Parable of the rotton apple
NoT that the apple was the ?guilty? fruit in Eden. If the (so visible) option to stray had been missing in Eden, would all thinking ability have had to be missing as well?
But let?s use the apple. To stray is to stray into imperfection. God is Life (surely? THE very life force). And He ?is perfect?.
An apple we can say is perfect, but once imperfection (corruption/rot) begins, can the apple reverse its course? And become/make itself again perfect? (No but God can.)
God Himself engineered the fall/straying/imperfection - greek hamartia - ?missing the mark? - translated sin or transgression, which description kind of misses the mark, lol.
Are there 3 outlines God has left us showing what it is He is doing? (It?s not so much what He created, but what He is creating(?)
#1 - the week
6OOO years of letting things (imperfection) run its course; followed by a 7th millennium, a Sabbath millennium (the ?aionion/eonian life? all believers will rise into, Jn.5:28,29). But ?the rest of the dead rise not until aFter the thousand years? Rev.20:5, and they rise into ?aionion/eonian judgment/krises/decision?. An ?aionion/eonian kolasis/korrection/correction - surely very same correction some experience during this brief lifetime, surely? Since God chooses which role all play. Imperfection is an abyss of potential, how low can we go? ALL cAn or could go wAy low, ultimately. It?s His hand in or out of the way that determines (each role every one of us humans play). Imperfection, no matter the degree has the deadly prognosis. As it is opposite of God/Life.
So, there must be an ?8th? day/millennium. (Logic. Root word of which is logos - ?reasoning expressed in words? and expressed in the firstborn Son.)
The ?last great day? (Jn.7:37 a glimpse of?) which surely? consists of Rev.20:7-15. Any unlikely stubborn hold outs after age of correction will be finally purified at the fiery ReGenesis (event, imo, not a ?place? at all) - Rev.21:1-5; 2Pet.3:12-13.
#2 outline - the Fall Holy Days (of Lev.23:23-43)
A. (the) Trumpets of Rev, then 10days/1000yrs until B. Day of Atonement (GWT) as aionion/eonian correction (lasting) 5days/500yrs until C.Tabernacles! And after - fiery - total ReGenesis, God ?will now tabernacle with mankind?. Rev.21:5 - ?I make all new!? - 2Pet.3:12,13. God is then, ?all in all? (1Cor.15:28).
?The lion will eat straw like the ox? Is.11:7.
#3 - The Hebrew harvests, barley, wheat, grapes
Mt.13:33 - key word 3 - ?the kingdom is like a woman working leaven into 3 batches/loaves, until ALL is leavened?.
1Cor.15:22-24,28 - ?For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in turn: [1]Christ, the firstfruits; then, [2]when he comes, those who belong to him. Then [3]the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power ..so that God [3]may be all in all.?
?By lot? - kleroo: to assign by lot
Chosen by Him, by lot (lucky shake of the heavenly dice?)
?destined in accord with the purpose of Him, who is working all things according to the counsel/intention of His will..? All ?in heaven and Earth? fully immunized from straying/imperfection. God has left the decomposing apple on the table (or counter) for all to see. And remember what they say about one bad apple.
Jesus said, ?All those in the tombs/graves will hear His voice and will come forth? (from the graves/tombs) ?some in the resurrection of life. And some in the resurrection of judgment? (Jn.5:28-29) which elsewhere He calls agelasting-correction or aionion/eonian-kolasis? (Mt.25:46).
