part III : therefore , (said to the 144,000) :
…
the entire part III below sounds incredible ,
yet it is the only possible Solid interpretation —
… after having explained ‘the new (=Original) body’ in ‘the other reality’ (=heavens) ,
Christ makes a simple conclusion here :
“the ones desiring to be reunited with their Original – wait for that moment” ;
and see next how this theme develops ! ;

now :
WHY “would they open immediately”.. ? – because they know the timeframe !!!
(and no – this is NOT related to any ‘rapture-ready’ sorcery) ;

[end of section III]
[=’the context , so far :
… two prophet chapters describe the above theme ,
and one especially how “the clock starts tickin’ after the understanding” —
IF
we would ‘just invent our own version’ here , then why is “three” and “a time” written
(apart from Esau having obfuscated the context by adding “two”) ?
you see .. ? ,
…
next : He describes whó is that group (this section is also the bridge to part IV) :
41
[=then] – said – Peter :
Lord , (does) this – parable – you spoke – (..concern..) – everybody ? ;
42
and – the – Lord – said : [42c+d : was very corrupt]
B
(it is) [+about] – (..+those..) +
who (will) become – the faithful – and – wise – (..sons..) [=’144,000’] ,

who – (..(will) serve..) – (..their people..) , [<< as the sons OF their people]
d
in – the season – [+when] – the – master (+of the house) [=God] – (will) heal – [=them] ;
[=’read : save ALL of Jacob’]
43
blessed (be) – the – (..servants..) – who , +
[+when] – their – [..] master [=Christ] – (will) arrive ,
(will be) found – (..among..) – (..the sons..) ; [<< be part of the 144,000 !]
43 [43 : attested in prophets]
verily – I say – (to-) you [=’Peter’] :
he [=God] (will) put – [+them] – in charge – over – all – his – possessions ; [<< in eden]
—————
[now the juxtaposition :]
part IV : but now about the pastors (=christian leaders)
…
like in ‘the wheat and tares’ parable (index) the “two type sons” are described here ;
quite a number of prophet chapters address “the 144 VS the pastors” theme (Is.56 etc) ;
subtheme : the real message of prophets :
… the buildup of this parable presupposes that these pastors KNEW the real message
(read : knowing about the context this site presents) ,
yet willfully have rejected it
– this aspect is important because in this IV a judgment is connected to that
(as described in several parables like “the wedding feast”, “the narrow gate” etc) ;
2.
45b+c ; the “mocking” and “drunk” –
… we cannot reconstruct exactly what it could have written here ,
but compare Isaiah 30+31 (see index) ,
“because they (=people / pastors) say to (=or ‘about’) the sons (=144,000) :
your words are slippery to us ; as the deceptive vision (=vieuw)” ;
line :]
45
[=but] – [..] the servants [=’other sons’] – (..who..) – (will) say – in – [..] their – heart :
(the) arrival – [..] (of-) [=our] – master – (will) tarry ; [<< ‘not happen soon’]
b
and – [who-] (will) begin +
(..to mock..) – the men-servants – and – maid-servants [=’144,000 candidates’] ,
c
(..saying..) – [+about] (..them..) :
[..2x..] [+they] (are) drunk [=’insane’] : + [<< but see note , and Is.30+31]
46
the – master – (of) the=those – servants – (will have) arrived –
in – (the-) (..year..) – which – [=they] – (had) – not – expected ;
b
[=as] – at – (the-) time – [=they] – (will be) not – aware of ;
c
[=then] – he (will) cut – [=them] – off , [sic]
and – appoint – their – portion [=’destiny’] – [to be-] (..that of..) – the – unbelievers ;
47 [47a : knowing the REAL message (=will) of prophets]
(..because..) +
[..] – the – servants – (..who..) – (háve) known – the will – [..] (of-) their – master ,
b
[=but] – (have) – nót – (made) [+themselves] ready – according to – [..] his – will ,
c
(will be) – greatly – scourged ; [<< as in ‘forever’..?]
48
[=but] – the (-ones) – nót – (having) known (-that) , [<< the real message]
[=yet] – (have) done – [things-] deserving – calamities [-to come upon them] ,
(will be) scourged – a short time ; + [<< tribulation]
b
[=because] +
everyone – (to-) whom – (has been) offered – something great [=’real message’] ,
much – (will be) demanded – from – him ; [<< to execute it]
c
[=but] – (to-) whom – (was) entrusted – (..léss..) , (..less..) – (will be) asked [..] ;
[=’above part IV : about the difference between pastors :
… a number of them will have rejected the message (which they learned from us) ,
but those who cóuld not have known , will receive “a lesser scourge” —
the latter means “that they did preach the gospel”
but have NOT addressed the eternal covenant (=’to return to eden’) ;
our problem :
… we’re relieved that a difficult theme is now resolved here ,
as one we couldn’t get clear out from prophets (=inbetween all the corruptions) :
…. in prophets we saw that when Revelation started
“people will be very angry at the pastors , saying “why didn’t you warn us” ;
we also saw how “the group being the pastors will be swallowed-up” ,
and an even more sober description in Ezekiel 13 :
but here shows
that there is a difference between “the pastors who DID know the message”
and “those who could NOT have known”
(we’ll post this difference right away in top of Ez. 13 page) ;
2.
the “greatly scourged” in line 47 c ,
… because the second group will go through the tribulation ,
the juxtaposition shows that the fate of the first group is worse :
coupled with “.. their portion will be with the unbelievers” (=non-saved) , in 46 c ,
we can only conclude that their destiny will be most tragic …
