65. Matthew 10:28 Soul and body
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. [kjv]
και μη φοβεισθε απο των αποκτεινοντων το σωμα την δε ψυχην μη δυναμενων αποκτειναι φοβεισθε δε μαλλον τον δυναμενον και ψυχην και σωμα απολεσαι εν γεεννη [gnt]
Jesus tells us that the "
body" and the "
soul" are different. Jesus tells us who we should
"fear" and it is not
"fear" about the
cares and
concerns of this world. The most dangerous attacks are not from the outside but from the inside and involve
deception.
One cannot "
destroy the soul" by
"killing" the body is in persecution (e.g., by the Roman administrations). The primary way to
"destroy" the "
soul" is through
deception so that you "
sell yourself out" or are "
sold out".
Jesus provides an example in the
next verse.
66. Matthew 10:29-31 Soul and body
67. Matthew 13:48 Gathered vessels
Matthew 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. [kjv]
How are the
"good" "arranged" into
"vessels"?
What exactly is meant by
"gathered" or
"collected" or
"arranged" into
"vessels"?
Consider
10 of which
5 are
"rotten" and
5 are
"good". There are three obvious possibilities for
"gathering" or
"arranging" into
"vessels". There may be more.
68. Matthew 13:48 Many to one
Matthew 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. [kjv]
A
literal meaning has more than one (fish) being put into each
"vessel".
The
"rotten" do not appear to have their own
"vessel" but that is an
assumption.
There is an implied separation of the
"rotten" from the
"good". Might this be related to the story in Luke of the rich man and Lazarus (not the one raised from the dead in John) and the gap or chasm between them.
69. Matthew 13:48 One to one
Matthew 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. [kjv]
There could be one
"vessel" for each
"good" (fish) into which it is
"gathered" or
"collected" or
"arranged".
This particular instance of a logical enumeration of possibilities is somewhat similar to certain aspects (
annihilation/
universalism models) in a set of beliefs called
Armstrongism after the teachings of
Herbert W. Armstrong (1892-1986), later (son)
Garner Ted Armstrong (1930-2003), as embodied (varying more or less over time) by the
Worldwide Church of God.

70. Matthew 13:48 One to one
Matthew 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. [kjv]
Might each
"good" already have their own
"vessel" and each is then
"arranged" in a specific area?
The end result is
functionally equivalent to the previous possibility. Perhaps this is why the word "
fish" is not used. Instead, a word for (unspecified) "
kind" is used. That "
kind" may include those with
"vessels".
The best alternative might depend on the code word meaning of
"vessel", used only
one other place in the
GNT.
71. Matthew 13:48 Quick and the dead
Matthew 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. [kjv]
Consider the following (as a starting idea).
The "vessel" is the "body".
The "vessel" is the "soul".
Something else.
The quick or living have a "body".
The dead need to be put into a "body".
The
"rotten" may or may not have a "
body" or
"vessel" but, without the "
oil" or "
mercy" or
Holy Spirit, there is no
hope. They may be
out of hope. They did
"come out" of the "
sea".

72. Matthew 5:25-26 Out of hope
Matthew 5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. [kjv]
5:26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. [kjv]
αμην λεγω σοι ου μη εξελθης εκειθεν εως αν αποδως τον εσχατον κοδραντην [gnt]
The exact form of the word
"come out" or
"go out" is used only
two times in the
GNT - the other being the corresponding verse in Luke. As such, it appears to be a play on words.
"εξελθής" ≈ "go out, come out".
"εξελπής" ≈ "out of hope, out of expectation" from the Greek word for "hope" or "expectation". Note that this is a made-up word of other actual words that could form a play on words.
Play on words:
you shall not be out of hope/expectation until ...
73. Out of hope in Luke
Matthew 5:26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. [kjv]
αμην λεγω σοι ου μη εξελθης εκειθεν εως αν αποδως τον εσχατον κοδραντην [gnt]
Luke 12:59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite. [kjv]
λεγω σοι ου μη εξελθης εκειθεν εως και το εσχατον λεπτον αποδως [gnt]
Luke uses the same word for
"come out" but the
KJV (King James Version) translates it as
"depart".
74. Revelation 18:4 Coming out party
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. [kjv]
και ηκουσα αλλην φωνην εκ του ουρανου λεγουσαν εξελθατε ο λαος μου εξ αυτης ινα μη συγκοινωνησητε ταις αμαρτιαις αυτης και εκ των πληγων αυτης ινα μη λαβητε [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"πληγή" ≈ "stroke from a sword or pike" but is translated as
"plague" in the
GNT (only in Revelation) and is the source of the English word
"plague".
The Greek for
"plagues" is that of
"strikes" which may or may not be what is thought of as a
"plague" today.
Some take this verse as an indication of the "
rapture". Some take it as the true believers missing the tribulation. There are several views.
75. Matthew 13:48 Vessels
Matthew 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. [kjv]
Perhaps the
"rotten" do have a
"vessel".
What might be the
code word meaning of
"vessel"?
76. Matthew 13:48 Decision procedure
Matthew 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. [kjv]
How do the
"angels" decide which are
"good" and which are
"rotten" or
"wicked" or
"oppressive"? A
decision procedure is needed.
A "
decision procedure" in computer science is a method or algorithm that, given some input, makes a decision that can be thought of as "
yes" or "
no".
One way is to have a distinguishing "
mark".
The "good" may all have some "mark" and the "rotten" may not have that "mark". [Holy Spirit]
The "good" may not have a "mark" and the "rotten" may have a "mark". [Mark of the Beast]
The "mark" may indicate which is "good" and which is "rotten".
Can there be errors in the
markings? Can there be errors in the reading of the
markings? Explain. [Idle words]
77. Marks
Consider the markings for A and B.
| Base 10 |
Base 2 |
Interpretation of BA |
| 0 |
00 |
no marks |
| 1 |
01 |
mark on A but not B |
| 2 |
10 |
mark on B but not A |
| 3 |
11 |
mark on both A and B |
Discuss:
Would the "marks" be definitive?
Might someone pass the "mark" test and be rejected at a later stage?
Might someone pass the "mark" test and be admitted to, say, the marriage feast? No problems once there. Right?
Might errors in decisions be passed on to a future step?
Might the decision process, in some way, be made self-selecting or self-determining?
[Elisha and the prophets]
[Paul Revere - one if by land, two if by sea - 3 states or marks]
78. Compiler theory
Consider a series of coded information elements called letters, spaces, etc. The
pipeline process used in computer science (i.e., part of programming language theory) is the following.
1. Lexical analysis of breaking letters, etc., into tokens. This is called the scanner.
2. Syntax analysis of recognizing tokens using grammar rules. This is called the parser.
3. Semantic analysis of recognizing valid meanings from the syntax. this is called semantic analysis.
4. Run time error detection and handling.
An error is an invalid program (in some sense). Some errors cannot be determined until runtime. Some errors (i.e., undecidable programs) may never be detected without going outside the system (i.e., to ask someone to make a decision).
Not all errors are detected at each step. If an error will be caught in a following step, there is no need to go out of the way to recognize that error earlier in the process.
79. Matthew 13:48 Vessel build
Matthew 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. [kjv]
The
"rotten" or
"bad" have been
eliminated from proceeding to the next step.
The
"good" are in the "
ark", so to speak. Do the
"good" with their
"vessels" now proceed to the next step? What is than next step?
They are now on the
"shore" which is a play on words with "
holy". Perhaps the next step is the "
wedding" "
feast".
80. Middle
Matthew 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, [kjv]
ουτως εσται εν τη συντελεια του αιωνος εξελευσονται οι αγγελοι και αφοριουσιν τους πονηρους εκ μεσου των δικαιων [gnt]
The Greek has "
out of" the "
middle" where "
middle" can be a play on words with "
Messiah".
The
KJV translates "
out of" as "
from" and "
middle" as "
among".
81. Matthew 13:49-50 Sever
Matthew 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, [kjv]
ουτως εσται εν τη συντελεια του αιωνος εξελευσονται οι αγγελοι και αφοριουσιν τους πονηρους εκ μεσου των δικαιων [gnt]
13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. [kjv]
και βαλουσιν αυτους εις την καμινον του πυρος εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων [gnt]
The parable of the "
sheep" and "
goats" appears to be by Jesus as God and King and not by the
"angels". The
"angels" are agents or work for Jesus as God and King.
The
"sever" is the same Greek word as used for
"separate" and
"divide" in the parable of the "
sheep" and "
goats". The ancient Greek word
"ἀφορίζω" ≈ "mark off a boundary, distinguish, separate".
82. Matthew 13:49-50 Sea of humanity
Matthew 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, [kjv]
ουτως εσται εν τη συντελεια του αιωνος εξελευσονται οι αγγελοι και αφοριουσιν τους πονηρους εκ μεσου των δικαιων [gnt]
13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. [kjv]
και βαλουσιν αυτους εις την καμινον του πυρος εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων [gnt]
Those fish in the sea represent both the
"wicked" and the
"just".
The Greek for "wicked" is that of those who do "oppression". These are the "rotten" or "spoiled".
The Greek for "just" is that of "righteous". That is, those that do what is "right" by God. These are the "good".
In Matthew, the words for "
hell" and "
fire" are used more than the word for "
love". When is the last time you have heard about "
hell" or "
fire" in a church sermon?
83. Song: Amazing grace
In 1779, Englishman John Newton (1725-1807) wrote "
Amazing grace". His mother died when he was 7. At 11 he went to sea with his father. His unruly behavior led to a flogging for attempted desertion.
Held captive by a slave trader in Africa, he escaped and became the captain of a slave ship. After a near drowning and influence from others, he left the slave trade and became an abolitionist.
The hymn "
Amazing grace" reflects the amazing grace that John Newton felt he had received after many trials and tribulations during his lifetime. He wrote many other hymns.
The Greek word for "
grace" means a "
favor" as in a "
good favor" and not "
joy".
84. Matthew 13:49
KJV: So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
Greek: ουτως εσται εν τη συντελεια του αιωνος εξελευσονται οι αγγελοι και αφοριουσιν τους πονηρους εκ μεσου των δικαιων
85. Matthew 13:50
KJV: And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Greek: και βαλουσιν αυτους εις την καμινον του πυρος εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων
86. Matthew 13:51 Asking for directions
Matthew 13:51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. [kjv]
συνηκατε ταυτα παντα λεγουσιν αυτω ναι [gnt]
Immediately after the last of the seven parables, as a good teacher does, Jesus (teacher) asks his disciples (students) a question.
Student and teacher (true story):
Student: Is this question going to be on the test?
Teacher: I do not put things on the test we have not covered. We have not covered this question. ... But now, as an example, let us cover it. (that just covered question was put on the test)
When you said it was not going to be on the test, I stopped listening.
Note the use of "
all these things" in the question. This means "
all the parables" including those not explained.
87. Revelation
Like many men (and some women), the disciples say they understand, not wanting to ask for directions (or more information). It would have been nice if Jesus had explained the other parables.
It appears that Jesus comes back in Revelation to supply some of the code word meanings for some nouns in the kingdom parables such as "
merchant man", "
pearl", etc.

The GNT word for "spoil" is the ancient Greek word "ἁρπάζω" ≈ "snatch away, carry off" and may be related to the ancient Greek word "ἅρπη" ≈ "bird of prey" as a hawk or falcon and which may be related to the PIE (Proto Indo-European) root for "reap", "harvest", "sickle". This word for "snatch" is sometimes translated "rapture" or "ravenous" as in "wolves".
Matthew 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. [kjv]
ην οτε επληρωθη αναβιβασαντες επι τον αιγιαλον και καθισαντες συνελεξαν τα καλα εις αγγη τα δε σαπρα εξω εβαλον [gnt]
Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. [kjv]
ουχι δυο στρουθια ασσαριου πωλειται και εν εξ αυτων ου πεσειται επι την γην ανευ του πατρος υμων [gnt]
10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. [kjv]
υμων δε και αι τριχες της κεφαλης πασαι ηριθμημεναι εισιν [gnt]
10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. [kjv]
μη ουν φοβεισθε πολλων στρουθιων διαφερετε υμεις [gnt]
