doing a mighty thing sounded great to Naaman -- Strength was his whole life!
Not For Sale:
Naaman could not even buy his healing (2Ki_5:13) -- & Elisha would not so
much as even go out and see the impressive social sight!
Belittled Water:
Getting humble in the Jordan river was so small and beneath him, & yet
Humbled Water:
Getting LOW is the only path to conquer what is too profound for you to defeat.
Tech Can Stumble Us:
Doctors are nice, but we also increase in pride when we are not afflicted (i.e.
humble) -- so take warning that we risk not being saved with Naaman when
humans reach the height of achievement like we have today
Modern Desolation:
We are further away from Truth in our land of prosperity than Naaman was in
pagan Syria.
Humbled Limitations:
Beggars cant be choosers -- so stay inside of the boundaries of your
saving identity as a beggar!
Naaman = Dog?:
Naaman Test is comparable to the Dog Womans test. (Like-a-Dog Test)
Deeper Testing for
US/YOU: Are you willing for
obeyers/monotheists/inspired people to test your heart deeper
than you thought was necessary? -- No Self-directed learning allowed here!
Are You
Self-Respecting?: Do you think you are better than an
Aramean/Syrian (i.e. Naaman)?
Low = Miracle: no
miracle would have happened to Naaman if he had not been brought low by
leprosy, and cooperatively got low in the immersing / baptismal Waters of the
Jordan
See: A Good Heart -- Wants to
Admire/Believe
Sickness Needed?:
Do you need leprosy before you will get eager toward
obeyers/monotheists/inspired obeyers?
Are you Asking for
Punishment?: Is affliction the only way, time you get
low and less than others?
Skin Plagues that Save
Miriam, Naaman, King, etc. -- The Sin of
your Skin can be Struck with Plagues to enable/activate faith in God
Sin is Struck with Plagues to have faith
in God.
1Ki_13:4-6 Unnamed Prophet Shrivels
Hand
1Ki_13:3 WEB He gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which Yahweh has spoken: Behold, the altar shall be torn, and the ashes that are on it shall be poured out.
1Ki_13:3 LB And in that day one shall give a sign, saying, This is the word which the Lord has spoken, saying, Behold, the altar shall be split apart, and the fatness upon it shall be poured out.

1Ki_13:4 WEB It happened, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. His hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to him.
1Ki_13:4 And it came to pass when King Jeroboam heard the words of the man of God who called on the altar that was in Bethel, that the king stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying, Take hold of him. And behold, his hand which he stretched forth against him withered, and he could not draw it back to himself.
1Ki_13:4 καὶ
ἐγένετο ὡς
ἤκουσεν ὁ
βασιλεὺς Ιεροβοαμ
τῶν λόγων τοῦ
ἀνθρώπου τοῦ
θεοῦ τοῦ
ἐπικαλεσαμένου
ἐπὶ τὸ

τὸ ἐν Βαιθηλ,
καὶ ἐξέτεινεν
ὁ βασιλεὺς τὴν
χεῖρα αὐτοῦ
ἀπὸ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου
λέγων
Συλλάβετε
αὐτόν· καὶ
ἰδοὺ ἐξηράνθη
ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ,
ἣν ἐξέτεινεν
ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ
οὐκ ἠδυνήθη
ἐπιστρέψαι αὐτὴν
πρὸς ἑαυτόν,
1Ki_13:5 WEB The altar also was torn, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of Yahweh.
1Ki_13:5 And the altar was split apart, and the fatness was poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God gave by the word of the Lord.
1Ki_13:5 καὶ τὸ

ἐξεχύθη ἡ

κατὰ τὸ τέρας,
ὃ ἔδωκεν ὁ
ἄνθρωπος τοῦ

1Ki_13:6 WEB The king answered the man of God, Entreat now the favor of Yahweh your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. The man of God entreated Yahweh, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.
1Ki_13:6 And King Jeroboam said to the man of God, Entreat the Lord your God, and let my hand be restored to me. And the man of God entreated the Lord, and He restored the king's hand to him, and it became as before.
1Ki_13:6 καὶ

What Follows: the Man of God refuses to
eat with the King, partly like Elisha refuses gifts from Naaman.
Love at a Distance
Notice the probation the prophet gave the
king (refuses to eat) -- which was from Gods command, not the personal
preference or personality of the prophet
See: Impossible Adventure > Not By Might
Now lets consider Our Reactions
Repent of Independence:
Perverse self-direction/Self-determination/Self-governance is exactly why Jesus
says you must be converted as children to get the kingdom (as in Mat_18 quoted below)
Cult:
Repent of being a one-man cult -- loyally following one leader, even if hes
not logical, and treating his uninspired soul as if hes inspired -- thats YOU
/ Your Flesh!
Adult = Hell:
the self-directed learning of the adult learner leads straight to hell -
because you cannot lead yourself into Gods inspired salvation and tell Him
what to do with it when He speaks to you through a person underneath you
(2Ki_5:12).
Notice that I re-added that last part that rebellious church
virtually always keeps removing to cut off all hope of Truth saving you!
Stop Being an Unsaved
Adult: An adult Learner is NOT a Kingdom
Disciple!
Submit to Salvation,
Dont Lead it!: Externally Authoritative Teaching = What
You Need to Submit to, in order to be
saved.
External Clean
Authority Needed: If you cannot be externally directed by
authoritative inspired obedience, you cannot be saved.
The Source Doesnt
Matter: IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE Where the Word of
God comes from, as long as it is OBEYING ALL the Bible: (1) hearing God
yourself in prayer (which is rare in our desolate age of revelation-famine),
(2) the voice of a canonical-inspired obeyer, or (3) Directly Obeying the Bible
itself -- as the vital saving proof of what spirits are right to listen to --
you must be externally directed to be saved
Objecting to Loss of
Control = Hell: You are angry because you cannot control
the way Truth has so often, sovereignly decided/prescribed to save you through
someone less than / beneath you! -- a little girl with Naaman, and the least
of these my brothers in Mat_25:
Preventive Obedience:
Do you need a plague to happen before you will believe God on earth?
Sick from Not Recognizing Obeyers
1Co_11:30 CAB Because of this many among you are weak and sick, and many have died.
1Co_11:30 διὰ
τοῦτο ἐν
ὑμῖν πολλοὶ
ἀσθενεῖς
καὶ ἄρρωστοι
καὶ
κοιμῶνται
ἱκανοί.
1Co_11:30 δια τουτο εν υμιν πολλοι ασθενεις και αρρωστοι και κοιμωνται ικανοι
1Co_11:31 For if we judge ourselves correctly, we would not be judged.
1Co_11:31 εἰ γὰρ
ἑαυτοὺς
διεκρίνομεν,
οὐκ ἂν
ἐκρινόμεθα·
1Co_11:31 ει Aδε TSBγαρ εαυτους διεκρινομεν ουκ αν εκρινομεθα
1Co_11:32 But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, in order that we may not be condemned with the world.
1Co_11:32
κρινόμενοι
δὲ ὑπὸ τοῦ
Κυρίου
παιδευόμεθα,
ἵνα μὴ σὺν

κατακριθῶμεν.
1Co_11:32 κρινομενοι δε υπο Aτου κυριου παιδευομεθα ινα μη συν τω κοσμω κατακριθωμεν
Amo_8:11-13 A famine of hearing the
Words of God
Amo_8:9 WEB It will happen in that day," says the Lord Yahweh, "that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
Amo_8:9 LB And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord God, that the sun shall go down at noon, and the light shall be darkened on the earth by day;
Amo_8:9 καὶ

Amo_8:10 WEB I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.
Amo_8:10 and I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head; and I will make them as the mourning of a beloved friend, and those with them as a day of grief.

Amo_8:11 WEB Behold, the days come," says the Lord Yahweh, "that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Yahweh.
Amo_8:11 Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that I will send forth a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the word of the Lord.

Amo_8:12 WEB They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the word of Yahweh, and will not find it.
Amo_8:12 And the waters shall be troubled from sea to sea, and from the north to the east shall men run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord, and they shall not find it.
Amo_8:12 καὶ

Mat_25: The Least Of These My Brothers
Mat_25:40 CAB "And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least [ἐλαχίστων] of these My brothers, you did it to Me.'
Mat_25:40 καὶ
ἀποκριθεὶς
ὁ βασιλεὺς
ἐρεῖ αὐτοῖς·
ἀμὴν λέγω
ὑμῖν, ἐφ᾿
ὅσον ἐποιήσατε
ἑνὶ τούτων
τῶν ἀδελφῶν
μου τῶν ἐλαχίστων,
ἐμοὶ
ἐποιήσατε.
Mat_25:41 CAB "Then He will also say to those on the left, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels:
Mat_25:41 Τότε
ἐρεῖ καὶ
τοῖς ἐξ
εὐωνύμων·
πορεύεσθε
ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ
οἱ

Mat_25:45 CAB "Then He will answer them, saying, 'Assuredly I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, neither did you do it to Me.'
Mat_25:45 τότε
ἀποκριθήσεται
αὐτοῖς
λέγων· ἀμὴν
λέγω ὑμῖν,
ἐφ᾿ ὅσον οὐκ

Mat_25:45 τοτε αποκριθησεται αυτοις λεγων αμην λεγω υμιν εφ οσον ουκ εποιησατε ενι τουτων των ελαχιστων ουδε εμοι εποιησατε
Mat_25:46 "And these shall go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
Mat_25:46 καὶ
ἀπελεύσονται
οὗτοι εἰς
κόλασιν
αἰώνιον, οἱ

αἰώνιον.
Crimes against the least
brothers/obeyers (Mat_25:40;
Mat_25:45)
INCLUDES UNBELIEF!!! (despising, assuming, etc.)
i.e. as much as you have not believed the
least [ἐλαχίστων]
of these My brothers, you did it to Jesus!
When you despise Moses, and even obeyers
less than him (as seen above), and dont believe they are inspired until they
prove it with miracles, then you are directly despising Jesus! -- thats
exactly what Mat_25 is saying!
Naamans healing-salvation was:
Flesh restored as a little CHILD -- the
physical parable speaks volumes to what kind of good and clean salvation he
got!
Mat_18:2 CAB Then Jesus called a little child, and set him in their midst,
Mat_18:2 καὶ
προσκαλεσάμενος
ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς
παιδίον
ἔστησεν
αὐτὸ ἐν
μέσῳ αὐτῶν
Mat_18:2 και προσκαλεσαμενος TSBο TSBιησους παιδιον εστησεν αυτο εν μεσω αυτων
Mat_18:3 and said, "Assuredly I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you shall by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Mat_18:3 καὶ
εἶπεν· ἀμὴν
λέγω ὑμῖν,
ἐὰν μὴ
στραφῆτε καὶ
γένησθε ὡς
τὰ παιδία,
οὐ μὴ
εἰσέλθητε
εἰς τὴν
βασιλείαν
τῶν οὐρανῶν.
Mat_18:3 και ειπεν αμην λεγω υμιν εαν μη στραφητε και γενησθε ως τα παιδια ου μη εισελθητε εις την βασιλειαν των ουρανων
Mat_18:4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat_18:4 ὅστις
οὖν
ταπεινώσει
ἑαυτὸν ὡς
τὸ παιδίον
τοῦτο, οὗτός
ἐστιν ὁ
μείζων ἐν
τῇ
βασιλείᾳ
τῶν
οὐρανῶν.
Mat_18:4 οστις ουν BAταπεινωσει TSταπεινωση εαυτον ως το παιδιον τουτο ουτος εστιν ο μειζων εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων
Mat_18:5 And whoever receives one such little child in My name, receives Me.
Mat_18:5 καὶ ὃς
ἐὰν δέξηται
παιδίον
τοιοῦτον ἓν
ἐπὶ τῷ
ὀνόματί

(1) Simple Obedience?
Naaman's 'dips' are Like a Blind man being told to wash and be healed
My Mom said:
Until
last Sunday and this, I never thought of Naaman's 'dips' as a baptism. I thought of the dips as obedience to God through
Elisha, the prophet. I guessed that whatever Elisha had instructed him to
do, would have healed Naaman. Kind of like Jesus's instructions to the
blind man who's eyes has been anointed with clay/spittle.
5/11/26
Pending Consideration & Questions
Purpose: WHY do prophets tell people to do specific things to be save and or healed???
Authority -- Source: WHERE do they get their preferences from, and why are they so particular?
Truth is Not Arbitrary: A prophet cant tell people to just do any old thing, whatever they want, to be saved or healed.
Unique Identity: Inspired Instructions have to be for a specific particular reason, which specifically reverse the same reason why they have not been saved or healed up unto this point already on their own.
Joh_9 Jesus: Wash and be healed
Consider All the times Jesus said something like this
2Ki_5:10
NKJV And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan
seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean.
2Ki_5:14
NKJV So he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan and his flesh was
restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
Isa_1:16
NKJV Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings
from before My eyes
Joh_13:10
NKJV Jesus said to him, He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is
completely clean
Obey First! -- Then Understand?
Specific Obedience: Sometimes we have to do specific spiritual things to get specifically healed.
Strange Commands: But why are they so particular and maybe even weird sometimes?
Obey First: This is like the whole Bible: you OBEY first and you might understand later
Healing Revelation: This is a missing element of healing: it reveals something about who God is (thats why people typically cant get healed).
(2) Inspired Synchronization!
(A) [MT: Elijah Synchronized with Priesthood?
1Ki_18:36 WEB It happened at the time of the offering of the evening offering, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word.
1Ki_18:36 And Elijah cried aloud to the heavens, and said, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, answer me, O Lord, answer me this day by fire, and let all this people know that You are the Lord, the God of Israel, and that I am Your servant, and for Your sake I have done these works.
1Ki_18:36 καὶ
ἀνεβόησεν
Ηλιου εἰς τὸν
οὐρανὸν καὶ
εἶπεν Κύριε ὁ
θεὸς Αβρααμ
καὶ Ισαακ καὶ
Ισραηλ,
ἐπάκουσόν μου,
κύριε,
ἐπάκουσόν μου
σήμερον ἐν
πυρί, καὶ
γνώτωσαν πᾶς ὁ
λαὸς οὗτος ὅτι
σὺ εἶ κύριος ὁ
θεὸς Ισραηλ
κἀγὼ δοῦλός
σου καὶ διὰ σὲ
πεποίηκα τὰ
ἔργα ταῦτα.
At least the current Hebrew MT thinks of Elijah as Synchronized with the Levitical Priesthood.]
(B) 7 Dips = Leprosy Parallel Leviticus
2Ki_5:10 WEB Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean.
2Ki_5:10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh shall return to you, and you shall be cleansed.
2Ki_5:10 καὶ
ἀπέστειλεν

Elisha is Synchronized with the 7 sprinkles for leprosy in the Law
Lev_14:4 WEB then the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
Lev_14:4 LB And the priest shall give directions, and they shall take for him that is cleansed two clean live birds, and cedar wood, and spun scarlet, and hyssop.

Lev_14:7 WEB He shall sprinkle on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird go into the open field.
Lev_14:7 LB And he shall sprinkle seven times upon him that was cleansed of his leprosy, and he shall be clean; and he shall let go the living bird into the field.
Lev_14:7 καὶ

Lev_14:8 WEB "He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days.
Lev_14:8 And the man that has been cleansed shall wash his garments, and shall shave off all his hair, and shall wash himself in water, and shall be clean; and after that he shall go into the camp, and shall remain out of his house for seven days.

Note that the context of the cleansed leper includes animal sacrifices (including birds, lambs, etc.).
Then there are more sacrifices.
Lev_14:10 WEB "On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish, and three tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
Lev_14:10 LB And on the eighth day he shall take two lambs without spot of a year old, and one ewe lamp without spot of a year old, and three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour for sacrifice kneaded with oil, and one small cup of oil.

Now to Get Real Depp & Spiritual
Notice
Leviticus was a blood-based sacrificial atonement system
Naaman didn't give an animal sacrifice and the money he wanted to give was refused!
Naaman had the 7 times cleaning of Leviticus, but there was no animal picture of blood atonement!
Naaman didn't need a Leviticus 14 sacrifice (es) because instead of being sprinkled he was fully immersed, and full immersion does not require a picture of an animal sacrifice because immersion itself is joining to the real sacrifice of Jesus's death!
Rom 6, etc.
Jesus Synchronized with the Law
Luk_17:14 Jesus was also synchronized with the Law of God for Leprous healing
Luk_17:12 CAB Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood at a distance.
Luk_17:12 καὶ
εἰσερχομένου
αὐτοῦ εἴς
τινα κώμην

Luk_17:12 και εισερχομενου αυτου εις τινα κωμην απηντησαν Aαυτω TSBαυτω δεκα λεπροι ανδρες οι εστησαν πορρωθεν
Luk_17:13 And they lifted their voice and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
Luk_17:13 καὶ
αὐτοὶ ἦραν

λέγοντες· ᾿Ιησοῦ
ἐπιστάτα,
ἐλέησον
ἡμᾶς.
Luk_17:13 και αυτοι ηραν φωνην λεγοντες ιησου επιστατα ελεησον ημας
Luk_17:14 And seeing them, He said to them, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And so it was that as they went away, they were cleansed.
Luk_17:14 καὶ
ἰδὼν εἶπεν
αὐτοῖς·

ἑαυτοὺς
τοῖς

καὶ ἐγένετο
ἐν τῷ
ὑπάγειν
αὐτοὺς
ἐκαθαρίσθησαν.
Counter-Intuitive Synchronization: The strange & counter-intuitive instructions of an inspired obeyers are synchronized with Monotheistic temple service in heaven!
Its Not Subjective/Optional!: Inspired obedience is NOT from the opinions of opinion men! -- its synchronized with Heaven!
Obey Flesh Contradiction: So first simply obey inspired prescriptions, especially when it doesnt make sense to your flesh!
(3) Baptism-Discipleship
The Greek-linked vocabulary foreshadow that most directly connects to us in much deeper ways
Joh_1:33 John Sent To Baptize
John was sent (& told) to baptize
Behold, the Lamb of God
Joh_1:29 CAB The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
Joh_1:29 Τῇ

John Discovers & Reveals Jesus Identity in baptism-discipleship!
See: DTA > Baptism ≈ Discipleship
Discipleship-Training-Apprenticeship.htm#BaptismIsDiscipleship
Mat_3:1 NKJV In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
Mat_3:11 NKJV I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance
Act_19:4 NKJV Then Paul said, John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance
Inspired instructions reveals who God is! -- & knowing God is Salvation & Healing!
Is it for Today?
Flesh Says: Obedience to inspired people does NOT apply today to humbled clean obeyers still alive right in front of us.
Bible Says: Obedience to Inspiration DOES Apply today -- get over powerless apostasy and finally discover the perfection, of divine favor, of inspired obedience
Listen to what Gods Spirit is still saying today
Baptism for Forgiveness of Sins
Act_22:16 And now, what are you [about to/] going to do [τι μελλεις]? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'
Act_22:16 καὶ
νῦν τί
μέλλεις;
ἀναστὰς

ἀπόλουσαι
τὰς

APPLY it to your life right now!
Take Applied Action, and get clean of all Sinning!
Joh_10:41 John Did No Miracle, Yet Spoke Truth
John did no miracle but everything he said was true
After they gave Jesus a hard time in Joh_10, He returned to where John was baptizing
Joh_10:41 CAB And many came to Him and said, "John indeed performed no sign, but everything which John said about this Man was true."
Joh_10:41 καὶ
πολλοὶ ἦλθον
πρὸς αὐτὸν
καὶ ἔλεγον
ὅτι ᾿Ιωάννης
μὲν σημεῖον
ἐποίησεν οὐδέν,
πάντα δὲ ὅσα
εἶπεν
᾿Ιωάννης
περὶ τούτου,
ἀληθῆ ἦν.
Joh_10:41 και πολλοι ηλθον προς αυτον και ελεγον οτι ιωαννης μεν σημειον εποιησεν ουδεν παντα δε οσα ειπεν ιωαννης περι τουτου αληθη ην
Joh_10:42 And many believed in Him there.
Joh_10:42 καὶ
ἐπίστευσαν
πολλοὶ ἐκεῖ
εἰς αὐτὸν.
Joh_10:42 και TSBεπιστευσαν πολλοι Aεπιστευσαν TSBεκει εις αυτον Aεκει
Where John was affective, Jesus was believed, in direct contrast to the persecuting Jews in the first part of the chapter.
Thats always the way it is with Jesus forerunners
Joh_5:33 NKJV You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
And this Truth testimony is what is always required of you to be saved
Faith BEFORE Seeing miracles -- This is exactly like we need to have faith in obeyers today!

Direct Application:
Notice how strongly weve been applying Naaman directly to us.
Apply!: One of the
problems of lawless non-lord-scripture-postures and bad
relationships/orientations against Bible-obedience is a stubborn resistance
against slavishly *, diligently, and eagerly applying all of the
morals of the Scriptures directly to our lives to insist on real Justice.
Test:
Are we right or wrong? -- test your own spirits and motivations (2Co_13:) and
see if they are True!
Get Discipleship **
Now?: Are we supposed to find someone True
today & get discipled?
Forsake All:
Do you seriously believe that you have to forsake all (Luk_14:25-35)? --
including your religious assumptions, thoughts, ideas, and dreams for this
life?
See: www.TrueConnection.org/ForsakeAll
Biblical Faith Required?:
Do you really believe you have to do something eager toward REAL, living
Obeyers today, right in front of you, just like Naaman did, or are you making
excuses to protect your pride so you can stay independent self-sufficient and
disobedient?
How Applicable?:
How much, and to what degree are we supposed to be applying Naaman directly to
us like this, or are we supposed to just be dispensationalists that say it does
not really apply to us today??
You Want Easiness or
Holiness?: Excuses, indeed, sure are (really are)
more comfortable, convenient, and self-assuring, arent they? -- or did you
come here today looking for the salvation through Holiness praised in Rom_6:22-23?
Rom_6:22 CAB But now having been freed from sin, and having become enslaved to God, you have your fruit resulting in sanctification [εἰς ἁγιασμόν N-ASM into holification], and the end, eternal life.
Rom_6:22 νυνὶ
δέ
ἐλευθερωθέντες
ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας
δουλωθέντες
δὲ τῷ Θεῷ
ἔχετε τὸν
καρπὸν ὑμῶν
εἰς
ἁγιασμόν,
τὸ δὲ τέλος ζωὴν
αἰώνιον.
Rom_6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Luk_4s
Preceding context: the Good Message (Isa_61) Dos NOT Apply to them!
Luk_4:22 And all were bearing witness to Him, and were marveling at the gracious words which came out of His mouth. And they said, "Is this not Joseph's son?"
Luk_4:22 Καὶ
πάντες
ἐμαρτύρουν
αὐτῷ καὶ ἐθαύμαζον
ἐπὶ τοῖς
λόγοις τῆς
χάριτος τοῖς
ἐκπορευομένοις
ἐκ τοῦ

Luk_4:22 και παντες εμαρτυρουν αυτω και εθαυμαζον επι τοις λογοις της χαριτος τοις εκπορευομενοις εκ του στοματος αυτου και ελεγον Aουχι TSBουχ TSBουτος TSBεστιν TSBο υιος Aεστιν ιωσηφ Aουτος
Luk_4:23 He said to them, "You will surely say this proverb to Me, 'Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your hometown.' "
Luk_4:23 καὶ
εἶπε πρὸς
αὐτούς·
πάντως ἐρεῖτέ

παραβολὴν
ταύτην·
ἰατρέ, θεράπευσον
σεαυτόν· ὅσα

Luk_4:23 και ειπεν προς αυτους παντως ερειτε μοι την παραβολην ταυτην ιατρε θεραπευσον σεαυτον οσα ηκουσαμεν γενομενα Aεις TSBεν Aτην TSBτη Aκαφαρναουμ TSBκαπερναουμ ποιησον και ωδε εν τη πατριδι σου
Luk_4:24 Then He said, "Assuredly I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.
Luk_4:24 εἶπε
δέ· ἀμὴν
λέγω ὑμῖν
ὅτι οὐδεὶς
προφήτης
δεκτός ἐστιν
ἐν τῇ
πατρίδι αὐτοῦ.
Luk_4:24 ειπεν δε αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ουδεις προφητης δεκτος εστιν εν τη πατριδι αυτου
Luk_4:25 But I tell you truly, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine all over the land;
Luk_4:25 ἐπ᾿
ἀληθείας δὲ
λέγω ὑμῖν,
πολλαὶ χῆραι

Luk_4:26 but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a widow woman.
Luk_4:26 καὶ

Luk_4:26 και προς ουδεμιαν αυτων επεμφθη ηλιας ει μη εις σαρεπτα της Aσιδωνιας TSBσιδωνος προς γυναικα χηραν
Luk_4:27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian."
Luk_4:27 καὶ
πολλοὶ

Luk_4:28 So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
Luk_4:28 καὶ
ἐπλήσθησαν
πάντες θυμοῦ
ἐν τῇ
συναγωγῇ
ἀκούοντες
ταῦτα,
Luk_4:28 και επλησθησαν παντες θυμου εν τη συναγωγη ακουοντες ταυτα
Luk_4:29 and rising up they threw Him out of the city; and brought Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, in order to throw Him down.
Luk_4:29 καὶ
ἀναστάντες ἐξέβαλον
αὐτὸν ἔξω

καὶ ἤγαγον
αὐτὸν ἕως

Luk_4:30 But having passed through the midst of them, He went on.
Luk_4:30 αὐτὸς

ἐπορεύετο.
Provoking Implications: We need to understand the implications that angered them to get the point Jesus was making.
Code Language: Jesus used proverbs & prophetic code language.
Rejected Hearers: Jesus implied they were rejected.
Gentile Contrast: (A) After announcing the Good Message of Israels hope, (B) they despised His flesh, and (C) He pointed out that their unbelief was proof of their own rejection, and (D) their inferiority to gentiles like Naaman.
Despising = Todays Proof: Despising inspiration is just as much proof today as it was in Naamans & Jesus day.
Naaman was prioritized over Jews even though
Non-Jew: Naaman was a gentile, and not even in the covenant of circumcision
No Priesthood: He did not undergo their Lev_14 ritual for cleaning the flesh!
No Blood: He didnt even offer an animal sacrifice
No Money: His monetary sacrifice was declined -- which was often required from Jews for their atonement!
No Moving to Israel: He went back to idol-culture without much regret!
Private Devotion Approved: as long as Naaman stayed in peace and Truth in private exclusivity to monotheism in his heart, he was blessed with Peace from Elisha, & praised as Gods saved gentile by Jesus!
Money Required From Jews for Atonement
Exo_30:12 NKJV When you take the census of the children of Israel for their number, then every man shall give a ransom for himself to the LORD, when you number them, that there may be no plague among them when you number them.
Exo_30:13 NKJV This is what everyone among those who are numbered shall give: half a shekel as an offering to the LORD.
Exo_30:15 NKJV The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel to make atonement for yourselves.
Mat_17:24 NKJV When they had come to Capernaum, those who received the temple tax came to Peter and said, Does your Teacher not pay the temple tax?
Mat_17:27 NKJV Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook
Naaman was Better
To suggest that Naaman was not only better than apostate Israelites back then, but that he was still better than the Socially conservative Jews right there in the synagogue, was absolutely outrageous. -- just like direct application of the Bible still is outrageous today!
Synagogue was Convicted
They sinned against Jesus inspiration and Jesus convicted the social perversion, rebuked the injustice, and flipped it back around as convicting-convincing proof of their rebellious-apostasy, which made them way less than humbled gentiles!
Israelite heritage reduced
Take Action!
Apply!: We need to apply Naaman & Jesus to us right here right now (in the exact same ways)!
Muslims Better than Church?: We need to admit that crazy Muslims are sometimes more righteous than church people -- despite all of their legacy of evil and violence against christianity throughout the centuries, just like Assyria
Is that going too far for you, just as it was for the Jewish synagogue?
The Point: evil, murderous Assyria and crazy Muslims testify against church today -- which powerfully and potently proves just how evil and murderous religious despising is, when it assumes non-inspiration.
The flesh thinks it is not guilty of murder, but the guilt starts in the heart where the flesh thinks it is innocent -- not guilty.
Despising is in the same category of people as religious murders in Jesus day
Heart Crimes:
and this will be polarized again in the End-Times if you dont get holy and separate from these wicked men
Num_16:21 Separate From These Wicked Men!
the rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram
Jud_1:11 perished in the way for Korah
Compare:
2Co_6:17
NKJV Therefore Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not
touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.
Psa_1:1
NKJV Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly
Pro_4:14
NKJV Do not enter the path of the wicked, And do not walk in the way of evil.
2Th_3:6
NKJV But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that
you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly
See: JTC
Pagans will be saved more than church people, and the
supposedly unsuccessful thinking, plans, and work of the pressed down and
afflicted will testify against all of the quick success and strong boasting
that is judged and destroyed without hope or salvation in the End-Times.
Gentile Salvation at Israels Expense
had already been predicted a LONG time ago
Deu_32:21/Rom_10:19 I will make you
angry by an ignorant nation
Deu_32:21 NKJV They have provoked Me to
jealousy by what is not God But I will provoke them to jealousy by those who
are not a nation; I will move them to anger by a foolish nation.
Rom_10:19 NKJV But I say, did Israel not
know? First Moses says: I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a
nation, I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.
Love-Israel.htm#AFoolishNation
Act_13:46 NKJV It was necessary that
the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it behold,
we turn to the Gentiles.
Freethinkers are
Failures at Faith: The Liberal king of Samaria/Israel
was excluded from Elishas Greatness and benefits (as Jesus points out later in
Luk_4:24-27)
because he didnt even know how to admire the prophet under his own
country/dominion -- liberals never have faith, by very definition! -- thats
what it means to be free from righteousness, (Rom_6:20-21;
Joh_8:34, as seen in Free From Righteousness -- below)
Redeeming Monotheistic
Reputation: Elisha had to mediate in order to redeem
Israels glorious reputation of monotheism from the failing liberal
government
See: SRP > Liberal = Free From
Righteousness
Sin-Repentance-Perfection.htm#LiberalIsFreeFromRighteousness
Not Knowing God
Truth Recognition: Do you recognize Truth right under your nose, or are you a pagan who despises inspired obedience?
Unknown God: The God of obedience is He who has taken care of you your whole life, and your flesh does NOT know Him!
Dominant Inspiration: Obedient Inspiration is dominant and gets to rejoice in its own perfect and inspired perspective against the whole world.
The Point:
Was Israel being saved & healed or desolate & plagued?
Rejected Israel: Was Israel part of the rebellion that God was rejecting while choosing the gentiles?
Powerless Desolation: Remember: Lacking miracles = Desolation
Whose Worse?: Was Israel more apostate than pagans?
Modern Desolation: Is church today worse than the secular world?
Remember this End-Times Warning
Rev_3:15 Lukewarm I Will Spit You Out

NKJV I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you
were cold or hot.
Rev_3:16
NKJV So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit
you out of My mouth.
Rev_3:17
NKJV Because you say, I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of
nothing
Mat_7:23
NKJV And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me
So who is worst of all?
Who is most desolate in our age today?
See: Gods Army of Bugs (Plagues)
Naaman needed Elisha
The Synagogue needed Jesus in person (when He was there)
YOU need obeyers to disciple you today -- in the exact same way!
STOP/Repent of hypocritical discontinuity/inconsistency (Mat_23:3 -- Quoted below)
Inconsistency of Hypocrisy
Mat_23:3 Therefore whatever they may say to you to observe, observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.
Mat_23:3 πάντα
οὖν ὅσα ἐὰν
εἴπωσιν
ὑμῖν τηρεῖν,
τηρεῖτε καὶ
ποιεῖτε,
κατὰ δὲ τὰ

Repent of Excuses to Doubt
Stop excusing yourself from Applying Naaman (and the rest of the Bible) to your immediate need to obey inspired discipleship!
See: DTA > Baptism ≈ Discipleship
Discipleship-Training-Apprenticeship.htm#BaptismIsDiscipleship
Simultaneous Healing & Plagues: Luk_4:25-27; Jas_5:13-18; Rev_11:3-6 ↔ Rev_12:6, Rev_12:13-15
Conviction Against the Flesh
When we proclaim conviction against the flesh by reading Naaman's story then inevitably heresy will protest and say we're interpreting things when specifically applying them to us today, and therefore the flesh is assuming that inspiration is not happening, and therefore they supposedly don't have to believe what we're saying as authoritative and True -- this unbelief is disobeying Luke 4 and Tit_2:15, and on the contrary to despising rebellious unbelief...
Jesus Applies Naaman Today
Jesus teaches us by example that Naaman's implications should be directly applied to us right now today when listening and hearing his story and example.
Spirit-Motivation Warning (Reminder)
What Spirit are you motivated by?
Flattery Destroys Repentance
When listening to the story of Naaman are you being tempted by feelings that you're doing pretty good and you're not failing like Naaman initially or like the synagogue in Luke 4.
Overconfident flattery boasting defeats the entire purpose of Naaman's story, and does the exact opposite of the repentance Jesus is demanding from us when reflecting on this canonical moral example/teaching.
STOP Despising Inspiration (Reminder)
The Point of Luke 4:
If you don't quickly stop despising inspiration, and assuming it's not there, and pretending to understand Bible obeyers from the perspective of Flesh you're going to fail within religion, personal guidance spirits, and get rejected just like this synagogue and cut off from the benefits of salvation that Naaman learned to acquire.
Naamans canonical example
The synagogue refused to learn, thinking they were better, but being worse
Claiming to be wise they Became Fools
Isa_5:20 WEB Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Naaman went from being an example of assuming non-inspiration (at first) into a teaching example of overcoming such Pride, so that if we still despise we are not being like Naaman's true legacy, but have refused to learn and repent and embrace Jesus.
2 Sons
Which of these two did the will of the father?
Two sons / doing the will of the Father
Preceding Context: they refused to apply inspiration to testing if John was inspired
Mat_21:28 CAB "But what do you think? A man had two children. And having come to the first, he said, 'Child, go, work today in my vineyard.'
Mat_21:28 Τί δὲ

Mat_21:31 Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said to Him, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Assuredly I say to you, that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you.

Mat_21:32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but tax collectors and harlots believed him; but you, having seen, did not repent afterwards, that you might believe him.
Mat_21:32 ἦλθε

Nineveh Repented at Johnna
Mat_12:41 NKJV The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah
Luk_11:32 NKJV The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment for they repented at the preaching of Jonah
Naaman was Corrected:
Naaman initially assumed wrong against inspiration (2Ki_5:11-12), but then was saved by lowering himself
(2Ki_5:17-19)
Jews were Stubborn: Synagogue continued despising inspiration (Luk_4:22) to the point of murder (Luk_4:28-29)
Anger Lowered:
Naaman was angry (2Ki_5:11-12)
but then relented (2Ki_5:17-19)
Anger Justified: Synagogue was angry (Luk_4:28) & refused to relent/repent/LEARN/get humble/be pressed down
Obey Biblical Implications: Jesus Demands obedience to the Implications of the Bible -- Solid orthodox rule for Righteous relationship with the Bible
Biblical Implications Show Whos Approved: Despising Jesus = Not Getting Low & Learning from Naaman
Truth Rejected:
You get No benefits/healing/salvation without believing the Truth right in
front of you -- that your flesh despises
Stop Playing!:
Repent of pretending as if you KNOW Jesus/inspired people by flesh. -- the
Bible already addressed and condemned this!
Familiarity Blindness:
Assuming Jesus was Joseph's son, whom they knew (Luk_4:22),
hardened them from being amazed by Truth and believing Jesus (Luk_4:24) and leaving them as abandoned and
rejected Israel (Luk_4:25-27)
under plagues -- despite their religious synagogue attendance (Luk_4:28).
New is Unknown to
Your Flesh: A Canonical New Creation of Gods
Righteousness (2Co_5:17, 2Co_5:21; Rom_6:4) is NOT Joseph's son either, after
being brought into Jesus new Divine Nature (2Pe_1:)!
Future Warning:
Notice that this is also a prediction of future rejection of Religious people (Luk_4:25 → Rev_11 12, etc.) -- so this same exact
warning applies to US if we dont learn to get low into the converting
baptismal waters of Discipleship just like Naaman and these other non-covenant
people did!
Naaman Example:
Naaman was saved (Luk_4:27),
and is an example of how we must believe to escape religion & End-Times
Rebellion-Apostasy (Luk_4:25).
2Pe_: Partake of the Divine Nature
Partakers of the divine nature
2Pe_1:3 As His divine power has granted to us all things pertaining to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

2Pe_1:4 through which have been given to us precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through these we may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

2Pe_1:5 But also for this very reason, making every effort, provide with your faith virtue, and with virtue knowledge,
2Pe_1:5 καὶ

Don't normalize it!
Apostasy is Subdivine and Uninspired
Plagues & Healing -- Simultaneously!
Spirit-Test Warnings (Reminder)
Do you realize that Im giving you a True Saying -- no matter how paradoxical and hard to accept and believe:
Jesus came healing diseases therefore His closest and
best friends come plaguing people with them
Is this saying possibly True at all???
Test the spirit you are motivated by when reading Elijah's & Elisha's story
Are You Concerned About Desolation?
Do you feel like there's something wrong with you when you normalize the same complacent attitude of non-miraculous expectations that the king of Israel had?
Do you have the same attitude of rejected rebellion?
Can you feel in your heart that the king of Israel is being harshly rejected in the exact same way lazy church people are being rejected today, or do you think that everyone's saved and approved in church today?
Test your motivations!
"Test yourselves!"
Test the spirits You're motivated by and you're familiar with!
Faithless King: Do you realize that the king of Israel has no faith for miracles because he's in apostate rebellion?
Normalized Apostasy: Don't normalize it by making excuses to not have miracles in our day and age!
Accomplice Warning: If you act like this is normal you are a partner and crime and an accomplice with this apostate liberal king...!
Conscience Check: Now that I've told you the Truth about the king of Israel's apostasy and church today which has the exact same attitude...
Sensitive Recognition: Do you have a sensitive enough conscience inside of your heart that you recognize what I'm saying is True?
Kingdom Craving: Do you righteously and cleanly by nature crave the kingdom of heaven where supernatural things are happening and "all things are possible for him who believes"?
All Things Are Possible For Him Who Believes
Mar_9:23 NKJV Jesus said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.
Mar_10:27 NKJV With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.
Mat_17:20 NKJV for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed
Clarification: were not talking about Pentecostal charismaticism here which is also apostasy...
Obedience Unlocks Power
Not miracles without obedience, but miracles because of obedience!
Rejecting False Supernaturalism
We're also not talking about (1) "on demand prophecy" and (2) uninspired miracles where you can do whatever you want at a moment's notice... Like they even blaspheme Jesus Himself of doing, in Incarnation denying churchannities
Paganism Versus Incarnation
Remember paganism often features people claiming to be God, whereas the Incarnation is God claiming to be a person.
Craving Clean Power
so aside from (and never minding the modern distractions of) Pentecostal charismaticism, are you craving the right spirit where obedience actually brings the supernatural Kingdom of Heaven to Earth, with CLEAN power (from Obeying everything God says)?
Zeal Against Apostasy
Do you know why I'm so zealous against Church apostasy today? Because I've seen too much of its nasty evils and destruction and dirty immoralities that are constantly destroying men and blaspheming God
Mesmerized by Truth
Do you know why I'm so zealous for Spiritual Truth of obedience to everything God says?
Because I've been absolutely mesmerized by the savings power of Truth from finally doing everything God's words are telling us to do...
Spirit Motivation
So what Spirit are you motivated by?
Hearing Gods Testimony
Can you feel in your heart the same testimony against apostate lazy church as God is clearly condemning even today through these testimonies of the liberal king of israel?
Spirit Tests
Test your spirits! What Spirit are you moving by?
Naaman & Jesus Agree
We can prove very clearly which spirit is true by reading Naaman and reading Jesus...
End-Time Secret: Let me tell you a preview secret of the end times you will most likely not hear from anyone anywhere else...
Healing Error: Pentecostal charismatic have got healing all wrong because they don't care if they're obeying all the Bible before they get miracles...
Second Pentecost: They are looking for a second Pentecost which is theoretically accurate, except for one huge gigantic problem...
Power Pursuit: They are looking for a spiritual outpouring that has miracles and healing and power...
Antichrist Danger: But if you want to escape the Antichrist who comes with all lying signs and wonders you're going to fall straight into Satan worship by looking for signs and miracles without obedience first
Protective Secret: So here's the secret of the end times which is a preview antidote to guarantee that you don't fault Antichrist...
Plagues First: Don't just look for healings and signs and wonders, you should in fact actually first be looking for plagues and judgment and then you'll find the clean to witnesses who simultaneously heal the righteous who huddle under the wings of monotheism to escape all the destruction and condemnation of this world...
And there's more where that came from...
To have a holy huddle with the righteous you're not simply looking for healing in the Gospels but for the Stark harsh rejection of judgment and plagues, and forsaking all is foreshadowed in Naaman and preached by Jesus but wait for the end times when forsake all takes on profoundly deeper requirements and instead of healing diseases everywhere there are plagues causing diseases everywhere, except "the land of Goshen" where the monotheist huddled together
Luk 4
Jam 5
Luk 4 - Exclusive Healing = 2Ki 5 - king of Israel didn't know to have faith for healing
Independence Discrepancy: We know OT people needed prophets but we, especially in Protestant cultures, imagine that now that JC came, we only need JC alone ...
Dirty Spirits: A fictional fairy tale invisible personal independent helper spirit - treating the New Testament like demons of greek
Independence = Rebellious Disobedience: these exact same dirty independent relationship spirits are the ones which speak to your ears and are so persuasive at convincing you that you do not need to obey Naaman TODAY, RIGHT NOW to get to heaven
Repeating Historical Rebellion: Always hypocritically refusing the Truth right in front of our face...!
Naaman ≈ The End Times Pictures
The real Jesus in Luke 4 applied Naaman directly to His
hearers and pointed them into the end times, including God's wrath and plagues
against their unrepentant rebellion, just like Revelation 15 16, etc.
Discipled Into Obedience
and this same real Jesus in the actual Bible commanded and
ordained that you should get discipled and not you should do it enough to be
completely obedient to examples like Naaman (as seen in 2Ki_5 and taught by Jesus in Luk_4) and Jesus told
us to get discipled enough to obey everything that He commanded us to do
(Mat_28:18-20; Mar_16:15-18).

Refusing Repentance
Rev_16:9 And men were burned with severe burns, and men blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent to give Him glory.
Rev_16:9 καὶ
ἐκαυματίσθησαν
οἱ ἄνθρωποι

Rev_16:10 Then the fifth one poured out his bowl on the throne of the Beast, and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues from the pain.
Rev_16:10 Καὶ ὁ

Rev_16:11 They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their ulcers, and they did not repent of their works.
Rev_16:11 καὶ

τὸν Θεὸν
τοῦ οὐρανοῦ
ἐκ τῶν
πόνων αὐτῶν
καὶ ἐκ τῶν

αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ

αὐτῶν.
Rev_16:21 And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone weighing a talent. And men blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, since this plague was exceedingly severe.
Rev_16:21 καὶ
χάλαζα
μεγάλη ὡς
ταλαντιαία
καταβαίνει
ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ
ἐπὶ τοὺς
ἀνθρώπους·
καὶ ἐβλασφήμησαν
οἱ ἄνθρωποι
τὸν Θεὸν ἐκ
τῆς πληγῆς τῆς
χαλάζης, ὅτι
μεγάλη
ἐστὶν ἡ
πληγὴ αὐτῆς
σφόδρα.
Rev_16:21 και χαλαζα μεγαλη ως ταλαντιαια καταβαινει εκ του ουρανου επι τους ανθρωπους και εβλασφημησαν οι ανθρωποι τον θεον εκ της πληγης της χαλαζης οτι μεγαλη εστιν η πληγη αυτης σφοδρα
[Comp. Isa_8:21-22
(translations are different)]
Easy Submission to Truth: You're supposed to be treating others better than yourself (Php_2, etc.), and then whenever someone really has something objectively better/Superior to you, then it's easy for you to recognize what you need for salvation -- very naturally and easily, without scandal-ing or getting angry
The only scandal that makes you fail to obey Naaman and Jesus is your own self-asserted identity and cherished pride.
Just Say No & Yes: The one thing you need is to say no to yourself and yes to inspiration...
Simple Faith Needed: faith is such a simple confession and agreement with the Truth -- but it is so agonizing and detestible to the flesh that no one even started such a simple faith to be saved
Is it Works?: People act like the redeemed thiefs good confession isn't works, but when it comes time to actually do it they always draw back in the hypocrisy of their inconsistency
See: INSP
Avoid Pride Jokes: beware of the overflow of your mouth because even distasteful jokes (Eph_5:4, etc.) come from the overflow of what is really in your heart (Mat_12:34, etc. -- quoted below)
Heart Overflow
→ Mouth Speaks
Out of the
abundance of the heart the mouth speaks
Mat_12:33 CAB "Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten; for a tree is known by its fruit.

Pro_4:27 Do not turn aside to the right hand, nor to the left, but turn away your foot from an evil way: for God knows the ways on the right hand, but those on the left are crooked: and He will make your ways straight, and will guide your steps in peace.

Elijah → Elisha & John the Baptist
Elijah repeats his anointing in Elisha & John the Baptist
Elisha is a repetition of Elijah, just like John the Baptist is a repetition of Elijah.
Both Elisha & John the Baptist repeat Elijah in baptizing
Therefore: 2Ki_5 totally applies to us today, and on into the End-Times!
Enigma: If John the Baptist is a repetition of Elijah, why is Elisha the one who foreshadowed Johns baptism?

2Ki 2 Elijahs Secret Baptism
2Ki_2:6 WEB Elijah said to him, "Please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me to the Jordan." He said, "As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." They two went on.
2Ki_2:6 And Elijah said to him, Stay here please, for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan. And Elisha said, As the Lord lives and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. And they both went on.
2Ki_2:6 καὶ
εἶπεν αὐτῷ
Ηλιου Κάθου δὴ
ὧδε, ὅτι κύριος
ἀπέσταλκέν με
ἕως τοῦ
Ιορδάνου· καὶ

ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου,
εἰ
ἐγκαταλείψω
σε· καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν
ἀμφότεροι.
2Ki_2:7 WEB Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood over against them afar off: and they two stood by the Jordan.
2Ki_2:7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went also, and they stood opposite the Jordan, afar off; and both stood on the bank of the Jordan.
2Ki_2:7 καὶ
πεντήκοντα

τῶν προφητῶν
καὶ ἔστησαν ἐξ
ἐναντίας
μακρόθεν· καὶ
ἀμφότεροι
ἔστησαν ἐπὶ

2Ki_2:8 WEB Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that they two went over on dry ground.
2Ki_2:8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and struck the water, and the water was divided on this side and on that side, and they both went over on dry ground.

ἐρήμῳ.
2Ki_2:9 WEB It happened, when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you. Elisha said, please let a double portion of your spirit be on me.
2Ki_2:9 And it came to pass while they were crossing over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken up from you. And Elisha said, Let there be a double portion of your spirit upon me.
2Ki_2:9 καὶ

ὕδατα, καὶ
διερράγησαν
ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα,
καὶ διέβη
Ελισαιε.
Havent we seen this before where the waters were divided???
Elijah is uniquely paralleled with Moses & Joshua
This was a secret baptism:
1Co_10:1 Now I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,
1Co_10:1 Οὐ
θέλω δὲ
ὑμᾶς
ἀγνοεῖν,
ἀδελφοί, ὅτι
οἱ πατέρες
ἡμῶν πάντες
ὑπὸ τὴν νεφέλην
ἦσαν, καὶ
πάντες διὰ
τῆς θαλάσσης
διῆλθον,
1Co_10:1 ου θελω Aγαρ TSBδε υμας αγνοειν αδελφοι οτι οι πατερες ημων παντες υπο την νεφελην ησαν και παντες δια της θαλασσης διηλθον
1Co_10:2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
1Co_10:2 καὶ
πάντες εἰς
τὸν Μωϋσῆν
ἐβαπτίσαντο
ἐν τῇ
νεφέλῃ καὶ
ἐν τῇ
θαλάσσῃ,
1Co_10:2 και παντες εις τον BAμωυσην TSμωσην Aεβαπτισθησαν TSBεβαπτισαντο εν τη νεφελη και εν τη θαλασση
We see that (supernaturally) crossing through the sea is a secret baptism.
2Ki_5 Elishas Explicit (yet Forgotten) Baptism (2Ki 2 = 1Co_10:2)

Collaborative Summary:
(needing
review/refinement)
John the Baptist is like Elijah
Mal_3:1 - Messenger sent to prepare the way (for Lords coming judgment/temple visitation)
Mal_4:4-6 - Elijah sent before great and dreadful day; turning hearts of fathers and children (Elijah return prophecy)
Isa_40:3 - Voice in wilderness preparing the way of the LORD (preparatory for Messiah; applied to John)
Mat_3:1-3 - John preaching in wilderness; prepare the way (Elijah-like wilderness prophet, fulfilling Isaiah)
Mat_11:7-10 - John = messenger before your face preparing the way (Malachi fulfillment)
Mat_11:11-14 - John = Elijah if you are willing to receive it *
Mat_17:10-13 - Elijah must come first; Elijah has already come (* spiritual Elijah of Jesus day)
Mat_17:12-13 - Disciples understood He spoke of John the Baptist (link directly applied)
Mar_1:2-4 - John = messenger in wilderness preparing way (Isaiah fulfillment)
Mar_9:11-13 - Elijah comes first; Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wished (i.e. John)
Luk_1:16-17 - John comes in the spirit and power of Elijah turning hearts (i.e. Elijah in Mal_4:4-6)
Luk_1:76 - John = prophet of the Highest going before Lord to prepare His ways
Luk_3:4 - Voice preparing the way in wilderness (Isaiah applied to John)
Luk_7:26-27 - John = messenger sent before the Lord (Malachi fulfillment)
Joh_1:21 - Are you Elijah? John: I am not (i.e. not ultimate End-Times Elijah)
Joh_1:23 - John: a voice preparing the way (Isaiah fulfillment)
Joh_1:6-8 - John = witness sent from God to testify to the Light (i.e. Elijah-like forerunner)
Every single Gospel explicitly identifies John the Baptist as the prophesied forerunner preparing the way (Mal_3:1/Isa_40:3) which is a type of Elijah (Mal_4:4-6).
And this is the big key for our salvation:
(weather it is Elisha, John the Baptist, or our needed discipleship today, awaiting the two last forerunners)
Forerunner → Jesus → Salvation
You have to recognize to recognize
You have to recognize the sign Forerunner-person to
recognize where salvation is at
The Forerunner is Pointing
If you can recognize the forerunner who is like a voice in the wilderness, then you also recognize Him who he points to, as we've seen repeatedly throughout the Gospels (like in John 10 and many other places).
Sign = Needed: God set a sign in the earth, made of human flesh, to point to WHO and where He is --
If you neglect the sign, youll never find God, because He is hidden Himself from the flesh, and because the flesh is too unholy to ever find or even seriously seek Him (who He really is)
The Forerunner Gives Knowledge of Gods Identity
You do not know who Jesus is without God's necessary decisive prophetic forerunner who tells us who Jesus is before He comes.
Notice how Elijah forerunner figures are signs pointing to the saving Truth
John came showing the knowledge & way of righteous
salvation

Mat_21:31 CAB Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said to Him, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Assuredly I say to you, that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you.

Mat_21:32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but tax collectors and harlots believed him; but you, having seen, did not repent afterwards, that you might believe him.

(C) Believe Where the Sign Points
Joh_1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Joh_1:6
᾿Εγένετο
ἄνθρωπος
ἀπεσταλμένος
παρὰ Θεοῦ,
ὄνομα αὐτῷ
᾿Ιωάννης·
Joh_1:6 εγενετο ανθρωπος απεσταλμενος παρα θεου ονομα αυτω ιωαννης
Joh_1:7 This man came for a testimony, so that he might testify concerning the Light, so that all through him might believe.
Joh_1:7 οὗτος
ἦλθεν εἰς μαρτυρίαν,
ἵνα

πιστεύσωσι
δι᾿ αὐτοῦ.
Joh_1:7 ουτος ηλθεν εις μαρτυριαν ινα μαρτυρηση περι του φωτος ινα παντες πιστευσωσιν δι αυτου
Joh_1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent so that he might testify concerning the Light.
Joh_1:8 οὐκ ἦν
ἐκεῖνος τὸ

περὶ τοῦ
φωτός.
(D) Sins Removed -- After Believing the Sign
[Context quoted herein:]
[Behold,
the Lamb of God]
Joh_1:29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold [ἴδε]! The Lamb of God who takes away [ὁ αἴρων] the sin of the world! [τὴν ἁμαρτίαν τοῦ κόσμου]

Act_19:4 CAB But Paul said, "John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the One coming after him, that is, in[to the (εις τον)] TSBChrist Jesus."
Act_19:4 εἶπε δὲ
Παῦλος·
᾿Ιωάννης

Act_19:5 ακουσαντες δε εβαπτισθησαν εις το ονομα του κυριου ιησου
Act_19:6 And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.

The Forerunners Are Coming BEFORE Jesus Comes
Again!
Jesus explicitly says that Elijah must still come yet again to restore all things (Mat_17:11 [ἔρχεται V-PNI-3S TSBπρῶτον]; Mar_9:12 [ἐλθὼν V-2AAP-NSM πρῶτον]), and the conclusion is that you will not recognize Jesus' coming in time, unless you recognize the right forerunner who prepares the way for you to be able to accept Jesus, again! - (the return of Moses and Elijah in Mal_4:4-6, and Revelation 11).
The Point: Naamans Salvation teaches us to look for the Elisha-forerunner-type people in our day, and to be discipled & saved by identifying the right Jesus to believe in, just like Elisha & John the Baptist in their day.
Baptism-Discipleship (reminders)
N = B: Weve seen that Naamans Story is about Baptism.
B = D: Baptism is about Discipleship (Mat_28:18-20; Mar_16:15-18; etc.), therefore
N = BD: Naamans Story is about Baptism-Discipleship
With discipleship requirements being taught, that (obviously) means
Teachers Included
The Right People: God's inspired obeyers are a necessary part of your salvation.
Included for Salvation: Jesus and the rest of the Bible consistently includes God's righteous clean obedient heroes as part of His solution for your redemption and salvation.
Indispensable: God gave the Bible to proclaimers and teachers to teach you the way of salvation, and you cannot exclude them, and nothing can "work them out of a job". (see: Rom_10 & comp. Mat_21:32 & Luk_1:77 above)
Sign = Needed: You don't know WHO is supposed to save you in heaven without an anchor point on Earth pointing to the right (invisible) Spirit, which has been sent from heaven to save you.
So
Get Low, Quick!
Because
Humbled Answer = Easy to
Recognize
Right Thinking
Lowliness Identifies: It's easy to spot better thinking -- as long as youre not boasting with self-affirmations and self-flattery.
Easy: It's easy to tell who the good guys are, as long as you are low enough.
Lowliness Gets it Right: Once you've lowered yourself enough, to where Humility Admires Obeyers, then obedience is quick to jump on the advantages of better thinking from the heroes you admire, -- even when they are underneath your feet.
Premature: Stop thinking that you already have a distinct advantage when you don't yet have enough revealed Truth.
The Point: Get Low to get Saving Recognition of the Right People!
Do you want to Get low, or be brought low?
What heroes do you have that might be socially under you, and yet you need to do everything they say to get heaven?
They might have Less
Money
Age
Social status; Success
Intelligence
Knowledge
...than you
They might even be women, or even girls, like the Hebrew girl whose faith initially saved Naaman! (2Ki_5:2-4; Women Witness the Resurrection; etc.)
Resurrection Witnesses
Unexpected Reliability:
Listening to and believing the testimony of a little girl like this will
often be your first step to finding the right inspired person and/or people
that will tell you exactly what God is saying that you need to do to be saved
(both for the first time, and even for final salvation).
Limited Leadership
Skills: this Little girl might not be able to
take charge & Tell people how to organize everyone enough to accomplish
victory, in this world
Worldly Wisdom:
But even though she doesn't have the street-smart worldly wisdom, like maybe
you have, yet surprisingly she actually has
Right Conclusion:
in the end she has concluded on the right most important logical conclusion
that youve been failing at your whole life!
Little Pointer:
The Little Girl-Hero Always easily believes in Gods forerunners, and will
happily point you to the Truth you need for salvation that you didnt recognize
yourself on your own!
Foolishness Reversed:
But God has turned the wisdom of this world into foolishness (1Co_1, 2,
etc.) and has so often used those who don't know how to be so successful in
this life to accomplish the most deep wisdom and logically correct conclusions,
beyond what your flesh is ever imagined.
Hidden Hero:
She is the hero beneath your feet
Exercised Discernment:
The little inexperienced girl knows how to identify the right Truth with more
exercised-discernment than your flesh ever imagined...
See: Deborahs Example
The Point:
The Limited worldly skills in a downplayed (& hidden) hero can produce
Unexpected Reliability with the Right conclusions of heavenly
perspective-perception, far beyond all the experts in this life!
Look Down for Salvation!
STOP just looking above you -- but instead look for those who are less than others and servants of all (Mar_9:35, etc. -- quoted below).
Greatest will be Servant of All
Greatest is servant of all
Servant = Greatest
Mat_23:10 CAB Neither be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ.
Mat_23:10 μηδὲ
κληθῆτε
καθηγηταί·
εἷς γὰρ ὑμῶν
ἐστιν ὁ
καθηγητὴς, ὁ
Χριστός.
Mat_23:10 μηδε κληθητε καθηγηται Aοτι TSBεις Aκαθηγητης TSBγαρ υμων εστιν Aεις TSBο TSBκαθηγητης ο χριστος
Mat_23:11 But the greatest of you shall be your servant.
Mat_23:11 ὁ δὲ
μείζων ὑμῶν
ἔσται ὑμῶν
διάκονος.
Mat_23:12 And whoever shall exalt himself will be humbled, and whoever shall humble himself will be exalted.
Mat_23:12 ὅστις
δὲ ὑψώσει
ἑαυτὸν
ταπεινωθήσεται,
καὶ ὅστις
ταπεινώσει
ἑαυτὸν
ὑψωθήσεται.
Last-Servant Child = Greatest
Mar_9:33 CAB Then He came to Capernaum. And being in the house He asked them, "What were you disputing about with one another on the road?"
Mar_9:33 Καὶ

Mar_9:34 But they were silent, for on the road they had discussed with one another who was greater.
Mar_9:34 οἱ δὲ

γὰρ διελέχθησαν
ἐν τῇ
ὁδῷ τίς
μείζων.
Mar_9:34 οι δε εσιωπων προς αλληλους γαρ διελεχθησαν εν τη οδω τις μειζων
Mar_9:35 And having sat down He called the twelve, and said to them, "If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all."
Mar_9:35 καὶ

τοὺς δώδεκα
καὶ λέγει
αὐτοῖς· εἴ

Mar_9:35 και καθισας εφωνησεν τους δωδεκα και λεγει αυτοις ει τις θελει πρωτος ειναι εσται παντων εσχατος και παντων διακονος
Mar_9:36 And taking a child, He stood him in their midst. And taking him in His arms, He said to them,
Mar_9:36 καὶ

ἐναγκαλισάμενος
αὐτὸ εἶπεν

Mar_9:36 και λαβων παιδιον εστησεν αυτο εν μεσω αυτων και εναγκαλισαμενος αυτο ειπεν αυτοις
Mar_9:37 whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me, but Him who sent Me."
Mar_9:37 ὃς ἐὰν

Luk_22:23 CAB Then they began to discuss with one another, which of them might be the one who was about to do this.
Luk_22:23 καὶ

Luk_22:25 But He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles ·lord it over them [κυριεύουσιν αὐτῶν (i.e. act like they own others)], and those who exercise authority over them are called 'benefactors.' [εὐεργέται]
Luk_22:25 ὁ δὲ

αὐτοῖς· οἱ
βασιλεῖς τῶν
ἐθνῶν

αὐτῶν, καὶ
οἱ ἐξουσιάζοντες

Luk_22:26 But you shall not be thus; but let the greatest among you, let him be as the youngest, and he who leads as he who serves.
Luk_22:26 ὑμεῖς

Luk_22:27 For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as the One who serves.
Luk_22:27 τίς

Let Him Be Your Slave
Mat_20:21 CAB And He said to her, "What do you desire?" She said to Him, "Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and one on Your left, in Your kingdom."

Mat_20:25 But Jesus, having summoned them, said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

Mat_20:26 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, shall be your servant.

Mat_20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many."
Mat_20:28 ὥσπερ ὁ

The Point: Humility underneath your feet sees the little girl, who is going to point you straight to the forerunners who can reveal the Truest identity of the Real Jesus so you can be saved before its too late
Self-Directed Learning:
We need to talk about Naaman more when doing a more thorough treatment of
self-determination and self-directed learning, But in the meantime...
Naaman Previews Bad
Learning: here's a preview, specifically applied
to Naaman...
Naaman = Adult Learner:
the Self-directed learning of the adult learner is illustrated in Naaman's
example...
Pagan Superiority Trip:
Aren't the waters of Damascus better? -- but this is not just (A) a Pagan
Superiority Complex, but this also includes (B) a reflex (allergic/nervious
reaction) toward pre-existing pseudo-knowledge -- idolatry and both of these
crimes each lead to hell! (so how much more when combining them?)
Uneducated Intuition:
(de-educated) pagan flesh always has the wrong uneducated intuition!
Blind & Evil
Conscience: Discernment has nothing to do with the
unscientific superstitious intuitions of de-educated church peoples
consciences today, which naturally feels safer in conventional numbers (saying
there is safety in numbers) and historical rebellion, and throws up irrational
fight or flight panic-alarms whenever something True is announced --
salvation from sinning is ever thoroughly announced
Prior Experience:
Notice Naaman's trying to hook his current experience on to what he already
knows. So
Adult Learner Example:
Naaman illustrates/pictorializes the adult learner in this account for us to
REALLY learn from. And
Disciples ≠
Adults: Adult learners are not kingdom
disciples! (remember this saying!)
Servant Sanity:
His BOYS (literal Greek) tell him more sanity than his own compromised and
corrupted adult human experience...
Childlike Faith:
Girls, like Naaman's littler slave girl [νεάνιδα
μικράν] (2Ki_5:2-4), and boys, like Naaman's servants [οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ]
(2Ki_5:13),
have more rational logical faith without prejudice and despising than the chief
general of Syria's army. >> Flesh (2Ki_5:14
-- you must be converted as childen)
(Prejudice
Condemned: Prejudice is a recognized logical and sociological societal
crime in the Bible; not to be confused with the word discrimination which is
confused, distorted, and politically charged with deception in modern cultures)
Heroic Conviction:
Bible Heroes teach us to embrace the Bible's testimony against the sinfulness
of our own natural life.
Condemning Witness:
The Scriptures have given us these examples as (A) testimonies against
hard-hearted unrepentance, to condemn self-justification to the deepest pits of
hell, and (B) to totally justify God's righteous-justice for only saving poor
people, who look up in excited faith and eager admiration of superior
advantages, which are commissioned from Heaven to Earth.
Desolation Ownership:
All these Biblical humility examples illustrate how to own the reality of your
flesh's desolation.
Pressed Down = Honesty:
Being Biblically pressed down = the virtue of self-denial and self-incrimination.
Gone Low Enough?:
Have you already had a traumatic life, and have you already gone too low, or
have you really not gone low enough yet?
We really need proof
Reasonable Response:
A good, reasonable, logical, and excited response to the obedience on earth --
proves when you have gone low enough -- to shed off the insanity of
Independence pride and look up to perfection right in front of you for
salvation.
Be Right, to Find
Right: Be the right (humble) person to see the
right person -- before finding the right (inspired-obedient) person (like some
correctly say for marriage)
Down-Up:
Get pressed down so you can look up to obeyers for the Truth they have been
given to save you.
Humility Craves
Obedience: can you recognize how (A) hating all
sinning in your flesh and (B) deeply craving all perfect obedience with
insatiable Love, faith, and admiration toward obeyers, comes directly from (C)
completely/utterly pressing yourself down in Biblical humility?
Steps of Faith:
When are you going to take steps of faith to go deeper into Truth admitting
your desperate need for God's voice on earth?
Rarity Today:
We can objectively see obeyers today with God working in their lives to do
Hardcore Love, just like Elisha in 2Ki_5 -- and that they are almost as rare as
Elisha
Objectively Admiring:
Since we can all objectively know who pressed-down obeyers are, therefore there
is no problem for humility to admire them so that we can be saved by
their council right? -- But
Objecting to
Objectivity: the very fact that church people object
to this objectiveness and dont believe this faithful and exciting hope is a
root issue to tackle later on
Admiring Truth:
lower yourself enough so that the natural, easy, and obvious inevitable
conclusion is to look up to truth above oyu -- and admire Truth that is
superior to your desolation.
Saving Hand:
Being pressed down souls hope with eager excitement that God-on-Earth is
offering you a saving hand to pull you out of complete desolation and failure.
Jer_23:28-29 whats the wheat to the chaff?
Biblical Exhortations: We can see Real Love and numerous
virtue-principles & deep Bible-obedient exhortations in 2Ki_5 with Naaman
Big Picture: How do Naaman and similar accounts help
us with LOW, SRP, LOB, DTA, LOV, GWY, GOM, etc.
Real Love
Required
Want Truth?:
Who wants to stand at Elishas door & seek the Kingdom of Heaven?
Are You There Yet?:
Are you standing at Elishas door, seeking Gods Kingdom?
Angry at Love:
Elisha Required real Love to be Prioritized that initially made Naaman Angry
Naamans Social Sacrifice: Remember the rules of self-denial & self-contradiction which Naaman teaches us in 2Ki_5 to give over as a sacrifice, when youre searching for Truth.
GWY Reminders
See: GWY
Is-God-With-You.htm#SeparationPunishment
Now that real Love is in view, its high time we get busy Trashing Fleshly Expectations
& just like we need to embrace
the Value of Loves tests (GWY), we need to
Believe
the Difficult, Hard, Demanding, Trying, Testing Prophet, or even Inspired
Person
Practice Submissive Salvation:
We can get ready to embrace the toughest prophets to come (Mal_4:4-6; Rev_11:)
by signing up ahead of time in submission to every inspired obeyer right now!
Offensive Distance:
Would you be offended if Love put you to the test of distance?
Prophetic Behavior
Expectations: Would you be angry if a prophet (or
other inspired obeyer) (A) didn't give you the display or show you wanted, (B)
didn't receive you with open arms, and (C) didn't respond with immediate
acknowledgment when you attempted to interact with them?
Harsh Reception:
What if someone told you something that felt like a slap (or spit) in the face
when you tried to approach them? (like Elisha Did with Naaman in 2Ki_5)
Expectation Bias /
Prejudice Scandal: Do you insist on preconceived ideas of
how righteous people should behave to make you happy???
Missed Prophet:
What if they were a prophet and you assumed they werent even inspired because
they contradicted your ideas/preferences/expectations?
Special Insight:
What if an Inspired person knew something you didnt realize yet?
False Attribution:
Would you assume that their words are simply their own grumpy, distant,
unloving, harsh "prophetic personality" (as if such a thing existed),
and their understanding was merely bad advice that is not worthy of faith?
Surprise Authority:
Remember, unexpected Inspiration does NOT need to look like what
you expect / think it should -- by very definition!
Expect unexpected
Always Looking:
We must always be looking for surprise inspiration where we might least expect
it, and then we can receive and even embrace it zealously, even when it might
pass by us unexpectedly.
NOT Their Personality:
Inspired people are NOT following their personality and preferences -- but the
TRUTH -- insisting on the hope and Truth demanded by heaven.
Logical Faith Saves:
Believing the objectivity of Obeyers is the only way to get Truly benefited by
them with Inspiration heavenly enough to save you.
The Only Thing that
Matters: Follow the Virtue / morality / Bible
Obedience -- like Moses & Jesus taught (& church so characteristically
keeps forgetting)
Can You Handle the
Truth?: Can you give over a logical response
whenever an inspired person requires the hard Truth from you that contradicts
your uninspired fleshly intuition?
Remember: our goal is to Trash
Fleshly Expectations!
Faith is Saving:
Having faith that God can always heal people -- that puts you in the right
posture of believing God, which is a part of salvation -- &
Sozo:
why do church people find the link between faith for healing and faith
salvation hard to believe when some healings are the same Greek word for
salvation!?
Expect Miracles:
When you look for healing expectantly -- it is more likely to happen, right?
Therefore
Expect Inspiration:
When you look for inspiration expectantly -- it is more likely to happen!
Healing &
Inspiration come by Faith: Having faith is part of people getting
healed & people being inspired in your own life.
On-Off Switch:
if your faith can make you well (Mat_9:22, etc.) so also your faith can
get you the Truth from an obeyer -- so turn the switch ON and start looking
eagerly until youre saved!
The Point:
Are you ready to embrace inspired obeyers who really are about to be the next
(and final?) chapters in the Bible that havent been fully written yet?
Who is a Dog?:
Are you so sure that you're not a dog and that you're better than the
disrespecting trials of Gods Love? (Humbling Question).
When Desolation Looks
Up: When youre honest about your fleshs
desolation, any clean hope of light shining down on you, is clearly better than
you, and is so far above you that it is always easy to look up with excited
admiration!
Saving Contradictions:
What God says and does is always a scandal to the flesh -- so always be eagerly
looking for a saving opposite-contradiction of everything your flesh wants!
No Boundary-Breaking
Injustice: Flesh cant tell God what to do, even if
He is on earth inside of a human.
Your flesh has absolutely no authority at all whatsoever to tell a prophet what to do to help you, because God's word in him actually rules dominantly and authoritatively infinitely above your useless despicable worldly status
Your worldly importance doesn't matter or count at all in front of the council of Heaven
The Point:
Submit to inspired-obedience-Truth, no matter how hard it is, because only
perfect Bible-obedience Truth can save you.
Pride:
Lacking humility is always the problem keeping us from Hard Core saving
Biblical Truth.
Flattery:
We assume we're not sinful, that we're spiritual, loving, wise, smart,
knowledgeable, and all kinds of other goodness, but were so forgetful of what
is needed
Biblically Defined
Sinfulness: Do you really have even a slightly
Biblical worldview of what sin is, what its definition is, and how sinful your
flesh is? - if you do it will absolutely crush all of your human fleshly
uninspired confidence...
Unconfident:
you cannot be confident and sinning when you confront your own sin Biblically.
Dependence:
Obsessive Prayer dependence to get perfect cleanness is how you are changed
whenever seeing/staring at/beholding the real Biblically-defined definition of
your sin-filled flesh in this life.
Hearing God:
The realizations of Lowliness make you absolutely desperate and dependent on
knowing what God is saying -- at least something, as much as possible, and it
starts right here in earth
Objection: Hearing God on earth??? Why not in heaven??
Answer: How about the BIBLE -- on earth? How about the obeyers on earth the
Bible tells you to believe???
So
No Goof:
instead of our own goofy pseudo-virtue
Real Goodness on Earth
Needed: we desperately need the real virtue and the
real Love that God speaks through His prophets and all of the obeyers who
follow in His obedience to everything God says!
Whos Inspired?:
All of this keeps re-raising the question of who are those inspired earthly
voices that I must listen to in order to be saved - who exactly are the right
people and how will I ever know?
Whos Right:
Where are these Right People who might test us with real love?
Stop & Start:
Start by repenting of & stopping assumptions and start asking the right
questions!
Root of Denial:
Today, Church keeps starting off by secretly denying that INSPIRATION EXISTS
(in many different ways), even though we all know we need to be searching for
Truth/Perfection/Inspiration by hungering and thirsting for it until we are
filled with righteousness (Mat_5:6)
-- i.e. asking the right questions
Omission form Hell:
The heretical omission and lazy negligence which refuses to seek out
inspiration, is the deceptive root issue disqualifying people from ever finding
the Truth of Bible obedience -- (just doing what God is saying to do).
Limiting Assumptions:
the foolishness of our age will never get beyond these (sometimes secret)
assumptions, until we totally crucify and obliterate this dirty illogical
despising (assumptions) that stop us from even getting to the heavenly goal of
finding the right people, that we mostly don't even know we're supposed to be
seeking -- going after...
Too Late Warning:
Inspiration doesn't work for you in Moses's early days, IF you're delaying life
and just waiting around for the burning mountain -- i.e. after its too late!
Un-savable Sight:
Flesh is NOT saved at Sinai (Heb_10:38-39Heb_12:18-22,
etc.)
Stop Demanding a Sign:
Waiting for Visual Proof condemns you (Jon_2 3, etc.)!
Closing Window:
We cannot announce anything to ourselves, right here and right now, that is
incompatible with God's Limited Edition Favor, which we must grab before it's
too late and the doors close in judgment and wrath in the End Times. (Luk_21:34-36)
Flesh Contradiction is
HERE!: We DO HAVE that Saving contradiction of
the flesh -- today, right here with us!
Easy Recognition: right people are easy for lowered people to recognize, because Humility Always admires obeyers. (Remember *)
Luk_21:34-36 that day will come as a
trap
* See: Humbled Answer = Easy to Recognize
To find the right people, you have to get
moral and spiritual
Unloving
Unbelief
You're
a flesh does not really like Moses, Elijah, Elisha, Naomi, Jesus, or the real
identity of any inspired person for that matter...
The
Flesh always pretends Bible heroes are not True
Pro_29:27 WEB A dishonest man detests the righteous, and the upright in their ways detest the wicked.
Pro_29:27 LB A righteous man is an abomination to an unrighteous man, and a straight course is an abomination to the sinner.
Pro_29:27

Flesh
Rebels Against Correction:
Pro_29:27
shows why your flesh constantly rebels against inspired correction and
convicting Truth.
Naamans
Struggle:
This is why its so hard to believe Gods prophets like Elisha when they
contradict everything our flesh has learned and held dear
So
Dont
Die Resisting!
Resenting = Rebellion: Resenting plagues and refusing to
repent, as seen with End-Times Rebels (Rev_16:1-21, etc.; Jud_1:11),
is this exact same initial fleshly resentment in 2Ki_5:11 (Naaman went away angry); anger at Truth is the fleshly attitude
of resenting the corrective distance of Perfect Love -- so are you going to
Learn or Repeat?: are you going to LEARN or just keep
repeating thousands of years of historical rebellion, on into the End-Times
Apostate-Rebellion?
Preventative-Redemption
is At Hand:
Your salvation might be so easy and so simple at first, but beware lest you
might refuse to obey it until the day of your death (Heb_12:25), and continue rotting until you're
dropped into hell for refusing redemption.... (Num_16)
Excited or Remain
Desolate?:
Do you want to be happy that you have come to have faith in what God is saying,
or do you want to be groping, fumbling, and floundering in the darkness defending Your desolation
for the rest of your life?
Slow-Hearted Unbelief: Stop holding onto slow-hearted
resistance to becoming nobodies, children/lowly, and instead accept God's
insult on Earth, so that we can get His Kingdom in Heaven
Heb_12:25 see that you don't refuse him who
speaks
Heb_12:25 CAB See [Βλέπετε i.e. look out!] that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape, having refused Him who ·warned them [χρηματίζοντα favorably helped them] [upon |the| land/earth (επι TSτης γης)], how much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who warns from heaven;
Heb_12:25

Truths Perspective
Spirit Conflict:
(Here's a guarantee) The spirit will contradict our flesh.
Truth Dominates:
Truth will claim dominion over our intuition (). -- it will overrule it --
& theres NO PRIDE involved in Elisha (in 2Ki_5), since inspiration does
not serve itself, or express its own personality!
Worldly Leaders Submit:
Naaman was used to GIVING orders, but saving, inspired Truth demands for
him to TAKE orders from the inspired voices that are socially underneath
him
Love = Unexpected:
Perfect inspired Love will give you what you were not looking for - what you
did not know to look for...
Superior Perspective:
Do you trust God's eyesight and perspective (spiritual moral-virtue proof) to
see far beyond everything you've ever conceived?
Facts, Not Feelings
Logic
Over Feelings
Logical Sacrifice *:
Are you willing to sacrifice the feelings of the moment and submit to The
logical proof and reality that obedience is inspired right in front of
you? -- logical proof is right where God is speaking to you!
(* Rom_12 = our Logical Sacrifice)
Feelings = Irrelevant:
It doesn't matter what you think or feel.
Intuition = Faulty:
Your uneducated uninspired subdevine intuition is the furthest thing from the
Truth.
Logic = Submission:
Are you willing to bow down and worship logic, the proven moral facts of Bible
obedience, doing everything God is telling us to do, and make yourself a dog in
order to submit to crucifixion, and justify the slap in the face, or even the
spit in the face in Numbers 12, and accept what feels like brutality against
the dignity of your flesh here on Earth, so that you can finally know the real
value of Perfect Love from the Kingdom of Heaven?
The Point:
Get yourself ready for courageous self-denial, in order to get the spiritual
Truth expectations & hope you need for salvation
2Ki_5:1 (A1) GreatbutLeper
2Ki_5:2-4 (B1) Slave-servant girls good advice (faithful)
2Ki_5:7-8 (C1) Unbelief -- king of Israel
2Ki_5:9 (D1) at Door of Elisha (Naaman Arrives)
2Ki_5:10 Wash x7 & Be Clean
2Ki_5:11-12 (D2) Leaving Door of Elisha (Angry)
2Ki_5:11-12
(C2) Unbelief -- of Naaman
2Ki_5:13 (B2) Slave-Servants boys good advice (Try it!)
2Ki_5:14 (A2) Small & No Leprosy! -- Lowered in water; Child-like Flesh
There is more than one way to summarize the reflections of 2Ki_5, but this one gives us some unique insights
Symmetry
Combined -- in 2Ki_5
(A) Big Leper (2Ki_5:1) → Child-like, without Leprosy (2Ki_5:14)
(B) Slave-girls saving advice (2Ki_5:2-4) ↔ Slave-boys saving advice (2Ki_5:13)
(C) Kings Unbelief (2Ki_5:7-8) ↔ Naamans Unbelief (2Ki_5:11-12)
(D) Coming to Elishas Door (2Ki_5:9) ↔ Leaving Elishas Door (2Ki_5:11-12)
The
Point/Center: Wash! & Be Clean (2Ki_5:10) -- i.e. Believe & be saved (~ 2Ki_5:17-19)
Humility ≈ baptism-Discipleship-Obedience: This lowliness-structure summary focuses us on the center of obeying the Baptism-Discipleship command, which is humility.
Obedience which humility demands
Humility = baptism discipleship reponse
Saved from Tripping
Initial Scandal: Suppose
you got tripped up and scandaled like Naaman at first (2Ki_5:10-12)
Still Hope: But
wait, there's still hope for you!
Submissive Washing: All
you got to do is get in the water and submissively believe the Word which God
has inspired someone to give you... (2Ki_5:13-16)
Simple Submission: Is
that really so hard??? (2Ki_5:13)
-- its only hard for pride!
Do whatever it takes to GET LOW! Then you
start getting all the saving answers you so desperately need!
Get Happy Faith!
See: Happy Faith Lacking & Philippian Jailors Happy
Faith!
Cheerful like
Examples:
Naaman & Philippian Jailor
Getting Happy:
How are they each happy, and how can we get happy like them when we finally
admit that were wrong and God is right having faith in God, even on earth!?
Admitting youve been
wrong = Happy to have believed into God!
Exciting Sacrifice
Just reject and forsake your paganism of
your flesh, and come to hope that God wants to make you great into inspired
obedience that is immeasurably special & holy out of this world, like no
one has ever gotten before in our age, and then you can be skipping with
rejoicing that you have come to believe in God!
Get Low
This is the real good confession that
is so easy and close at hand, as long as you lower yourself enough to recognize
and admire Obeyers with exciting, zealous, Biblical faith!
The Point:
(A) Seek out obeyers, (B) believe that they have perfect Truth from heaven, (C) prepare
your heart, and get low enough and spiritual enough to expect your uneducated
intuitions to be overruled, (D) Give over a saving response like Naaman, and (E)
knock on their door until you get salvation from Heaven through their lives!
Up next: we can start comparing similar
principles as Naaman when considering how a centurion responded to Jesus
Centurions Servant and Centurion vs.
Naaman
Lets consider a compilation of Luk_7 & Mat_8
(A)
Non-Contradiction
Pragmatic clarifications to prove that Bible is reliable
Whenever church people or christian media reenacts the centurion story, they seem to always misrepresent him as coming directly to Jesus, and I've never seen the delegation of elders (Luk_7) included in people's flawed unbiblical reenactments.
(B) Biblical
Virtue = Required form US! -- Initial Implications
Conviction: Whats the moral to the story that condemns church today?
Remember the Goal: spiritual saving faith into the Jesus that people dont know today -- that still needs to be revealed, especially after these End-Times apostasies.
(C) Naaman
Comparison
Centurion & Naaman -- how can we learn from both!
(D) How Must WE
Overflow with Righteousness? -- Personal Applications
SOM: Overflow!
Mat_5:17-20 Righteousness SURPASS scribes and Pharisees; enter kingdom
Mat_5:43-48 Love enemies SURPASSINGLY; be perfect like Father
1Co_15:58 SURPASS in work of Lord
2Co_1:5 SURPASS in suffering & Comfort of Lord
2Co_3:9 SURPASSING service of Righteousness
Php_1:9 OVERFLOW in perception
Col_2:7 OVERFLOW in taught faith
1Th_3:12 OVERFLOW in Love
1Th_4:1 OVERFLOW in pleasing God

Mat_8:7-8/Luk_7:6 Going to the Unworthy-Feeling-Roof
Luk_7:7/Mat_8:8 Just Say the Word (Because Im not even Worthy to Come)
Mat_8:9/Luk_7:8 Authority Understood -- Delegated Under Others
Luk_7:9/Mat_8:10-12 Faith Praised, Above Jews!
Mat_8:13 Healing Declared
Luk_7:10 Healing Confirmed
Luk_7:1 a
CAB Now when He finished all His
sayings in the hearing of the people
Luk_7:1
᾿Επεὶ δὲ
ἐπλήρωσε
πάντα τὰ
ῥήματα
αὐτοῦ εἰς
τὰς ἀκοὰς
τοῦ λαοῦ,
εἰσῆλθεν
εἰς
Καπερναούμ.
Luk_7:1 Aεπειδη TSBεπει TSBδε επληρωσεν παντα τα ρηματα αυτου εις τας ακοας του λαου εισηλθεν εις Aκαφαρναουμ TSBκαπερναουμ
Mat_8:1 CAB When He had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed Him.
Mat_8:1
Καταβάντι
δὲ αὐτῷ
ἀπὸ τοῦ
ὄρους ἠκολούθησαν
αὐτῷ ὄχλοι
πολλοί.
Mat_8:1 Aκαταβαντος TSBκαταβαντι δε Aαυτου TSBαυτω απο του ορους ηκολουθησαν αυτω οχλοι πολλοι
[Jesus Cleanses a Leper]
Mat_8:2 And behold, a leper came and worshipped Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."
Mat_8:2
Καὶ ἰδοὺ,
λεπρὸς
ἐλθὼν
προσεκύνει αὐτῷ
λέγων·
Κύριε, ἐὰν
θέλῃς,
δύνασαί με
καθαρίσαι.
Mat_8:2 και ιδου λεπρος Aπροσελθων TSBελθων προσεκυνει αυτω λεγων κυριε εαν θελης δυνασαι με καθαρισαι
Mat_8:3 And reaching out His hand, Jesus touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Mat_8:3
καὶ
ἐκτείνας
τὴν χεῖρα
ἣψατο αὐτοῦ
ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς
λέγων· θέλω,
καθαρίσθητι.
καὶ εὐθέως
ἐκαθαρίσθη
αὐτοῦ ἡ
λέπρα.
Mat_8:3 και εκτεινας την χειρα ηψατο αυτου TSBο TSBιησους λεγων θελω καθαρισθητι και ευθεως εκαθαρισθη αυτου η λεπρα
Mat_8:4 And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."
Mat_8:4
καὶ λέγει
αὐτῷ ὁ
᾿Ιησοῦς· ὄρα
μηδενὶ
εἴπῃς, ἀλλὰ
ὕπαγε
σεαυτὸν
δεῖξον τῷ ἱερεῖ
καὶ
προσένεγκε
τὸ δῶρον ὃ
προσέταξε
Μωϋσῆς εἰς
μαρτύριον
αὐτοῖς.
Mat_8:4 και λεγει αυτω ο ιησους ορα μηδενι ειπης BAαλλα TSαλλ υπαγε σεαυτον δειξον τω ιερει και Aπροσενεγκον TSBπροσενεγκε το δωρον ο προσεταξεν Aμωυσης TSBμωσης εις μαρτυριον αυτοις
Healed Leper =
Jewish
Evidently, this
leper was Jewish:
(A) Sacrifice: traveling from above the Sea of Galilee all the way South to Jerusalem was a big deal, and
(B) Sacrifice ≈ Devotion: Such a long pilgrimage implies a Jewish devotion to the temple and Jewishly regulated life-style rules, even when
(C) Dispersed: living among Galilee of the gentiles (Isa_9:1/Mat_4:15 = 4 chapters earlier) requires steady commitment and faithfulness to maintain Jewish Rules.
Luk_7:2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was highly valued by him, was sick and about to die.
Luk_7:2
῾Εκατοντάρχου
δέ τινος
δοῦλος κακῶς
ἔχων ἤμελλε
τελευτᾶν, ὃς
ἦν αὐτῷ
ἔντιμος.
Luk_7:2 εκατονταρχου δε τινος δουλος κακως εχων Bεμελλεν TSAημελλεν τελευταν ος ην αυτω εντιμος
Luk_7:1 b
CAB He
entered Capernaum.
Luk_7:1
᾿Επεὶ δὲ
ἐπλήρωσε
πάντα τὰ
ῥήματα
αὐτοῦ εἰς
τὰς ἀκοὰς
τοῦ λαοῦ,
εἰσῆλθεν
εἰς
Καπερναούμ.
Luk_7:1 Aεπειδη TSBεπει TSBδε επληρωσεν παντα τα ρηματα αυτου εις τας ακοας του λαου εισηλθεν εις Aκαφαρναουμ TSBκαπερναουμ
Mat_8:5 Now when He had entered Capernaum,
Mat_8:5
Εἰσελθόντι
δὲ αὐτῷ
εἰς Καπερναοὺμ
προσῆλθεν
αὐτῷ
ἑκατόνταρχος
παρακαλῶν
αὐτὸν
Mat_8:5 Aεισελθοντος TSBεισελθοντι δε Aαυτου Bαυτω TSτω TSιησου εις Aκαφαρναουμ TSBκαπερναουμ προσηλθεν αυτω εκατονταρχος παρακαλων αυτον
Capernaum-Mountain
Capernaum (Mat_8:5; Luk_7:1) + Mountain (Mat_5:1, Mat_5:14; Mat_8:1; Luk_6:12, [Luk_6:17]) = Mount of Beatitudes
The Point: The parallels of Matthew 8 and Luke 7 prove (A) Chronologically: that The Sermon on the Mount is chronologically the same multi-day event as the sermon on the plane (Matthew 5, 6, and 7 = Luke 6), and (B) Geographically: that the Capernaum mountain is the site of The Sermon on the Mount, and is therefore now validly called the Mount of the Beatitudes.

[The Faith of a Centurion]
Luk_7:3 And
Mat_8:5 a centurion [ἑκατόνταρχος]
Luk_7:3 when he heard about Jesus
Mat_8:5 approached [προσῆλθεν came toward] Him,
Centurion Heard
the News, that We Still Need to Hear!
Default Report: When the centurion heard about Jesus (Luk_7:3) -- it was apparently from among the Jews, & or other somewhat related company of that surrounding society at that time, who still considered Jesus a Jewish prophet, and NOT GOD (yet). Therefore
Application = Required: the centurions faith toward this obeyer he heard about is still required form YOU in the same way today toward obeyers.
Faith is the Point: OBEYING the Centurions Faith toward God on EARTH, right in front of you, is the moral to the story!
That is what you need for heaven.
Luk_7:3 he sent elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him that He might come and heal his servant.
Luk_7:3
ἀκούσας
δὲ περὶ τοῦ
᾿Ιησοῦ
ἀπέστειλε
πρὸς αὐτὸν
πρεσβυτέρους
τῶν
᾿Ιουδαίων
ἐρωτῶν
αὐτὸν ὅπως

δοῦλον αὐτοῦ.
Luk_7:3 ακουσας δε περι του ιησου απεστειλεν προς αυτον πρεσβυτερους των ιουδαιων ερωτων αυτον οπως ελθων διασωση τον δουλον αυτου
Mat_8:5 begging Him [παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν]
Mat_8:6 and saying, "Lord, my servant has been laid up in the house a paralytic, being tormented terribly."
Mat_8:6
καὶ λέγων·
Κύριε, ὁ
παῖς μου
βέβληται ἐν
τῇ οἰκίᾳ
παραλυτικός,
δεινῶς βασανιζόμενος.
Luk_7:4 And when they came to [παραγενόμενοι πρὸς i.e. began to be right-nest-to] Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying [that (ὅτι):] he was worthy [ἄξιός ἐστιν] for whom He should grant this [ᾧ παρέξει τοῦτο],
Luk_7:4 οἱ
δὲ
παραγενόμενοι
πρὸς τὸν
᾿Ιησοῦν
παρεκάλουν
αὐτὸν σπουδαίως,
λέγοντες ὅτι
ἄξιός ἐστιν
ᾧ παρέξει τοῦτο·
Luk_7:4 οι δε παραγενομενοι προς τον ιησουν παρεκαλουν αυτον σπουδαιως λεγοντες οτι αξιος εστιν ω Aπαρεξη TSBπαρεξει τουτο
Luk_7:5 for he loves our nation, and he himself has built us a synagogue."
Luk_7:5
ἀγαπᾷ
γὰρ τὸ ἔθνος
ἡμῶν, καὶ
τὴν
συναγωγὴν
αὐτὸς
ᾠκοδόμησεν
ἡμῖν.

Community Perspective: They're still treating Jesus like he's part of their Jewish community.
Not Yet Understood: They did NOT treat or think of Jesus as claiming to be God! (yet)

Mat_8:7 And Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."
Mat_8:7
καὶ λέγει
αὐτῷ ὁ
᾿Ιησοῦς·
᾿Εγὼ ἐλθὼν
θεραπεύσω
αὐτόν.
Mat_8:7 και λεγει αυτω TSBο TSBιησους εγω ελθων θεραπευσω αυτον
Luk_7:6 Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far away from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy [οὐ γὰρ εἰμι ἱκανός] that You should enter under my roof.
Luk_7:6 ὁ

ἤδη δὲ

Mat_8:8 a The centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not worthy [κ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς] that You should come under my roof.
Mat_8:8
καὶ

Luk_7:7 a Therefore I did not even consider myself worthy [ἠξίωσα] to come to You
Luk_7:7 b [πρός σε ἐλθεῖν] But just say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
Luk_7:7
διὸ οὐδὲ

Mat_8:9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
Mat_8:9

Luk_7:8 For I also am a man appointed under authority, having soldiers under myself. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."

Faith's
Insightful Vision
Valid/Genuine Perception: When Humility Admires obeyers it has real perception!
Centurion Example: the unique insights that the centurion has of Jesus shows us, and it proves to us that lowered people Truly perceive God inside of obeyers, more accurately than all others when they are lowered in this way -- even if they dont yet know Jesus is God!
Ignorance or Saving FAITH: we might call them ignorant for not yet understanding Jesus Divinity, but Jesus calls it amazing saving FAITH!
Luk_7:9 When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turning to the crowd following Him, He said, "I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!"
Luk_7:9
ἀκούσας
δὲ ταῦτα ὁ
᾿Ιησοῦς
ἐθαύμασεν
αὐτόν, καὶ
στραφεὶς τῷ
ἀκολουθοῦντι
αὐτῷ ὄχλῳ
εἶπε· λέγω
ὑμῖν, οὐδὲ
ἐν τῷ
᾿Ισραὴλ
τοσαύτην
πίστιν εὗρον.
Luk_7:9 ακουσας δε ταυτα ο ιησους εθαυμασεν αυτον και στραφεις τω ακολουθουντι αυτω οχλω ειπεν λεγω υμιν Bουτε TSAουδε εν τω ισραηλ τοσαυτην πιστιν ευρον
Mat_8:10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who were following, "Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!
Mat_8:10
ἀκούσας
δὲ ὁ
᾿Ιησοῦς
ἐθαύμασε καὶ
εἶπε τοῖς
ἀκολουθοῦσιν·
ἀμὴν λέγω
ὑμῖν, οὐδὲ
ἐν τῷ ᾿Ισραὴλ
τοσαύτην
πίστιν εὗρον.
Mat_8:10 ακουσας δε ο ιησους εθαυμασεν και ειπεν τοις ακολουθουσιν αμην λεγω υμιν Aπαρ Aουδενι Aτοσαυτην Aπιστιν TSBουδε εν τω ισραηλ TSBτοσαυτην TSBπιστιν ευρον
Mat_8:11 And I say to you that many shall come from east and west, and recline to eat with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;
Mat_8:11
λέγω δὲ
ὑμῖν ὅτι
πολλοὶ ἀπὸ
ἀνατολῶν
καὶ δυσμῶν
ἣξουσι καὶ
ἀνακλιθήσονται
μετὰ
᾿Αβραὰμ καὶ
᾿Ισαὰκ καὶ
᾿Ιακὼβ ἐν τῇ
βασιλείᾳ
τῶν οὐρανῶν,
Mat_8:12 but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Mat_8:12
οἱ δὲ
υἱοὶ τῆς
βασιλείας
ἐκβληθήσονται
εἰς τὸ
σκότος τὸ
ἐξώτερον·
ἐκεῖ ἔσται
ὁ κλαυθμὸς

Jesus was Part
of Judaism?
Familiar Association: They're still treating Jesus like he's part of their Jewish community
Surprise: A Shocking Reversal is on the way
their inclusion is not taken at face value by Jesus
Rejection Predicted: After their acceptance / approval Jesus later gives them a shocking prediction-expectation of their Jewish community being cast out
Mat_8:13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go; and as you believed, may it be unto you." And his servant was healed that same hour.
Mat_8:13
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ
᾿Ιησοῦς τῷ
ἑκατοντάρχῳ·
ὕπαγε καὶ ὡς
ἐπίστευσας
γενηθήτω σοι.
καὶ ἰάθη ὁ
παῖς αὐτοῦ
ἐν τῇ ὥρᾳ
ἐκείνῃ.
Mat_8:13 και ειπεν ο ιησους τω BAεκατονταρχη TSεκατονταρχω υπαγε TSBκαι ως επιστευσας γενηθητω σοι και ιαθη ο παις Aαυτου TSBαυτου εν τη ωρα εκεινη
Luk_7:10 And when those who were sent returned to the house, they found the servant well who had been sick.
Luk_7:10
καὶ
ὑποστρέψαντες
οἱ
πεμφθέντες εἰς
τὸν οἶκον
εὗρον τὸν
ἀσθενοῦντα δοῦλον
ὑγιαίνοντα.
Luk_7:10 και υποστρεψαντες TSBοι TSBπεμφθεντες εις τον οικον Aοι Aπεμφθεντες ευρον τον TSBασθενουντα δουλον υγιαινοντα
And trying to take
a historian's approach we can get an approximate idea of the sequence of what
happened with the centurion.
And by taking a
historian approach...
Based on both
Matthew and Luke we can pretty clearly conclude that the centurion did not stay
home.
It's also possible
to conclude that the centurion saw Jesus based on both accounts - if indeed he
remained outside of his house after
sending the delegation of elders & after sending the delegation of friends
There is a very real sense in which the centurion said these things to Jesus even if you take it from the perspective of Luke's account where he said it through two delegations, since that doesn't exclude the idea of that the centurion might have still actually saw Jesus
The Point: Therefore there is no contradiction between Matthew & Luke.
Naaman Compared
to the Centurions Whose Servant was Healed
Naamans experience was invalid -- didnt help him believe Elisha
Centurions experience was validated & used to BELIEVE Jesus
Initial Struggle of Naaman vs. Quicker Great Faith (Earlier) of the Centurion
Enemies of Israel: Born as gentile-pagan foreigners -- Assyrian & Romans
Army: Military Men
Celebrities: Men of authority, power, fame
Low: Healing Needed (they had both been brought low)
Gentlemanly: Cared about their servants -- those under them (At least in some sense)
Faith: Believed Reports -- about Prophets
Saved: They both won! (in the end), so
All is well that ends
well?
Humility Goal: Poor in spirit (Mat_5:3) was the goal they both accomplished, esp. in the end
Heaven: Naaman (Luk_4) and the centurion (Mat_8; Luk_7) got the Kingdom of Heaven!
But Naamans experience was invalid
Superlivitives differences excelencies
Naam = proud heritage
Self-Lowering: He Deeply Embraced his social shame / stigma (Mat_8:7-9/Luk_7:6-8) -- he did not hold to a proud heritage
NO indignation of Saying: doesnt he know who I am??? --
Knew Himself: Centurion knew who he was by his physical occupation & heritage by the time he came toward Jesus -- whereas Naaman initially struggled -- he still had to learn his pagan inferiority when he first came to Elisha
Faith Before Sight: (not faith before proof) Centurion didnt need to meet Jesus in person. (same as above) -- look at what fruit pressed down inferiority complex produces!
LOGIC Saves!: Centurion
used objective logic, after hearing about Jesus in Luk_7:3, to have faith without experientialism;
No Sinful Requirements:
Centurion swiftly denied all these supposed prerequisites and all demands for
his feelings/ego to be stroked, or to have personal subjective experiences
before he might believe.
Self-Tested: Centurion created his own deeper faith requirements.
Created Inspiration: Believed so much he caused more inspiration in Jesus than Jesus even expected at first!
(Disproving Divinity Distraction: Being surprised shows clearly that Jesus was functioning within limited knowledge.)
LEARN!
(reminders)
Dont Stay Childish: Its ok to struggle, but at some point we need to grow up!
Imitate: We need to GROW UP and learn from the Naaman & the Centurion
Put a Line in the Sand: Decide that from this point onward youre choosing to get quicker to faith and not postpone your own salvation any longer, any more.
For mysaefl or others
Practice a
permanent Change of Heart, by Saying: Im sorry for not creating Divine
inspiration in obeyers -- I must give over my indebted, reasonable, logical,
Biblical excited response to the honor dignity of the presence of royal
obedience & gain the benefits through obeyers which I so desperately need
for salvation!
1Co_11:29 CAB For he that eats and drinks irreverently eats and drinks judgment to himself, not judging correctly the body of the Lord.
1Co_11:29 ὁ
γὰρ ἐσθίων
καὶ πίνων
ἀναξίως κρίμα
ἑαυτῷ
ἐσθίει καὶ
πίνει, μὴ
διακρίνων τὸ
σῶμα τοῦ
Κυρίου.
1Co_11:29 ο γαρ εσθιων και πινων TSBαναξιως κριμα εαυτω εσθιει και πινει μη διακρινων το σωμα TSBτου TSBκυριου
1Co_11:30 Because of this many among you are weak and sick, and many have died.
1Co_11:30
διὰ τοῦτο
ἐν ὑμῖν
πολλοὶ
ἀσθενεῖς
καὶ ἄρρωστοι
καὶ
κοιμῶνται
ἱκανοί.
1Co_11:30 δια τουτο εν υμιν πολλοι ασθενεις και αρρωστοι και κοιμωνται ικανοι
1Co_11:31 For if we judge ourselves correctly, we would not be judged.
1Co_11:31
εἰ γὰρ
ἑαυτοὺς
διεκρίνομεν,
οὐκ ἂν
ἐκρινόμεθα·
1Co_11:31 ει Aδε TSBγαρ εαυτους διεκρινομεν ουκ αν εκρινομεθα
1Co_11:32 But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, in order that we may not be condemned with the world.
1Co_11:32
κρινόμενοι
δὲ ὑπὸ τοῦ
Κυρίου παιδευόμεθα,
ἵνα μὴ σὺν
τῷ κόσμῳ
κατακριθῶμεν.
1Co_11:32 κρινομενοι δε υπο Aτου κυριου παιδευομεθα ινα μη συν τω κοσμω κατακριθωμεν
The Point: Self-discipline is better than external correction -- we need to LEARN!
Parables life experiences -- Stybling blocks into blessing
Parables of this Life: The practical physical things that we are assigned to be preoccupied with in this life, are physical parables of moral realities.
Our physical parables in this life lead us to spiritual salvation in the next life, IF (and only IF) we learn from them! (1Co_11:31)
Temple Approval
Parable -- As Our Example
Our Parable Needs Approval: When we get the point, then God comes down and inspires our physical parables much like Solomon building the Temple rightly (1 Kings 5 7 & 2 Chronicles 3 6) and then
Approved Filling: after that physical building was agreeing with all of God's reflections, moral mysteries, and representative types on Earth, then God possessed the temple by filling it with His presence (1 Kings 8 & 2 Chronicles 7).
Learning = Pleasing = Approval: We've learned the point of our human existence and our particular unique life's parables when we do things right in an exact pleasing way according to prescription from heaven in a way that we make a pleasing house for God to come down in -- thats when he fills
See: WKET
Work-Ethic.htm#DoingThingsRight
PROOF of
Learning -- Needed!
We've got the
point & You have learned the lesson of your physical parable in life when
you
We're doing things right -- according Gods rule identity nature-- who he is
We're doing things excellently
We are patient, and trusting, without rushing -- not short-term short sightedness; deleyed gritification
Getting low
Shunning all despising -- no assuming
Act like this centurion
CREATE INSPIRATION in obeyers to do more Truth than they expected, or even planned on doing!
The Point: Creating inspiration in Bible obeyers = Learning from your parable & thats gaining the Kingdom of Heaven
& Creating inspiration = Love
Love = Identity-Knowledge: Love is when you really know who someone is.
Owned Desolation: Centurion owned his own desolation.
Humble Insight = Inspired Perception: The Centurions honest humility (unlike us today) gave him special insight to Love and even reveal who Jesus really was.
Profound Lessons: Pressing yourself down and submissively yielding/deferring to greater Trut,h makes you learn profound and immeasurable lessons from life's parables, even to the point of knowing and declaring who God is to the whole world (like this centurion).

Only JC Needs
Faith? (reminders)
Actually: We Need Faith Beyond Excuses
Excuse Rejected: Stop rebelliously pretending like the centurions Faith only applied to JC 'because he's god'!
Biblical Application: instead obediently apply examples of Faith to each other like the Bible constantly tells us to...
See: Divinity Distraction
1Th_2:13 You received the word of God from as it is in Truth
Gal_4:14 You received me as an angel of God
1Th_2:13 CAB Because of this we also give thanks to God unceasingly, so that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you received not the word of men, but just as it truly is, the word of God, which also is at work in you who believe.

Gal_4:14 And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise nor disdain, but as an angel of God you received me, even as Christ Jesus.
Gal_4:14

Gal_4:15 What then was your blessing? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have torn out your own eyes and given them to me!
Gal_4:15

Have you just been duped by your experience of success like everyone else (struggling like Naaman temp at first), or are you now finally ready to make your life so inspiring it will increase the Word of God on the Earth? (1Th_2:13)
Atheistic-Ignorance
= Not Inspiring Obeyers
(A) You don't know Him who has taken care of you, and blessed you your whole life, and made you to prosper, until you (B) fully take in that blessed experience with deep gratitude & gratefulness toward God, and (C) use it to cause inspiration in obeyers that you have been assigned to believe in so that you can be saved.
How to Inspire?
NOT Just Motivation: We're NOT just talking about motivating people in a so-called "inspirational" sense
Divine Inspiration: Inspiring people is drawing the best out of them from heaven, by
Sharing Gods Coming: believing into eager obeyers you can actually be a part of how God speaks to you through their lives
Heavenly Optimism: Set your hope higher than Naomi has for herself
Impress Heaven: Surprise Jesus with your faith!
Belief &
Unbelief - 2 Things Jesus Marveled At
Mat_8:10 Centurion's great faithJesus marveled; greater than any found in Israel
Luk_7:9 Centurion's faithJesus marveled, turned to crowd, praised unparalleled faith in Israel
Mar_6:6 Nazareth's unbeliefJesus marveled at their persistent unbelief
The Point: When you admire you inspire & you escape the prior dire mire & barbwire of hellfire that will otherwise transpire when you expire.
Disciples Response
Never tire to
admire someone who obeys the entire Bible, they are inspired, full of salt and
God's fire. You must desire their truth or else you will expire in a fire that
never stops tormenting any crier.
So
Who wants to get so low that they admire and inspire obeyers to bring down the heights of heaven, which we so desperately require?
The Judges prove that Humility Admires Obeyers
12 Judges of Israel:
Othniel, Ehud, Shamgar, Deborah, Gideon, Tola, Jair, Jephthah, Ibzan, Elon,
Abdon, Samson
Judges Repeated Pattern (throughout almost the whole book)
Sin → Affliction/Oppression (foreign enemy) → Desperation → Cry/Beg → Deliverer Raised → Relief (Temporary) → Relapse/Apostate/Rebellion (Fall Back into Sinning)
See: LOB > People Saving People?
Letteral-Obedience.htm#PeopleSavePeople
Judges Summaries
Jdg_3:8 Cushan-Rishathaim (king of Aram-Naharaim -- NW Mesopotamia Oppression -- 1st foreign affliction-bondage)
Jdg_3:9 Cried to LORD → Othniel = Savior raised up by God (1st judge deliverer)
Jdg_3:12 Oppressed by Eglon King of Moab
Jdg_3:15 Cried out; Ehud raised up (left-handed savior)
Jdg_4:2-3 Oppressed by Jabin/Sisera (King & Commander/General of Canaan; iron chariots terror; harsh bondage)
Jdg_4:3 Cried out to LORD (severe oppression; distress-driven prayer)
Jdg_4:4-6 Deborah judging; Barak called (prophetess + commander raised)
Jdg_4:8 Barak depends on Deborah (faith mixed with fear)
Jdg_4:9 Honor goes to a woman (Jael foretold)
Jdg_4:21 Jael kills Sisera (unexpected salvation)
Their desperation made them willing to listen to Gods Words in a woman
How low do you have to be brought before you will love, believe, and even obey obeyers who are socially less than you today/right now?
_
Jdg_6:1-6 Oppressed by Midian (poverty, hiding, caves, fear; severe humiliation)
Jdg_6:6 Israel greatly impoverished; cried out (desperation climax; urgency)
Jdg_6:7-10 LORD responds, recalls sin (rebuke before deliverance)
Jdg_6:11-16 Gideon called (reluctant deliverer)
Jdg_8:33-34 Returned to Baal after Gideon; forgot LORD (post-deliverance relapse)
Jdg_9:22-24 Abimelech oppresses (internal corruption judgment)
Jdg_9:56-57 God repays wickedness (judgment without repentance)
Abimelech was an illegal/unauthorized/un-anointed King
Deu_17:14-15 Moses said only have a king chosen by God
Later
1Sa_8:7-8 They half-heartedly try to keep this rule
1Sa_12:17 what an evil thing you didwhen you asked for a king
Jdg_10:6-9 Oppressed by Philistines & Ammonites (dual affliction)
Jdg_10:10 Cried out confessing sin (clear explicit repentance?)
Jdg_10:13-14 God tests their seriousness (rejects shallow cries)
Jdg_10:15-16 Put away idols; cried again (deeper repentance?)
See: Samson Begs God
Whether (A) begging God directly (as seen above) or (B) begging His inspired saviors (as seen throughout these points), GETTING LOW always puts you in the right mind to grab/apprehend inspired salvation
Jephthah proves that Humility Admires Obeyers
Preceding Context: (A) Rebellions with Baal (Jdg_8); (B) Abimelech Rebellions (Jdg_9) & (C) God tests them (Jdg_10) (D)
Jdg_11:4-6 Trouble Awakens Desperation: Oppressed by Ammonites; Jephthah Begged (elders seeking salvation from rejected & now recalled leader)
Jdg_11:7-8 Reversed Rejection: Desperation overrides prior rejection (humbled need drives humility & repentance/reversal)
Jdg_11:9-11 Exalted/Vindicated: Jephthah embraced as head/leader (submission for salvation, under pressure)
Oppression → Desperation → Cry/Beg → Jephthah Vindicated (previously rejected deliverer accepted) → Salvation
Self-Disciplined or Needing Punishment?:
Stubbornness Warning: Do you have a hard heart that requires personally experienced Oppression & Desperation before you can believe Gods saving inspired heroes?
Youre about to lose!
See: ISR > Jephthah
Rough Redemption: God
uses rough characters, but you might have to suffer immensely as part of your
redemption from roughness
Elders Salvation: If
you've been morally lazy like the elders of Gilead, get desperate about your
desolation so you can beg Jephthah to be saved.
Jephthahs Redemption: When you're humble about your heritage then you can be redeemed out of it like Jephthah into salvation
Heb_11:32
And what more should I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, both
Barak and Samson and Jephthah, both David and Samuel and the
prophets:
Heb_11:32 Καὶ τί
ἔτι λέγω;
ἐπιλείψει

Heb_11:38
of whom the world was not worthy, wandering in deserts and mountains and
caves, and the holes of the earth.
Heb_11:38 ὧν οὐκ
ἦν ἄξιος ὁ
κόσμος, ἐν
ἐρημίαις
πλανώμενοι

ουκ ην αξιος ο
κοσμος Aεπι TSBεν
ερημιαις
πλανωμενοι και
ορεσιν και
σπηλαιοις και
ταις οπαις της
γης
Inspired Identity: Notice that loving Jephthah and believing that he is inspired is the same thing - because it's the core of his identity according to what God is saying about him.
Accepted Inspiration: In the same way, with all of the Judges, and with any and all inspired people today: if you are not going to accept them, neither do you have any divine love for them, and you won't be saved by God's inspired obedience into and through them.
Love Brother = Love God
Whoever
doesn't love his brother whom he has seen how can he love God whom he has not
seen
1Jn_2:8 CAB Again, a new commandment I am writing to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.
1Jn_2:8 πάλιν
ἐντολὴν
καινὴν γράφω
ὑμῖν, ὅ
ἐστιν
ἀληθὲς ἐν
αὐτῷ καὶ
ἐν ὑμῖν, ὅτι
ἡ σκοτία
παράγεται
καὶ τὸ φῶς
τὸ ἀληθινὸν
ἤδη φαίνει.
1Jn_2:8 παλιν εντολην καινην γραφω υμιν ο εστιν αληθες εν αυτω και εν υμιν οτι η σκοτια παραγεται και το φως το αληθινον ηδη φαινει
1Jn_2:9 He who says that he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.
1Jn_2:9 ὁ
λέγων ἐν
τῷ φωτὶ
εἶναι, καὶ
τὸν ἀδελφὸν
αὐτοῦ
μισῶν, ἐν
τῇ σκοτίᾳ
ἐστὶν ἕως
ἄρτι.
1Jn_2:9 ο λεγων εν τω φωτι ειναι και τον αδελφον αυτου μισων εν τη σκοτια εστιν εως αρτι
1Jn_2:10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.
1Jn_2:10 ὁ
ἀγαπῶν τὸν
ἀδελφὸν
αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ
φωτὶ μένει,
καὶ σκάνδαλον
ἐν αὐτῷ
οὐκ ἔστιν·
1Jn_2:10 ο αγαπων τον αδελφον αυτου εν τω φωτι μενει και σκανδαλον εν αυτω ουκ εστιν
1Jn_2:11 But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
1Jn_2:11 ὁ δὲ
μισῶν τὸν
ἀδελφὸν
αὐτοῦ ἐν
τῇ σκοτίᾳ
ἐστὶ καὶ
ἐν τῇ
σκοτίᾳ περιπατεῖ,
καὶ οὐκ οἶδε
ποῦ ὑπάγει,
ὅτι ἡ σκοτία
ἐτύφλωσε
τοὺς
ὀφθαλμοὺς
αὐτοῦ.
1Jn_3:13 CAB Do not marvel, my brothers, if the world hates you.
1Jn_3:13 Μὴ
θαυμάζετε,
ἀδελφοί μου,
εἰ μισεῖ
ὑμᾶς ὁ
κόσμος.
1Jn_3:13 Aκαι μη θαυμαζετε αδελφοι TSBμου ει μισει υμας ο κοσμος
1Jn_3:14 We know that we have passed over from death to life, because we love the brothers. He who does not love his brother abides in death.
1Jn_3:14 ἡμεῖς
οἴδαμεν ὅτι
μεταβεβήκαμεν
ἐκ τοῦ
θανάτου εἰς
τὴν ζωήν, ὅτι
ἀγαπῶμεν τοὺς
ἀδελφούς· ὁ
μὴ ἀγαπῶν
τὸν ἀδελφὸν
αὐτοῦ μένει
ἐν τῷ
θανάτῳ.
1Jn_3:14 ημεις οιδαμεν οτι μεταβεβηκαμεν εκ του θανατου εις την ζωην οτι αγαπωμεν τους αδελφους ο μη αγαπων TSBτον TSBαδελφον μενει εν τω θανατω
1Jn_3:15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
1Jn_3:15 πᾶς ὁ
μισῶν τὸν
ἀδελφὸν
αὐτοῦ ἀνθρωποκτόνος
ἐστί· καὶ
οἴδατε ὅτι
πᾶς ἀνθρωποκτόνος
οὐκ ἔχει
ζωὴν
αἰώνιον ἐν
ἑαυτῷ
μένουσαν.
1Jn_3:15 πας ο μισων τον αδελφον αυτου ανθρωποκτονος εστιν και οιδατε οτι πας ανθρωποκτονος ουκ εχει ζωην αιωνιον εν Bεαυτω TSAαυτω μενουσαν
1Jn_3:16 By this we have come to know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives in behalf of our brothers.
1Jn_3:16 ἐν
τούτῳ
ἐγνώκαμεν
τὴν ἀγάπην, ὅτι
ἐκεῖνος
ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν
τὴν ψυχὴν
αὐτοῦ ἔθηκε·
καὶ ἡμεῖς
ὀφείλομεν
ὑπὲρ τῶν
ἀδελφῶν τὰς
ψυχὰς
θεῖναι.
1Jn_3:16 εν τουτω εγνωκαμεν την αγαπην Sτου Sθεου οτι εκεινος υπερ ημων την ψυχην αυτου εθηκεν και ημεις οφειλομεν υπερ των αδελφων τας ψυχας Aθειναι TSBτιθεναι
1Jn_3:17 But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother having need, and shuts off his compassion towards him, how does the love of God abide in him?
1Jn_3:17 ὃς δ᾿ ἂν
ἔχῃ τὸν
βίον τοῦ
κόσμου καὶ
θεωρῇ τὸν
ἀδελφὸν
αὐτοῦ
χρείαν
ἔχοντα καὶ
κλείσῃ τὰ
σπλάγχνα
αὐτοῦ ἀπ᾿
αὐτοῦ, πῶς
ἡ ἀγάπη
τοῦ Θεοῦ
μένει ἐν
αὐτῷ;
1Jn_4:19 CAB We love Him because He first loved us.
1Jn_4:19 ῾Ημεῖς
ἀγαπῶμεν
αὐτόν, ὅτι
αὐτὸς
πρῶτος
ἠγάπησεν
ἡμᾶς.
1Jn_4:19 ημεις αγαπωμεν TSBαυτον οτι αυτος πρωτος ηγαπησεν ημας
1Jn_4:20 If anyone claims, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how is it possible for him to love God whom he has not seen?
1Jn_4:20 ἐάν
τις εἴπῃ ὅτι
ἀγαπῶ τὸν
Θεόν, καὶ
τὸν ἀδελφὸν
αὐτοῦ
μισῇ,
ψεύστης ἐστίν·
ὁ γὰρ μὴ
ἀγαπῶν τὸν
ἀδελφὸν ὃν
ἑώρακε, τὸν
Θεὸν ὃν οὐχ
ἑώρακε οὐ
δύναται
ἀγαπᾶν;
1Jn_4:20 εαν τις ειπη οτι αγαπω τον θεον και τον αδελφον αυτου μιση ψευστης εστιν ο γαρ μη αγαπων τον αδελφον αυτου ον εωρακεν τον θεον ον ουχ εωρακεν Aου TSBπως δυναται αγαπαν
1Jn_4:21 And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God should love his brother also.
1Jn_4:21 καὶ
ταύτην τὴν
ἐντολὴν
ἔχομεν ἀπ᾿
αὐτοῦ, ἵνα ὁ
ἀγαπῶν τὸν
Θεὸν ἀγαπᾷ
καὶ τὸν
ἀδελφὸν
αὐτοῦ.

Faith Without Works Is Dead
Jas_2:14 What does it profit, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Is that kind of faith able to save him?
Jas_2:14 Τί τὸ
ὄφελος,
ἀδελφοί μου,
ἐὰν πίστιν
λέγῃ τις
ἔχειν, ἔργα δὲ
μὴ ἔχῃ; μὴ
δύναται ἡ
πίστις σῶσαι
αὐτόν;
Jas_2:15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,
Jas_2:15 ἐὰν
δὲ ἀδελφὸς
ἢ ἀδελφὴ
γυμνοὶ ὑπάρχωσι
καὶ
λειπόμενοι
ὦσι τῆς
ἐφημέρου
τροφῆς,
Jas_2:15 εαν TSBδε αδελφος η αδελφη γυμνοι υπαρχωσιν και λειπομενοι TSBωσιν της εφημερου τροφης
Jas_2:16 and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the necessary things of the body, what is the benefit?
Jas_2:16 εἴπῃ
δέ τις
αὐτοῖς ἐξ
ὑμῶν, ὑπάγετε
ἐν εἰρήνῃ,
θερμαίνεσθε
καὶ χορτάζεσθε,
μὴ δῶτε δὲ
αὐτοῖς τὰ
ἐπιτήδεια
τοῦ σώματος,
τί τὸ
ὄφελος;
Jas_2:17 Thus also that faith, if it does not have works, is dead, being by itself
Jas_2:17 οὕτω
καὶ ἡ
πίστις, ἐὰν
μὴ ἔργα ἔχῃ νεκρά
ἐστι καθ᾿
ἑαυτήν.
Jas_2:17 ουτως και η πιστις εαν μη TSBεργα εχη Aεργα νεκρα εστιν καθ εαυτην
Mat_25:40 NKJV And the King will answer and say to them, Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.
The Redeemed Dog Woman Jephthah proves that Humility Admires
Obeyers
The Dog Woman is otherwise affectionately known as the Greek, Syro-Phoenician woman of Canaan.
In Mat_15:21-28 and Mar_7:24-30 A Greek, Syro-Phoenician woman of Canaan says she's a dog
Mat_15:21 Jesus departs to Tyre and Sidon (Gentile region)
Mar_7:24 Jesus enters Tyre; seeks privacy (hidden in Gentile area)
Mar_7:25 Woman hears; comes and falls* (urgent faith approach) [προσεπεσεν προς τους ποδας αυτου ]
Mat_15:22 Canaanite
woman cries for mercy (Canaanite identity; daughter demon-possessed) [εκραζεν να[εκραυγασεν] τσβ[αυτω] τσβ]
Mar_7:26 Greek,
Syro-Phoenician* woman (Gentile
identity specified): Throw Out demon? [* ελληνις [συραφοινικισσα] β[συροφοινισσα] τσσυροφοινικισσα να]
Mat_15:23 Jesus silent; disciples urge dismissal (persistent crying [κραζει])
Mat_15:24 Sent only to Israel (mission priority) [τα απολωλοτα οικου ισραηλ ]
Mat_15:25 She
bows pleading help (humble desperation) [[προσεκυνησεν] βπροσεκυνει νατσαυτω]
Mat_15:26 Childrens bread not for dogs [κυναρίοις] (no throwing; Gentile exclusion test)
Mar_7:27 Children fed first; not dogs (priority to Israel stated)
Mat_15:27 YES: Dogs [τὰ κυνάρια] eat crumbs from table (humble persistent faith response)
Mar_7:28 Also:
[και] Dogs eat
crumbs under [υποκατω]
table [YES?: [ναι] τσβκυριε και [γαρ] τσβ]
Mat_15:28 Great faith; daughter healed
Mar_7:29 For this saying, demon [δαιμονιον] gone out (faith-filled, extremely humble response rewarded / honored)
Mar_7:30 Daughter healed at home (confirmed no demon) [δαιμονιον]
Divinity Distraction -- Defined
Outdated/Antiquated/Preoccupation:
Divinity Distractions are caught up in debates that were settled about 2,700
years ago.
Hijacking:
Divinity Distractions are habitually exaggerated, shortsighted, ignorant,
attempts to artificially displace moral requirements about JCs Divinity
instead. <<<<
Disobedient Flattery:
Divinity Distractions are empty religious JC flattery, which end up disobeying
the Bibles authoritative examples and excusing people from imitating the
Gospels of Jesus. <<<
Dont Move the
Milestones *: You are not better than the original
goal/objective of a Bible passage, and when you remove the original motivation
and objective, you displace and lose way more morality than you ever realized
possible.
Jesus Human Humility:
The Incarnation is NOT about Jesus being initially recognized as God -- it
takes until the end of John for Thomas to finally confess that loud and clearly
-- and thats an intentionally highlighted climax in John.
NOT the Exception!
Jesus = Rule, NOT
Exception!: Deep zealous and reverent Obedience to
Jesus authoritative example is more impressive than socially flattering Him
with Divinity Hype that neglects and excuses people from obedient imitation.
The Centurion's begging
is NOT the "exception because it's directed toward JC" !
This is consistent with
everything in the Bible before and after this account
* Pro_22:28 Dont Move the Ancient
Milestones
Pro_22:28 WEB Don't move the ancient boundary stone, which your fathers have set up.
Pro_22:28 LB Do not remove the old landmarks, which your fathers placed.
Pro_22:28 μὴ
μέταιρε ὅρια
αἰώνια, ἃ
ἔθεντο οἱ πατέρες
σου .
There are MANY examples of Divinity
Distraction -- all aimed at reinterpreting and disobeying the original text of
the Scriptures in exchange for cheap and shallow Divinity Flattery
Rev_3:9
Kissing-Toward ≠ Worshipping as God
Rev_3:9 KJV Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship [προσ- toward] before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
This is NOT worship as if to God and we can see that even from English
Rev_3:9 CAB Behold, I will give those of the synagogue of Satan, those who say they are Jews and are not, but they are lyingbehold, I will compel them to come and bow down at your feet [Aηξουσιν Bηξωσι TSηξωσιν και Aπροσκυνησουσιν TSBπροσκυνησωσιν ἐνώπιον τῶν ποδῶν σου], and they shall know that I have loved you.
Rev_3:9 ἰδοὺ
διδωμι ἐκ
τῆς
συναγωγῆς
τοῦ Σατανᾶ
τῶν λεγόντων
ἑαυτοὺς
᾿Ιουδαίους

οὐκ εἰσὶν,

ἰδοὺ ποιήσω
αὐτοὺς ἵνα ἥξουσι
καὶ

Clearly, God is not
causing/promoting/authoring idolatry by making people worship other people!
See: BOW > Wicked Bow to Righteous
Biblical-Bowing.htm#WickedBowtoRighteous
Dog-Acknowledgement Was Not About Jesus Divinity
Just as Rev_3:9
is NOT talking about Worshipping people as God, so also the Dog Woman account
is NOT linguistically about Divinity Worship of Jesus
Mat_15:25
CAB Then she came and worshipped
[προσεκύνησεν
kissed-toward/bowed to] Him, saying, "Lord, help me!"
Mat_15:25 ἡ δὲ
ἐλθοῦσα
προσεκύνησεν
αὐτῷ λέγουσα·
Κύριε,
βοήθει μοι.
Mat_15:25 η δε
ελθουσα Bπροσεκυνησεν
TSAπροσεκυνει
αυτω λεγουσα
κυριε βοηθει
μοι
Notice the inconsistency between Rev_3:9 (προσκυνήσουσιν
→ bow down) and Mat_15:25
(Bπροσεκυνησεν
TSAπροσεκυνει
→ worshipped) -- this is NOT unbiased, but is just the inconsistent
misrepresentations of Divinity Distraction.
Imitate the Dog Woman
Dont
Excuse Yourself with heretical Divinity Distraction!
Desolation Acknowledgement: The dog woman acknowledged the desolation of her flesh, and Jesus announced/reveals the redemption of her faith.
Resist the Divinity Distraction: It's not just because "Jesus is God" -- thats an Immorality of your fleshs story, not the moral to this story; we need the moral righteousness reported to us from the historical account in the Bible.
Rule, NOT Exception: Jesus = the Rule for us to imitate, NOT the Exception to the Rule for us to be excuse ourselves from (as if Hes too lofty for us, just because rebellion flatters JC as g-d).
Incarnation ≠ Divinity Honored: Pretending like Jesus divinity (supposedly) amazed everyone into uncommon reverence for Him as g-d, is just plain old incarnation denial, and misses the whole point of the incarnation (Incarnation = Divinity Emptied, Not Shown!)
Jewish Reverence: Many people in the Gospels, including this woman, revered Jesus as a Jewish Rabbi -- and she needed to get into the benefits of this monotheism!
Our Required Humility, Not His Excused Divinity: Dog Woman NOT so humble just because JC is g-d! -- her humility is what we all need to get low to beg and have faith in the unbiased Truth right in front of us!
A Dog Imitates Ruth: The dog woman has the same begging-faith as Ruth the Moabite -- and Naomi is NOT GOD when Ruth Righteously begs her!
The Point: say YES Im a dog, just like the Dog Woman Did (Mat_15:27), and beg for Truth just like Ruth Did to Naomi
1Sa_25:
The "Dog Woman" has the same virtue as you need from Ruth to Naomi
If you really meet the real Jesus in heaven in prayer and endure in obedient discipleship this is how the real Biblical Jesus treats all of us...
Sir_4:11 Wisdom instructs6[6
[ Sir_4:11] Heb(A), Syr / LXX exalts]
her
children
and admonishes
those who seek her.
12 He who loves
her loves life;
those
who seek her out win her
favor.
13 He who holds her fast inherits glory;
wherever
he dwells,
Yahweh bestows
blessings.
14 Those who serve her serve the Holy One;
those
who love her7[7
[ Sir_4:14] LXX / Syr ; his tent] Yahweh
loves.
15 He who obeys her judges nations;8[8
[ Sir_4:15] LXX / Heb(A), Syr truly]
he who listens to her dwells in her
inmost chambers.
16 If one trusts
her, he will possess her;
his
descendants too will inherit her.9[9
[ Sir_4:16] LXX, Syr / Heb(A) omits If one trusts herinherit her.]
17 She walks
with him as a stranger,
and at first she puts him to the test;
fear and
dread she
brings upon him10[10
[ Sir_4:17] LXX, Syr / Heb(A) omits Fear and dread she brings upon him]
and tries him with her
discipline;
with her precepts
she
puts him to the proof,
until his heart is fully with
her.
18 Then she comes back to bring him happiness
and reveal her
secrets to
him.
19 But if he fails her,
she will abandon
him
and deliver
him into the hands of despoilers.11[11
[ Sir_4:11~19] LXX / Heb(A), Syr has the segment from He who obeysdespoilers
in first person.]
Greek Demons:
Greeks believed there were good demons (Greek: EU = Well-Demons, etc.)
Church-Sanctified-Demons:
These good demons are the same popular personal guidance spirits /
in churches today (personal relationship with the LJC)
Deceptive Molestation:
Good-Feeling Spirits are like a child molester that gives you candy, but the
deception ends in destruction and horrible defilement
Soulish = Demonic:
Your soul was never designed to connect to the spiritual realm -- it gets
demons, so stop being just like the pagans of antiquity!
Jam_3:15
Earthly, Soulish, Demonic [ἐπίγειος,
ψυχική,
δαιμονιώδης]
Jas_3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and strife in your
heart, do not boast and lie against the truth.
Jas_3:14 εἰ δὲ

ἔχετε καὶ
ἐρίθειαν ἐν

και εριθειαν
εν τη καρδια
υμων μη
κατακαυχασθε
και ψευδεσθε
κατα της αληθειας

Thankful, Not Proud
Be thankful for all the ordained
boundaries in which God has placed you (Deu_32:8;
Act_17:26-27 -- quoted below) throughout your life
But be careful to shun being proud of
your flesh because that will disqualify you from the kingdom of heaven, since flesh
and blood cannot inherit God's invisible, non-earthly, spiritual Kingdom.
(i) Flesh is Flesh
Joh_3:5 CAB Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless someone is born of water and of Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Joh_3:5
ἀπεκρίθη
᾿Ιησοῦς·
ἀμὴν ἀμὴν

Joh_3:5 απεκριθη TSο ιησους αμην αμην λεγω σοι εαν μη τις γεννηθη εξ υδατος και πνευματος ου δυναται εισελθειν εις την βασιλειαν του θεου
Joh_3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Joh_3:6 τὸ
γεγεννημένον

γεγεννημένον

(ii) 1Co_15:50 flesh and blood cannot
inherit God's Kingdom
1Co_15:50 CAB Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor can corruption inherit incorruption.

Stories of Pride?
We've all got stories of national ethnic
racial pride, don't we?
Prove New Loyalty:
The dog woman had to prove that she was totally forsaking and renouncing all
national, ethnic, and racial pride and loyalty
Crucify Worldly Pride
Heavenly Intolerance:
There's no room for national pride here!
Crucifixion Required:
We've got to realize our obligations to die to the flesh so that we can serve
in the newness of the Kingdom of heaven.
Tolerating Jessabelle?
(i) Ahab Marries Jezebel
1Ki_16:31 WEB It happened, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.
1Ki_16:31 LB And it was not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, but he took Jezabel the daughter of Ethebaal king of the Sidonians for a wife; and he went and served Baal, and worshipped him.

2Ki_9:21 And Joram said, Make ready. And one made ready the chariot. And Joram the king of Israel went forth, and Ahaziah king of Judah, each in his chariot, and they went to meet Jehu, and found him on the property of Naboth the Jezreelite.

2Ki_9:22 WEB It happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? He answered, What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?
2Ki_9:22 And it came to pass when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And Jehu said, How can it be peace, as long as there are the harlotries of your mother Jezebel, and her abundant witchcrafts?

Proof:
Prove Youve Fully Rejected ALL Demons
Woman & YOU:
This Proof was Needed From Dog Woman, and is needed from you!
Desolation
Acknowledgment: Dog woman needed to prove that she was
now embracing the desolation of her flesh and heritage, and was ashamed of her
(physical-spiritual) identity.
Why admit Your Dog?:
Dogging your heritage is the same as surrendering to conviction of your demonic
dirty desolate heritage
Moral Maturity:
Have you gotten to this point of humility yet?
Ethnic Pride?:
Are you proud of your heritage?
Self-justified?:
Are you Protecting Your Independent, Self-sufficient, Self-respecting,
self-identified Dignity, Honor, and Prominence?
Identity Violation:
Protecting Your Independent Identity = Pride, & Always stops you from
having humble faith in the Truth Beneath your feet
Faith Needed:
We cant have faith to humbly change our identity by listening to those we see
beneath ourselves -- Remember Naaman, who was Healed of Leprosy in 2Ki 5!
Dog Faith?:
Do you believe that you're a dog yet? --
Jesus Salvation:
Dog Humility = Saving Faith! -- That is who you are in light of to WHO Jesus
is!
Pride → Identity Protection →
No Faith in Inspiration/Repentance/Changing/Romance:
Pride → Above Others → Protecting Independent Identity &
Worldly Heritage → [x] No Humility or Saving Faith → Unbelief &
Despising Inspiration on Earth -- Not Listening to Those Under you announcing
demanded Change from God → No Change or Heavenly Romance → [x] No
Salvation, Transformation
The Point:
Get Low to Change Under Divine Inspiration on Earth!
Dog Woman↓ Jewish
Rabbi↑
Admire Above:
When youve lowered yourself enough then you're compelled to admire those above
you.
Admire Inspiration:
Being lowered enough makes you powerfully admire the Truth In Those whom God
has inspired to save you.
We see from the Dog Woman that once you go
down enough you automatically admire the obeyers who are above you, and
then you can be saved.
The Point:
Do whatever it takes to get low -- there is NO Love, faith, or New Covenant
salvation apart from humility under Divine Inspiration!

WHO does God pay attention to??? Where Does Discernment intersect practical choices we make every day?
Isa_66:2 WEB For all these things has my hand made, and so all these things came to be," says Yahweh: "but to this man will I look, even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
Isa_66:2 LB For all these things are Mine, says the Lord; and to whom will I have respect, but to the humble and meek, and the man that trembles at My words?
Isa_66:2 πάντα
γὰρ ταῦτα
ἐποίησεν ἡ
χείρ μου, καὶ ἔστιν
ἐμὰ πάντα
ταῦτα, λέγει

ἐπὶ τίνα ἐπιβλέψω

ES: The Book of Remembrance
Mal_3:16 WEB Then those who feared Yahweh spoke one with another; and Yahweh listened, and heard, and a book of memory was written before him, for those who feared Yahweh, and who honored his name.
Mal_3:16 LB Thus they spoke, those that feared the Lord, everyone to his neighbor: and the Lord gave heed, and listened, and He wrote a book of remembrance before him for them that feared the Lord and reverenced His name.
Mal_3:16 Ταῦτα

Mal_3:17 WEB They shall be mine," says Yahweh of Armies, "my own possession in the day that I make, and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.
Mal_3:17 And they shall be Mine, says the Lord Almighty, in the day which I appoint for a peculiar possession; and I will make choice of them, as a man makes choice of his son that serves him.
Mal_3:17 καὶ

Mal_3:18 WEB Then you shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who doesn't serve him.
Mal_3:18 Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, and between him that serves God, and him that does not serve Him.

discernment or (more literally) Perception sees the value of God inside of people -- and therefore admires obeyers!

Mal_3:14 special perception, including
Mal_4:4, etc. Moses & Elijah (2 Witnesses
of Rev_11)
Malachis Humility precedes (Mal_2:9) and follows the special perception (Mal_3:14)
of those fearing God (Mal_3:16)
UN-Common: the holy huddle in Malachi 3 is not common people mixed with other apostate common people.
Holy Gathering: fearing God (Mal_3:16) is a specific unique identifying qualification for the Holy Huddle of sacred special people.
Fear Gives Perception: The special reverence of gathering with extra righteous, separated, God-fearing people, practically requires and prophetically predicts perceiving the difference between each other and the apostasy they are entrenched in all around (Mal_3:14).
Differentiation is Discernment: Huddling away from conventional apostasy (Mal_3:14) prophetically predicts that they will disapprove of the wrong people and approve of the right people (Mal_3:18).
End-times Discernment: this perceptive discernment (in Mal_3:14, Mal_3:18 and also seen in Php_1) takes them on into the ultimate End Times perception of Moses and Elijah in the very next chapter (Mal_4:4, etc.).
Saving Discernment: this End-times Discernment of Moses and Elijah is the only way to escape antichrist by perceiving the right people (Php_1:9-10) with real Love (Php_1:9), spotless-blamelessness (Php_1:9-10; Eph_5:26-27; Rev_19:6-7, etc.), from the Revelation of the Two Witnesses (Rev_11) all the way to the Revelation of Jesus Anointed One Himself (Rev_19).
Humility Perceives
Obeyers: All it takes to see Truth about obeyers
is to get low enough.
(No Opinions with
Discernment: did I make up this principle or is it clearly and repeatedly
taught and talked about all throughout the Bible? -- Perception is NOT the
human realm where people can believe uninspired falsehood if they want!)
Honesty Sees the Right
People: We have to get morally honest with our
consciences before the Truth with this down-up issue -- especially when
applied to perceiving who the right people are.
The Lowly Perspective
is Love-Perceptive: You only Love other people, especially
obeyers, when you get lower beneath them, and REALLY see them as exalted as God
sees them in the future!
Mount of Transfiguration
Just as the vision of the Transfiguration
predicted the future in many ways, so also God sees the future Glory of His
adopted Children as well
Rom_8:30 whom He justified, these He also glorified.
Rom_8:30 οὓς δὲ
προώρισε,
τούτους καὶ
ἐκάλεσε,
καὶ οὓς
ἐκάλεσε,
τούτους καὶ
ἐδικαίωσε,
οὓς δὲ
ἐδικαίωσε,
τούτους καὶ
ἐδόξασε.
And this is predictive as Paul has
already said a few verses before this
ES: Future Glory
Rom_8:18 For
I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory to be
revealed in us.
Future Glory
Rom_8:18 Λογίζομαι

Rom_8:19 For
the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly awaits the unveiling of the
sons of God.
Rom_8:19 ἡ

Rom_8:19 η γαρ
αποκαραδοκια

the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but on account of Him
who subjected it in hope;
Rom_8:20 τῇ

οὐχ ἑκοῦσα,
ἀλλὰ διὰ

ματαιοτητι η
κτισις υπεταγη
ουχ εκουσα αλλα

Rom_8:21
because even the creation itself shall be freed from the slavery of corruption
into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
Rom_8:21 ὅτι

ἀπὸ τῆς

κτισις
ελευθερωθησεται
απο της δουλειας
της φθορας εις

Rom_8:22 For
we know that all the creation groans together and labors in birth together
until now.
Rom_8:22 οἴδομεν
γὰρ ὅτι πᾶσα
ἡ κτίσις

καὶ συνωδίνει

Listen!
Open up your ears and realize something!
Love:
When you remove all doubt then you can Love each other without restriction!
Excitement:
thats UNRESTRICTED Love! And Paul is VERY excited about it throughout Php_1 and the rest of the epistles
Honest Love = Resolved
Perception: Love is when you totally settle the
issue of acknowledging who each person really is according to God's perception
and identification of their truest value and identity.
Admire the Approval:
Look at (1) who God acknowledges (Isa_66:2)
and look at (2) how amazingly He acknowledges them (Mal_3)!
Admire the Exaltation:
Look at how He empowers them with humbled virtue to perceive (Mal_3:), and look at how they use that
perception to embrace the Two Witnesses in the next chapter! (Mal_4:4, etc.)
Admire the Saving
Virtue: Look at how impressive it is for people
to (1) be humble and (2) fear God and (3) Love each other, (4) lowly enough to
see who each other really is, and (5) get recognized by God Himself with
approval in favor
Exciting
Authentication: When God writes a book about you, then
you are essentially already a hero written in the Bible, Because it's God's
inspired book youre in!
No Despising:
God is not assuming that His heroes are uninspired by writing them in His
inspired book! -- Hes not despising His own Heroes like church people do!
Repent:
We need to destroy all despising to get in the inspired book!
its time to Get Broken!

BELIEVE: Have Faith in God & Gideon for Salvation!
Church People are fond of telling obeyers that they cant save anyone, which reinforces Gideons fears against Gods saving inspiration.
Its time people finally started listening to inspiration and having faith in God and Gideon!
God & Gideons Salvation!
(A) Dreamed by Enemies
Jdg_7:14 WEB His fellow answered, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: into his hand God has delivered Midian, and all the army.
Jdg_7:14 LB And his neighbor answered and said, This is none other than the sword of Gideon, son of Joash a man of Israel: God has delivered Midian and all the host into his hand.
Jdg_7:14 καὶ
ἀπεκρίθη ὁ
πλησίον αὐτοῦ
καὶ εἶπεν Οὐκ
ἔστιν αὕτη εἰ
μὴ ῥομφαία
Γεδεων υἱοῦ
Ιωας ἀνδρὸς
Ισραηλ·
παρέδωκεν ὁ
θεὸς ἐν χειρὶ
αὐτοῦ τὴν Μαδιαμ
καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν
παρεμβολήν.

Jdg_7:15 καὶ
ἐγένετο ὡς
ἤκουσεν
Γεδεων τὴν
ἐξήγησιν τοῦ
ἐνυπνίου καὶ
τὴν σύγκρισιν
αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσεκύνησεν
κυρίῳ καὶ
ὑπέστρεψεν
εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν
Ισραηλ καὶ
εἶπεν
Ἀνάστητε, ὅτι
παρέδωκεν κύριος
ἐν χειρὶ ἡμῶν
τὴν
παρεμβολὴν
Μαδιαμ.
(B) Trumpet Instructions
Jdg_7:18 WEB When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, For Yahweh and for Gideon.
Jdg_7:18 LB And I will blow the trumpet, and all you with me shall blow your trumpets round about the whole camp, and you shall say, For the Lord and Gideon.
Jdg_7:18 καὶ
σαλπιῶ ἐν τῇ
κερατίνῃ ἐγώ,
καὶ πάντες
μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ
σαλπιεῖτε ἐν
ταῖς
κερατίναις
κύκλῳ ὅλης τῆς
παρεμβολῆς
καὶ ἐρεῖτε Τῷ
κυρίῳ καὶ τῷ Γεδεων.
(C) Trumpets Blown

Jdg_7:20 LB and the three companies blew their trumpets, and smashed their pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and in their right hands their horns to sound with; and they cried out, A sword for the Lord and for Gideon.
Jdg_7:20 καὶ
ἐσάλπισαν αἱ
τρεῖς ἀρχαὶ ἐν
ταῖς κερατίναις
καὶ
συνέτριψαν
τὰς ὑδρίας καὶ
ἐκράτησαν ἐν
χερσὶν
ἀριστεραῖς
αὐτῶν τὰς
λαμπάδας καὶ
ἐν χερσὶν
δεξιαῖς αὐτῶν
τὰς κερατίνας
τοῦ σαλπίζειν
καὶ ἀνέκραξαν
Ῥομφαία τῷ
κυρίῳ καὶ τῷ Γεδεων.
Saving Faith Reminders
Lost Salvation: Gideons example is the saving faith of the Good Message, which is universally denied by church virtually everywhere today. But
Embrace Inspired Salvation: Look at all of the saving faith that God put into Gideon!
As said in BSSm:
'BELIEVE God & Moses' (Exo_3:18; Exo_4:1, Exo_4:4-5, Exo_4:29-31; Exo_14:31; Exo_19:9; Luk_16:27-31; (Joh_1:45); Joh_5:30-47; Mal_4:4; Act_26:22; Act_28:23; 1Co_4:6; 2Ti_3:15-17; Heb_3:5), 'the Lord & Gideon' (Jdg_7:18, Jdg_7:20), & 'BELIEVE God & His prophet(s)' (2Ch_20:20; i.e. Luk_16), incl. the least:
Luk_6:23; Mat_5:12; Mat_25:40, Mat_25:45 ; (2)(iv)(v), because Assuming Non‑inspiration = Unbelief/Atheism
[Eph_2:12] = Hell (1)(i)(ii), (2)(iv)(v)

Luk_7:7 Therefore I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

Luk_7:8 For I also am a man appointed under authority, having soldiers under myself. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
Luk_7:8 καὶ

Luk_7:9 When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turning to the crowd following Him, He said, "I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!"
Luk_7:9

1Ti_1:13 I, who was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I was shown mercy because, being ignorant, I did it in unbelief,

1Ti_1:15 Faithful is this word, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am first.
1Ti_1:15 Πιστὸς

1Ti_1:16 However, because of this I was shown mercy, so that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, as a pattern for those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.

Impossible Mission-Adventure
Topic I've been thinking about and wondering if holy Sir
has more to say: Believing that God wants us to do hard things. God has called
his ppl to do what feels impossible very often. To push through what feels like
human limitations through faith and wisdom.
I've been thinking through not being angry or resentful
towards God for asking us to push through hard things. Like the default is to
say there is a wall here and I don't want to tackle it. But I find it
interesting that God has called us to be like athletes and warriors, who unlike
the average person, it's their job to push through the limitations of the human
body. Been thinking through this call to be courageous and push through
barriers and weaknesses that feel hard to push through, like an athlete pushing
through another rep even though their body is screaming to give up. And
embracing this calling and not resenting it or even hating it.
I wonder if holy Sir has more words on this topic to really
drive in some deep truths about it.
Psa_18:29; 2Sa_22:30 I can scale a wall bust through a troop
It is commonly repeated by modern Jews, Christians, and other pagan philosophies that humility is not self-abasement, but holding a balanced view of your place in the world -- not over or under estimating your skills, abilities, and worth in this world, among others.
Religious people will even lie and say the Hebrew word for humility or meekness literally means to not have an overvalued or even undervalued perspective of yourself.
But this is NOT the meekness of wisdom!

Wicked people want to lead when this world looks great and successful, but when the odds are against you and the situation is dire then wicked people shy away and show that their previous ambitions had nothing to do with courage and faith.

our particular trials are part of God strategic Providence to form our characters and identities

Php_4:13 I can strongly do all things

Overwhelmed Path: If you feel overwhelmed, this is a Biblically valid path toward your greatness.
Do Not Despise: Do NOT despise being overwhelmed with details and burdens, nor despise anyone else under this trial and affliction.
Detail Awareness: God is in the details -- all throughout the Bible.
Capacity Prayer: Dont despise having too much overwhelmed need, but pray for greater capacity to embrace Gods calling for greatness.
LEARN from Num_12!
Num 11 -- Moses is overwhelmed by leadership responsibility!
Moses does not want to keep being a leader!
In Num 11 Moses already desperately wanted out of leadership before numbers 12

2Co_12:9 And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

2Co_12:10 Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in calamities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For whenever I am weak, then I am strong.

Jam_3:15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.

Moses = meekest; So is Jesus
Notice there's nothing wrong with Jesus or Moses describing themselves as being meek, even if Moses is accused of writing that about Himself in Number 12.
2Co_10:1 CAB Now I, Paul, myself appeal to you [παρακαλῶ ὑμᾶς] by the meekness and gentleness of Christ [διὰ τῆς πρᾳότητος καὶ ἐπιεικείας τοῦ Χριστοῦ], I who face to face am lowly [ταπεινὸς] among you, but when I am away am bold toward you.

2Co_10:2 But I beseech you that when I am present I may not be bold with the confidence with which I plan to be bold toward some, who consider us as walking according to the flesh.

See: Philippians 1 -- Paul has Jesus Bowels, just like we see here in 2Co_10:1.
Do you need humility to be saved?
In other words
Do you need Jesus and His Meekness in you to be saved?
The Point: Imitate Jesus inspired meekness of saving wisdom to be saved (2Ti_3:14-17)!
Just as Jesus had faith in the Father to save Him (Heb_5:7) so also we need to Imitate Jesus saving submissive, humble, meek wisdom to be saved by Him.
Jesus was a Beggar -- (Reminder!: 2Co_8:9, etc.)
Begging*= Faith = Heaven: Psa_34:1-22, etc. = Mat_5:3-12, etc. (2)(vi)= Luk_6:20-23 = Luk_16:20-22 = Jam_2:5 = 2Co_6:3-10 (iii)↔ 2Co_8:9
Heb_5:7 To the One Who Could Save Him From Death
Heb_5:7 CAB who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up both prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears to the One who was able to save [σῴζειν] Him from death, and was heard because of His fear of God,
Heb_5:7 ὃς ἐν
ταῖς

Heb_5:8 though He was a Son, He learned obedience [ὑπακοήν] by the things which He suffered.
Heb_5:8 καίπερ
ὢν υἱὸς,
ἔμαθεν ἀφ᾿ ὧν
ἔπαθε τὴν
ὑπακοήν,
Heb_5:9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him [ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ],
Heb_5:9 καὶ
τελειωθεὶς
ἐγένετο
τοῖς ὑπακούουσιν
αὐτῷ πᾶσιν
αἴτιος
σωτηρίας
αἰωνίου,
Heb_5:9 και τελειωθεις εγενετο Aπασιν τοις υπακουουσιν αυτω TSBπασιν αιτιος σωτηριας αιωνιου
Example: If we see the meekness of Anointed One,
Imitate: Its high time we got broken to imitate His meekness enough to cry out with zeal and clean faith to be saved
Because Biblical meekness is the character and identity of Jesus Meekness Mat_11:29; 2Co_10:1
and it is certainly taboo to think that Jesus's character & identity doesn't Save you!
Divine-Human Nature:
We all know that Jesus Spirit is Divine, and his body was human.
Full Nature Affirmed:
We all know Jesus was fully God and fully human.
Soul Uncertainty:
Interestingly, many people are not really sure about Jesus's soul
Human Soul Assertion:
Despite average ignorance, the Bible makes it very clear that Jesus had to have
a human soul, even though I could actually get confused as a heretic for
claiming something like this in some circles
So
Time to Review the Basics of the Soul
Let's get back to basics and review the
fundamental realities of human creation, which the Bible so clearly lays in
front of us (so that we won't lose our minds and go to completely crazy)
Person vs. Machine:
Creating, begetting, and Beginning a PERSON, is not just making a machine made
of dirt.
Dirt-Body
Precedes Soul-Life: Dirt was already there before God's
Spirit blew on it.
It can be said that God formed Adam or
Man (which are the same Hebrew word) Out of the dust of
the ground (Gen_2), and this is initially talking about the machine made of
dirt which was simply Adam's body, and this body can be called Adam and
Man, showing that a humans physical body is a part of their
preceding identity, however this mechanical part of his identity which is
initially called Adam correlates with the redness of the dirt, not the life
of his soul which came later.
So indeed the body can be called a persons name as part of their
identity, and the first human body was essentially called dirt by its
association with the redness of Adams skin, because man is implicitly
red in Hebrew, implying that man's skin retained the rich redness of
claylike dirt, and none of this implies the color-less
metaphysical vitality that can only be transmitted through God blowing energy
of life and vitality through His Spirit wind into Adams nostrils later on.
Therefore the machine which was called the redness of dirt, was
carefully formed and structured to become a piece of a potential identity of
the personhood, or soul, who had not been begotten and generated yet, in the
exact same way that an egg and a seed are the same mechanical dirt
impregnated with human potential, with the seed particularly somehow carrying
the explosive potential vitality, contained and separated in some form or
fashion within it, awaiting implantation in the dirt, or the mother earth
of the egg, and then the seed exploding itself inside the egg to implant the
genetic information along with the vital solution to create and generate a
human soul.
So the mechanics of the first human body were named after the
redness of claylike dirt, and this is where we get the name Adam from in
Hebrew, and this body signified a foreshadowing prediction of the personhood
that would be created within this body when God blew into this dirt machine a
wind of vitality, and begot the dirt machine into a living soul. This is how the red man Adam began to
be a living soul -- and this "beginning" of "Genesis" is
called "begetting" or "generating", which shows that a
humans vital personhood begins to exist when they are begotten into a human
soul.
Personhood Begins
Begetting a PERSON, is making SOMEONE,
and the individual and unique personhood of "someone" is not the dirt
that is there before the Spirit, but rather it is the human soul that is
resulting there after the Spirit impacts the dirt.
A Soul-Life Begins in the Womb
Because of this it is right to not only
say that life begins in conception, but even to say that beginning and
begetting a living Soul starts in the womb, and that the proper term of
PRODUCING a CHILD is the finished PRODUCT - and these completion terms are all
(linguistically) one in the same in Greek.
Compilation
Soul Compilation:
Spirit Plus dirt is how Adam was generated/begotten as a living soul.
Life Begins at
Conception: Adam was begotten by God's Spirit-Wind
blowing onto the dirt, and this is called generating or begetting a soul,
and ever since then, from that point onward, in this exact same way all human
life has been generated, every time a seed carries the spark of generation to
the mother's egg.
New Soul Created:
God's Spirit Plus Eve's egg necessarily generates a New human Soul, when
creating a new person, including a SOUL.
3 Stages of Starting Human Life
(1) Dirt / Machine / Potential / Body (or
a potential body)
(2) Spirit-Wind+Dirt / Seed+Egg /
Conception / Combination / Begetting / Beginning / Genesis / Generation /
Soul-creation / Personhood Begotten / Fruit of the Womb Growing
(3) Producing / Product / Child / Birth /
Finished Result / Harvested Fruit
(Ancient Concepts weve Lost: these key
words & concepts represent accurate ancient foundational understandings
that we've almost completely lost in our less functional dialects today.)
Jesus's
Soul has to be human for several reasons...
2nd Adam:
He's the second Adam -- Adam was a generated human soul - which was NOT
eternal!
Only-Kind:
Since Jesus is called the only-kind-generated-One,
therefore this word generated or begotten necessarily
communicates the same miracle of making and generating new human life, which is
a soul.
Submitted Human Will:
Jesus had His own will to submit to the Father (seen below) - a never before
experienced reality!
Luk_22:42 NKJV saying, Father, if it is
Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be
done.
Joh_6:38 NKJV For I have come down from
heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
Joh_5:30 NKJV I can of Myself do nothing
I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
Jesus = the 2nd
Adam
Adams Soul =
Spirit-Begotten/generated (Gen_2)
Adam's soul was
generated by God's Spirit, therefore
Jesus soul was also
generated by God's Spirit (Mat_1-2; Luk_1-2)
Jesus = the Second/Last Adam
1Co_15:45 NKJV And so it is written, The
first man Adam became a living being. The last Adam became a life-giving
spirit.
Rom_5:18 NKJV Therefore, as through one
mans offense judgment came to all men even so through one Mans righteous act
the free gift came to all men
Rom_5:19 NKJV For as by one mans
disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Mans obedience many will
be made righteous.
Jesus Grew in all kind of ways
throughout the Bible.
Knowledge
Favor with God and Man
Isa_7:14 WEB Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Isa_7:14 LB Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive in the womb, and shall bring forth a son, and you shall call His name Emmanuel.
Isa_7:14 διὰ
τοῦτο δώσει
κύριος αὐτὸς
ὑμῖν σημεῖον·
ἰδοὺ ἡ
παρθένος ἐν
γαστρὶ ἕξει
καὶ τέξεται υἱόν,
καὶ καλέσεις
τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ
Εμμανουηλ·
Isa_7:15 WEB He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
Isa_7:15 Butter and honey shall He eat, before He knows either to prefer evil or choose the good.
Isa_7:15
βούτυρον καὶ
μέλι φάγεται·
πρὶν ἢ γνῶναι

προελέσθαι
πονηρὰ
ἐκλέξεται τὸ
ἀγαθόν·
Isa_7:16 WEB For before the child knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.
Isa_7:16 For before the child shall know good or evil, He shall refuse evil, to choose the good; and the land shall be forsaken which you are afraid of because of the two kings.
Isa_7:16 διότι
πρὶν ἢ γνῶναι
τὸ παιδίον
ἀγαθὸν ἢ κακὸν
ἀπειθεῖ πονηρίᾳ
τοῦ
ἐκλέξασθαι τὸ
ἀγαθόν, καὶ
καταλειφθήσεται
ἡ γῆ, ἣν σὺ φοβῇ
ἀπὸ προσώπου
τῶν δύο
βασιλέων.
Luk_2:40 NKJV And the Child grew and
became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
Luk_2:52 NKJV And Jesus increased in
wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Heb_5:8 NKJV though He was a Son, yet He
learned obedience by the things which He suffered.
None of this development of a
rational-logical soul to grow in favor with God and man is possible with a soul
which has already been Divine before being incarnated
A Souls Battle -- The
Battle of a Human Soul
A New Soul which has to learn knowledge
and fight to become rational and overcome the irrational temptations in the
wilderness of Matthew 4 and Luke 4 are all explicit features of a human soul
that has to make choices, which is what the soul does, in the sense of mind
over Matter, and there has to be then a choice as a human to submit to God,
since the Son of God was already eternally 'in the bosom of the Father' without
any thing to accomplish beyond what His infinite identity already was.
Temptation Must Be Real
If Jesus Spirit and soul were both
Divine and only his body were human, temptation collapses and the very idea is
flattened as irrelevant and meaningless - there has to be a development of the
Soul to become rational and learn through the human brain to please God,
through the Scriptures and inspired insight.
Mere Flesh Cannot Struggle
A body alone is no match for the ease of
God's eternal nature overriding every sin and temptation possible.
He has to be the same creature as men to
please God on behalf of men, and that includes especially his human sacrifice
to redeem humans
Incarnated Sacrifice
= Necessary
If God wanted to be as God on the cross
and there's no need for incarnation.
Other Sacrifices Possible
There are many other ways to offer some
sort of celestial sacrifice
Humanity Must Be Full
It's necessary that Jesus become
completely human because no other sacrifice would satisfy God for the sins of
humans.
Humanity Was Required
The non-negotiable requirement to become
human was specifically to enter into humanity and offer a sacrifice on their
behalf, not to be as God who hasn't become human and therefore doesn't properly
make God happy on behalf of humans when he stays God or an angel or any other
creature.
The HUMAN Soul
Offered Up
For Jesus's sacrifice, it says He poured
out His "soul", which was HUMAN, because a sacrifice of God does
not make atonement for the sins of HUMANS.
The Perfect Human Sacrifice
It is wrongly thought that it had to be
God on the cross, when in reality, it had to be a perfect human on the cross,
and God incarnate happened to be the only one who fit that description
Jesus's sacrifice was infinitely
valuable, not because he was God, since God did not kill God on the cross, but
God killed His HUMAN Son, and (not or) His HUMAN Son willingly gave up His
life, and yet only He could offer an infinitely valuable sacrifice because of
God's perfecting Spirit in Him - which is the second ADAM/MAN, not "the
second god", and this fulfills the original Adam's purpose to become a creature
of infinite value - which is what we now are all called to do in following
Jesus and gaining all of His benefits, being One Spirit with him who is God (1
Corinthians 6) and ultimately being joined into his physical identity as well
(1 John 3; 1 Corinthians 15).
Incarnations Moral Revelation
The cross reveals a profound moral
necessity that the Incarnation teaches us:
Humanity Exalted
We can become of immeasurable and
infinite value as humans if we're inspired by God's Spirit, especially by the unique
pioneering accomplishment of Jesus, who became as we are so that we could
become as he is and reap the benefits of his startling perfection, even though
we have an otherwise highly disqualifying tainted past.
Shared Perfection Offered
The same inspiration which Jesus
perfectly obtained for us on our behalf is now passed on to us and held in
front of us to press in to grab hold of to enter into his perfect value which
we could never get ourselves so that we might be lifted up to God's lofty
standards through him and necessarily be transformed into immeasurable value by
God's own identity housing and living inside of us.
Somehow, in the mystery of the
Incarnation, Jesus has to become completely human and offer it as us to appease
Himself over our sins
Breaking Sin Forever:
He broke our sinning to bring us to God, which humans never figured out on
their own in any respect on any level.
Where Does Jesus Divinity fit into the
incarnation?
The Unique Begetting
The one of a kind,
especially begotten Son of God is different and unique because this time
instead of just propelling Spirit wind toward dirt he carried the full identity
of his consciousness into the dirt with the Holy Spirit blowing on and INTO
Mary's egg.
Adams soul was
generated by simply propelling vitality
(KAI / Zoe) toward and into Adam's mechanically dirt body
Jesus was generated
when God not only propelled life toward and into an egg, but also carried His
own eternal consciousness as the Word of God into Mary's egg.
God Our Savior
God's identity is our savior
Salvation Reveals God: He has revealed
Who He is by saving us.
Jesus = Lords Salvation
God's identity is salvation and this is
the core meaning of Jesus's name in Hebrew.
Gods SAVIOR
Identity
Jesus had to be identified as
God because it is absolutely necessary to show Who God is when He becomes our
complete salvation.
Our Divine Hero
Therefore God has to be the ultimate one
who saves us and it is proper for him to be our great hero in everything.
His human life was filled with perfect
obedience and proclaiming the Truth and spiritual realities and call to
discipleship which would make you a part of His atonement.
Rom_5:19 CAB For through the disobedience of the one man the many were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the One many shall be constituted righteous.
Rom_5:19 ὥσπερ
γὰρ διὰ τῆς
παρακοῆς τοῦ
ἑνὸς ἀνθρώπου
ἁμαρτωλοὶ
κατεστάθησαν
οἱ πολλοί, οὕτω
καὶ διὰ τῆς

Mat_3:14 But John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I have need by You to be baptized, and You are coming to me?"
Mat_3:14 ὁ δὲ

Mat_3:14 ο δε ιωαννης διεκωλυεν αυτον λεγων εγω χρειαν εχω υπο σου βαπτισθηναι και συ ερχη προς με
Mat_3:15 But Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he permitted Him.
Mat_3:15

Gal_4:4 οτε δε ηλθεν το πληρωμα του χρονου εξαπεστειλεν ο θεος τον υιον αυτου γενομενον εκ γυναικος γενομενον υπο νομον
Gal_4:5 so that He might redeem those under the law, so that we might receive the adoption.
Gal_4:5 ἵνα

Jesus built up a life of incomprehensible
Perfection and righteousness of immeasurable purity as a human with stored up
virtue righteousness passions perfections inspiration so that as this kind of
aww striking human he could make redemption for his fellow humans.
Heb_5:8-9 Made Perfect → Author

Joh_18:36 CAB Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I might not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here."

Joh_18:37 Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."
Joh_18:37 εἶπεν

Joh_18:38 Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no fault in Him.

of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same
Heb_10:5 CAB Therefore, when He entered into the world, He said: "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me.

Joh_17:6 I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You have given them to Me, and they have kept Your word.
Joh_17:6

2Ti_2:8 Seed of David according to the
gospel
Rom_1:3 NKJV concerning His Son Jesus
Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,
Act_13:23 NKJV From this mans seed,
according to the promise, God raised up for Israel a SaviorJesus
2Ti_2:8 NKJV Remember that Jesus Christ,
of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel,
Good Message requires embracing the
practical historical reality Jesus physical humanity.
On-Demand Prophecy & Miracles =
Heresy
Mar_7:34 Jesus SIGHED after
recalibrating His atmosphere -- when it was time for healing
Mar_7:34 NKJV Then, looking up to heaven,
He sighed, and said to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
NOT at a moments notice saying Lazarus
come forth (as wicked religious YouTuber said) -- that is blasphemous
heretical rebellious antichrist incarnation denial!
Joh_5:28 NKJV the hour is coming in
which all who are in the graves will hear His voice
Joh_11:25 NKJV Jesus said to her, I am
the resurrection and the life
Joh_11:33 NKJV Therefore, when Jesus saw
her weeping He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.
Joh_11:43 NKJV Now when He had said these
things, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth!
Lost Virtue: Whats missing in Conventional Incarnation, Death, Burial, & Resurrection Theology?
Story or Incarnation of inspiration?: Is JC an easy story to tell, or is His sacrifice (condemning all sinning) incarnate in you?
Application Needed: Make sure that the Word has become flesh in your body so that your celebration is rational and valid and factually results in eternal life.
Be careful not to remove any elements of the good message.

1Ti_3:16 CAB And confessedly, great is the mystery of godliness: |God| [Aος TSBθεος] was manifested in the flesh [ἐφανερώθη ἐν σαρκί], justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, and was received up in glory.

Easy or Sacrificial?
Easy
orthodoxy is about the only thing church gets it right (...sometimes).
Sacrificial
orthodoxy is where you get saved.
In Philippians 2 people are often
striking out on both levels, and Even if they get the easy part right,
they virtually never find the sacrificial part.
Atonement Needed
Participating in the atonement is giving
up and surrendering this life to the Lordship of the Scriptures, and obeying
everything God is telling us to do.

Vital:
Why is the incarnation SO IMPORTANT???
No Flexibility?:
Why cant you teach a little wrong on this issue and it is just different
interpretations & opinions?
Right to interpet
Have their own opioion?
Finding a way to deny the incarnation is
a deadly and serious a crime...
Authoritative Example:
Jesus is our authoritative example we absolutely must imitate to be saves
Cross Requirement:
You're not allowed to save your own soul life and not take up your cross
Submitted Speech:
You're not allowed to speak your own words & have theology/opionions
Cruciform Mindset:
You have to take up the same self-sacrificing crucifixion mindset Jesus had
Union Required:
You have to be unified with Jesus's death and resurrection to be saved at all!
Irrelevance is
Rejected: Pushing Jesus's life far away from your
obedience and denying His relevance to your requirements will condemn your soul
to hell
Incarnation = Imitation
Incarnation denial is so serious that
John says it is directly from hell as the embodiment of the devil in the person
of antichrist
When people start thinking of Jesus as
the exception to the rule, they excuse themselves from miracles, believing for
healing, taking up their cross, turning the other cheek, going to death
willingly, from being inspired, all of which will throw your soul into hell for
refusing him we speaks from heaven (Heb_12:25) with a redemption of the new
covenant that far surpasses all other revelations of God throughout ALL human
history.
1Jn_4:1 CAB Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1Jn_4:1 ᾿Αγαπητοί,
μὴ παντὶ
πνεύματι
πιστεύετε,
ἀλλὰ
δοκιμάζετε
τὰ πνεύματα
εἰ ἐκ τοῦ
Θεοῦ ἐστιν·
ὅτι πολλοὶ
ψευδοπροφῆται
ἐξεληλύθασιν
εἰς τὸν
κόσμον.
1Jn_4:1 αγαπητοι μη παντι πνευματι πιστευετε αλλα δοκιμαζετε τα πνευματα ει εκ του θεου εστιν οτι πολλοι ψευδοπροφηται εξεληλυθασιν εις τον κοσμον
1Jn_4:2 By this the Spirit of God is known: Every spirit that confesses [together-likeness (ὁμολογεῖ)] that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
1Jn_4:2 ἐν
τούτῳ
γινώσκετε τὸ
πνεῦμα τοῦ
Θεοῦ· πᾶν
πνεῦμα ὃ

Χριστὸν ἐν

1Jn_4:2 εν τουτω Bγινωσκεται TSAγινωσκετε το πνευμα του θεου παν πνευμα ο ομολογει ιησουν χριστον εν σαρκι εληλυθοτα εκ του θεου εστιν
1Jn_4:3
and every spirit which does not confess [ὁμολογεῖ]
that Jesus |Christ
has come in the flesh|
is not of God. And ·this is the spirit [1Jn_4:1-2]
of the Antichrist [τοῦτό
ἐστι τὸ τοῦ
ἀντιχρίστου],
which you have heard that it is coming, and now is already [ἤδη] in the world.
1Jn_4:3 καὶ
πᾶν πνεῦμα ὃ
μὴ ὁμολογεῖ
τὸν ᾿Ιησοῦν
ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ
ἐν σαρκὶ

τοῦ Θεοῦ
οὐκ ἔστι·
καὶ τοῦτό
ἐστι τὸ τοῦ
ἀντιχρίστου,
ὃ ἀκηκόατε
ὅτι ἔρχεται, καὶ

2Jn_1:7
CAB Because many deceivers
have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in
the flesh. ·This is a [the] deceiver and the antichrist
[οὗτός
ἐστιν ὁ
πλάνος καὶ
ὁ
ἀντίχριστος].
2Jn_1:7 ὅτι

2Jn_1:7 οτι πολλοι πλανοι Aεξηλθον TSBεισηλθον εις τον κοσμον οι μη ομολογουντες ιησουν χριστον ερχομενον εν σαρκι ουτος εστιν ο πλανος και ο αντιχριστος
2Jn_1:8 Look to yourselves, lest we should lose those things for which we worked, but that we should receive a full reward.
2Jn_1:8
βλέπετε

2Jn_1:8 βλεπετε εαυτους ινα μη Aαπολεσητε TSBαπολεσωμεν α ειργασαμεθα αλλα μισθον πληρη Aαπολαβητε TSBαπολαβωμεν
2Jn_1:9 Everyone who transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ, this one has both the Father and the Son.
2Jn_1:9 πᾶς ὁ
παραβαίνων
καὶ μὴ
μένων ἐν τῇ
διδαχῇ τοῦ
Χριστοῦ Θεὸν
οὐκ ἔχει· ὁ

2Jn_1:9 πας ο Aπροαγων TSBπαραβαινων και μη μενων εν τη διδαχη του χριστου θεον ουκ εχει ο μενων εν τη διδαχη TSBτου TSBχριστου ουτος και τον πατερα και τον υιον εχει
2Jn_1:10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house, and do not greet him;
2Jn_1:10 εἴ τις
ἔρχεται πρὸς
ὑμᾶς καὶ
ταύτην τὴν
διδαχὴν οὐ
φέρει, μὴ
λαμβάνετε
αὐτὸν εἰς

2Jn_1:10 ει τις ερχεται προς υμας και ταυτην την διδαχην ου φερει μη λαμβανετε αυτον εις οικιαν και χαιρειν αυτω μη λεγετε
2Jn_1:11 for he who greets him shares in his evil works.
2Jn_1:11 ὁ γὰρ

Don't Oversimplify Spirit Tests!
No Oversimplification:
Don't water down the potency of what he's saying to your own complete hypocrisy
and uselessness
Multiple Spirit Tests:
Keep in mind that this is only the first spirit test 1 John 4
Confessing TOGETHER is
required, NOT just saying what the demons believe
(8) All Christ's miracles were performed
without prayer.
He performed them with His own power;
with the power of His Divinity. The only miracle which was preceded by the Lord
addressing the Father was the miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead, and we
have discussed this issue before here on st-takla.org in other pages. Probably
the reason for this was that He wanted to hide His Divinity from Satan, because
there were only a few days until the Cross.
https://chatgpt.com/c/69c964cc-7e50-8330-a0b5-4d3fc3278191
Heavenward Thanks: publicly thanks Father before raising Lazarus to show dependence and faith (Joh_11:41-42; Joh_11:43-44)
Upward Blessing: looks up to heaven and blesses before multiplying food (Mat_14:19; Mar_6:41; Luk_9:16; Joh_6:11)
Bread Thanksgiving: gives thanks before feeding 4,000 (Mat_15:36; Mar_8:6-7)
Heavenward Sigh: looks up, sighs deeply before healing deaf/mute man (Mar_7:34)
Deep Groaning: sighs deeply in spirit before confronting unbelief tied to signs (Mar_8:12)
Private Prayer Healing: takes blind man aside, uses prayerful action in stages (Mar_8:23-25)
Touch + Prayer Dependence: lays hands with implicit reliance on Gods power (Mar_5:23; Mar_16:18)
All-Night Prayer Context: prays through night before major ministry works including miracles (Luk_6:12-19)
Withdrawal Prayer Pattern: withdraws to pray regularly amid healing ministry (Luk_5:15-16)
Spirit-Anointed Power: miracles performed in dependence on Spirit after prayer/anointing (Luk_4:1; Luk_4:14; Luk_4:18)
Exorcism Prayer Principle: certain demons require prayer (and fasting) to be cast out (Mar_9:29; Mat_17:21*)
Lazarus Explicit Public Prayer
Joh_11:41 NKJV Then they took away the
stone And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, Father, I thank
You that You have heard Me.
Joh_11:42 NKJV And I know that You always
hear Me, but because of the people I said this, that they may believe
Joh_11:43 NKJV Now when He had said these
things, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth!
Feeding the Multitudes Looking Up &
Giving Thanks
Mat_14:19 NKJV He looked up to
heaven, blessed and broke
Mar_6:41 NKJV looking up to heaven,
He blessed and broke the loaves
Luk_9:16 NKJV Then He took the five
loaves and looking up to heaven, He blessed
Joh_6:11 NKJV And Jesus took the
loaves, and when He had given thanks
Mat_15:36 NKJV And He took the seven
loaves and the fish and gave thanks
Mar_8:6 NKJV He gave thanks,
broke them and gave them
Healing with Sigh / Heavenward Focus
Mar_7:34 NKJV Then, looking up to
heaven, He sighed, and said to him, Ephphatha
Mar_8:12 NKJV But He sighed deeply in His
spirit
Prayer Life Surrounding Miracles
Luk_5:15 NKJV great multitudes came
together to hear, and to be healed
Luk_5:16 NKJV So He Himself often
withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.
Luk_6:12 NKJV He went out to the
mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer
Luk_6:19 NKJV And the whole multitude
sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him
Spirit-Dependent Ministry
Luk_4:1 NKJV Then Jesus, being filled
with the Holy Spirit
Luk_4:14 NKJV Then Jesus returned in
the power of the Spirit
Luk_4:18 NKJV The Spirit of the Lord
is upon Me
Deliverance Requires Prayer
Mat_17:21 NKJV However, this kind does
not go out except by prayer and fasting.
Mar_9:29 NKJV This kind can come out
by nothing but prayer and fasting.
Greek Apostates Need to Look Up Like
Jesus Did!
Dan_4:30 WEB The king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?
Dan_4:30 the king spoke, saying, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for a royal residence, by the might of my power, for the honor of my glory?

Dan_4:34 WEB At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.
Dan_4:34 And at the end of the time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised Him that lives forever, and gave Him glory; for His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom endures to all generations.

Is Incarnation a unity of God and man?
Most Importantly: Incarnation is a
leaving of Divinity that is reunited at glorification later Joh_17:4;
2Co_8:9
Jesus is NOT the exception to the rule,
He IS the RULE!
Stop hypocritically excusing people from
being like Jesus
The incarnation in Php_2 specifically
tells you to imitate Jesus mindset
Not His special unique
calling, but His standards and goals of faith and supernatural life
Heb_2:14 CAB Therefore since the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same things, in order that through death He might destroy the one having the power of death, that is, the devil,
Heb_2:14 ἐπεὶ

Heb_2:16 For indeed He does not take hold of angels, but He does take hold of the seed of Abraham.

Heb_2:17 Therefore He was obligated to become like His brothers in all respects, in order that He might become a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, in order that He might make propitiation for the sins of the people.
Heb_2:17 ὅθεν

Heb_2:18 For in that which He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to help those who are tempted.
Heb_2:18 ἐν ᾧ

Story (simplified)
Older Church guy: you believe in the resurrection of jc?
Me: Yes, and you only believe it if you're living in resurrected righteousness!
Church person: oh, well, I don't live all the way perfect like I should, and it's impossible to not have sin in your life
[He was flabbergasted that I didn't read the news for my own City, and then admitted he didn't read the Bible that much]
Church: I like resurrection power - we're like Paul
I want to know the power of his resurrection
But where is the sharing of His sufferings?
Philippians_2:6 - leading Himself not to snatch
Stop making Jesus the exception to the rule when He IS the Rule -- for our imitation and salvation!
...
4/6/26
Paul starts with application first before
singing the praises and rehearsing the glorious account of Jesus's humility
This absolutely forbids any and all
Theory boasting - since application is put first, therefore the theory is
meaningless without the obedience, as Paul prioritizes YOUR incarnation of
Jesus's incarnation
You need the incarnation alive in you!
You mean to press in two the crucifixion so that you can attain to / grab a
hold of the power of the resurrection of the dead!
You need the inspired
humble-minded-pressed-down-minded-mindset of right-thinking incarnation in your
life!
There's nothing powerful and amazing
about lacking love in your life!
There's nothing divinely inspired about
God's incarnation and crucifixion when you can love people amazingly like he
did!
Do you feel you're crying need for Jesus
in your life?
You're going to die, so you need to
choose to die by faith, so that you can have a hope of resurrection and not
perish in your sins under the gloomy judgment of a wasted and dirty life!
If you're not amazingly pressed down in
your mind you're not amazed by who He is
if you're not ferociously dying to all
sinning you're not amazed at what He did
If you're not living to obey everything
God says, like He perfectly obeyed, you're not persuaded by the power of His
resurrection (standing up again)
You don't mean the fake incarnation
You don't need the nasty heretical
blasphemous Antichrist Greek orthodox incarnation -- which even countless
Protestants have fallen in lust with
Flattering the supposed divinity of their
antichrist only earns you to unbearably deeper pits of hell where all idolaters
will be doomed who have not hopes in His saving repentance unto salvation and
life.
you need the teaching of the real Jesus's
incarnation to resurrect and come alive in your life
so much of this starts by hungering for
the Word of God in your life and getting extremely zealous for extreme humility
-- that IS His incarnation! -- there is no other humility that goes so far and
burns with zeal so extreme
Php_1:?
one soul
Php_2:2
Same MIND: unified thinking, shared love; One MIND: one accord, not divided
Php_2:3
Lowly MIND: humility, others above self
Php_2:4
Other-mind: regard others interests alongside your own
Php_2:5
Anointed Ones-mind: adopt His self-emptying mindset
Why should you regard others better than yourself? (Php_2:3)
Unconditional Humility & Inspiration Admiration
Unconditional humility is always required
But why would you look at others better than yourself?
If they're going to hell forever why not regard them according to their ultimate identity?
And if they're not going to help forever then your humility is not just about yourself, as if humility could be egocentric, but rather, exalting others should be based on a real value and not based on Protestant legal fiction.

Love)

Pressed Down
Jesus pressed Himself
down in Matthew 11 and Philippians 2
He lost His character
and identity and gave it up
He emptied His identity
and lost Himself so that it could be redefined by the Father
Jesus pressed Himself
down, lost His identity, emptied Himself, and become a nobody in Matthew 11 and
Philippians 2
Intentionally made
Himself a nobody in this life so that he could be saved from death by his father
and redefined into all glory that comes from the only God
So that Jesus never had
to exalt himself to be a high priest or to be glorious in God's house, but
completely dependent on the father to save, exalt and glorify Him
(A) This Mind Also In -- ESV Omits
ESV is basically breaking the clear and
explicit imitation you're supposed to obey
Php_2:5
ESV21 Have this mind among
yourselves, which is [καὶ
ἐν (omited)] yours in Christ Jesus,
Php_2:5
ESV+25 R15Have this mind among yourselves,
which is [καὶ ἐν (omited)]
yours in Christ Jesus,N1
N1: [alternative] Or which was also in Christ Jesus
The ESV footnotes mention the more
realistic original traditional translation (as seen in N1
above).
ESVs main text omits the words and
in/also in [καὶ
ἐν ],
as seen in virtually all other versions:
Php_2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
Php_2:5 τοῦτο
γὰρ
φρονείσθω ἐν
ὑμῖν ὃ καὶ

᾿Ιησοῦ,
Php_2:5
τουτο Aφρονειτε
TSBγαρ
TSBφρονεισθω
εν υμιν ο και εν
χριστω ιησου
(A) EQUALITY Snatching -- KJV
Misrepresents
Risks denying the incarnation In the
tradition of liturgical apostasy!
KJV along with other supposedly
conservative versions can often reverse the sense of quality snatching:
Php_2:6 KJV Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Php_2:6 CAB who, existing in the form of God, did
not consider it robbery to be equal with God,
Php_2:6 ὃς ἐν
μορφῇ Θεοῦ
ὑπάρχων οὐχ
ἁρπαγμὸν
ἡγήσατο τὸ
εἶναι ἴσα
Θεῷ,
WS expresses this traditional KJV idea as:
Jesus did not
consider the action of being equal to God, i.e., maintaining a state of being
equal to God, as an act of robbery (WS on G2470)
And again:
His truly being
in the form of God could not render His claim of equality with God as robbery.
The Lord did not esteem being equal with God as identical with the coming forth
or action of a robber (hrpax [G727]). The trans. meaning of harpagms, robbery,
is necessary here (WS on G2470)
More accurately:
Php_2:6 LSV who, being in the form of God, thought [it] not something to be seized to be equal to God,
Most exactly and literally:
Php_2:6
RTA did not lead-himself [into reguarding/thinking]
for/to a snatch-thing the being same/equal to God
Incarnation = reversal
Man > god?
God > Man
Eve took the fruit
Jesus did NOT snatch equality with God (Php_2:6)
No Snatching
No Grabbing
Php_2: equality
Reverses Gen_3:
Obedience reversal
Rom_5:
Heb_5:5 Anointed One did not exalt
himself to be high priest
Heb_5:4 CAB And no man takes this [pristly (Heb_5:1-3)] honor for himself, but he that is called by God, just as Aaron also was.
Heb_5:4 καὶ
οὐχ ἑαυτῷ
τις λαμβάνει
τὴν τιμήν,
ἀλλὰ
καλούμενος
ὑπὸ τοῦ
Θεοῦ, καθάπερ
καὶ ᾿Ααρών.
Heb_5:4 και ουχ εαυτω τις λαμβανει την τιμην αλλα TSο καλουμενος υπο του θεου Aκαθωσπερ TSBκαθαπερ και TSο ααρων
Heb_5:5 So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You."
Heb_5:5 οὕτω
καὶ ὁ
Χριστὸς οὐχ
ἑαυτὸν ἐδόξασε
γενηθῆναι
ἀρχιερέα,
ἀλλ᾿ ὁ
λαλήσας πρὸς
αὐτόν·
υἱός μου εἶ
σύ, ἐγὼ
σήμερον
γεγέννηκά σε·
So
Php_2:5
Let this mind be in you, which was also in anointed one Jesus
who pressed himself down
(Quoted above)
Atonement is about becoming human, not
about being God!
God did not die as God, because God by
nature can't die, God is IMORTAL!
nor did Jesus die as an angel for your
sins, because that would have a tone for angels, and it would not be within the
human creation to make atonement for humanity.
God had to become a human, and as a human
he please God on behalf of all the other humans.
He had to live a perfect life as a human,
whereas he had already lived "eternity past" fully and perfectly
pleasing the Father as God.
If Jesus died as God to atone for people
he could have given up his life as a child, however he instead rather was constrained
to live his whole life as a perfect human in order to fulfill and satisfy all
of the righteous requirements of the law and a fully pleased God with infinite
favor and teach the way of righteousness to his human Brothers to bring them to
God through his truth and give out a perfect example and world revolutionizing
truth so people could follow him into the New Covenant as the door to the
Father.
Focusing on Jesus's Divinity as the
mechanism of atonement misses the entire point of the incarnation, which is to
make atonement for human sin with a human life, which was lived perfectly and
then took on sin.

Ezekiel bore the sin of Gods people as a
HUMAN before Jesus did, as a HUMAN -- and thats remarkable!
God cannot take on human sin as God,
because God Himself will not be around such sin

Psa_34:15 LB The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayer;

ὦτα αὐτοῦ εἰς δέησιν

Psa_34:16 WEB Yahweh's face is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
Psa_34:16 but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord listened to them,
Psa_34:16 (33:17)
πρόσωπον δὲ

When God is around sin, He destroys it.
Jesus was a HUMAN to bear it, as foreshadowed
by Ezekiel (Eze_4:3-8).

Stop removing pieces of the Good Message
Omissions are why relationships dont
work
Incarnation Denial
Stop denying Incarnation
1Jn_4:2-3 Denying Jesus came in the
flesh
Veiling ≠ Emptying
Transfiguration is PREDICTIVE of Jesus
identity & return to heaven (as seen with Peter), not of initial human
incarnation
Mat_17:2 NKJV and He was transfigured
before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as
the light.
Mat_17:5 NKJV This is My beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!
Elijah Must Certainly Come
That is a FUTURE predictive statement!
This is not His current humanity but
predictive of His Truest future identity!
2Pe_1:16 CAB For we did not follow craftily devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but rather became eyewitnesses of His majesty.
2Pe_1:16 οὐ γὰρ

2Pe_1:17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when a voice was brought to Him such as this by the Magnificent Glory: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

(A) Angels Strengthens Jesus -- After
Wilderness
The Devil Appealed to Angelic Help
Mat_4:6 and said to Him,
"If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: 'He
shall give His angels orders concerning you,' and, 'In their hands they will
lift you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.' "
Mat_4:6 καὶ
λέγει
αὐτῷ· εἰ
Υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ Θεοῦ,
βάλε σεαυτὸν
κάτω·
γέγραπται
γὰρ ὅτι τοῖς
ἀγγέλοις
αὐτοῦ
ἐντελεῖται
περὶ σοῦ,
καὶ ἐπὶ
χειρῶν
ἀροῦσί σε,
μήποτε προσκόψῃς
πρὸς λίθον
τὸν πόδα σου.
Luk_4:10 For it is written: 'He shall give His angels charge over You, to guard You,'
Luk_4:10
γέγραπται
γὰρ ὅτι τοῖς
ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ
ἐντελεῖται
περὶ σοῦ
τοῦ
διαφυλάξαι σε,
But then Clean Angels Came to Help
Without Sin
Mat_4:11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.
Mat_4:11 Τότε
ἀφίησιν
αὐτὸν ὁ
διάβολος, καὶ
ἰδοὺ
ἄγγελοι
προσῆλθον
καὶ
διηκόνουν αὐτῷ.
(B) Angel Strengthens Jesus -- in the
Garden
Luk_22:42 saying, "Father, if You will, remove this cup from Me--nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done."
Luk_22:42 λέγων·
πάτερ, εἰ
βούλει
παρενεγκεῖν
τοῦτο τὸ
ποτήριον
ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ·
πλὴν μὴ τὸ
θέλημά μου,
ἀλλὰ τὸ
σὸν γινέσθω.
Luk_22:42 λεγων πατερ ει βουλει SAπαρενεγκε Aτουτο TBπαρενεγκειν το ποτηριον TSBτουτο απ εμου πλην μη το θελημα μου αλλα το σον Aγινεσθω TSBγενεσθω
Luk_22:43 Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening [ἐνισχύων] Him.
Luk_22:43 ὤφθη δὲ
αὐτῷ
ἄγγελος ἀπ᾿
οὐρανοῦ
ἐνισχύων
αὐτόν.
Luk_22:43 Aωφθη TSBωφθη δε αυτω αγγελος απ ουρανου ενισχυων αυτον
Luk_22:44 And being in agony, He prayed more fervently. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down onto the ground.
Luk_22:44 καὶ
γενόμενος ἐν
ἀγωνίᾳ
ἐκτενέστερον
προσηύχετο.
ἐγένετο δὲ
ὁ ἱδρὼς

(C) Angels Could Rescue Jesus -- in the
Garden
Mat_26:52
But Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place, for all those
who take the sword shall perish by the sword.
Mat_26:52 τότε
λέγει αὐτῷ
ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς·
ἀπόστρεψόν
σου τὴν
μάχαιράν εἰς
τὸν τόπον
αὐτῆς·
πάντες γὰρ
οἱ λαβόντες
μάχαιραν ἐν
μαχαίρῃ
ἀποθανοῦνται.
Mat_26:52 τοτε λεγει αυτω ο ιησους αποστρεψον TSBσου την μαχαιραν Aσου εις τον τοπον αυτης παντες γαρ οι λαβοντες μαχαιραν εν Aμαχαιρη TSBμαχαιρα Bαποθανουνται TSAαπολουνται
Mat_26:53 Or do you think that I cannot now call upon My Father, and He will furnish Me with more than twelve legions of angels?
Mat_26:53 ἢ
δοκεῖς ὅτι
οὐ δύναμαι
ἄρτι παρακαλέσαι
τὸν πατέρα
μου, καὶ

μοι πλείους ἣ

God, the almighty, does not need to be
strengthened or protected by Angels from mere humans or even the devil
himself.
2Co_8:9 CAB For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet on account of you He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.
2Co_8:9 γινώσκετε
γὰρ τὴν
χάριν τοῦ
Κυρίου ἡμῶν
᾿Ιησοῦ
Χριστοῦ, ὅτι
δι᾿ ὑμᾶς

ἵνα ὑμεῖς
τῇ ἐκείνου
πτωχείᾳ πλουτήσητε.
Of ability/privileges,
not worth
Does not know the day
or the hour
Form
Glory
Use of omniscience
Authority
Special Favor -- He
grew in favor with God & man
Omnipotence -- could
have call legions of angels to rescue him, vs. just defeating them Himself
Omnipotence is one of the beigest
sacrifices Jesus made, and Church will so often not acknowledge, but this
emptying is the very act of incarnation necessary for their salvation.
Emptying - For Real!
3/29/26; 4/4/26-4/5/26
Philippians_2:3 vs. Philippians_2:7
Empty Glory (pride) vs emptying Himself (of Glory)
Romans_8:20 (useless) vs. Philippians_2:7 (enough)
Jesus gave up Divinity in all kinds of
incomprehensible ways
1Ti_6:16 God is dwelling in immortality
and unapproachable light
1Ti_6:16 NKJV who alone has immortality,
dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see
Psa_104:2 NKJV Who cover Yourself with
light as with a garment
Joh_1:18 NKJV No one has seen God at any
time
But Jesus gave up immortality to die
(specifically, and intentionally)
Subtraction = Required in Emptying
Something substantial has to be
subtracted or the phrase is meaningless
The privileges, positions, and postures
have to be what he emptied himself of
Divine shape/form are specifically
emptied
Emptying himself of divine shape/form
does not imply emptying of objective moral worth - since God does not ascribe
value based on what someone holds, but based on the virtuous actions of their
mind and hands
Emptying is not reducible to a metaphor
"Figurative emptying" disobeys
the instruction that he emptied himself, and it disobeys our requirement to
imitate the same mindset and deeds
Veiling glory is not emptying divinity
Pretending that Jesus disguised is Glory
instead of emptying it is just another form of Bible disobedience
The transfiguration really does reveal
who he is - but it is with a future reference that is predictive as a vision of
things to come, in both the immediate context as well as the context of the
rest of the whole Bible
His functionality as God is emptied
because He not only took on the shape but the character mindset and deeds of a
servant / slave
We are supposed to follow Jesus and his
apostles in being slaves
Eastern Greek pseudo Orthodox churches
strongly object to faithfully obeying Philippians 2 with cleanness - their
entire perverted rebellion is built around denying Jesus's incarnation of
emptied divinity.
(This often can stem from a long standing
historical opposition to Arians or proto Jehovah's witnesses)
What about Jesus is Divinity & the
Immutability of God?
Immutability
Col_2:9 NKJV For in Him dwells all the fullness of the
Godhead bodily.
Heb_13:8 NKJV Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today,
and forever.
Mal_3:6 NKJV For I am the Lord, I do not change.
"The immutability of God" feels
threatened by Philippians 2 deniers; however, we don't get to choose what to
believe after we've submitted to the saving lordship of the Scriptures.
It is never our position as obeys to
assert a framework we can understand before submitting to the mysteries we
cannot understand.
Our first priority is to say yes to all
Bible verses, and then only after we have submitted to Jesus's written lordship
can we pray and beg for understanding into all of His mysteries
Like the Son can do nothing by himself
(John_5:19) and the Father
has given all judgment to the Son (John_5:22)
A distinction has to be made:
Qualitative attributes are not the same
thing as privileged functionalities
God condescends all throughout the Bible,
and even the Bible itself is a condescension into human language, and therefore
the immutability of God stands firm from the very beginning of the writing of
Scripture as coexisting with his condescension into the realm of humanity
Whether it's a human or whether it's an
angel, God has been coming down to our level to speak on our terms for as long
as we've had human history.
Therefore, when the word of God empties
himself to become the man Jesus, it is the same principle that God has always
operated in, with full compliance to his immutability; however Jesuss humility
is a more striking and deeply remarkable descent into the lowest humility
beyond comprehension.
So it's the same principle that has never
threatened God's immutability, but it's a profoundly deeper expression than
humans have ever been given as a revelation of God's salvation.
Mar_13:32 NKJV But of that day and hour no one knows, not
even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Joh_17:5 NKJV And now, O Father, glorify Me together with
Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
The very idea of God condescending is His
choice to willingly limit an apportioned part of Himself, without blasting us
with the Full force of his infinite holy identity.
Divine condescension is never revealed
Infinity.
It is by nature a limited revelation that
flows from the source of all infinity, and by very nature does not hit us with
the full force of that infinite source lest we be obliterated before we are
saved by His redeeming condescension
2Co_8:9 NKJV For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor
..
Don't flatten the strong language of
Philippians 2
Jesus emptying is there to be amazed
at, to worship God for, to be saved by, to be redeemed through, and to imitate
in your very obedient thankful reverent awestruck faithful actions, even unto
making yourself also under other people
There's no room at all for denial demotion
and dismissal and flattening of the strong language of Philippians 2
Heb_2:17 NKJV Therefore, in all things He had to be made
like His brethren
Isa_53:3 NKJV He is despised and rejected by men
Jesus:
grows (Luk_2:52)
learns obedience (Heb_5:8)
is weary (Joh_4:6)
Joh_5:30 NKJV I can of Myself do nothing I do not seek My
own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
Php_2:5-8; Joh_17:5; Mat_17:2; 2Pe_1:16-18; Rev_1:13-16; 2Co_8:9; Luk_9:58; Isa_53:2-3; Heb_12:2; Mar_13:32; Luk_2:52; Heb_5:8; Joh_11:34; 2Co_13:4; Heb_5:7; Mat_26:53; Joh_5:19; Joh_5:30; Joh_12:49-50; Joh_14:10; Luk_22:42; Joh_6:38; Mat_27:46; 2Co_5:21; Gal_3:13; 1Pe_2:24; Heb_2:14; Heb_2:9; Act_2:24; Mat_26:38; Heb_2:10; Mat_4:2; Joh_4:6; Joh_19:28; Php_2:9-11
Isa_7: > 50, 54 = Messiah
Does not know
Is surprised by events
Is NOT operating as God -- miracles, etc.
Learned good vs evil
Mar_13:32
Psa_119:97-104
Learned obedience
Mat_12:28
Anointed Jesus went around doing good
Greater work than these will you do
>> NOT God-proof
No as great as His father
God GAVE all authority to the son
CANNOT do anything of myself
That is NOT omnipotence!
Had to pray!
Greek liar says: he did NOT pray when doing healings
What He Gave Up
Divine Glory: preexistent glory veiled, later requested back; previewed at transfiguration, restored in Revelation (Php_2:6-7; Joh_17:5; Mat_17:2; 2Pe_1:16-18; Rev_1:13-16)
Heavenly Riches: left divine riches/treasures/comfort for poverty and suffering (2Co_8:9; Joh_6:38; Luk_9:58)
Visible Beauty: no outward form/majesty/desirability (Isa_53:2)
Honor Status: equality with God → servant, humiliation, shameful death (Php_2:6-8; Heb_12:2)
Omniscience (Functional): did not operate in full knowledge; learned, asked, did not know hour (Mar_13:32; Luk_2:52; Heb_5:8; Joh_11:34)
Omnipotence (Functional): accepted weakness, dependence, vulnerability, need for deliverance (2Co_13:4; Heb_5:7; Mat_26:53)
Independence: nothing from Himself, total reliance on Father (Joh_5:19; Joh_5:30)
Own Words: spoke only what given by Father (Joh_12:49-50; Joh_14:10)
Own Will: human will submitted to Father (Luk_22:42; Joh_6:38)
Relational Nearness: veiled intimacy; grew in favor; experienced forsakenness (Luk_2:52; Mat_27:46)
Righteous Standing (Imputed): bore sin, made sin, became curse (2Co_5:21; Gal_3:13; 1Pe_2:24)
Heavenly Form: form of God → likeness of men, true humanity (Php_2:6-7; Heb_2:14)
Impassibility: entered suffering, sorrow, anguish (Isa_53:3; Mat_26:38; Heb_2:10)
Immortality (Experience): tasted death, needed to be saved from it (Heb_2:9; Act_2:24; Heb_5:7)
Self-Sufficiency: lived by Spirit, prayer, obedience like a man (Mat_4:1; Luk_4:18; Heb_5:8)
Provision: hunger, thirst, fatigue vs divine fullness (Mat_4:2; Joh_4:6; Joh_19:28)
Security: exposed to danger, reliant on Gods rescue (Mat_4:6-7; Mat_26:53)
Exalted Throne: left heavenly enthronement → later re-exalted (Php_2:9-11; Joh_17:5)
Php_2:6-7 NKJV who, being in the form of God but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant
2Co_8:9 NKJV though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor
Luk_9:58 NKJV The Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.
Isa_53:2 NKJV He has no form or comeliness no beauty that we should desire Him.
Isa_53:3 NKJV He is despised and rejected by men
Mar_13:32 NKJV But of that day and hour no one knows nor the Son
Luk_2:52 NKJV And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature
Heb_5:8 NKJV though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience
Joh_11:34 NKJV And He said, Where have you laid him?
2Co_13:4 NKJV For though He was crucified in weakness
Heb_5:7 NKJV who offered up prayers to Him who was able to save Him from death
Mat_26:53 NKJV Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?
Joh_5:19 NKJV The Son can do nothing of Himself
Joh_5:30 NKJV I can of Myself do nothing
Joh_12:49 NKJV For I have not spoken on My own authority
Joh_14:10 NKJV the words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority
Luk_22:42 NKJV not My will, but Yours, be done.
Joh_6:38 NKJV For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will
Mat_27:46 NKJV My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?
Luk_2:52 NKJV Jesus increased in favor with God
2Co_5:21 NKJV For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us
Gal_3:13 NKJV Christ has redeemed us having become a curse for us
1Pe_2:24 NKJV who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree
Heb_2:14 NKJV Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same
Php_2:7 NKJV coming in the likeness of men.
Mat_26:38 NKJV My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death
Heb_2:10 NKJV to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Heb_2:9 NKJV that He might taste death for everyone.
Act_2:24 NKJV whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death
Heb_5:7 NKJV to Him who was able to save Him from death
Mat_4:2 NKJV And when He had fasted forty days He was hungry.
Joh_4:6 NKJV Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey
Joh_19:28 NKJV Jesus said, I thirst!
Php_2:9 NKJV Therefore God also has highly exalted Him
Joh_17:5 NKJV And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
Mat_17:2 NKJV and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.
2Pe_1:17 NKJV For He received from God the Father honor and glory
Rev_1:14 NKJV His head and hair were white like wool His eyes like a flame of fire.
How can Paul just simply say, tell these two women to agree???
On one hand, you want it to be that simple because ideally we would all just be spiritual and it really would be that easy, but for some reason it just doesn't seem to work out like that in our experiences even though that's the way the Bible talks
Php_4:2 I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.
Php_4:2

Questions
Why No explanation?
Is this saying Just be spiritual?
Why no practical advice on just how to agree?
Answer
Actually, Paul ALREADY told them the answer on how to agree, which is why he can now simply say, just agree
Php_3:15 Therefore, as many as are mature, let us think this way; and if in anything you think otherwise, even this God will reveal to you.
Php_3:15 ῞Οσοι
οὖν τέλειοι,
τοῦτο
φρονῶμεν· καὶ
εἴ τι ἑτέρως
φρονεῖτε, καὶ
τοῦτο ὁ
Θεὸς ὑμῖν
ἀποκαλύψει.
Php_3:15 οσοι ουν τελειοι τουτο φρονωμεν και ει τι ετερως φρονειτε και τουτο ο θεος υμιν αποκαλυψει
Php_3:16 Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.
Php_3:16 πλὴν
εἰς ὃ
ἐφθάσαμεν,
τῷ αὐτῷ
στοιχεῖν
κανόνι, τὸ
αὐτὸ
φρονεῖν.
Php_3:16 πλην εις ο εφθασαμεν τω αυτω στοιχειν TSBκανονι TSBτο TSBαυτο TSBφρονειν
Php_3:17 Be fellow imitators of me, brothers, and look out for those walking this way, just as you have us for a pattern.
Php_3:17
Συμμιμηταί
μου γίνεσθε,
ἀδελφοί, καὶ
σκοπεῖτε
τοὺς οὕτω
περιπατοῦντας,
καθὼς ἔχετε

This is all accomplished by The right mindset
Php_1:6 having been persuaded of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus;
Php_1:6

Php_1:7 just as it is right for me to think this concerning you all, because I have you in my heart, both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace.
Php_1:7 καθώς

Php_1:7 καθως εστιν δικαιον εμοι τουτο φρονειν υπερ παντων υμων δια το εχειν με εν τη καρδια υμας εν τε τοις δεσμοις μου και BAεν τη απολογια και βεβαιωσει του ευαγγελιου συγκοινωνους μου της χαριτος παντας υμας οντας
Php_1:8 For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.
Php_1:8 μάρτυς
γάρ μού
ἐστιν ὁ
θεός, ὡς ἐπιποθῶ
πάντας ὑμᾶς
ἐν
σπλάγχνοις ᾿Ιησοῦ
Χριστοῦ.
Php_1:8 μαρτυς γαρ μου TSBεστιν ο θεος ως επιποθω παντας υμας εν σπλαγχνοις TSBιησου χριστου Aιησου
Php_1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all perception,
Php_1:9 καὶ
τοῦτο
προσεύχομαι,
ἵνα ἡ ἀγάπη
ὑμῶν ἔτι
μᾶλλον καὶ
μᾶλλον περισσεύῃ
ἐν
ἐπιγνώσει
καὶ πάσῃ
αἰσθήσει,
Php_1:9 και τουτο προσευχομαι ινα η αγαπη υμων ετι μαλλον και μαλλον περισσευη εν επιγνωσει και παση αισθησει
Php_1:10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ,
Php_1:10 εἰς τὸ
δοκιμάζειν
ὑμᾶς τὰ
διαφέροντα,
ἵνα ἦτε
εἰλικρινεῖς
καὶ
ἀπρόσκοποι εἰς
ἡμέραν
Χριστοῦ,
Php_1:10 εις το δοκιμαζειν υμας τα διαφεροντα ινα ητε ειλικρινεις και απροσκοποι εις ημεραν χριστου
Php_1:11 having been filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Php_1:11
πεπληρωμένοι
καρπὸν
δικαιοσύνης
τὸν διὰ
᾿Ιησοῦ
Χριστοῦ εἰς
δόξαν καὶ
ἔπαινον Θεοῦ.
Php_1:11 πεπληρωμενοι Aκαρπον TSBκαρπων δικαιοσυνης Aτον TSBτων δια ιησου χριστου εις δοξαν και επαινον θεου
Php_1:21 For to me, to live
is Christ, and to die
is gain.
Php_1:21 ᾿Εμοὶ
γὰρ τὸ ζῆν
Χριστὸς καὶ
τὸ
ἀποθανεῖν
κέρδος.
[believe into Paul]
Php_1:28 and not being terrified in anything by your enemies, which is to them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and this from God.
Php_1:28 καὶ μὴ
πτυρόμενοι
ἐν μηδενὶ
ὑπὸ τῶν
ἀντικειμένων,
ἥτις αὐτοῖς
μέν ἐστιν
ἔνδειξις
ἀπωλείας,
ὑμῖν δὲ
σωτηρίας,
καὶ τοῦτο
ἀπὸ Θεοῦ·
Php_1:28 και μη πτυρομενοι εν μηδενι υπο των αντικειμενων ητις TSBαυτοις TSBμεν εστιν Aαυτοις ενδειξις απωλειας Aυμων TSBυμιν δε σωτηριας και τουτο απο θεου
Php_2:1 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and acts of compassion,
Php_2:1 Εἴ τις
οὖν
παράκλησις
ἐν Χριστῷ,
εἴ τι
παραμύθιον
ἀγάπης, εἴ
τις κοινωνία
Πνεύματος, εἴ
τις σπλάγχνα
καὶ
οἰκτιρμοί,
Php_2:1 ει τις ουν παρακλησις εν χριστω ει τι παραμυθιον αγαπης ει τις κοινωνια πνευματος ει BAτις TSτινα σπλαγχνα και οικτιρμοι
Php_2:2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being united in spirit, intending the same purpose,
Php_2:2
πληρώσατέ
μου τὴν
χαρὰν, ἵνα τὸ
αὐτὸ
φρονῆτε, τὴν
αὐτὴν
ἀγάπην
ἔχοντες, σύμψυχοι
τὸ ἐν
φρονοῦντες,
Php_2:2 πληρωσατε μου την χαραν ινα το αυτο φρονητε την αυτην αγαπην εχοντες συμψυχοι το εν φρονουντες
Php_2:3 doing nothing according to selfish ambition or conceit, but with humility, regarding one another as being better than yourselves.
Php_2:3 μηδὲν κατ᾿
ἐρίθειαν ἢ
κενοδοξίαν,
ἀλλὰ τῇ
ταπεινοφροσύνῃ
ἀλλήλους
ἡγούμενοι
ὑπερέχοντας
ἑαυτῶν,
Php_2:3 μηδεν Aκατ TSBκατα εριθειαν Aμηδε Aκατα TSBη κενοδοξιαν αλλα τη ταπεινοφροσυνη αλληλους ηγουμενοι υπερεχοντας εαυτων
Php_2:4 Let each of you look out not only for his own concerns, but also for the concerns of others.
Php_2:4 μὴ τὰ
ἑαυτῶν
ἕκαστος
σκοπεῖτε ἀλλὰ
καὶ τὰ
ἑτέρων
ἕκαστος.
Php_2:4 μη τα εαυτων εκαστος Aσκοπουντες TSBσκοπειτε αλλα Aκαι TSBκαι τα ετερων Aεκαστοι TSBεκαστος
Php_2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
Php_2:5 τοῦτο
γὰρ
φρονείσθω ἐν
ὑμῖν ὃ καὶ
ἐν Χριστῷ
᾿Ιησοῦ,
Php_2:5 τουτο Aφρονειτε TSBγαρ TSBφρονεισθω εν υμιν ο και εν χριστω ιησου
Php_2:12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
Php_2:12 ῞Ωστε,
ἀγαπητοί
μου, καθὼς
πάντοτε ὑπηκούσατε,
μὴ ὡς ἐν
τῇ
παρουσίᾳ μου
μόνον, ἀλλὰ
νῦν πολλῷ
μᾶλλον ἐν
τῇ
ἀπουσίᾳ
μου, μετὰ
φόβου καὶ
τρόμου τὴν
ἑαυτῶν
σωτηρίαν
κατεργάζεσθε·
Php_2:12 ωστε αγαπητοι μου καθως παντοτε υπηκουσατε μη ως εν τη παρουσια μου μονον αλλα νυν πολλω μαλλον εν τη απουσια μου μετα φοβου και τρομου την εαυτων σωτηριαν κατεργαζεσθε
Php_2:13 for it is God who is working in you, both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
Php_2:13 ὁ Θεὸς
γάρ ἐστιν ὁ
ἐνεργῶν ἐν
ὑμῖν καὶ
τὸ θέλειν
καὶ τὸ
ἐνεργεῖν
ὑπὲρ τῆς
εὐδοκίας.
Php_2:13 TSBο θεος γαρ εστιν ο ενεργων εν υμιν και το θελειν και το ενεργειν υπερ της ευδοκιας
Php_2:14 Do all things without grumbling and disputing,
Php_2:14 πάντα
ποιεῖτε
χωρὶς
γογγυσμῶν
καὶ διαλογισμῶν,
Php_2:14 παντα ποιειτε χωρις γογγυσμων και διαλογισμων
Php_2:15 in order that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as light bearers in the world,
Php_2:15 ἵνα γένησθε
ἄμεμπτοι καὶ
ἀκέραιοι,
τέκνα Θεοῦ
ἀμώμητα ἐν
μέσῳ γενεᾶς
σκολιᾶς καὶ
διεστραμμένης,
ἐν οἷς
φαίνεσθε ὡς
φωστῆρες ἐν
κόσμῳ,
Php_2:15 ινα γενησθε αμεμπτοι και ακεραιοι τεκνα θεου Aαμωμα Aμεσον TSBαμωμητα TSBεν TSBμεσω γενεας σκολιας και διεστραμμενης εν οις φαινεσθε ως φωστηρες εν κοσμω
Php_2:16 holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.
Php_2:16 λόγον
ζωῆς
ἐπέχοντες,
εἰς καύχημα ἐμοὶ
εἰς ἡμέραν
Χριστοῦ, ὅτι
οὐκ εἰς
κενὸν
ἔδραμον οὐδὲ
εἰς κενὸν
ἐκοπίασα.
Php_2:21 For all seek their own interests, not the things of Christ Jesus.
Php_2:21 οἱ
πάντες γὰρ
τὰ ἑαυτῶν
ζητοῦσιν, οὐ
τὰ Χριστοῦ
᾿Ιησοῦ·
Php_2:21 οι παντες γαρ τα εαυτων ζητουσιν ου τα TSτου TSBχριστου ιησου Aχριστου
[But Timothy is Different]
Php_2:25 Yet I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my needs;
Php_2:25
᾿Αναγκαῖον
δὲ ἡγησάμην
᾿Επαφρόδιτον
τὸν ἀδελφὸν
καὶ συνεργὸν
καὶ συστρατιώτην
μου, ὑμῶν δὲ
ἀπόστολον
καὶ λειτουργὸν
τῆς χρείας
μου, πέμψαι
πρὸς ὑμᾶς,
Php_2:25 αναγκαιον δε ηγησαμην επαφροδιτον τον αδελφον και συνεργον και συστρατιωτην μου υμων δε αποστολον και λειτουργον της χρειας μου πεμψαι προς υμας
Php_2:26 since he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.
Php_2:26
ἐπειδὴ
ἐπιποθῶν ἦν
πάντας
ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἀδημονῶν
διότι
ἠκούσατε
ὅτι
ἠσθένησε.
Php_3:3 For we are the true circumcision, worshipping by the Spirit of God, rejoicing in Christ Jesus, and having no confidence in the flesh,
Php_3:3 ἡμεῖς
γάρ ἐσμεν ἡ
περιτομή, οἱ Πνεύματι
Θεοῦ
λατρεύοντες
καὶ
καυχώμενοι ἐν
Χριστῷ
᾿Ιησοῦ καὶ
οὐκ ἐν
σαρκὶ πεποιθότες,
Php_3:3 ημεις γαρ εσμεν η περιτομη οι πνευματι BAθεου TSθεω λατρευοντες και καυχωμενοι εν χριστω ιησου και ουκ εν σαρκι πεποιθοτες
Php_3:7 But such things as were gain to me, these I have considered loss for the sake of Christ.
Php_3:7 ἀλλ᾿
ἅτινα ἦν μοι
κέρδη, ταῦτα
ἥγημαι διὰ
τὸν Χριστὸν
ζημίαν·
Php_3:7 Aαλλα TSBαλλ ατινα ην μοι κερδη ταυτα ηγημαι δια τον χριστον ζημιαν
Php_4:8 Finally, brothers, as many things as are true, as many as are honorable, as many as are just, as many as are pure, as many as are lovely--if there is any virtue and if there is any praise--meditate on these things.
Php_4:8 Τὸ
λοιπόν,
ἀδελφοί, ὅσα
ἐστὶν
ἀληθῆ, ὅσα
σεμνά, ὅσα
δίκαια, ὅσα ἁγνά,
ὅσα προσφιλῆ,
ὅσα εὔφημα, εἴ
τις ἀρετὴ καὶ
εἴ τις ἔπαινος,
ταῦτα
λογίζεσθε·
Php_4:8 το λοιπον αδελφοι οσα εστιν αληθη οσα σεμνα οσα δικαια οσα αγνα οσα προσφιλη οσα ευφημα ει τις αρετη και ει τις επαινος ταυτα λογιζεσθε
Php_4:9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, practice these things; and the God of peace shall be with you.
Php_4:9 ἃ καὶ
ἐμάθετε καὶ
παρελάβετε
καὶ ἠκούσατε
καὶ εἴδετε
ἐν ἐμοί, ταῦτα
πράσσετε·
καὶ ὁ Θεὸς
τῆς εἰρήνης
ἔσται μεθ᾿
ὑμῶν.
Php_4:9 α και εμαθετε και παρελαβετε και ηκουσατε και ειδετε εν εμοι ταυτα πρασσετε και ο θεος της ειρηνης εσται μεθ υμων
Php_4:10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now once again you have revived your mindfulness on my behalf, inasmuch as indeed you were mindful, but you lacked opportunity.
Php_4:10
᾿Εχάρην δὲ
ἐν Κυρίῳ
μεγάλως ὅτι ἤδη
ποτὲ
ἀνεθάλετε
τὸ ὑπὲρ
ἐμοῦ
φρονεῖν·
ἐφ᾿ ᾧ καὶ
ἐφρονεῖτε,
ἠκαιρεῖσθε
δέ.

Rom_12:16 NKJV Be of the same mind
toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the
humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

αὐτὸ εἰς
ἀλλήλους φρονοῦντες,
μὴ τὰ ὑψηλὰ
φρονοῦντες
ἀλλὰ τοῖς
ταπεινοῖς
συναπαγόμενοι.
μὴ γίνεσθε
φρόνιμοι παρ
