From Such Turn Away (2Timothy 3:5)

Three Wishes: Grace Mercy Peace.

Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. The exhortation ending the 2Timothy 3:1-5 allegoric moral is "from such turn away". To see what "such" is, let's look at the verses, then discuss the biblical moral thereof such exhortation, using a modern movie (Merlin) to demonstrate the biblical exhortation moralized:

1Tim 3:1-5 (Holy Bible; Authorized KJV)

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away".

The "last days", as noted in Hebrews 1, are simply AD days, in comparison to BC days which are called "time past". And for nearly 2,000 yrs already, such have been globally accounted as opposite: <=BC/AD=>. Two of such days have passed, and beyond 2,000AD is biblically noted as the "third day" in Hosea 6:2, which is also the seventh day in John 1 and 2:1 when counting the days therein. And in Revelation, which takes place on the Sabbath (noted by seven benedictions [blessed is...] therein, which only occurred on the Sabbath), we also find a Sabbaths shewdown on such third day: day of the LORD vs day of God (as also noted in 2Peter 3).

What's noted about last days is "men"(plural) shall have a form of godliness, but deny the power(gospel: Rom 1:16) thereof, namely Christ: "the end of the law". And since such things are notably an "allegory"(Gal 4:24), what we are to turn away from is the law, of such grace(is) + law(added).

The best movie example I know of which depicts this biblical moral and exhortation is the 1998 TV Movie: Merlin, starring Sam Neill, Miranda Richardson, Helena Bonham Carter, John Gielgud, Rutger Hauer; written by David Stevens, Peter Barnes; directed by Steve Barron. In such a movie the real magic is at the end, where they all as one simply "from such turn away". For it is notable Merlin always fails in his fights (warfare) with evil Mab, who unknowingly uses his own strength against him to prevail (for law not only source of sin: Rom 5:13, but "strength of sin": 1Cor 15:56; allegoric "strong man" JC said first bind in order to spoil the hse of sin: Mt 12:29). But when they all turn away from such evil (law), give it no place, not even acknowledgment, it simply vanishes, which is also biblical, as noted in Hebrews 8:13 (it's ready to vanish) and in 1Corinthians 13:8 (it shall vanish).

So, when "we all are one" simply turn away from law, stop giving such faulty accuser of the brethren any place, both law and the result of the law: sin & death, will simply vanish, having only been a counter part in a shew, the childish part to put away: 1Cor 13:11 to be "man" kind, the one new man kind JC became in Eph 2, where it notes he did so by abolishing the law, blotting out the ordinances (of law) against us: Col 2:14. Paul also clarifies every Mosaic law written in stone and in ink is to be "done away" (1Cor 13; 2Cor 3; Heb 10:9; etc).

As Paul notes in Galatians 4, where he notes such things are an allegory (with a moral), the script-u-are saith: Cast out the bondwoman (this Agar = Mt Sinai = law) and her son (result of law: sin & death). Many try to cast out sin without casting out the source and strength of sin: law, giving place to sin consciousness not purged (Heb 10), which gives place to a potential latter state being "worse": Mt 12:45; Mt 23:15; 2Pet 2:20 instead of better.

We've all seen the big WAVE from LAW (worketh wrath) in S.E. Asia, which makes it fairly evident "we all are one" have become so law<=law it's like a second beast giving place to a first beast in Revelation 13; and we've all seen just how merciless such "law worketh wrath" can be; Not to mention it's been the 'age of grace' now for nearly 2,000 yrs, and "God hath not appointed us (of them/us) to wrath": 1Thessalonians 5:9, which is allegoric for God hath not appointed us to law(worketh wrath). Gentiles were never given the law, and Jews have not even been under the law since it got nailed as "enmity" and "abolished" by Jesus Christ.

So, let us all "from such turn away", as being the 'real' magic in the Bible is also at the end, which "last trump" it played by "his angel" (Paul) has no mention of law at all, and by such pure grace poof goes the dragon:

The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
