Hebrews 5:1-4 ~ deal gently

 

This amazing Papyrus is HEBREWS 5
Dated Late First or Early Second Century
Owned today by the University of Michigan

Papyrus 46 is a collection of 104 pages of early Scripture from the late first or early second century - depending on the way it's punctuated. The collection, shown Hebrews 5 above, has similarities to other Scripture the reader wanted to be close to.

 

Hebrews 5:1-4

For every high priest chosen from among men 

is appointed to act on behalf of men 

in relation to God, 

to offer gifts 

and sacrifices for sins.

He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, 

since he himself is beset with weakness.

3 Because of this he is obligated 

to offer sacrifice for his own sins 

just as he does for those of the people. 

4 And no one takes this honor for himself, 

but only when called by God,

 just as Aaron was.

1 Thessalonians 2

3 For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you. 4 On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts. 5 You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed — God is our witness. 6 We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority. 7 Instead, we were like young children among you.

2 Timothy 4:2

Preach the word; 

be prepared in season 

and out of season; 

correct, rebuke 

and encourage--with great patience 

and careful instruction.

God knew when He allowed Aaron into the Holy of Holies, Aaron's purpose to visit the Seat of Mercy with blood. The Ark of the Covenant is actually supposed to be the seat God sits on. His Throne on earth. Welcome to sit on His Throne in the Temple.

Josephus reports in The Book of the Jews, during both times of Temple destruction,

Josephus records a unique history of The Court of Women, This curved staircase of fifteen steps led up to the Nicanor Gate (m. Mid. 1.4; 2.6). According to Josephus, this gate was larger than the other nine gates (being fifty cubits high with doors forty cubits wide); its doors were supposed to have been made of Corinthian bronze (War 5.201) and it took twenty men to open and close it (War 6.5.3; 293).

According to the Mishnah (Middoth 2,5) the Women's Court was just over 200 feet square between bounding lines. Each court on the outside was 60 feet square. The colonnade ran around the court, and within it, against the wall, the thirteen chests, or 'trumpets,' for charitable contributions were placed.

The Gate of the Court of Women unbolted by His Hand unseen,

Nicanor Gate,

allowing the destroyers into the Temple.

According to Josephus, during the Roman attack on the revolutionaries

 who had taken refuge in the Temple,

 the Nicanor Gate opened of its own accord after having been closed and bolted

 [War 6.5.3; 293-94].)

And the Angels of Gold on the Walls, 

of the Holies of Holies,

had their golden wings

suddenly have dimensions and cover their eyes.

Aaron comes in and puts blood for sins all over the place. God is acknowledging - what we say about mankind. About 'people'. God is saying this: Tell the kids I love them - God.

We grow old when we see our children don't need us. They move on as the Bible says they are entitled to. We realize we had our day. The Jews did not do this - Christians do.

Peter lived with his brother and their wives, with his mother-in-law.

Jesus refers to Heaven in John 14

as a House with Many Mansions.

God sent Jesus to earth - it was the plan since Genesis 1 - The Holy Spirit abides on the waters of Creation while loving us and wanting to be closer. God's Good Son - leaves Heaven to bring us to God. And Jesus' gift to God - a new Heaven and a new earth. Man in - Dark out. The Light shines and the dark has not overcome.

1 Thessalonians 2
Just as a nursing mother cares for her children, 8 so we cared for you. B

ecause we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well. 9 Surely you remember, brothers and sisters, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you. 

10 You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. 11 For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, 12 encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.

13 And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.

14 For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God’s churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people the same things those churches

Papyrus 46 was entrusted to someone who took great care of the 104 Chapters of Scripture Papyrus. God entrusted that person wisely. And in this amazing care, 1,800-year-old Scripture is in flawless condition for this age. Teaching us - Scripture goes back to the time of Jesus' natural lifespan.

Enabling us to see this as a seamlessly woven robe in time sequence.

A Word so true - we would reach for His hem - to be made whole.


Seamless Scripture helps us to recall what the Prophet Joel told us in Chapter 3.

We are all headed to God's Mansion of many rooms. Multitudes and multitudes will arrive where every knee will bow to Jesus Christ - God's Son.

We will be asked how are you caring for what is entrusted to you.

We would want to do what Jesus teaches us.

To deal gently

Not exalt ourselves

Offer prayer for the people entrusted to you

Obey God

To work to listen

Know the basic principals of God, the Word of Righteousness

Discernment of good and evil

Not to lead in error or impurity or any attempt to deceive

Please God who tests our hearts

Not flattery, or a pretext for greed

Like a nursing mother taking care of her own children.

A father with his children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you To walk in a manner worthy of God

Tell them who calls you into His own Kingdom and Glory.

Accept the Word of God, which is at work in you believers

Endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire

To see you -  are our hope, glory and joy.

We all want God to entrust us!

Isaiah 6:8

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 

"Whom shall I send? 

And who will go for us?"

And I said, "Here am I. Send me!!!"

We just need to remember at our Homecoming

 - God will ask us 

- did we care for what was entrusted to us?

What we long to hear Father God say is:

"Beloved, Child, Well done! I have run to meet you!!! Welcome Home!"

Abba, Father, 

Thank You, Father GOD,

We always ask Your Blessings. Willing Blessings.

We are a soul.

When our brain no longer functions,

when our breath departs,

when the plans of our mind perish,

You have ensured we are really an eternal Soul.

We will live believing, praising, telling Father God "Thank You, I have my being."

Mankind and all the Glories You have given us there, will not save us in wisdom.

We are blessed and privileged to call upon Jesus saving and helping us.

Lord God with only Your Word,

You established the stars and heavens.

Your Word calls the earth, the sea,

and all of your Creation - Good.

Blessed are we whose help is the God of Jacob,

whose hope is in the Lord our God,

The Lord and His Word sets us free;

the Lord opens our eyes again.

The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;

The Lord ends suffering.

the Lord Loves the righteous.

Daily we see we are blessed to have those around us - 

we Love

we take care of

We are Loved. 

We Lift up Those We Love. 

We say thanks to aches and pains healed 

and quiet ears. 

We say Thanks for prayers of Protection Answered

 - for each of us - every day. 

We say Thanks for 24 hours more Faith and finding Your Steadfast Love.

 For ourselves, for all believers. 

Jesus, we want more of You 

all over this world. 

More Heaven on earth.

 More of Your Good Will.

In Jesus, Amen.

1 Corinthians 15:35-41~ The Glory of the Heavenly is one kind †

 

 

1 Corinthians 

15:35-41

35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?” 

36 How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 

37 And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body. 

39 For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. 

40 There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another. 

41 There is one glory of the sun, 
and another glory of the moon, 

and another glory of the stars; 

for star differs from star in glory.

Edward has been showing me different video clips of people discussing seeing Heaven, God's Kingdom and coming back to discuss what they've seen. So many different view points of Heaven.

Revelation 7:9

 

After this I looked, 

and 

behold, 

a great multitude that no one could number, 

from every nation, 

from all tribes and peoples and languages, 

standing before the throne 

and 

before the Lamb, 

clothed in white robes, 

with palm branches in their hands 

Each point of view of the vast Kingdom of God is different. Not in looks, but in the Righteousness of God. One woman was shown the pattern, the interweaving of good and evil choices. All things work together for good, for those who Love the Lord and work according to His Purpose.

We see our lives with people God has given us, places, work, Church, cars on the highway going toward our very firm lives.  The Heaven she was shown said life is really the choices we make. And they ripple and form life. 

Ecclesiastes 11:1

Cast your bread upon the waters, 

it will come back to you.

Book of Common Prayer, 1662

Almighty God, unto all hearts be open,

all desires known

and 

from Whom no secrets are hid.

There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another. 

41 There is one glory of the sun, 

and another glory of the moon, 

and another glory of the stars; 

for star differs from star in glory.

1 Peter 4:10

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, 

as good stewards of God's varied grace:

James 1:17 

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, 

coming down from the Father of lights,

with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

Romans 11:29 

For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

Ephesians 2:8-9

 

For by grace you have been saved through faith. 

And this is not your own doing; 

it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Romans 12:3-8 

For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching.

2 Corinthians 9:15 

Thanks be to God for His inexpressible gift!

Psalm 69

Let your salvation, O God, set me on high!

30I  will praise the name of God with a song;
I will magnify Him with thanksgiving.

31 This will please the LORD more than an ox

or a bull with horns and hoofs.

32 When the humble see it they will be glad;
you who seek God,

 let your hearts revive.

33 For the LORD hears the needy

and 

does not despise His own people who are prisoners.

34 Let heaven and earth praise Him,

the seas and everything that moves in them.

35 For God will save Zion
and build up the cities of Judah,
and 

people shall dwell there 

and possess it;

36t The offspring of His servants shall inherit it,
and 

those who love His Name 

shall dwell in it.

Luke 1

 16 And He will 

turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God, 

17 and He will

 go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah,

 to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,

 and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, 

to make ready 

for the Lord 

a people prepared.

Matthew 19:26

Jesus looked at them 

and said, 

"With man this is impossible, 

but with God all things are possible."

1 Thessalonians 3:13

So that He may establish your hearts

 without blame 

in holiness 

before our God 

and Father 

at the coming of our Lord Jesus

 with all His saints.

Psalm 51:10

Create in me a clean heart, O God,

And renew a steadfast spirit 

within me.

Ezekiel 36:26

Moreover, I will give you a new heart 

and put a new spirit within you;

 and I will remove the heart of stone 

from your flesh 

and give you a heart of flesh.

Deuteronomy 30:6

“Moreover 

The Lord your God will circumcise your heart 

and the heart of your descendants, 

to love the Lord

 your God 

with all your heart 

and with 

all your soul, 

so that you may live.

Abba, Father, 

We come together to pray 

and ask You to be present, 

hear this prayer, please,

in Jesus Christ.

Dwell in me,

Dwell in us,

Dwell in those we Love,

Help us to seek You first.

And we will finish well, in Jesus Christ. 

Help us to find and bring

to become

 more Heaven

to this earth.

Help us with our needs

today

and You will help us tomorrow as well.

You have given us gifts

and one day

every tongue will confess

Jesus is the Lord.

You will see what we wove on earth.

Bless Israel with peace,

Bless families with living, loving hearts,

Reawaken God being first.

Bless this Nation.

Bless the Nations who need You.

In Jesus,

Amen.

He's got the whole world in His Hands.

He's got the wind and the rain in his hands.

He's got the whole world in His Hands.

He's got the little tiny baby in His Hands. 

He's got the whole world in His Hands.

He's got you and me, brother, in His Hands. 

He's got the whole world in His Hands.

He's got you and me, sister, in His Hands. 

He's got the whole world in His Hands.

He's got everybody here in His Hands. 

He's got the whole world in His Hands.
