I believe His 15th Day of His months, every month, is His 7th day of His second work week..
I think Rome’s Sunday is as fake a its moon day, or its tiws day, or its woden’s day, or its thor’s day, or its frigg day,or its saturn day.
Their entire week is a counterfeit.
Their entire months are counterfeit
Their entire first/importance of the gospel is a counterfeit
Their Christ is a counterfeit
Their Mary is a counterfeit
The Jews haven’t been keeping His Sabbath because His Sabbath isn’t determined by Rome..
The Sabbath is His.
Not Rome’s
Rome owns Saturn day
He owns His Sabbath. It isn’t found using Rome’s calendar.
Btw,it isn’t found using Islam’s or Judaism’s calendars either.
Frigg day isn’t good
Saturn day isn’t holy
Sunday isn’t His Resurrection Day
Passover is His 6th Day
Unleavened Bread is His 7th Day
First Fruits is His 1st day, Resurrection Day.
Satan says frigg day is the 6th Day
That’s a lie, provable by scripture
You don’t have to believe that’s a lie
That’s sort of the point I’m making.
You need Satan’s Frigg day to be the 6th Day because if it isn’t( and it isn’t) it means all your doctrines of demons, even the very first/chief importance of the gospel, is a lie.
Satan has his own chief importance of the gospel.
You know it as Friday,Saturday Sunday.
The scriptures has its own chief importance of the gospel.
You reject it, but here it is, Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruits
Satan’s 3 days
Vs
God’s 3 days
Which do you find yourself buying ?
Yeah, I thought so
You can’t see it, but you’re actually a big cheerleader for what the bible calls Beast and Antichrist.
My suggestion is don’t read the Roman Catechism.
Read the Bible
You may actually find out that the bible and Creation isn’t silent on His birth day.
Hint: it’s not December 25
You may actually find out the bible isn’t silent on His circumcision day
Hint: it’s not January 1
You may actually find out the bible isn’t silent on His presentation in the temple
Hint: it’s not February 2
You may actually find out the bible isn’t silent on His death as the Passover Lam
Hint: Passover and Rome’s Friday aren’t the same day every year.. that bother you ?
You may actually find out the bible isn’t silent on His burial rest as the Unleavened Bread of Sincerity and Truth.
Hint: Unleavened Bread is always the day after Passover, and is always His 7th Day.
You may actually find out the bible isn’t silent on His Resurrection day as First Fruits as those fallen asleep.
Hint: First Fruits is always the 3rd Day from Passover, and is always His 1st work day of His 3rd work week, every month.
Passover-14th
Unleavened Bread-15th
First Fruit’s- 16th
That first importance of the gospel,in accordance with the scripture,has been changed and counterfeited to your 3 favorite Roman days..
I understand completely why you can’t buy that.
I understand completely with Islam can’t buy that
I understand completely why Judaism can’t buy that
Your faith is in Rome’s teachings.
So is Islam’s and Judaism’s faith in Rome’s teachings
What a world wide web of deceit that Satan has weaved with Rome and the Antichrist Papacy.
Corruption at the very first/chief importance of the gospel.
Thankfully we have the scriptures as a weapon against Satan.
Use the Roman catchechism if you want..
You are bizarre. So Jesus, who kept the Sabbath as the Bible says he did.....”as his custom was”.....was keeping the wrong day he said was the Seventh day? The very same 7th day the Jews have been keeping since his time and before? He was a Jew you know.
Are you on meds?
THIS must be the stuff that Luther REMOVED from the bible:
Colossians 2:16 kjv
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Well... earlier than the KJV I suppose...
>>>Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:>>>>
I’m thinking you don’t know the difference between the annual “Sabbaths” that came about AFTER sin, as opposed to the weekly Seventh day Sabbath that PREDATES sin. That Jesus said was made for man. That God put in the 10 commandments. The same 10 commandments John sees in heaven in his vision in Revelation.
It’s amazing what we discover if we actually study the Bible.
All ceremonial laws, those are the Mosaic laws, were done away with at the cross. From circumcision, to the annual Sabbaths, to the animal sacrifices ....which prefigure Christ...they were all “shadows” pointing to Christ. Done away with at the cross.
The moral law , lying, stealing, killing, worshiping other Gods, bowing down to images, coveting, adultery, honoring your parents.....and the weekly Sabbath ......were in stone and last forever.
These are not “shadows” pointing to Christ. These are moral laws the weekly holy Sabbath, created at creation in Genesis, they all predate sin.
In other words, they existed before sin and will exist after sin is eradicted. They are not mere shadows. In the perfect creation of Genesis...The Sabbath had been made for man and Adam means man. Adam loved his weekly day off. To cease all work in his beautiful paradise and set apart that holy day for rest and worship and communion with his Lord.
That is why Jesus blessed and hallowed the seventh day. And said it was “made for man.”
Its bizarre Christians can read the Bible and believe the ceremonial laws, which include annual Sabbaths, feast days, circumcision, etc.all written my Moses and put in a book and are not even in the most holy place........are essentially the same as the moral law, written by God in stone, with his own finger, spoken by him with his own voice, placed in the ark of the convenant and kept in the most holy place where God’s shekinah glory and presence was......
And you think they are one in the same law.
All because of that darn Seventh day Sabbath that just is a thorn in your side when all you have to do is accept it’s blessing and honor it each week and it is sign between you and God that you worship the creator.....it originated in Eden at creation, it’s even in Revelation....the “Lord’s day” and it be in heaven and the new earth.....Isaiah 66.
Come on man.....get real.
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
It does NOT say - "SOME" of the sabbaths.
Not bizarre Vespa.
You just can’t buy that Passover, His 14th Day of His 1st month, is His 6th Day.
You just can’t buy that the next day, Unleavened Bread,His 15th Day of His 1st month, is His 7th Day Sabbath.
Scripture can actually prove those statements as Truth.
The reason why you can’t buy 2/3 of what Paul called the chief importance of the gospel,is because you buy what Satan, the Beast of Rome and Antichrist Papacy sells you.
And you actually have this delusion that Talmudic Judaism that rejects the Passover Lamb, is somehow worshipping the Father in Spirit and Truth...
It pays to reject the Passover Lamb in your bizarro world, vespa?
Yikes!
>>>Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
It does NOT say - “SOME” of the sabbaths.>>>
It didn’t have too because everyone was observing the weekly 7th day Sabbath. It wasn’t an issue. What was an issue was holding people to the ceremonial laws including the other Sabbaths.
Goodness gracious......the weekly 7th day Sabbath was “made” before the fall. It was in a perfect world. Jesus “made” it holy. You can’t unmake something he made holy. They all knew that back then which is why the 7th day Sabbath was never an issue.
Even the gentiles told Paul........hey, let’s do this again next Sabbath!
Acts 13:42 says, “And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath”.
Like Trump told Biden .....I don’t know what you are talking about and I don’t think you know what you are talking about.
The whole Christian world knows what the first day of the week and if we know what first day of the week is...in a 7 day cycle, we can pretty easy figure out what the 7th day is. And this hasn’t changed in over 4000 years.....Jesus himself “as his custom was” went to the synagogue on the Sabbath.
In your bizarro world......Jesus gave us a commandment that we can’t figure out what day to keep.
In April you will probably celebrate Easter. It will be on Sunday, the first day of the week. So when you are around everyone.....ask them.....uh, why are we celebrating Easter on a Sunday?
Let them tell you since you refuse to read the Bible and figure out way. Because Christ arose on the first day of the week.....Sunday.
And by the way......The Bible opens with God working on Sunday. The first day of the week.
You live in bizarro world.
Passover is His 6th Day
Christ, the Passover Lamb died for our sins, on Passover.
Passover is the 14th Day of His 1st month.
Passover, the rehearsal, is repeated every month on His calendar.
It is commemorated on the same exact day, every month, the 14th Day of His 1st month.
It’s always the 6th Day on His calendar.
Because you choose to use the Roman Beast calendar, named after an Antichrist, you choose to follow exactly what your religion club says you shouldn’t.
Easter isn’t according to scripture.
The 3rd day from His 14th is always the Resurrection Day.
Always His 1st work day. Always His 16th Day.
When Satan’s Friday and His Passover don’t match up perfectly, it’s not the fault of His Passover, or His calendar or His Word.
The fault clearly (or not so clearly in your mind)is with Satan’s counterfeits, Rome’s counterfeits and Antichrist Papacy’s counterfeits.
You can’t see the difference because the Beast has your mind and what you do with your hands
A bit ironic but hey, prophecy can be a real eye opener..
And by the way......The Bible opens with God working on Sunday. The first day of the week.
......
The bible says no such thing, btw.
Yikes
His first work day was Let there be Light.. that Light isn’t the Sun because the Sun wasn’t created until His 4th Day..
And want to know a little secret?
There was creation created before His first Day of Let There Be Light..
Want to know what was Created before His 1st Day?
Genesis 1:1 tells us
Want to know what day of His points to that part of His Creation?
It’s a day the Roman Beast ignores every month.
But He doesn’t ignore it.
Ignore it like Rome and you May actually think sun day is the first day..
Yikes!
I don’t know what you don’t get about this. God starts his creation on a Sunday:
The Beginning
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth
The sun wasn’t there according to scripture, vespa.
You know what was there at the beginning?
John 1:1 In the Beginning was that Word and that Word was with God and that Word Was God.
The Creator has a Day,once a month, that commemorates that part of His Creation.
It’s not the first Day because He hasn’t said Let There Be Light yet..
Rome’s Sun day isn’t His First Day..
The Day He says Let There Be Light is His First Day.
And you know what?
He has a day at the start of every one of His months, that doesn’t commemorate Let there be Light.
That’s done at the start of each of His 4 work weeks every month..
The first day of each of His months, according to scripture, ISNT one of His 6 work days (like Let there be Light) or His 7th Day Sabbath.
Do you know what that day is called in scripture?
The Creator, to your mind and hands chagrin, has a day,at the start of the His months,that commemorates everything commemorated from Genesis 1:1- Genesis 1:2.
Then, He has a work week that commemorates Genesis 1:3-Genesis 2:2..
His first work day isn’t His first day of each of His months, BUT His first work day is the first day of each of His 4 work weeks in each of His months.
He has 4 work weeks:
Days 2-7
Days 9-14
Days 16-21
Days 23-28
24 work days
He also has 4 weekly Sabbath’s at the end of those 4 work weeks.
Day 8
Day 15
Day 22
Day 29
1 New Moon Day
24 work days
4 Sabbath’s
Darn if that doesn’t follow the book of Revelation totals exactly.
1 Throne where the First and Last sits
24 elders
4 Beasts
Oh, and a Lamb, the Passover Lamb in the midst of those 24 elders and 4 Beasts
That’s what you don’t ‘get’, vespa.
You don’t get it because you believe everything the Beast sells you..
The Creator, again, doesn’t tell time using Rome or Islam or Judaism
He uses His Sun (not created until His 4th Day btw), His moon (also created on His 4th day btw) and His Son, the Word that was with God and that Word that was God.
And that Word that Became Flesh and dwelt among us, didn’t get birthed on Rome’s December 25. He want circumcised on Rome’s January 1 and He wasn’t presented in the temple on Rome’s February 2.
That’s Rome’s swine teachings
He was born on the Day that the Father begins each of His months with.
A day He taught Ezekiel to set apart from His 6 work days and His Sabbath.
A day that isn’t part of the Beast’s calendar system,yet when counted as Day 1 of His calendar system, causes the 14th Day (see above) to be His 6th work day in week number 2 every month.
What day is Passover in scripture,Vespa?
What day did the Passover Lamb finish His prophetic week’s work of Redemption and Justification?
The answer isnt the Beast’s Friday Vespa according to scripture.
You aren’t using scripture to test and prove all things vespa.
You’re using scripture to confirm your own Beastly teachings and bias.
And your religious club actually says the Beast changes time and law and your club can’t see that it’s more than one Beastly Day vs another Beastly Day..
They’ve changed the entire Kingdom template to hide His aappointments, His work days,His Sabbaths.
Those who have the Passover Lamb can know His appointments, and why they are where they are, and who they point to.
They can know His work days and what they commemorate.
And His Sabbath’s and what they commemorate.
That’s rehearsed every day, every week, every month on His calendar.
1 throne
24 elders
4 Beasts
And the Passover Lamb, as slain,in the middle
Rome,Islam and Judaism can’t follow that pattern because to do so, would destroy their own doctrines of demons.
Christianity these days has the exact same problem.
Satan does truly deceive the whole world, vespa.
Whether you want to admit that or not.
Some have come to that conclusion because they’ve been led to test and prove all things with scripture.
Even silly or bizarre things like Moon Day January 6th.
Btw, I don’t expect Rome or Islam or Judaism or Christianity to do anything but continue to be follow the prophetic end of these about 2,000 demon possessed swine years.
Thank God it’s not about 3,000..
So your apparently small God can’t create the heavens, earth, and sun in one day?
Pal.....God didn’t even need 7 days to create the heavens, earth, sun, stars, animals, plants, man, and the Sabbath...which he said he “Made”.....(it’s a creation like anything else he “made”...Jesus said he “made” the Sabbath like he “made the sun)
God could have created everything above in one second. But what a glorious loving heavenly Father.......he gave us the 7 day week. 6 days to work, produce, be productive with our hands and take care of his earth...and then on the 7th day, he gave us a rest day. To cease from work and remember who gave us life and everything and fellowship with one another and commune with him.
YOu think God can’t create heavens earth and sun and daylight in one day? You have a very small God.
Ugh..
The scriptures (remember those ?), Say He created the lights in the firmament, the greater light to rule the Day (that’s the sun up there vespa) and the lesser light to rule the night (that’s the moon up there vespa),on the 4th Day.
You Romans have a lot of nerve changing times and law..
Satan is soo proud!
>>Ugh..

Uhg, I don’t hang God up on petty technicalities about light and dark and sun and moon and whatever else he chooses to reveal to us about his glorious creation.
I go by what he revealed in scripture and scripture he created something at the beginning and when he was done creating some kind of light.....that he separated from the dark......scripture says.....quote:.....
” and there was evening and there was morning the FIRST DAY.”
And that first day, what we now call Sunday, hasn’t changed since creation. What a small God you have......to subject him to earthly petty labels and concepts....
The plain scriptures are a real problem for you.
Amazing that sun worshippers like Rome would ignore the plain scriptures but that’s why Daniel predicted what he predicted.
It’s like the sun and moon on His 4th Day is trumped by Rome’s Day of the Sun because the Pope Gregory ordains it..
His Day is Coming, vespa.
Rome’s days, all of them, are numbered..
Hardest hit?
Sun day
Moon day
Tiws day
Woden’s day
Thor’s day
Frigg day
Saturn day
Rome
Antichrist Papacy
Antichrist Islam
Antichrist Judaism
Roman Christianity
Tick tock
I don’t know what the heck you are trying to say.
Maybe I need to start over with you.
Tell me what you believe about the Seventh day Sabbath that God “made” (Jesus said he “made” the sabbath).....tell me what you believe about that very specific day that God made holy, that he sanctified at creation.
Tell me your thoughts about the Seventh day Sabbath. Made holy at creation, for man, in the 10 commandments, which are seen by John in Revelation.
Whats up?
Tell me what you believe about the Seventh day Sabbath that God “made” (Jesus said he “made” the sabbath).....tell me what you believe about that very specific day that God made holy, that he sanctified at creation.
....
The first Sabbath Day of His months commemorate Him resting at Creation AND the Day He was circumcised as an 8 day old.
The second Sabbath Day of His months commemorate Him resting at Creation AND the Day He rested in the tomb as the Unleavened Bread(15th) of Sincerity and Truth
The third Sabbath Day of His months commemorate Him resting at Creation AND the Day He stood up on the last and great day (22nd) and offered those who thirsted to come to Him, and Drink.
The fourth Sabbath Day of His months commemorate Him resting at Creation AND the Day Moses came down the mount with the 2 tables of hhe Covenant and about 3,000 were slain AND the Day His Holy Spirit Came Down and landed upon His Assembly, and about 3,000 were saved (29th)
Each of those 4 7th Day Sabbath’s have 6 days of work that precede them..
Days 2-7 in His 1st work week
Days 9-14 in His 2nd work week (note Passover is 14th)
Days 16-21 in His 3rd work week (note Resurrection Day is the 16th in His 1st month AND manna from heaven began on the 16th day of His 2nd month)
Days 23-28 in His 4th work week
The 7th Day Sabbath’s that follow those sets of 6 work days in those 4 weeks is His 8th, 15th,22nd and 29th Days, respectively..
And remarkably, He has ‘High Sabbaths’ that happen on the 15th and 22nd and 29th days, and one on the Day of the New Moon of His 7th month, and the 10th Day (normally a work day) in His 7th month.
From the looks of it, only one of His ‘High annual’ Sabbath’s don’t land on His 1st, His 8th,His 15th, His 22nd or 29th day.
So His weekly 7th Day Sabbath’s also double as High annual Sabbath’s in certain select months.
What a wonderful thing for a Gentile believer to understand.
Something that Judaism doesn’t even understand.
If they had the Son, maybe they’d have the opportunity to Remember His Sabbath instead of trying to postpone them because they may appear to conflict with their Saturn Day.
Judaism would if they understood why He taught Ezekiel to set apart His Day of the New Months from His 6 work Days and His Sabbath.
Genesis does give clues.
And of course, the Word Made Flesh offers the best clues and testimony and witness.
His birth on the New Moon Day
His circumcision on His Sabbath
His presentation in the temple on an annual Sabbath
His baptism on His Birth Day
His beginning His ministry on an annual Sabbath
His death on His 6th work day
His burial rest on His Sabbath
His Resurrection on His 1st work day
His gifting the Holy Spirit on an annual Sabbath
Those days aren’t found using Rome’s calendar, Rome’s months, Rome’s weeks or Rome’s days..
Those days are found using His lights in the firmament He created for signs, and appointments and days and years..
The 15th Day of His month, for example, is the Day Israel was led out of bondage in Egypt.
That day is determined two ways.
The lights in the firmament and the status of the barley crop in Israel..
The problem is that Judaism, because they don’t have the Son, doesn’t realize that the 15th Day of His 1st month isn’t just an annual Sabbath , but it’s a weekly Sabbath.
Why is it a weekly Sabbath?
Because of the Word Made Flesh..
And that day is His weekly Sabbath even if it appears to land on a Roman Monday or any other Roman Day..
That’s the part Islam,Judaism and Christianity can’t buy..
Remarkably prophetic because that 15th Day of His 1st month is central to what Israel is to have as a sign on their hands and on their foreheads in Exodus 13..
Because it was on that very day Israel was delivered out of Egypt by the might Hand of God.
Gentile believers can know that’s the same exact day Christ laid in the tomb.
And that day isn’t determined by Friday, but by Passover, the 14th Day.
And the 14th Day is determined by the same thing discussed earlier..
Lights in His firmament and the crops in Israel.
Like Israel was taught.
What they don’t understand is the 14th Day is His 6th day because He begins every month with a day that isn’t one of His 6 work days or His Sabbath..
And the day that starts every month does point to the Light, but it doesn’t point to the sun.
It points to the Son..
1 Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul. 2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3 So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.
4 The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus. 5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. John was with them as their helper.
6 They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus, 7 who was an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith. 9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, 10 “You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? 11 Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind for a time, not even able to see the light of the sun.”
Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand. 12 When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord.
13 From Paphos, Paul and his companions sailed to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem. 14 From Perga they went on to Pisidian Antioch. On the Sabbath they entered the synagogue and sat down. 15 After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent word to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have a word of exhortation for the people, please speak.”
16 Standing up, Paul motioned with his hand and said: “Fellow Israelites and you Gentiles who worship God, listen to me! 17 The God of the people of Israel chose our ancestors; he made the people prosper during their stay in Egypt; with mighty power he led them out of that country; 18 for about forty years he endured their conduct[a] in the wilderness; 19 and he overthrew seven nations in Canaan, giving their land to his people as their inheritance. 20 All this took about 450 years.
“After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet. 21 Then the people asked for a king, and he gave them Saul son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled forty years. 22 After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’
23 “From this man’s descendants God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as he promised. 24 Before the coming of Jesus, John preached repentance and baptism to all the people of Israel. 25 As John was completing his work, he said: ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not the one you are looking for. But there is one coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’
26 “Fellow children of Abraham and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent. 27 The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath. 28 Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29 When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the cross and laid him in a tomb. 30 But God raised him from the dead, 31 and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to our people.
32 “We tell you the good news: What God promised our ancestors 33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm:
“‘You are my son;
today I have become your father.’[b]
34 God raised him from the dead so that he will never be subject to decay. As God has said,
“‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’[c]
35 So it is also stated elsewhere:
“‘You will not let your holy one see decay.’[d]
36 “Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed. 37 But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
38 “Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. 39 Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses. 40 Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you:
41 “‘Look, you scoffers,
wonder and perish,
for I am going to do something in your days
that you would never believe,
even if someone told you.’[e]”
42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people invited them to speak further about these things on the next Sabbath. 43 When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.
44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. 45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy. They began to contradict what Paul was saying and heaped abuse on him.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. 47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us:
“‘I have made you[f] a light for the Gentiles,
that you[g] may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’[h]”
48 When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.
49 The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jewish leaders incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region. 51 So they shook the dust off their feet as a warning to them and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
