this will be an unusual and dangerous page :
not directly because of the theme – that should be allright –
but because of “adding 3 days” without any proof whatsoever after the ’70th day’ expired ..
theme
‘the denial of Peter’ and ‘the sleeping disciples in the garden’
… yesterday for some reason the section strongly came to mind yet it refused
to make Sense – probably because of the pain ; today this came out :
that “two story lines are at play here” is rather sure [-before we’d attempt any
restoration of the text] and also the main theme most probably is about
the ‘soul dying out of love for God’ — which is less romantic as it may sound ;
but “connecting this section with the just expired 70 days” is dangerous
and perhaps even Silly : yet it is an ultimate attempt to not have another long
year looming ahead , while ‘an added three day trial’ is not impossible
problem : the real theme
John 13:37 does not have Peter saying to Christ “I will lay down my life for you”
but ‘lay down my soul‘ which must be the clue here : therefore in the previous
lines He must have said “love God like I love Him” , not “love eachóther” ;
while the ‘soul theme’ returns in the garden [in which allegedly the disciples fell
asleep while He was praying] where He says “my soul is sorrowful even to death” —
which however can have read “my soul is sorrowful for she will die“ :
in this case the prayer was not “that the crucifixion would not come to pass”
but ‘the soul dying’ was the sorrow … so that the important “Will of God” was not
about “preventing the crucifixion as such” but about : the soul dying” ;
as the very thing Adam ran away from [-see other pages]
Peter’s 3x denial was about ‘the soul not dying’
… we’ve to be careful here —
that Peter ‘denied Him’ can have been “because it was not the time yet for souls
to be taken away” – since that will only happen with the 144 – so that the denial
can have represented (the theme of-) ‘the soul not dying’ ;
in turn ,
this would make the event in the garden , after His praying , not about ‘disciples
falling sleep three times’ but “about you & we — considered (the -theme of) dying” !
so that originally it were two themes which Esau has forged into one :
the soul not dying the soul dying
3 times [-denial] 3 times [-something]
before dawn [the rooster] also a time frame
[‘dawn’ = eden-morning] […..?……]
a rooster or ‘a trumpet’ ?
… we cannot know if “the crowing [lit.: ‘sounding’] rooster” theme is true or not –
perhaps it said “trumpet” but would that make sense ? could they have started
the day – at 6am – by blowing a horn throughout the city ? perhaps Esau can
have changed if from ‘a trumpet’ to conceal the ‘foreshadowing’ theme ?
three times then — three days now ?
so we have “three times before Dawn started” … but how that would show in
the lines about the garden ? if Peter was ‘tried’ then so we – is it not ?
so that now comes the dangerous question :
it was all about ‘being dead’ the past 48 hours —
can ‘our being tried’ be “the disappointment that He has not acted” after the
70th day has expired just ago ? would we have failed (it) if we had been
angry with Him – as a proof that we had not died ?
coincidentally that log also was about ‘His Will’ .. then what can He have said
in that garden ? instead of saying to Peter “you could + not + watch [‘be strong’]
with + me + one + hour” it was “that they be strong + for + three + days” ?
did He say about us “that they will not enter into trial (‘temptation’) [Mt.26:41] ?
so that we would not be angry with God for not acting ?
if it wás said about us then it supports “Peter (‘disciples’) being tried and we”
indeed as two different subjects and not as ‘one story’ !
why ‘three days’ ?
… perhaps because of ‘the morning’ – that could be ‘the eden morning’ to us ;
perhaps because of the “us being made to rise on the third day – like He” ;
it may sound outlandish and even pretentious — but it’s possible ;
then there’s something else :
in Mt.26:31 , said to the disciples , “Then saith Jesus unto them,
All ye shall be offended [lit.: you shall stumble’] because of me this night:
for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be
scattered abroad.” ,
and said to warn for ‘the denying of Him’ [-yet so unclear that it álso can have
referred to the alleged “sleeping of the disciples” because the story is mixed up] ;
supposedly taken from a [very corrupt-] line in Zechariah 13 ,
where in John Peter says “cannot I follow you now ?” ;
however , Hos.6 has “Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn,
and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will
he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.”
Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD …. (etc)”
now – the lines are corrupted but suppose the ‘third day’ is valid , supported by
the ‘smite’ phrase ? would that not support this theme ?
also , the “smite line” was not said to the disciples , because John 13 is the proper
intro unto them , but must have been about us
so that we have some 18 hours from now to see whether the above is palpable ;
in truth there is very little chance — but it is possible …
