Ephesians 2:1 And you has he quickened,
who were dead in trespasses and sins.
Ephesians
2:1 And you has he quickened.(made
alive), who were dead.(how
much can a dead person do to change the way he or she is).in
trespasses and sins.(original
for 'trespasses and sins' is things that 'keep you from spirituality and
keep you missing the mark' of spirituality').
Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past you walked according
to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the
air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience.
Ephesians
2:2 Wherein in time past you walked according to the
course of this world, according to the
prince of the power of the air.(original
'ruler of the power of the air', referring to the corrupting consciousness,
the
mass mind of humanity and it's power to affect the blind {Matthew
15:14: Hosea 4:17}, those at the
ego level), the spirit that now works in.(original
also 'through').the
children of disobedience..(why
this is so?)
The original
for the word 'disobedience' is 'unbelief'; that is, if a person doesn't
believe in the invisible reality
of their existence, how will they ever think as a spiritual person
does? And they can't do this unless a miracle happens in the mind, a miracle
that is noticed when you want it to happen. When you want it to happen,
it's the work of the Infinite One personal to you: 1,
2)
Ephesians
2:3 Among whom.(original
is 'in which').also we all had
our conversation.(old
English for 'conduct').in times
past in the lusts
of our flesh fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind.(your
mind and the mass
mind together).and were.by
nature.the children of wrath even
as others.(the
mass
mind of humanity).
Ephesians
2:4 But God who is rich in mercy for his great love wherewith he loved
us,
Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins has
quickened us together with Christ. By
grace you are saved.(how
does God save us?).
Ephesians
2:5 Even when we were dead in sins.(or,
didn't even know about such things and were unable to move from the
human nature life of the ego realm
of sin and death, 'stuck in the mud' as
it were, stuck in the life of evil ways, stuck
in the life of evil and hurtful policies, that of hurting self, hurting
others).has quickened.('quickened'
means 'made alive', made alive with; the Creator supports all things by
his energy and this occurs below
the atom).us together with
Christ.
By grace
you are saved..That's
how
Emmanuel saves.
Ephesians 2:6 And has raised us up together and made
us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Emmanuel.
Ephesians
2:6 And has raised us up together.(a
higher
consciousness).and made us sit
together.(how much we
are truly loved to be made equal:.John
10:34).in heavenly places.(all
wil enter the true reality, that of the realm
of the invisible good, once they
awaken from their ego
sleep).in.(original
'in' or 'by').Christ Emmanuel..Understand
what 'Christ' is.
Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come he might show
the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through
Christ Emmanuel.
Ephesians
2:7 That in the ages to come.(that
is; the times after the One who became the Christ was here in the physical
form of Emmanuel and then returned to what is called heaven and made it
possible for us also to be in the family of God:.2Peter
1:4;
Jude 1:24; 1Timothy
1:14).he might show the exceeding
riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through.(or,
'thanks to', or 'in').Christ Emmanuel..Why
Christ came to Earth.
Ephesians
2:8 For by grace are you saved.(we
were already
saved, so what's
this word 'saved' mean?).through
faith and that not of yourselves, it is the.gift.of
God.
That's
why if you're having a hard time to have beliefs
toward faith, but want to believe, those in Christ such as the Bruno
Gröning Circle of Friends
who themselves have been helped and healed, will believe for you. And many
others will do similarly for you.
Ephesians
2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Like,
'my works are better than your works, so I'm really getting somewhere',
with the
implication
being that 'you're not', which all is an outcrop
of the low consciousness childish concept,
'my dad can run faster than your dad', 'my mom's a better cook than your
mom'.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Emmanuel unto good works, which God has before
ordained that we should walk in them.
Ephesians
2:10 For we are his.(original
has no word 'his', but implied;
and this workmanship can shape a person spiritually if
one wants to be)
workmanship.(*),
created in.(or
'through' {*}).Christ.(word
'Christ' means 'anointing', 'anointed'; that is, your
soul is now restored and has connection to the Father, the Creator
of all, through Christ,
the Intelligent Energy of the universe; you are the anointed one (?),
just
as the One they call the 'Christ', the author & finisher of our
faith:.Hebrews:12:2;
it's a process:.1Corinthians
6:11).Emmanuel unto.(original
'upon').good
works.(that is,
upon His good works which exchanged
your bad and purged you of spiritually
profitless works:.Hebrews
9:14), which God has before ordained
that we should walk in them.(original
can also mean 'walk in him', meaning Christ and to do that requires what
our attention may be on;
that is God has called
you to be so:.Galatians
4:19; Colossians 1:12. We are
here to awaken to and continue on in the purpose for which we are on the
Earth in the first place and what is that?).
So then how
can I learn today, one might ask.
Ephesians 2:11 Wherefore remember, that you being
in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that
which is called the circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Ephesians
2:11 Wherefore remember, that you being in time past Gentiles
in the flesh.(speaking
of physicality),
who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the
circumcision
in the flesh made by hands.(the
Jewish people);
Ephesians 2:12 That at that time you were without
Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from
the covenants of promise.having
no hope and without God in the world.
Ephesians
2:12 That at that time you were without Christ.(having
no interest in the spiritual things of life), being aliens from
the
commonwealth
of Israel and strangers from the covenants
of promise.(Titus
1:2).having
no hope and without God in the world.
Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Emmanuel you who
sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Ephesians
2:13 But now in Christ Emmanuel
you.(Paul is here referring
to the Gentiles as the verses just above show).who
sometimes were far off.(John
11:52 "...he should gather together in one the children of God...").are
made nigh.(near).by
the
blood of Christ.
Ephesians
2:14 For he is our peace, who has made both one and has broken down
the middle wall of partition betweenus.(*);
Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the
enmity,
even the law of commandments contained
in ordinances,
for to make in himself of twain, one new man, so making peace;
Ephesians
2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity.(note
there was an emnity; what was this enmity? It was the heart of mankind
back then and even today, no matter if they be of the ancient nation of
Israel or Gentile
or descendents of them.Deuteronomy
5:29), even the law of commandments contained.(word
'contained' not in original but implied)
in
ordinances (in Old Testament times, when they
sinned {missed the mark in doing what
they had agreed with God to do} they were required
to make a sin offering,
examples),
for to make in himself of twain.(two
being the commandments {which would have worked good for them, but back
then they didn't have the heart to want to be involved with them} and the
ordinances,
the things to do in life based on those commandments), one
new
man, so making peace;
Emmanuel came
to show us that the opposites in us were the same as they were in those
of ancient times, the opposites being something that could have proven
good for them, as compared with their
heart which was not inclined
towards good {Proverbs 14:12};
good is from the
soul {the source of good} and evil emerges
from the ego; Christ
came so that these two could be reconciled.
Ephesians 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto
God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity.thereby.
Ephesians
2:16 And that he might reconcile
both.(refers to verse
11).unto God in one body by the cross,
having slain the enmity.thereby.
The enmity
being that which kept us from God and what was that if not the ordinary
consciousness man has been in that has been so hurtful to him all throughout
history; the enmity is slain by Christ
in us and Christ is the epitome
of the higher consciousness of the Creator-Father;
it's an exchange:.Matthew
16:26.
Ephesians
2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off and to
them that were nigh.
Ephesians 2:18 For through him we both have access
by one Spirit unto the Father.
Ephesians
2:18 For through him we both.(both
Jews and Gentiles, as verse 11 and verse 19 shows).have
access.(original means
'to have been brought close to', that is, that relationship
with the Creator whereby we are fully and completely acceptable
to Him).by
one
Spirit.(means in
this verse that we {speaking here of those in
Christ} are in the good
part of the oneness
that is everything {because by a miracle of the mind having
awakened us we have chosen to be so} and so are others of different
mind in this overall oneness, but they are separated by what they are today,
but only for awhile are their frequencies
of expression as they are).unto
the Father.
Ephesians
2:19 Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners but fellowcitizens
with the saints and of the household of God.
Ephesians
2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
Emmanuel the Christ himself being the chief corner stone.(Matthew
16:18; 1Peter 2:6; Acts
4:11);
Ephesians
2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together grows unto an holy
temple in the Lord.
Ephesians
2:22 In whom you also are builded together.(*).for
an
habitation of God through the Spirit.
God
is in us.by
means of.His
spirit.
