I
John
Chapter
2
{3
Paragraphs in Chapter 2 - Verses 1-14 - the Divine Dynasphere}
{Verse
1 -Jesus - Defense Attorney in the Courtroom of Heaven}
1~~My
dear children
{John's nonresident congregation},
I
keep writing these things to you
in
order that you may not sin
{lose your momentum through sin}.
Nevertheless,
if anyone sins,
we
continue to have a defense attorney
before
the Father . . .
Jesus
Christ . . . the righteous.
2~~And
He {Jesus}
is
the propitiation
{atoning sacrifice}
for
our sins
and
not for our sins only
but
also for the entire world.
3~~And,
by this doctrine,
we
know that we have come to know Him
if
we continue to keep/execute/obey/fulfill His mandates.
4~~But
if anyone says,
"I
have come to know Him,"
but
does not execute/keep His mandates,
he
is a liar
and
the truth/doctrine is not in him.
5~~But
whoever continues
to
keep/execute/obey/fulfill His Word . . .
in
this one
{the believer residing and function in the Divine Dynasphere}
the
objective of the love complex from God
has
been truly accomplished.
By
this
{momentum from the love from God}
we
have come to understand/appreciate
that
we are in Him.
6~~Anyone
who claims to reside in Him
must
also himself so keep Walking
just
as He {Jesus Christ} has Walked.
{in the prototype Divine Dynasphere (DD)}
7~~Beloved,
I am not writing
a
new mandate to you
but
an old one,
which
you have possessed
from
the beginning.
{the beginning of the Church Age}
The
old mandate is the {doctrinal} message,
which
you have heard.
8~~On
the other hand,
I
have written a new mandate to you
which
is true
{reliable doctrine}
in
Him.
{Christ in the Divine Dynasphere (DD)}
And
in you
{believers residing and functioning in the DD}
because
the darkness
{cosmic 1 and 2}
is
passing away
and
the true light
{bible doctrine}
is
already shining.
9~~When
anyone contends/claims/asserts/maintains
that
he is in the light
{Walking in the Divine Dynasphere}
but
hates his fellow believer
{mental attitude sin}
he
is in the darkness
{out of fellowship until Rebounds}
till
now.
10~~He
who loves his fellow believer
resides
in the light,
and
there is no cause for ruin/reason
for
stumbling in it.
{the Divine Dynasphere/Light}
11~~When
anyone hates his fellow believer,
he
is in the darkness {cosmic system}
and
walks in the darkness
and
he does not know where he is going
{life has lost direction},
because
the darkness has blinded his eye.
{blackout of the soul}
{Verses
12-14 New Paragraph - Addressing the Positive believers}
12~~I
am writing you, my dear children
{new believers},
because
your sins have been forgiven you . . .
because
of His {Jesus Christ} Name/Person.
{Challenge
to three categories of POSITIVE believers - Verses 13-14}
13a~~
I am writing you, fathers
{mature believers},
because
you "have known and loved Him with permanent results"
[hoti ginosko (perfect active indicative)]
Who
. . . {was} from the beginning.
[see also I Corinthians 4:15]
[Note:
Ginosko means to know. It is used in
the Greek sometimes as an idiom for great intimacy - to really know
someone and love him/her anyway! It is used for a very high form of love.]
13b~~I
am writing you, young men
{believers growing to maturity},
because
you have overcome the evil one {Satan}.
13c~~I
am writing you, infants
[baby
believers positive to doctrine - but immature now]
because
you have come to know the Father.
14~~I
have written you, fathers
{mature believers},
because
you have come to know Him {Christ} . . .
Who
was from the beginning.
I
have written to you, young men
{believers growing to maturity},
because
you are powerful
{residence and function in the Divine Dynasphere}
and
the Word of God {bible doctrine}
has
continued/remained in you
and
you have overcome the evil one.
{Paragraph
2 - Verses 15-19 - Now Addressing the Negative
Believers
- the Cosmic System as the deterrent to Growth Momentum in the Divine Dynasphere}
15-16~~Stop
loving the world {cosmic system}
or
anything in the world!
If
anyone keeps loving the world {cosmic system},
the
love from the Father
{impersonal and personal love}
is
not in him . . . 16~~
because
all that is in the world {cosmic system} -
the
lust from the flesh
{Old Sin Nature} -
the
lust from the eyes
{mentality in the soul} -
and
the arrogant pattern of life
{residence and function in the cosmic system} -
comes
not from the Father
but
from the world {cosmic system}.
17~~In
fact, the world/'cosmic system'
and
its lusts will all pass away,
but
anyone who executes the will of God
{self-motivation/positive volition toward God and His Word}
keeps
residing forever
{in a superior resurrected body - rewards in eternity future}.
{Note:
RBT says this is NOT an 'eternal security' verse. Instead, this
verse indicates there will be at least two different categories of
resurrected bodies. A 'lesser' resurrection body for believers who
lived in the cosmic system and never advanced in spiritual maturity.
The cosmic system 'good' is wood, hay and stubble and burned away so
they go into eternity 'naked'. Next a superior resurrection body for
those who 'execute the will of God' and live and function primarily
in the Divine Dynasphere. The divine good production of gold, silver
and precious stones remain with you in eternity. This is probably
also connected with the wreaths of righteousness, life, and glory.
And, more specifically with the Uniform of Glory - Revelation 2:28
through 3:4.}
{Note:
See also Revelation 20:1-3 where the cosmic system's removal is discussed.}
18~~Children/Students,
it
is the last {favorable} time
{to use the Divine Dynasphere}
and
just as you have heard
that
the antichrist will come
{in the Tribulation};
even
now {Church Age}
many
antichrists {have come}.
Therefore
we have come to realize
that
it is the last {favorable} time
{to advance in the Divine Dynasphere to maturity}.
{An
ALERT Verse of Warning - Preparing you for People Testing} 19~~ They
separated/'went out' from us
{quit the study of the Word},
however
they were really
NOT
part of us.
{not truly positive and self-motivated}
For
if they had been part of us
{positive to the Word and self-motivated}
-
but they were not {2nd class conditional if} -
they
would have resided with us.
But
{they have reacted to us and separated from us},
in
order that they might be exposed . . .
because
not all believers are part of us.
{Note:
This third sentence in verse 19 is an elliptical negative purpose
clause and because of the elliptical portion, you need to insert
'they have reacted and separated from us'.}
{Paragraph
3}
{Verses
20-29: Conflict of the Divine and Cosmic Dynaspheres}
20~~
You
{In spite of believers defecting to the cosmic system} have an anointing
{of the Holy Spirit - the indwelling and filling of the Holy Spirit}
from
the Holy One
{Jesus Christ in the prototype DD}
and
you have come to know
{through study of doctrine}
all
things {bible doctrine}.
{Perception
of Doctrine only possible in the Divine Dynasphere}
21~~I
have not written you
because
you do not know the doctrine,
but
because you have come to know it
and
because no lie {pseudos}
is
from that doctrine {ek aletheia}.
{Note:
John is writing to believers who are positive and cognitive of
doctrine but they can not understand what happened to their friends
who have faded from doctrine.}
{Note:
Pseudos is the word from which we get pseudo. It does mean a lie.}
{Note:
Ek and the ablative of Aletheia means 'from doctrine' or from the
'truth'. Bible doctrine as the Word of God is the Truth and there is
no lie in what it teaches.}
{Still
talking about BELIEVERS Repudiating the Word of God!}
22~~What
sort of a person is the liar?
{the one living in the cosmic system}
No
one else but someone who denies that Jesus is the Christ!
This
same one is the antichrist -
who
repudiates both the Father and the Son.
23~~Anyone
who repudiates/denies the Son
also
does not have fellowship {social life} with the Father.
When
anyone acknowledges the Son,
he
also has {social life with} the Father.
24~~As
for you
{positive believer}
what
{doctrine} you have heard from the beginning,
it
{that doctrine} must keep on residing in you.
If
it
{what doctrine you have heard from the beginning}
has
remained in you,
you
will also reside in the Son
and
in the Father.
{have social life with the Son AND the Father}
{Live
your life in the Light of Eternity}
25~~Likewise,
this is the promise . . .
that
He Himself . . . has promised us . . . namely eternal life.
26~~
I have written you
these
things
{doctrines, warnings, mandates}
about
those who keep trying to seduce you.
27~~Furthermore,
as for you,
the
anointing {of the Holy Spirit}
which
you have received from Him
resides
in you.
Furthermore,
you do not have need
that
anyone be teaching you.
But
as His anointing keeps teaching you
concerning
the all things {of bible doctrine}
and
It {bible doctrine} is true/doctrine
and
furthermore, it is not a lie/false,
in
fact, as it {doctrine} has taught you . . .
keep
residing in It.
{Divine Dynasphere/'walk by means of the light'}
{Note:
All learning of Doctrine must be in the filling of the Holy Spirit.
RBT says the 'anyone' refers to false teachers. So the pastor
teachers must be filled with the Spirit as they study and when they communicate.}
28~~And
now, dear children,
keep
residing in It {the Divine Dynasphere}
that
if He should appear
-
maybe He will, maybe He will not -
{in their lifetime - imminence of the rapture of the Church}
we
might have confidence
and
might not be put to shame by Him
{at the Judgement Seat of Christ}
'at
His coming'/'in His presence'.
29~~If
you know
that
He is righteous/honorable . . .
you
also should know that everyone
who
performs that righteousness
{momentum inside the DD}
has
been born from Him.
