Timothy Timothy means 'he who honors God'. In I Timothy, Timothy was in reversionism and Paul skinned him alive! Timothy though had a lot of doctrine in his soul and took it! And, now we find he did fully recover and is now a great SuperGrace believer. His recovery is part of the dying grace of the Lord for Paul. Timothy will take the torch from Paul and 'carry the torch of teaching genuine/real doctrine' to the next generation!
Chapter
1 {Note: Saul Benjamin Tarsus - Name-Saul; Jewish Tribe- Benjamin; Surname- Tarsus (city if you are not from one of the original five families of Rome) - became the Apostle Paul (means 'little' - grace orientation - I Corinthians 15:10 explains why.} {Note: The Gift of Apostle was award by Jesus Christ. An Apostle was given delegated authority from Christ to disseminate doctrine. When John died, the gift ended.}
2~~To
Timothy, beloved student {student/adult son} {Note: Epistle is addressed to Paul's student Timothy. Timothy was a great bible student but failed early in Corinth as a pastor. Now Timothy appears to have gotten it together and will soon become a great leader of the church.} {Note: The ministry of God the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore in the Church Age He remains in the background providing Church Age believers the power to Glorify the Lord. Therefore, He is never mentioned in the Salutations.}
{Verses
3-7 Paul is not ashamed of Timothy and that is a reversal from I Timothy} {Note: Timothy has now recovered and is a SuperGrace believer. This contributes to Paul's dying grace. He can now pass the torch to his faithful student Timothy and know doctrine is in capable hands. Every generation has at least one SuperGrace believer that carries the torch for that generation.} {Note: A pure conscience means that Paul now has filled the norms and standards in his conscience with 'divine viewpoint' - maximum doctrine in his soul.}
4~~
. . . longing {having a great desire} to see you {Note: From I Timothy, we know that Paul had to scold Timothy to get him to act like a man and fill his responsibility unto the Lord. We can guess from this verse that Timothy listened to his teacher's advice and was moved to tears by it. These could also be tears of repentance as Timothy got back on track. Now after 2 years, Timothy has recovered from Reversionism and is a SuperGrace believer ready to carry the torch that Paul will soon pass in death at the orders of Nero.}
{Paul's
good report of Timothy now - Timothy is out of reversionism and is
now in SuperGrace} {Note: Anupokritos - 'An' is the negative. Upokritos is the word for 'speaking from under a mask'. It comes from the Greek drama where the actors wore big masks and 'pretended to be what they were not' - being a hypocrite. So 'not a hypocrite' means to be real or genuine.} {Note: Lois means 'agreeable'. Eunice means 'great victory'. Lois taught Eunice but Eunice went into reversionism and married an unbeliever who was a handsome Greek (per Acts). But as Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go and when HE IS OLD he will not depart from it." Old here is 'mature' maybe 30ish or even later! They may raise the roof in their teens, but if taught doctrine as children, they will return to it.}
6~~Because
of which cause {genuine doctrine in Timothy}, {Note: Paul is encouraging Timothy to get the fire in his belly going hotter! Study and teach, study and teach. Timothy will be the SuperGrace communicator in his (the next) generation.}
{Paul
warns Timothy to never back down again - to strong women, to
bullying men, to anyone}
{Paul
now remembers Jesus Christ in 8-11 and he is not ashamed of Him either}
{A
slight change in subject - Orientation to Grace} {Note: Who having saved us is a 'constantive arist tense' meaning once you are saved you are saved forever. Considering salvation, Christ's work on the cross accomplished at least three things:
Reconciliation - Toward Man - removed the barrier between sinful
Redemption - Toward Sin - redeemed man from the slave market
Propitiation - Toward God the Father - Satisfied the Justice and {Note: 'Grace' is the name of God's predetermined plan. It is all God is able to do for us because of Christ's work on the cross.}
10~~But
at the present time,
{Note:
There are 4 categories of appearances of Jesus Christ:
1. The The-oph-o-nies (sp) - Appearances of Christ in the Old
2. The First Advent - having to do with becoming man to die on
3. The Christ-off-o-nies (sp) - the appearances of Christ in His 4. The Second Advent - yet to come!}
11~~For
which purpose, I have been appointed {Note: Didaskalos is the Greek word for an authoritative lecturer/teacher of a group of 'disciples' or serious students of the Word. There is a different word for one on one teaching}. {Note: 'Of the Gentiles' is not in the original.}
{Paul
is not ashamed of doctrine - the great deposit Verses 12-18} {Note: This is an eternal security verse. Once you are in Union with Christ, you are in One with Him forever.}
{Doctrine
resident in the soul - Verses 13-14}
14~~Guard,
through the agency of the Holy Spirit {Note: The first 'deposit' is Faith in Christ - salvation. This is the second deposit - bible doctrine resident in your soul. Guard it means to not go into reversionism.}
15~~You
know this fact {Note: This refers to the seven churches in Revelation Chapter 2-3.} {Note: Phygellus (Phy - gell -us) by coincidence means 'fugitive' and he is a fugitive from doctrine. Hermogenes (Her -mogg -a - knees} means great (eloquent) public speaker and was probably a name given to him as an adult based on his gift of speaking. However, both of these guys are reversionistic pastors and are leading many believers away from true doctrine.}
{SuperGrace
believer by way of contrast - Verses 16-18} {Note: This is to Onesiphorus' (On-a-ciff-or-us') family. He himself is dead and face to face with the Lord. He died as a SuperGrace believer.}
17~~In
fact, when he happened to be in Rome, {Note: At this point, Paul was such a controversial figure to Nero's government that even other Christians did not know where exactly Paul was imprisoned. Also, it is likely that by Onesiphorus' diligent search he became conspicuous to the Romans and may have lost his life over his friendship with Paul. Through his support, Paul received food, clothing etc and survived until Nero took his head.} {Paul's comments on his SuperGrace friend and blessings for his family though he is now dead}
18~~The
Lord {God the Father} {Note: 'Discover' here is a play on words from the verses above. Onesiphorus searched and discovered Paul in prison. Now he is face to face with the Lord and will 'discover' the rewards awaiting him in heaven for his SuperGrace life on Earth} ************************************************** Joshua_Sozo and Syndein are the Trademarks of Syndein a California DBA of Kenneth Sidley & Associates, Inc., a California Corporation.
