[2]      SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [821B]

A wise man shall hear, and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth shall possess governments.   He shall understand a parable and the interpretation, the words of the wise, and their mysterious sayings. (Proverbs 1:5-6, Douay Rheims Catholic Bible; DRCB)

Though it calls for effort, we can acquire direction and learn to ‘sail’ successfully on the sea of life.  As Proverbs indicates, we have to let ‘wisdom,’ ‘understanding,’ and ‘insight’ work together (Proverbs 1:2-6; 2:1-9).  And we can not neglect seeking divine guidance, for even the wicked may know how to ‘steer’ for unjust ends per Proverbs 12:5.

[3]  DISCOURSE ON LUKE 22:70

Luke 22:70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. (Authorized King James - AV)

Here some mockers of Jesus (Yeshua) were questioning and making fun of him.  Right before this statement he, Jesus (Yeshua) had said, Luke 22:69, "Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God."  (AV) clearly telling his mockers that after he finished his earthly course of life as a flesh and blood human that he would go to heaven and sit at the right hand of God (YHWH), his Father, as a spirit being.   It is to be noted that he plainly said at the right hand of God (YHWH) clearly showing that he was NOT God (YHWH) or a manifestation of God (YHWH), but would be a separate spirit being that would be working close with his Father in heaven.   This is in keeping with John 4:23-24, "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.   God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth." (AV)   Likewise, when the Son of God returned to heaven, he too would at that time be a spirit being as flesh and blood can not exist in heaven, 1 Corinthians 15:50 ";Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption."  (AV)   In fact as he was getting ready to return to heaven, Jesus (Yeshua) prayed to his Father (YHWH),  John 17:5, "And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was."(AV)   To be returned to his position that he had before coming to the earth.  This is very important as it shows that Jesus's Father (YHWH) was the superior one in the entire universe and that Jesus (Yeshua) was an obedient Son and recognized that all power and glory radiated from his Father (YHWH). 

Likewise, Jesus (Yeshua) has given him some of his power and glory and in turn he has given some of this power or holy spirit to his followers as shown at John 17:22, "And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one" (AV)  this scripture also shows he is one in purpose with his Father (YHWH) and that his followers would be one in purpose with him.  This is further shown a few scriptures later at John 17:24, "Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world." (AV).  It is to be noted that Jesus (Yeshua) always sought not his own glory but that of his Father (YHWH) and he said, John 7:18, "He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him." (AV)   Showing clearly that he sought not his own glory but that of his Father (YHWH) who had sent him.   One time when healing an individual he said, John 11:40, "Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?" (AV) emphasizing God's (YHWH's) glory and not his own and showing the need to believe without reservation in his Father (YHWH) for all his followers.

Now, let's return to and learn the contents of Luke 22:70 and what was befalling Jesus (Yeshua), let's look at, Luke 22:63 - 68, "And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.  And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?  And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.   And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go." (AV)   Thus we clearly see that Jesus (Yeshua) is a separate and distinct entity from his Father (YHWH) and therefore could NOT be a part of a Duality or Trinity of one God existing in various manifestations; for this to be the case the scriptures would have to read God the Son and not the Son of God. Also, God (YHWH) could not have come and given his human life to redeem mankind as the Bible clearly shows that no one has seen God (YHWH) at any time, John 6:46, "Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father." As only Jesus (Yeshua) has seen him.

[2] SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [VOL. [823B]

And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:  12  That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.   Hebrews 6:11 – 12,  [authorized King James Bible; AV]

Sometimes it is necessary for faithful ones and their family to follow through with vows that are painful, but win Almighty God (YHWH) approval.  One such case was Jephtah and his God fearing daughter which was reCordered at Judges 11:34 - 39, [AV] “And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.  35  And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.  36  And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.  37  And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.  38  And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.  39  And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,”  And this came about by a vow her father made that if he were given victory over Ammon per Judges 11:30 – 31, [AV] “And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,  31  Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’S, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.”

[3]      LONICERA CAERULEA (BLUE-BERRIED HONEYSUCKLE OR SWEETBERRY HONEYSUCKLE

Here is a Commentary on Bountiful Trees and Vegetables God (YHWH) has provided for mankind, specifically the Lonicera caerulea (Blue-berried Honeysuckle or Sweetberry Honeysuckle) is a honeysuckle native throughout the cool temperate Northern Hemisphere.

It is a deciduous shrub growing to 1.5–2 m tall. The leaves are opposite, oval, 3–8 cm long and 1–3 cm broad, glaucous green, with a slightly waxy texture. The flowers are yellowish-white, 12–16 mm long, with five equal lobes; they are produced in pairs on the shoots. The fruit is a blue berry about 1 cm in diameter. Classification
There are nine varieties, treated as subspecies by some authors[who?]:
* Lonicera caerulea var. altaica. Northern Asia.
* Lonicera caerulea var. caerulea. Europe.
* Lonicera caerulea var. cauriana. Western North America.
* Lonicera caerulea var. dependens. Central Asia.
* Lonicera caerulea var. edulis, synonym: L. edulis.[1] Eastern Asia.
* Lonicera caerulea var. emphyllocalyx (also known as Haskap). Eastern Asia.
* Lonicera caerulea var. kamtschatica. Northeastern Asia.
* Lonicera caerulea var. pallasii. Northern Asia, northeastern Europe.
*Lonicera caerulea var. villosa. Eastern North America.
* Haskap: an ancient Japanese name of the Ainu people (also spelled phonetically as Haskappu, Hascap, Hascup) but still used today in Japan and in North America.
* Blue Honeysuckle: descriptive translation from Russia.
* Honeyberry: coined by Jim Gilbert of One Green World Nursery, Oregon, and fairly common in North America.
* Sweet Berry Honeysuckle: an old common name from the 1940s.
* Swamp fly honeysuckle.[2]
* Known in Russia as "????????? ?????????" ("Edible Honeysuckle").
Distribution and habitat
The species is circumpolar, primarily found in or near wetlands of boreal forests in heavy peat soils. However, it can also be found in high calcium soils, in mountains, and along the northeast coasts of Asia and North America. Interestingly, it is absent on west coasts. It has not been found in Norway nor Alaska nor British Columbia.[citation needed]
Cultivation and uses
Russia's N.I. Vavilov Institute of Plant Industry has the longest history of collecting from the wild[3] and breeding this crop. L. c. var. edulis has been used the most in their breeding efforts but other varieties have been bred with it to increase productivity and flavour. In Japan (Hokkaido Island) and in the Oregon State University Haskap breeding programs, L. c. var. emphyllocalyx has been the dominant variety used.[4] The University of Saskatchewan Breeding Program in Canada is also emphasizing L.c. var. emphyllocalyx but is also hybridizing with Russian varieties and L. c. var. villosa.[5]
Within-row spacing is recommended at 1 meter if growing the plants into a hedge is desired. At 1.5 meters the plants can remain as individual bushes for many years. Plants will grow to be 1.5 to 2 meters tall and wide. It can survive a large range of soil acidity, from 3.9-7.7 (optimum 5.5-6.5).[6][7] Blue-berried honeysuckle plants require high organic matter, well drained soils, and lots of sunlight for optimum productivity. Lonicera caerulea plants are more tolerant of wet conditions than most fruit species. Harvest season can be 2 weeks before strawberries for Russian type varieties but Japanese types will ripen at a similar time to strawberries. Two compatible varieties are needed for cross pollination and fruit set. This is a northern adapted species that can tolerate -45C/F temperatures in winter. In North America most Russian varieties are adapted to Hardiness zones 1 to 4. Likely gardeners living in zones 5 and 6 would need to use the Japanese varieties, which are far less likely to grow during warm periods during winter. The southern range of where this plant could be grown is not yet known. Often it will fruit the following season after being planted, even if very small. Perhaps by the 3rd year 1 pound (1/2 kg) may be harvested. The plants may take three or four years to produce an abundant harvest.[2] Average production on a good bush is about 7 lbs (3 kg).[2]
Blue-berried honeysuckle can be used in processed products: pastries, jams, juice, wine, ice cream, yogurt, sauces, and candies. When frozen fruit is placed in the mouth it melts away. Seeds are not noticeable when eating but if they are observed they are similar in appearance to seeds found in kiwifruit. The skins simply disintegrate which has caused some excitement amongst ice cream and smoothie makers. The fruit also turns dairy products into a bright purple-red. It can make excellent wine, some say[8] similar to grape or cherry wine. The wine will be a rich burgundy colour. Its juice has perhaps a 10 to 15x more concentrated color than cranberry juice.[2]
Flavour, The fruit of blue-berried honeysuckle have been described as similar to raspberries, blueberries, black currants, or saskatoon berries. Bad ones can taste grassy or bitter (like tonic water). However, even the good ones will taste bad if eaten too early. Ornamental varieties were bred at Beaverlodge, Alberta, Canada in the mid 1940s which tasted horrible and were never intended to be eaten. Berries will turn blue on the outside before they are fully ripe inside. If the berries are green inside, they are not ripe; they should be a deep purple red inside when fully ripened.

COMBINATION OF [2]  THE SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY AND [3]   DISCOURSE ON JOHN 3:18   


[2]       SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [825B]


John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (Authorized King James - AV)

Interestingly none of us know it all, not even Jesus (Yeshua) as shown by Matthew 24:35-36, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.  "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only." (Revised Standard Version - RSV). But for salvation, knowledge of God is REQUIRED.  "And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. od" (John 17:3 - RSV).  But not just any sort of knowledge, ACCURATE knowledge is required.  Remember that there are those that " I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened. For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. " (Romans 10:2-3 - RSV). 

Jesus told his followers at Matthew 7:21-23, ""Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.  On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?'   And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.'" (RSV)

It is not enough to say that you believe in God (YHWH) and the Bible; one must do " the will of my Father who is in heaven ".  How do you do the will of the Father? By gaining accurate knowledge of who he is and what he approves of (they are connected) and then applying that knowledge in our daily lives.  We must all strive to find accurate knowledge of Who God (YHWH) is if you believe false doctrine about his person?  We cannot be content with the ignorance we possess.  The scriptures say that if " yes, if you cry out for insight and raise your voice for understanding,  if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.   For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;"  (Proverbs 2:3-6 - RSV).   As shown here we must do the "the will of my Father who is in heaven" here emphasizing their distinction as two separate entities showing the commonly believed false doctrine of the Trinity to be clearly not from God (YHWH) and not to be the Truth.  However, though not one in person or entity they are clearly one in purpose as shown by John 10:30, "The Father and I are one." (New Twentieth Century Version), and at John 17:20-22, where Jesus (Yeshua) clearly made the point of how they, he and his Father (YHWH) and his followers are one, "Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word; that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me.  And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we [are] one;" (American Standard Version - ASV)  Thus we can see their oneness is unity in purpose not being.
