About Ephesians

Ephesians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Emmanuel the Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Emmanuel.
Ephesians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Emmanuel the Christ by the will of God, to the saints.(characteristic of God; those beyond being just believers; those aware that their character is that of God, those living in the reality of the presence of the holy nature within them, as compared to those who are mentally convinced of God's existence and the efficacy of His word).which are at Ephesus and to the faithful.(trusty, faithful persons).in Christ Emmanuel.
Ephesians 1:2 Grace be to you and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Emmanuel the Christ.

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Emmanuel the Christ.(or, Jesus; why then use Emmanuel?), who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Emmanuel the Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings.(the spiritual blessings he explains in the verses following are good things; the blessings of pardon, peace, redemption, adoption, the earnest of the Spirit, etc. and the opportunity open for us to do the same to others).in heavenly places.(word 'places' not in original; word 'heavenly' means 'the spiritual realm' which one is in {Philippians 3:20} with the higher consciousness thinking of God).in Christ.(or 'has blessed us with an eternal inheritance in or thanks to, Christ' {the work of the Infinite One}; the phrase 'heavenly places' is not in the original; but what about physical blessing?.Deuteronomy 28:1-14).

Paul here states his thankfulness for what God has done, as listed in the verses which follow here.

Ephesians 1:4 According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.
Romans 8:32.
Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Emmanuel the Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.

Ephesians 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved.
Ephesians 1:6 To the praise of the glory.(to be in a living mode where the Infinite One is continually proud of us:.Romans 5:8).of his grace, wherein he has made us accepted.(how?).in the beloved.

Original for word 'beloved' is 'family of love' or 'accepted in the love', that is, now in the family of love and in this family the Creator is as pleased with you as He was/is with His own Son:.Matthew 3:17; 17:5.

Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption.(no need to ask for it, it's automatic.when one really wants to change, wants to believe in a better way Christ died to give us:.Romans 5:6-8; 1Corinthians 15:3).through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.
Acts 13:38; Colossians 1:14.

Note it's the 'riches of his grace', not the abundance of one's own righteousness.

Ephesians 1:8 Wherein he has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence..
Original for 'prudence' means 'comprehending through thinking', that is, contemplation or thinking on how spiritual things can apply in life..Barnes Notes: The word here used for 'prudence' is 'fronhsiv' in the original and means 'comprehending', 'thinking' and 'prudence'. Contemplate of the truths of God you come to know.

Contemplation is one of four spiritual practices that benefit you.

Some truths of God.

Ephesians 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure.(and God's good pleasure is in when we are happy).which he has purposed in himself.
Original is 'Declaring us the mystery of his pleasure according to his intention'. And, God's intention for each of us on this road is different.(*).and yet overall, it's the same, as we will all be in this new great world.
Ephesians 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on Earth, even in him.
Ephesians 1:10 That in the dispensation.(OG can also mean 'stewardship').of the fulness of times he might.(word 'might' not in the original translations; there's no 'might' about it:.2Peter 1:19).gather together in one all things in Christ.(one body, many branches; shows that 'Christ' is consciousness of the Father), both which are in heaven.(1Peter 1:12 "...which things the angels desire to look into.").and which are on Earth, even in.(or, into; all is one but we need to understand how).him.

All things that have been out of kilter will be straightened out by the One qualified to do so:.Hebrews 10:5. Because all things were created by Him, that is, by Him who knows how to use the invisible Infinite Intelligent Energy. And, because of that, He knows how to bring us all into the Oneness of the purpose of life forever in this spiritual realm:.Colossians 1:16.

The multiverse is only.oneness. We think we are separate and that there are separate things 'out there' but it's only that way because of how we perceive things to be. We fail to understand that physical existence is all a hologram.

Ephesians 1:11 In whom also we.have obtained.an inheritance.(as long as we don't throw it away), being predestinated.according to the purpose of him.who works all things after the counsel of his own will.
We, like God, have the ability to think (*). We like God, have the ability to be a wise steward of money, if only we had it, right? Ha ha! Well, now you can have it. How?

Christ works all things in accordance with His alignment with Creator-Father:.Acts 13:22; John 4:34.

Ephesians 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory.(to be in a living mode where the Infinite One is continually proud of us), who.(who first trusted in Christ?.Matthew 3:17).first trusted in Christ..(Psalms 34:8).(?)
We are connected with Christ when in alignment with what Christ is.
Ephesians 1:13 In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed.(?).with that holy Spirit of promise,
"Holy Spirit promise of" what? Original is 'to be useful, to profit, help, to receive profit or advantage, be helped or have joy'.

Hebrews 13:5 "...he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you."

Ephesians 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Ephesians 1:15,16 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Emmanuel and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers.

Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Emmanuel the Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;.(?)

Ephesians 1:18 So that the eye of your mind.(one's 'innerstanding' of information from the third 'eye', one's intuition or gut feeling:.Jeremiah 27:5).being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling.(1Corinthians 2:9).and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints is.
Deuteronomy 32:9,10.
Ephesians 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to usward who believe, according to.(or, 'from which comes' {Greek 'kata'}).the working of the might of his power.(*)?
And it won't work much, if any, through one not motivated to have it and use it for good:.1Corinthians 14:32. Some would use it for bad, like these two, so there is now a lock on it.
Ephesians 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and set in his right hand.(Mark 16:19).the heavenly powers,
Christ's power came from the Father. What about us?.Colossians 3:3.
Ephesians 1:21 Which are above.(apart form).all principality.(original is 'beginnings').and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.
Christ is supreme over all, now that He's one with the Father again (John 17:5), that is, after his crucifixion:.Philippians 2:9. All those in the One (what does that mean?) are above or beyond the created multiverse and the evil in it brought by the dark side. 

From Online Bible notes:.in Galatians 4:26, the word 'One' could refer to either place or time.(i.e. place, such as the Jerusalem which is above in the heavens or refer to time, such as the eternal Jerusalem which preceded the earthly one. On the Earthly Jerusalem, the physical one, see here.

Ephesians 1:22 And has put all under his feet, giving him authority to be head over all things regarding the church,
Ephesians 1:22 And has put.(what the Great Infinite One, called 'the Father' in the Holy Bible did).all things.(word 'things' not in original; simply means all in the invisible and visible:.Colossians 1:15,16), under his.(Christ's).feet and gave him to be the head over all the church.

Original is 'of called' or 'all those called', that is, all those who are now of the nature of love. And, what is a 'church'?

Ephesians 1:23 Which is his body,.the fulness of him that fills all.in all.
Ephesians 1:23 Which is his body.(not just a group of people connected to the Soul through their spirits, but all things are regarded as a single entity, all things are a spiritual body, a device to use:.Romans 12:5; 1Corinthians 12:6; 12:12-14,20; 15:28; Ephesians 2:16; 4:4-6; Colossians 3:15).the fulness of him that.(words 'of him that' not in original).fills.(original is 'fulfils').all in all.(God is everywhere).

Colossians 2:9,10; 3:11; Hebrews 2:8; 10:25; Ephesians 3:19; in other words all is intelligent energy affected by intent, our intent to grow in higher consciousness and because of that, being filled with the spiritual energy of the Creator which is supplied more and more as we grow in higher consciousness principles and learning how to use them. But why? What's the God of all creation's long term purpose?.1Corinthians 12:6
